1. SPICY CHEESE CAULIFLOWER HOTDISH

I don't always love Cauliflower, but this dish was definitely one to share, especially if you like a little bit of spice with your cheese.

2. SUGAR-FREE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

This cool dessert looks like it's loaded with calories, but since we are talking Jello and fruit, it's a great alternative to higher-calorie treats and tastes like magic.

3. SARMA

I had never heard of Sarma before this year, but if you like cabbage, you're going to love this tasty, hearty dish.

4. 5-STAR FRENCH SILK PIE

Every time I drive by Perkins, I want to stop in for a piece of French Silk Pie; but at over 800 calories for one little slice, I thought there must be another way. Try this one. You're gonna love it.

5. MINNESOTA GARDEN SALSA

This salsa is so tasty, you'll never want any other kind again. Well, maybe that's a little extreme, but it not only appeals to your eyes with its bright colors, but your taste buds will also thank you.

6. BITS-O-BACON CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

A little chocolate always goes great with a little salty flavor. Bacon and chocolate? Winning combination.

7. THE MAD BAKER- I BAKE WHEN I'M MAD COOKIES

I can create some pretty tasty food when I'm upset. Try this and then make your own Mad Baker treats the next time you need to blow off a little steam.

8. THE BEST ROYAL ICING FOR YOUR HOLIDAY COOKIES

Holidays deserve special treatment and this royal icing is perfection.

9. SECRET INGREDIENT COOKIES

This was my surprise recipe of the year. I hope you try it and let me know if you like it as much as I do.

10. ADORABLE YET CREEPY SPIDER COOKIES FOR HALLOWEEN

I don't like spiders at all, but I love Reese's and Halloween; for that, I can make these adorable cookies that are fun to make with the kids.
