The flavour is much lighter than traditional carrot cake. Carrot cake is essentially a spice cake and has a heady scent of ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. This carrot cake loaf on the other hand, only contains a ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and no other spice, making it the perfect early fall treat. Read Karen Gordon's full recipe here.

This overwhelmingly delicious cheesecake is sure to satisfy the dessert lover in your life. Unlike other cheesecake recipes, I whip this dessert up in the blender. It really doesn't get any easier. This recipe makes one 3-1/2' tall cheesecake that serves six, but in my household, it only serves three. So plan accordingly. Read Karen Gordon's full recipe here. This recipe infuses a deep chocolate cake with a generous amount of smooth, salty peanut butter and covers it with a peanut butter glaze.
