    You are welcome.  It's not much, but I saw a post asking for help in moving it.  And besides using the copy and paste method, I don't know how to help you with that.  I figured this might work for the time being.

    RE: HC Recipes to Remember

    This is not so healthy but it is the first thing I made from the cookbook I received from Pat Ament When we got together the summer of 2004. Cookbook is Home Cookin’ from Plano Sesquicentennial 1854-2004 this is the best cake I have ever had.

    ALMOST BETTER THAN SEX CAKE

    INGREDIENTS:
    1 chocolate cake mix.
    1 can sweetened and condensed milk.
    6oz. jar caramel ice cream topping.
    6oz. jar butterscotch ice cream topping.
    1 8oz. container of Cool Whip.
    4 crushed Heath bars.


    DIRECTIONS:
    Bake cake as directed in 9x13 pan. Take the handle of a
    wooden spoon and poke holes all over the cake while it's
    still warm. Pour can of condensed milk over warm cake, then
    repeat with caramel and butterscotch topping. Refrigerate for 6 hours. Frost cake with Cool Whip topping and sprinkle with crushed
    Heath bars.

    Serve immediately.

    Thank you Pat.

    This recipe is not from my Christmas gift but from a cookbook I received from a friend years ago.

    Excelsior House is either a restaurant or Bed and Breakfast in Jefferson, Texas.

    What intrigued me is this has no fat in it. I haven't tried it, but plan to.

    Excelsior House Cornbread

    1 c corn meal
    1 t sugar
    1 t salt
    1 c boiling water
    2 eggs, separated
    1 t flour
    1 t baking powder

    Scald meal, sugar and salt with boiling water and let set 8 hours. Beat egg yolks and add flour and baking powder. Add this mixture to the corn meal mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry and fold into meal mixture. Bake is a well-greased pan at 450º until done.

    RE: HC Recipes to Remember

    Lusi gave me The Finnish Cookbook for Christmas of 2004 this was one of the first great recipes I used. This is very good and easy to make it is like Cabbage rolls but much less work.

    Meat-Cabbage Casserole (Lihakaalilaatikko)

    1 small head cabbage, shredded.
    2 T. butter.
    2 T. dark corn syrup.
    2 tsp. salt
    ¼ tsp. ground marjoram.
    1 lb. ground lean beef.
    1 cup bread crumbs.
    ½ cup milk.
    2 eggs, beaten.

    Cook the cabbage (in enough boiling water to cover) for about 5 minutes or until tender-crisp. Drain. Add the butter, syrup, salt, and marjoram. In another bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk and eggs. Butter a 2-quart casserole and layer the cabbage and meat mixture in it, beginning and ending with the cabbage. Bake in a moderate oven (350º) for 1 hour or until the meat is done.

    Serves 6 to 8.

    The next time I make this I plan on adding a little rice into the meat mixture.
    Always have trouble leaving a good recipe alone. LOL

    RE: HC Recipes to Remember

    Mojazz, if you try the meat-cabbage casserole, serve it with some nice tart jelly on the side - something like cranberry works well. I suppose even grape would be nice. Viny, I have sometimes added a bit of rice to this as well. It works really well! And it takes care of the problem of what to serve with it. I really like this casserole - find myself sometimes craving it. There is a also a vegetarian version with pearl barley instead of beef. I'll have to look that one up. lusi

    Blueberry Scones
    Recipe from Season’s Eatings from North Dakota Cookbook
    Gift from Healthy Choice friend ~~Viny

    2 c flour
    1/3 c sugar
    2 tsp baking powder
    1/4 tsp. Salt
    5 T. chilled butter, cut in small pieces
    1 lg. Egg, beaten slightly
    1/2 c shredded coconut
    1/2 c milk
    1/4 tsp. Grated lime or lemon rind
    1 c. fresh or frozen blueberries

