Cranberry Swirl Coffee Cake (made with homemade cranberry sauce) Orange Butter Cake Apple Streusel Coffee Cake Cinnamon Squares by Dorie Greenspan Will PM any of these recipes to you if you're interested. They're all T&T.

I would like to try RLB's recipe, but could not find it, even under Twin Cities.com. Does anybody have a working link? Thanks ← Oli, I can PM the recipe to you if you'd like. Let me know.

Coconut (preferably toasted), fresh berries... Some more ideas: http://www.epicurious.com/gourmet/last_touch/toppings http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Graham-Cracke...ing/Detail.aspx

Have you tasted the honey alone? Some honeys can have a bitter aftertaste.

This book sounds excellent: More Great Good Dairy-Free Desserts Naturally http://www.amazon.com/More-Great-Dairy-Fre...5398091-8010868

This sounds like an odd combination, but suprisingly, it's excellent! Tomato Open Sandwiches with Peanut Butter http://www.recipezaar.com/23836

I love this one (I usually do 2 layers of tomatoes): Easy Tomato-Cheese Pie with Crumb Crust http://www.recipezaar.com/27486

Here are some from my files that sound good (haven't tried these yet): DEEP CHOCOLATE BROWNIES WITH NIBS *13th recipe listed http://www.estarcion.com/gastronome CHOCOLATE FEATHERWEIGHT COOKIES WITH WALNUTS AND COCOA NIBS http://orangette.blogspot.com/2006/01/when...-to-dinner.html Here's a savory recipe: CITRUS COCOA-NIB SALAD *see last recipe listed http://www.deliciouslivingmag.com/magazine...&articleid=1848

Use them in pasta dishes. Add halved tomatoes to sauteed garlic, mix just until heated through. Toss in pasta, goat cheese, basil, etc. Use them in bruschetta recipes. Stuff them with feta, goat cheese, or blue cheese... Someone just posted a recipe on another forum for "Gingered Tomato Chutney" from Cuisine At Home, which calls for cherry tomatoes. Will PM the recipe to you if you're interested.

jende, I'm glad it turned out well! I definitely must try this soon. Thanks for your review.

Now that's smart thinking!

Wow - 113! " 'Solar' Jam' " - good name, and the taste would be unique - you should bottle it and sell it!

jende, please let me know how it turns out - I'm forever looking for a good chocolate cream pie, and like you, I don't want one that's either too heavy or too lowfat - this sounds like it could be it!

This one was highly recommended to me, but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet. It sounds pretty rich, and is probably not what you're looking for, but I'll post the link anyway: Triple-chocolate pudding pie with cappuccino cream http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/108325 Here's another one to check out, which sounds less rich - just uses milk: Chocolate Cream Pie http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/109139

I also love croissants, especially chocolate; also almond croissants, ham and cheese, spinach and cheese, etc. Some other favorites are hazelnut or almond crescent cookies, jam thumbprints, cinnamon twists, cinnamon rolls, donuts, coffee cakes, muffins, oatmeal cookies...

Thank you all for the recommendations!

This may not fit in your budget, but these are excellent: Salmon Canapes: 1/2 cup each chopped smoked salmon and cream cheese, softened, mixed with 2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill (optional), topped with 1/2 red onion, diced. Spread onto mini pumpernickel rounds, squares, or quartered sandwich slices. Serves 6.

Thanks a lot - I've never tried their "Spreadables." Will have to check out the strawberry the next time I'm in the supermarket.

I've been buying Smucker's and used to use Polaner's fruit-sweetened strawberry jam. These, of course, are not overly sweet, since there's no processed sugar or corn syrup, but the strawberry taste is too muted. Any recommendations? Thanks.

A potato would be good in there as a thickener. Here's a fantastic pepper soup, which I've made several times. I usually use 1 yellow and 1 red pepper, add extra garlic, a little extra olive oil, etc: YELLOW PEPPER SOUP http://www.recipezaar.com/22104
