The best quote about the allure of red velvet cake comes from Southern food writer Angie Mosier, who said, "It's the Dolly Parton of cakes -- a little bit tacky, but you love her." It's true: the cake is sometimes appallingly red, but I don't know anyone who can resist it. This version, modestly adapted from DamGoodSweet: Desserts to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth, New Orleans Style by David Guas and Rachel Pelzel, is my all-time favorite. The cupcakes have a subtle chocolate flavor, deep mahogany color and lavish swirl of tangy cream cheese frosting on top. Kitschy? Yes, but they sure do look pretty in their simple pink liners!

This fruit-packed smoothie is a little sweet, a little tart and a whole lot of healthy. Frozen fruit and low fat Greek yogurt make it extra thick and
creamy -- a treat! Make it for breakfast and you'll feel satisfied until lunchtime. |
