A cake a week

This is so sweet. I had dated men over the years who hated me baking anything like that because they didn’t want to become overweight. But I always felt like my hand was cut off when they wouldn’t let me!

Since I’m conscious of my own health though I had decided to subscribe to healthy baking blogs.

I will note that when we have company I bake the full on decadent recipes.

So here are some of the healthy recipes I’ve made: -pumpkin spice cookies (gluten free) -low sugar candied pecans -black bean brownies (yep made with black beans and so good) -home made granola bars (low sugar) -chocolate cake, vanilla cake -no sugar lemon meringue -apple crisp (no sugar) -chocolate fondue with fruit

but then I’ve had my share of regular awesome recipes and I always seem to fall back on my “better homes and gardens” cook book my mom gave me as a shower gift. It’s filled with cakes and muffins, just filled with them.

For healthy sweets I love: chocolate covered Katie

I started making homemade hamburger buns. My husband gets so excited when I make them and he’s been getting creative with making burgers. It’s nice because we rarely grilled and now the homemade buns have given us a reason.

They’re delicious and something people don’t think about making themselves. I’m starting to make other things people don’t make at home often such as crackers. He was put on a high carb diet so this is helping him eat more.

I have the opposite of a sweet tooth and can never really appreciate my creations, but the sense of appreciation I get from my boyfriend whenever I bake for him has completely changed my opinion.

Why not try carrot cake? Or vegetable cake and a few muffins for dessert? The possibilities are endless.

So a funny story. Our entire marriage my husband BEGGED me to make this one particular cake, but I never would because his mother traumatized me with how difficult it was.

So after 9 years of marriage I finally made it. My husband was so very very appreciative! It was sweet and a very rewarding experience.

So if you’re interested in a crazy labor intensive cake I recommend the Paul Prudhomme Pecan Spice Cake!

This is a cute idea. I'm more of a pie person than a cake person, so can't offer many suggestions but rhubarb upside down cake is pretty good. I also like Japanese-style cheesecake which is a slightly lighter, lower cal version of regular cheesecake. It's baked in the oven and you'd need a springform pan if you don't already have one.

Fun! The two favorite cakes in our home are strawberry cake with whip cream frosting and chocolate better than sex cake (it’s almost better than sex haha).

I love lemon pound cake!! Don't have a favourite recipe but usually I up the lemon in whichever one I use because I like it tangy. A basic sugar glaze on top and it's perfect with a cup of tea :D

Don't forget the cherries with the pineapple upside down! I also like chopping up some marashinos too and adding them into the batter.

It's a really simple one, hard to screw it up so I'm sure you'll love it!

Sometimes I also cut and layer it with a section of cream cheese frosting too, since you said he has a wicked sweet tooth (like myself) might be something to consider :). Since you mention you have fruit trees, when the time comes consider an angel food cake!

You might like the subreddit r/52weeksofbaking They do a different baking challenge each week and share their creations. It gives good ideas for different baking items that you don't think of yourself, and when they do cakes week - which is actually this week -- there are a lot of creative ideas.

I love a good red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.

After T-giving I bought a few extra turkeys for the freezer. My DH LOOOVES turkey. I made 1 for his birthday last weekend. He was thrilled. We didn't want the whole potatoes/gravy/ scene so we just had some plain rice and a green salad. Our son came over for the birthday feast.

Suggestion: Some weeks you are going to be tight on time so don't be afraid to use box cake mixes. I tried a Krispy Kreme cake mix - it looked like a huge donut and it was very quick easy and delicious.
