Whether you need a dessert for a celebration or want a sweet treat for your family, these Filipino tortas are a wonderful option. They're made with simple ingredients, but the flavor is indulgent. Their texture is moist like a sponge cake and becomes a beautiful golden color from the egg yolks. With a hint of vanilla, it's hard to eat just one. We did purchase the traditional tins, and loved how pretty they looked. However, a lined cupcake muffin tin will work just as well.

"This is a favorite traditional Filipino torta recipe baked during holidays and special occasions. These little cakes are so good, it's difficult to have just one. The tins I use are traditional muffin tins used for this recipe, which can be purchased online. Cupcake muffin tins can also be used." - Cynthia Lancaster

Moist and dense, this zucchini apple pecan bread has a soft, crumbly texture

Moist and dense, this zucchini apple pecan bread has a soft, crumbly texture. The cinnamon and nutmeg in this quick bread shine bright. It gives the treat a comforting taste of fall. The pecans get slightly toasted, which gives them a caramelized, nutty flavor. There's a slightly sweet flavor, probably from the shredded apples. The combination of flavors in this is wonderful! Delicious with a cup of tea.

When looking for a potato side dish and don't feel like ordinary French fries, try potato wedges

When looking for a potato side dish, and don't feel like ordinary French fries, try potato wedges. They're thick slices of potatoes that are soft and fluffy inside, and crispy on the edges. Seasoned with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and cayenne pepper, there's a slight kick. Parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese melt on top for an extra touch of decadence. These potato wedges are a tasty general side dish for steak, chicken, or burgers. Or, dip in...

A wonderful, hearty chili dip that's full of flavor - Mexican lasagna chip dip

A wonderful, hearty chili dip that's full of flavor. The slightly spicy meat layer has chunks of salsa, chopped chiles, and jalapenos. Cream cheese adds a bit of creaminess. When baked, the cream cheese, along with the shredded Mexican cheese, is nice and gooey. It's a great cheese dip served with tortilla chips, but corn chip scoops would be nice too. A great addition to taco night or game day snacking.
