This velvety smooth and tangy cheesecake is so delicious that it's hard to believe there is anything light about it. Reduced-fat cottage cheese, light cream cheese and Greek yogurt team up to rival the original full-fat version without giving up any flavour or texture. Omit the candied lemon zest for an even lighter version of classic New York cheesecake.
Hummingbird cake has the crushed pineapple, nuts and spices you'd find in carrot cake, but instead of shredded carrots, the batter is studded with diced bananas. A swirl of cream cheese icing is all you need on top, but if you really want to knock everyone's socks off, top your cupcakes with our Pineapple Flowers, attaching the banana chips and pecan halves with dabs of icing.
Lox and cream cheese get a tasty makeover in the form of a pizza that uses convenient store-bought dough. Most pizza package directions mention that the dough should stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out – this helps prevent it from puffing up in the oven. Baby kale is sweeter and more tender than its mature counterpart and makes a fresh finishing touch.
Bagel fans make a ritual of picking up freshly baked bagels at their favourite bakery.

This is a favorite among my friends... I serve it just about every time we get together. Very easy to make and delicious!
This is a great dip to bring to a party as an appetizer. Everybody will absolutely love it! My mother started to make it for me years ago so I could bring it to parties. My friends still request that I bring it whenever we're getting together. Serve it with tortilla chips, or any type of cracker.

I came up with this recipe for my son, Eric. He did not like the Nacho Dip that I normally make with salsa, so I decided to try something different that he might like. This is his "Football Dip". It's a hit with everyone who tries it. I've yet to make it & not have someone ask for the recipe.
