America's Best Lost Recipes: 121 Heirloom Recipes Too Good to Forget
By The Editors of Cook's Country Magazine
Cook's Illustrated - 2007
A mostly whole wheat sweet breakfast bread with buttermilk, walnuts, raisins and dates, and no oil or fat. It came together rather quidkly, cooked the exacted amount of time specified and looked just like the picture in the book! It was remarkably moist and delicious and what just what I was in the mood for. It made two loaves and I have the leftovers presliced and wrapped for breakfast on the go!

The base of the cake has dates softened in boiling water which adds to the moistness. It is topped with walnuts and chocolate chips. It tastes as delicious as it looks. I love that it is made in a 9 X 13" pan so it makes a fair amount. It is rather easy to mix up as there is no additional topping or frosting that goes on later. The story that goes along with it about how long this cake has been made also makes you want to cook it.

This is a very good plain monkey bread. I prefer mine with nuts and sometimes raisins. But if you just want a sticky, not overly sweet breakfast treat, this is a great recipe. I do like that they tell you how many pieces to cut it into at the start. I remembered to only partially dip each ball into the melted butter. It is easy to spread it with your fingers to cover the rest of the ball; otherwise I have run out of melted butter before. I also try to keep one hand for the butter and the other for the sugar. I also did not let mine rise as high as they recommended and it turned out perfectly.

A delicious grilled flounder recipe that kept the fish moist. The fillet is topped with a mixture of lemon juice, parmesan, butter, mayonaise and green oinions that tastes a lot better than it sounds. Substituting part of a fresh banana leaf for the aluminum foil platform has worked very well for us.

I have not been able to cook any recipes with soy sauce (bad reaction to soy) until a colleague showed me this recipe. It turned out dark and real salty with some umami flavor and so seems like a great substitute. The next time I will try and find bouillon without MSG and substitute apple vinegar for balsamic to get rid of the sulfites.

Air Fry Everything!
By Meredith Lawrence
Walah!, LLC Publishers - 2016
I used gluten-free beer, flour and bread crumbs in this recipe. The trick was to be sure to spray on enough oil to saturate the coating or it came out dry and unappetizing. It was nice to be able to manipulate the recipe and make something gluten free. The amount that is proacticaql to make at one time depends on your air fryer.

We liked the rub that was used for cooking the chicken wings, it is worth trying without the sauce. The ssauce was improved by heating the cherry jam to dissolve lumps and cutting up the larger cherries in it. We also like that the sauce was applied after cooking.

It will taste different depending on what type of mustard you use. Whole seed mustard made a thin sauce and many of the seeds did not stick. It helped for the final 4 minutes of cooking after the sauce was added, to stop at 2 minutes, add more sauce and shake, then cook for the final two minutes.

The dry rub is excellent. We frequently make this recipe with chicken thighs. I make large batches of the rub. For the two tablespoons of chili powder I make one teaspoon of it smoked paprika. The chicken is best fresh right out of the air fryer, so I prefer to not make enough for leftovers unless you want cooked chicken for a recipe.

30 Delicious Dump Cake Recipes
By Lori Burke

This was a very quick dessert with two cans of cherry pie filling a box of cake mix, butter and pecans. I substituted Butter Fudge cake mix for the Swiss Chocolate cake mix that I could not find. It had strong cherry and chocolate flavor and the pecans added a nice crunch. I don't usually use cake mixes, but this makes a quick dessert without a lot of chopping, measuring and mixing.

This was a simple dump cake with 4 cups of blueberries. I used frozen ones. The cake mix was lemon and no nuts were used, so I did not find this version as interesting. The apple blueberry version has more fruit and also nuts and was superior to this one. However, it was very popular at a potluck.

Two cans of apple pie filling, yellow cake mix, lots of butter and pecans with a few other ingredients in a 9 X 13" pan. I wanted a dessert for the adults to go along with the ice cream sundaes at a potluck and it was very popular, with the vanilla ice cream on top. I will make this again for a pot luck dessert when I don't have time for measuring and chopping. I found I could use my cheese slicer the long ways on the sticks of butter to quickly cut thin slices to cover the dry cake mix.

A can of apple pie filling and 4 cups of blueberries. I used the frozen ones I am trying to use up. Other than that a typical dump cake with 1/2 cup of pecans. It was a nice quick crumble and great for breakfast.

This was a very quick dessert with lots of cherries from a can of pie filling and I substituted a 28 jar of Morello cherries for the can of cherries. Since you were supposed to use the liquid as well, we used only half of it. Then a box of cake mix, butter and pecans. It had strong chocolate flavor and the coconut and walnuts added a nice crunch. I don't usually use cake mixes, but this makes a quick dessert without a lot of chopping, measuring and mixing.

This was another well received pot luck dessert. I used a 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple instead of the 15 oz can called for and just did not use all of the juice. I used organic shredded and not sweetened coconut and was surprised that worked out well. The top was beautifully browned, it added a bit of crunch to the top and the pan was completely emptied. A nice variation on this type of dessert.
