German Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake
I love the taste of German chocolate cake, but I find the sticky coconut pecan frosting overly sweet. This lighter version skips the frosting, adds nuts and coconut to the batter, and includes zucchini to make the cake super moist.

Cardamom Spice Baked Apples
My favorite is to stuff the apples with dates and nuts, sweeten them lightly with maple syrup, and flavor them with warming cinnamon and cardamom. These apples are perfect served warm with a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt.
