Here's a cake that is timely because it uses fresh fruit. My mom and I make this. It is a torte-style, not a layer type cake.
What is unique, is that it came from my step-father's sister, who lives in Switzerland. They bake by weight instead of measurements. It's a very easy recipe and good. You'll need a kitchen scale.

Ruthie's Cake
3 eggs. Whatever they weigh, use equal weights of sugar, butter and flour.
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
1 tsp baking powder

Beat eggs, butter, sugar and vanilla. Add flour and baking powder. Pour into a greased and floured springform pan.

Sprinkle dough with ground almonds. Top with fruit of your choiice---blueberries, peaches, pears, plums etc.

Bake at 350 till golden....50 minutes.

It's been so warm, I've been thinking about salads a lot lately. I love the sound of this dressing. GREEK PASTA SALAD (The Perfect Pantry) For the dressing: 1 garlic clove 7 sun-dried or slow-roasted tomato halves, roughly chopped 2 Tbsp plain nonfat yogurt 1 tsp Greek seasoning 1/4 cup white wine vinegar 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1-1/2 tsp agave nectar (or honey, or sugar substitute) 5-6 tsp water For the salad: 8 oz rotini or other twisty pasta (I use Dreamfields) 1-1/2 cup diced fresh tomatoes, any type 1 cup diced cucumber (I use seedless English cucumber) 1/2 medium green bell pepper, diced 1/2 cup pitted large black olives, sliced in half 3 Tbsp chopped fresh dill 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, or more to taste In a blender, combine all dressing ingredients, and blend on high speed until smooth. If you'd like the dressing thinner, add a bit more water. Set aside. Bring 4 quarts of water to the boil in a large pot. Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain and add to a large mixing bowl. Combine all remaining ingredients in the mixing bowl along with as much of the dressing as you like. Garnish with some extra dill fronds, and serve at room temperature.

I haven't made this, but it sure sounds good. A different kind of monkey bread and I would probably use apricot preserves or maybe pineapple. ORANGE MARMALADE COFFEE CAKE (A BloggerÃ¯Â¿Â½s Life) 1 cup sweet orange marmalade 2 tablespoons (or more to taste) chopped, lightly toasted walnuts 1 cup firmly packed white granulated or brown sugar (each work well and both taste great) 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 (approximately 12 ounce) cans of refrigerated buttermilk biscuits 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine . Preheat oven to 350 degrees F for baking. Spread marmalade evenly in the bottom of a greased, 12-cup Bundt pan; top with walnuts. Melt butter in a small bowl. In a medium-sized bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. In assembly-line fashion, place ingredients in the following order: bowl of melted butter, bowl of sugar/cinnamon mixture, and prepared Bundt pan. Separate refrigerated biscuits, dip in melted butter, then dredge in sugar/cinnamon mixture. Stand biscuits on edge (standing upright) around Bundt pan, spacing as evenly as possible. Drizzle any remaining butter over biscuits, and sprinkle with any remaining sugar/cinnamon mixture. Place in 350 degree F oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until top of biscuits turn just golden. Cool in pan on wire rack for about 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving platter or dish. Serve immediately. Yield: Serves 8

This looks good to me and healthy! It's in my to-try binder. I plan on replacing the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves with curry. Curried Lentil, Wild Rice and Orzo (Canadian Living) 1/2 cup wild rice 2/3 cup green lentils or brown lentils 1/2 cup orzo pasta 1/2 cup currants 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion 1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted Dressing: 1/4 cup white wine vinegar 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1/2 tsp granulated sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground coriander 1/4 tsp turmeric 1/4 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1 pinch cinnamon 1 pinch cloves 1 pinch cayenne pepper 1/3 cup canola oil or vegetable oi In large pot of boiling salted water, cover and cook wild rice for 10 minutes. Add lentils; boil for 20 minutes. Add orzo; cook just until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well and transfer to large bowl. Add currants and onion. Dressing: In small bowl, whisk together vinegar, cumin, mustard, sugar, salt, coriander, turmeric, paprika, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and cayenne; whisk in oil. Pour over rice mixture and toss gently. Let cool; cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.) To serve, sprinkle salad with almonds. Source : Canadian Living Magazine

Oh that brings back memories. Sunday dinner: mashed potatoes with English peas. You make a well in the center of your serving of potatoes and add the English peas.