    ·If using frozen berries, thaw and drain on a paper towel. This will prevent excess liquid from discoloring dough.
    ·Preheat oven to 425º. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
    ·Using pastry blender, cut butter into flour mix until resembles coarse crumbs.
    ·Make a well in center. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, coconut, milk and lemon (or lime) rind.
    ·Adding the coconut with the liquids softens it and enhances the flavor. Spoon this liquid mixture in the well of dry ingredients. Stir together with a fork, just until dry ingredients are moistened.
    ·Gently stir in berries until evenly combined.
    ·Spoon scones, 2 inches apart, onto a greased baking sheet.
    ·Brush tops with milk, the sprinkle with sugar.
    ·Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
    ·Remove scones from cookie sheet to cool on wire rack.
    ·When cool, a glaze may be drizzled over.

    Glaze:
    3/4 c. powdered sugar 1/2 tsp. Vanilla 2 T. milk or water.

    My notes.
    I used some berries from the freezer and did not glaze.
    Next time I would like to use fresh berries and glaze a few for the family.

    RE: HC Recipes to Remember

    This is not from a recipe book I have, but one posted at the hospital where I go for my PT. They post 2 new "Healthy" recipes each week. I have gotten quite a few from them and have loved each one I have made.

    Chicken Sour Cream
    4 (3oz) Boneless Chicken Breasts
    1 Cup (8ozs) Fat Free Sour Cream
    1 Package Dry Onion Soup Mix
    1/2 Cup Skim Milk

    Mix sour cream, soup and milk and pour over the chicken breasts. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

    Makes 4 servings.

    The first time I made this I made 4 servings. The longer this sets (if you have any left)the better it is, so have doubled the recipe since so we can have 2 meals.

    Enjoy.........

    On another post someone was looking for a substitute for cream soups. I found this one on Cooks.com


    CONDENSED CREAM SOUP SUBSTITUTION

    To be used in place of canned soups in casseroles, lower in fat or salt.

    2 c. powdered nonfat milk
    3/4 c. cornstarch
    1/4 c. instant chicken bouillon
    2 tbsp. dried onion flakes
    1 tsp. basil leaves
    1 tsp. thyme leaves
    1/2 tsp. pepper

    Combine all ingredients and mix well. Store in airtight container until ready to use. To substitute for 1 can, combine 1/3 cup dry mix in 1 1/4 cups cold water. Heat until thickened and add to casserole. 131 calories; 1.4 grams fat.

    RE: HC Recipes to Remember

    This is excellent!! A friend who doesn't like tomatoes loves this salsa because there are no tomatoes! I understand Trader Joes has mangoes already peeled and sliced but I haven't been there myself. This is also good on grilled chicken.


    Mango Salsa

    2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
    ½ red onion, chopped
    1 red pepper, chopped (or any color)
    2 teaspoons chopped jalapenos
    Dash garlic powder
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
    1 tablespoon lime juice

    Mix all together and chill several hours. If you can find the mangoes already peeled and chopped I would recommend that because they are a pain to peel and chop.
    Can serve with regular chips or baked chips

    RE: HC Recipes to Remember

    This is my favorite all time cake recipe. We like to use it made with white sugar as the base for shortcakes. The one with brown sugar....well, it's just too good. No frosting needed on any of these except for perhaps the chocolate as it is a very light chocolate.

    SPONGE CAKE

    4 eggs
    2 cups sugar
    2 tsp vanilla
    1 cup milk
    4 tbsp butter
    1 3/4 cups flour
    4 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp salt

    Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9X13 cake pan.

    Beat eggs and sugar till light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Meanwhile heat milk and butter over low heat till butter is melted. Add dry ingredients to egg/sugar mixture alternately with the milk/butter. Mix well. Batter will be thin. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350 or till tests done. Cake nearly rises over top edge of pan and shrinks as it cools.

    Enjoy!

    It is sweet enough to eat plain without frosting although the original recipe featured it with buttercream frosting.


