Not much food is allowed at first, but dishes like these are keeping me happy. http://www.grouprecipes.com/94151/low-carb-salad.html My ex's family, upstate New York Ukrainian descent, had some lively food...this was one thing they loved. Nowadays I'd look for healthy bologna to make it. http://www.grouprecipes.com/72101/fried-bologna-tomato-soup-thing.html This was the gold standard for birthday cakes while my children were growing up. Except for the disastrous Raggedy Ann cake one year. It takes a little time but it's so worth it. http://www.grouprecipes.com/71206/chocolate-layer-cake.html A simple but rich topping for any cake really. Reminds me of penuche. http://www.grouprecipes.com/71201/lazy-daisy-topping-for-white-cake.html A nice variation on carrot bread. Instead of cream cheese frosting you get a fresh lemony glaze that soaks into the cake, making it ever so moist. http://www.grouprecipes.com/71199/carrot-walnut-bread.html This recipe showed me the light. The rhubarb light, that is. Incredibly easy and very flavorful. Great potluck item. http://www.grouprecipes.com/71196/easy-rhubarb-cake.html I've seen a lot of good looking oatmeal cakes here but none exactly like this really old-fashioned one. I think the spices in the cake and the frosting ingredients make it extra good. http://www.grouprecipes.com/71193/oatmeal-cake-with-broiled-frosting.html My Mom used to make this for my Dad to take on his fishing trips. It's moist so keeps very well and isn't too sweet but has a beautiful brown sugar frosting. My job was to chop the raisins to smithereens while she made the batter. Whew http://www.grouprecipes.com/70743/hot-water-cake-with-penuche-frosting.html This is a great appetizer and so easy. And healthy enough to have for a quick meal on the run. Very much in demand at potlucks. http://www.grouprecipes.com/70470/spinach-cheese-brownies.html So lively and fresh! Everyone loves it. http://www.grouprecipes.com/68260/thai-green-mango-salad.html
