Curry Coconut Lemongrass Bars

I always like taking traditionally savory ingredients and incorporating them  into a dessert.  These bars look like normal lemon squares but have an unexpected twist that makes them a whole lot more interesting.  The flavors blend together very nicely for a delicious and addictive treat.

Fig and Almond Coffee Cake

The other day I had a craving for coffee cake.  Not just any coffee cake, but the kind with huge chunks of streusel on top and dusted with powdered sugar.  I looked up several recipes and decided to go off of one by Martha Stewart, but made some of my own changes.  The result was a deliciously moist cake with a fig filling and an almond streusel topping.  New Years resolutions are for quitters so enjoy this decadent cake for a sweet start to the new year.

Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

If you're looking for a soft, chewy, oatmeal raisin cookie with just a hint of spice then look no further.  This cookie is delicious and highly addictive.  The trick is to not over-bake it and to chill the dough before putting it in the oven.  Now that I've given away my secrets, read on for the full recipe.