    Variation:

    #1 replace sugar with half white sugar, half brown sugar

    #2 replace all sugar with brown sugar

    #3 make as recipe shows and add 1/3 cup cocoa to dry ingredients

    Dede's Buttermilk Bread Recipe
    From the Bread Machine Magic cookbook I got from Barb for Christmas of 2005.

    1 1/8 cups buttermilk (or 4 Tbls. dry buttermilk powder and 1 1/8 cups water)
    3 cups bread flour
    1 1/2 tsp salt
    1 Tbls butter or margarine
    3 Tbls honey
    1/4 tsp baking soda
    1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast

    Place all ingredients in bread pan, select Light Crust setting, and press Start. After the baking cycle ends, remove bread from pan, place on cake rack, and allow to cool 1 hour before slicing.

    I used this recipe to the letter and it is great, like a sweet dough could be used for hamburger buns or rolls very easily. Great toasted.

    As always I can never leave a recipe alone so the second loaf I used 1-½ cups bread flour, 1-¼ cups whole wheat flour, ¼ cup Oat Bran and 2 extra Tbls. of buttermilk this also was very good with just a little more fiber added.

    Hi everyone,

    I made this great cucumber salad that you need to try out...
    I call this recipe....cucumber twist.....

    What I used was

    2 cucumbers
    about 1 table spoon of fresh cilantro
    salt & pepper to taste
    1/4 cup of honey Dijon salad dressing the fat free if you can find it
    1/4 cup of fat free mayonnaise
    fresh spinach leafs

    Peel the cucumbers, then cut length wise in half and take seeds out. Chop cucumber then in smaller size and place in a mixing bowl. The add the cilantro and salt & pepper.
    In another bowl mix the mayonnaise and honey Dijon dressing together.
    Then add to the cucumber and mix well and chill.
    On a plate put the spinach leafs down and then the cucumber on top and serve.

    This serves 4

    I made this one last night and wanted to come up with something new, so I made myself a new recipe..don't know what the points would be for this...

    This is excellent, and easy, I will make this often!

    Crockpot Roast Beef With Gravy

    4-6 lb roast beef
    1/2 pkg dry onion soup mix
    1 can cream of mushroom soup
    1 can water from soup
    1 can Coke (not diet)

    Place meat in crock-pot; sprinkle with soup mix. Stir together Coke, water and mushroom soup and pour over the top. Cook on low 6-7 hours. The gravy from the sauce is delicious on potatoes or rice The gravy will be thin, but you can thicken it up.

    Put in crock pot:

    3-4 sliced green peppers
    3-4 sliced onions
    1 cup ketchup
    1 cup cola (I use diet)
    chicken parts of your choice, I use boneless, skinless breasts

    Cook all day. Serve on rice, Can thicken liquid with some mashed potato flakes if desired.
    Can also make this on the stovetop, cover and simmer on very low heat several hours. Serves a lot.

    I'm sure this recipe came from someone on the BB. We enjoy this last night.

    Ro-Tel Spicey Skillet Chicken

    1 T. olive oil
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
    1 medium onion, chopped
    3 cloves of garlic, minced
    2 cups of sliced fresh mushrooms
    1 10oz. can Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies
    1/4 c. low-fat shredded mozzarella

    In a skillet, cook chicken in oil until brown. Add onion and garlic; saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and tomatoes; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occassionally. Sprinkle with cheese. Allow cheese to melt. Serve over rice.

    You can add a pound a shrimp to the dish about 5 minutes before the chicken is finished. You don't want to overcook the shrimp or they will get tough.

    If you like spicy, you have to try this. It is so good. I believe it is posted by HDMac and there have been many favorable reviews on it.
    I used La Victoria Chunky Salsa (medium). Just absolutely yummy and so little trouble. With how much sauce you get, I figure you could even stretch it to 6 breasts with same amount of sauce.

