Today's featured recipe comes from Group B. Tracy of Pale Yellow made Chocolate Coconut Fudgsicles from her assigned blog, Cheese Curds in Paradise.

The thought of making homemade ones makes me VERY happy and excited. They are the perfect treat for summer!

Tracy had this to say about her recipe:

"Delightful for these hot summer days.  They are creamy, sweet, and full of chocolate flavor with no weird ingredients.  These should definitely go on the must make list!"

Chocolate Granola: 84th & 3rd

Today's featured recipe comes from Group D. JJ of 84th & 3rd made Chocolate Granola from her assigned blog, Food.Baby.Life. I am all about granola right now - it's easily my favorite snack (with yogurt). I can only imagine how great this would be with strawberry yogurt - be it would taste like a chocolate-covered strawberry :)

JJ had this to say about her recipe:

"It is worth taking quite seriously my number one piece of advice if you make this recipe — store the granola out of sight. If you leave it on the counter, catching a glimpse each time you pass it on the way to the sink, you will want to pick at it endlessly (just one more spoon, ok, two more, maybe three), even after having a bowl of it for breakfast. Ahem."

Hummus with Roasted Tomatoes and Whole Wheat Pita: Sew You Think You Can Cook

Today's featured recipe comes from Group D. Lauren of Sew You Think You Can Cook made Hummus with Roasted Tomatoes and Whole Wheat Pita from her assigned blog, The Wimpy Vegetarian. I haven't had hummus in forever and I am definitely craving it after seeing Lauren's reveal day post!

Lauren had this to say about her recipe:

"I was able to check two items off my culinary bucket list thanks to Susan!  I knew that hummus was simple enough to make, especially taking advantage of canned garbanzo beans (sorry, Susan!), but I always shoved it off with a comment of “one day.” Making homemade pita wasn’t something I thought I’d tackle so soon, but how can I serve hummus during a football game without some pita bread to go with it? Conveniently, Susan had a recipe for this too. And I have to say, it wasn’t as difficult as I’d anticipated!"

Member Fave: Corn Bisque

Today's guest post comes from Amanda of Dancing Veggies - she is sharing a fabulous meal for the cold night's ahead!

Greetings! This was my third (!) year participating in the Secret Recipe Club so when I saw the call for bloggers to reflect on their favorite recipe of the year - I knew I had to get involved. 

I knew it was going to be tough to pick just one recipe from the 15 awesome ones I did this past year (11 with group A and 4 orphans) and boy was I right! I went back and forth and back and forth, trying to decide what factor to use to determine the top recipe. Should it be the one that was most popular on the blog? Or the one that I have made the most outside of the challenge? Or the one that the most people have told me they have made? 

In the end I asked my husband to select and with that the incredible Corn Bisque I made back in June when I was partnered with Cookaholic Wife. This was one of my favorite blogs of the year, mostly because Nicole and I have a lot in common - to include city of residence and age! 

I did have to alter the original recipe in order to make it vegetarian (and kosher!) but a favorite Baltimore spice ensured that the original flavor profile was still there.

2014 was a tasty year, and I'm greatly looking forward to all the treats that 2015 will bring!!!!

Slow Cooker Gingered Applesauce: Edesia's Notebook

Lesa had this to say about her recipe:

"I made applesauce in the slow cooker last year, but I lost the paper I wrote down my recipe on.  Bummer.  Renee's recipe really intrigued me because I love ginger and I thought it was such a genius idea to put it in applesauce.  I couldn't wait to try it."
