Now wait a minute, don't let the word "spicy" scare you off. This really is a great tasting potato salad, and you can adjust the spicy-ness by the kind (heat level) of salsa you use. Simply use a mild salsa for a milder version, or kick up the heat with a hotter salsa....it's your choice.]]> http://www.cookinggodsway.com/ranch-style-spicy-potato-salad/feed/ 9 http://www.cookinggodsway.com/frozen-watermelon-margarita-mocktail/ http://www.cookinggodsway.com/frozen-watermelon-margarita-mocktail/#comments Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:30:58 +0000 Shannon http://www.cookinggodsway.com/?p=4279 This watermelon margarita "mocktail" tastes similar to the real thing, but is non-alcoholic...so even the kids can enjoy it (and definitely will :) ). It is very a refreshing drink and perfect for those hot summer days. For a more authentic margarita style drink, rub lime on edge of glass and dip in sea salt (you may want to skip this step for the kiddies).]]> http://www.cookinggodsway.com/frozen-watermelon-margarita-mocktail/feed/ 0 http://www.cookinggodsway.com/chocolate-cupcakes/ http://www.cookinggodsway.com/chocolate-cupcakes/#comments Fri, 14 May 2010 22:26:48 +0000 Shannon http://www.cookinggodsway.com/?p=4104 These chocolate cupcakes are simple and easy to make. They are soaked overnight in order to neutralize phytic acid, which makes them more digestible and nutritious. If you'd like these cupcakes to have a richer, more chocolaty flavor just add a little pure chocolate extract to the batter before baking. Frost them with either Dark Chocolate Ganache for a decadent treat OR Whipped Cream-Cheese Frosting, they taste great both ways (whipped cream-cheese is shown in photo).]]> http://www.cookinggodsway.com/chocolate-cupcakes/feed/ 3 http://www.cookinggodsway.com/vanilla-cupcakes/ http://www.cookinggodsway.com/vanilla-cupcakes/#comments Fri, 14 May 2010 22:25:28 +0000 Shannon http://www.cookinggodsway.com/?p=4191 These vanilla cupcakes are simple and easy to make.

I like to top it with finely shredded unsweetened coconut for a special touch. Another great use for this "frosting" is as a delicious dip for fresh fruit.]]> http://www.cookinggodsway.com/whipped-cream-cheese-frosting/feed/ 0 http://www.cookinggodsway.com/dark-chocolate-ganache-frosting/ http://www.cookinggodsway.com/dark-chocolate-ganache-frosting/#comments Fri, 14 May 2010 22:20:03 +0000 Shannon http://www.cookinggodsway.com/?p=4157 Chocolate Ganache is so easy to prepare, yet it makes cakes/cupcakes taste so decadent. Not to mention it is so versatile. Use it as a glaze to pour over a cake or a whipped frosting to pipe or spread on top of a cake.....either way it is delicious!]]> http://www.cookinggodsway.com/dark-chocolate-ganache-frosting/feed/ 2 http://www.cookinggodsway.com/mini-peanut-almond-nut-butter-cups/ http://www.cookinggodsway.com/mini-peanut-almond-nut-butter-cups/#comments Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:08:57 +0000 Shannon http://www.cookinggodsway.com/?p=3339 Peanut Butter Cups are-were my favorite candy, and I thought that I could never eat them again.....until now! These nut butter cups are easy to make and are a fabulous treat. Made with raw honey and great-for-you coconut oil, you can feel good about eating this candy :) I make these peanut butter cups in small batches so I won't be tempted to eat too many; and also so the melted chocolate mixture stays fresh, smooth, and creamy throughout the layering process. So with that said, if you want to double the recipe, feel free. But I would suggest that you do the melted chocolate in separate batches...when one batch runs out.]]> http://www.cookinggodsway.com/mini-peanut-almond-nut-butter-cups/feed/ 3 http://www.cookinggodsway.com/cafe-mocha-3-ways/ http://www.cookinggodsway.com/cafe-mocha-3-ways/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2010 22:35:31 +0000 Shannon http://www.cookinggodsway.com/?p=2792 Teeccino is a wonderful herbal coffee, it doesn't contain coffee...therefore it has absolutely NO caffeine, but tastes just like coffee (read more about it here). Did you know that even decaf coffee has at least 7 to 10 mg of caffeine per 6 ounce cup, and decaf coffee brewed at coffee bars can contain twice as much caffeine because they typically brew coffee stronger. Enjoy this delicious hot mocha three ways....regular, cinnamon, or peppermint. It is also great served over ice, simply use extra-strong brewed Teeccino instead of regular-strength. If you can handle regular coffee, feel free to use it...but drink it in moderation as it is acidic to the body...read more about Coffee & Your Health.]]> http://www.cookinggodsway.com/cafe-mocha-3-ways/feed/ 2 http://www.cookinggodsway.com/honey-roasted-cashews/ http://www.cookinggodsway.com/honey-roasted-cashews/#comments Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:30:56 +0000 Shannon http://www.cookinggodsway.com/?p=2503 Did you know cashews are a good source of monounsaturated fat and protein? They are high in numerous vitamins and minerals and when consumed can help us avoid many health issues. In fact two handfuls of cashews have the same therapeutic value as a dose of Prozac. Read more about that in this article: Cashews, Depression, & Other Health Disorders, in our Tips, Tricks, & Information page. These honey-roasted cashews are made with all natural healthy ingredients, including raw honey. They are super easy to make and taste wonderful....you won't want to stop eating them.]]> http://www.cookinggodsway.com/honey-roasted-cashews/feed/ 0 http://www.cookinggodsway.com/orange-glazed-cranberry-pecan-bread/ http://www.cookinggodsway.com/orange-glazed-cranberry-pecan-bread/#comments Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:00:11 +0000 Shannon http://www.cookinggodsway.com/?p=2351 These mini-loaves of orange-glazed cranberry bread make terrific gifts during the holidays. They look so pretty and shiny from the glaze on top and they taste so wonderful that the lucky recipient won't even realize how healthy they are ;) This recipe should make 4 to 5 mini-loaves, depending on the size of your pans and how much you fill them.]]> http://www.cookinggodsway.com/orange-glazed-cranberry-pecan-bread/feed/ 0