    This is absolutely wonderful! It was reviewed recently and I had to try it. What a delicious recipe!!! I used Pace Medium Salsa. Also, after the cheese sat for the 1/2 hour, I mixed it into the sauce, which, I assumed, is what I was suppose to do. I served this with mashed potatoes and smothered the pototoes with the delectable, creamy sauce that this recipe produced. Everyone love it!! I have never liked the way chicken turned out in a crock-pot,before, but using the frozen chicken breasts seemed to do the trick for me. The chicken had a great texture, unlike the other times when I have used thawed chicken. I will make this recipe again and again! Thanks, HDMac!!!

    I tried this the other day. It is from jdawn on the BB. I thought very good - a little more than just scalloped potatoes.

    This is a good casserole--has other things to hide the flavor of the cabbage.


    POLISH POTATO CASSEROLE

    1 T. margarine
    2 c. milk
    2 T. flour
    1/2-1 t. salt
    1/4 t. pepper.
    2 c. shredded cabbage
    1 lb. polish Kielbasa sausage, sliced
    1 lg. onion, sliced
    4 large potatoes(2#) (peeled & sliced thin)

    Melt margarine, stir in flour and cook for 1 min. Gradually add milk, stirring with a wire whip to eliminate lumps. Cook over medium heat until the sauce is the consistency of buttermilk. Stir in the salt and pepper.

    Grease a 3 qt. casserole. Spread 1/3 of the potato slices on the bottom, 1/2 of the onion, 1/2 of the cabbage, and 1/2 of the polish sausage. Add 1/3 of the sauce. Repeat. Top with
    the rest of the potatoes and sauce. Cover the casserole and bake in a 350° oven for 1 hr. 15 min. or until the potatoes are tender. If desired and there is enough liquid in the dish, remove the cover for the last 15 min. Makes 4-6 servings.

    These are notes from mojazz - for sauce I shake flour and milk (no margarine) together, warm in microwave - I did double the sauce since I like it saucier. The Kielbasa was light, but still had lots of flavor.

      Dad's Cornbread Recipe

      Buttermilk gives a lighter, fluffier texture to baked goods. Cornstarch, when used to replace part of the flour called for produces a silkier, softer crumb. You'll find this recipe gives a whole new flavor and texture to traditional cornbread.

      1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
      2/3 - cup cornmeal
      1/2 cup sugar
      1/2 cup cornstarch
      1 tbs. baking powder
      1 tsp. baking soda
      1-1/3 cups Buttermilk
      1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled
      1 egg, slightly beaten

      Preheat oven to 350º F

      Butter an 8-inch square-baking pan. In a large bowl, stir together first six ingredients. In another bowl, stir together buttermilk, butter and egg.
      Pour liquid into dry ingredients and stir only to moisten; don't over-stir. Pour immediately into prepared pan.
      Bake for about 55 minutes or until golden brown.
      Cut into squares and serve.
      Makes 9 servings

      My Dad found this recipe on a Hood's Buttermilk container.
      Given to me in 1987.
      (Recipe from Hoods Dairy Cookbook)

      Recipe shared by Shirley Ferrarone

      Hi Shirley,
      I figured the points on your dad's cornbread recipe...baked in an 8" square pan and cut into 16 pieces, each piece is 3.25 points. Pretty steep but in line with most cornbread recipes according to the Foods Companion. Figured out mother's too...making six servings...3 pts each. Darn!!

      1 T salt

      3 c flour

      2 eggs

      1 c yellow cornmeal

      4-4 ½ c flour



      Dissolve yeast in warm water. Combine milk, shortening, sugar and salt. Add 3 c flour and yeast mixture. Then add eggs and cornmeal. Stir in remaining flour. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place in large greased bowl and let rise until doubled in bulk. Punch down and shape into loaves and let rise until double again. Bake at 375º for about 45 minutes.



      Yield: 2 loaves



      I like to make this in a large braid. Divide the dough into three equal parts and roll each into a long rope. Lay each rope alongside the others. Pinch ends together and braid loosely. Pinch bottom ends together. Let rise and bake as above.



      This bread makes delicious toast, especially cinnamon toast.

      Tomato Basil Soup clone

      2 15.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano

      1 8 oz block of cream cheese

      Heat tomatoes until simmering. Add cream cheese and heat and stir until cheese is melted. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup. Heat again just to a simmer.

      It's rich and yummy. If you want it a bit chunky like a bisque, don't completely puree it. You could also use a regular blender to puree.

      That would be somewhat nourishing and a nice change from all the soft, liquid sweet stuff

      This is really a good black bean recipe. I did add some cajun seasoning and pico de gallo. The beans I cooked from dried and the tomato was part of diced canned. It reminds me of the beans that are served on the side at Chili's.

      Got this on the board here from Pookie 10 MI: I made it along with her reicpe for Tropical Pork Roast and served it with Spanish Rice for my DD inlaws at Christmas time. It went over very good.

      This is the best recipe I"ve ever had for black beans

      This is the best recipe for Black beans I've ever tasted. I made them for my DD inlaws at Christmas and I tripled it and there wasn't a lick left in the bowl.

      2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
      1/2 cup finely chopped onion
      1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
      1 teaspoon ground cumin
      1 teaspoon dried oregano
      2 garlic cloves, minced
      3/4 cup Chicken Broth or canned low-sodium broth
      3 Roma or plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped into 1/2-inch diced peices
      Three 15-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
      Salt and freshly ground black pepper
      Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the cumin, oregano and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the black beans and cook until the flavors are combined, and it thickens about 20 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

      RE: HC Recipes to Remember

      Made this today and it came out so crispy on the outside and wonderful texture inside. Instead of the 2 cups all purpose flour added at end, I bet I added closer to 3 - it had a very loose consistency after mixing in the 2 cups. I dumped it on the floured counter and began kneading in the additional flour. Instructions don't define how many loaves - I divided it into 2 long narrow ones and put them on parchment lined cookie sheet. Really worth the effort if you have some extra time.
      Recipe is from Buckhorn Inn at www.bbonline.com/recipe/buckhorn_tn_recipe2.html

      Italian Cracked Wheat Bread presented by Buckhorn Inn

      INGREDIENTS:

      1/4 cup cracked wheat or bulgur
      3/4 cup boiling water
      Pour water over wheat. Let sit at least 1/2 hour.

      1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)
      1 tsp yeast
      2 tsps honey
      1 cup cool water
      1 cup whole wheat flour
      1-1/2 cups bread flour
      1 tsp salt
      Approximately 2 cups all purpose flour

      (1 egg & 1 tsp water - thoroughly mix in separate bowl)

      DIRECTIONS:

      In a mixing bowl or electric stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast and honey. let sit until bubbly (approximately 10 minutes). Add cool water, whole wheat flour and bread flour. Mix until smooth. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 4-8 hours. May have to be deflated. Add cracked wheat, salt and enough all purpose flour to make a sticky dough that still barely holds its shape. Turn onto floured surface and knead adding enough flour to keep from sticking, until elastic. Cover and let rest for 1/2 hour.

      Form into desired shapes and place on greased baking sheets. Let rise until double in size. Preheat oven to 450. Cut diagonal slices on top. Brush with egg-water mixture. Bake 10 minutes, then turn oven to 400 degrees. Bake approximately 20 more minutes or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped. Cool on rack.

    I just typed in Calico Beans in the search - lazy me figured I may have put it on here before. Anyhow, there are lots of recipes and if you want more meat, HDMac has a very similar one. Anything from her is good.

    Calico Beans

    1/2 lb lean ground beef
    1/2 lb bacon
    1 large onion, chopped
    1/3 cup ketchup
    1 tsp salt
    3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
    1 tsp prepared mustard
    2 tsp vinegar
    2 (15 oz.) cans pork and beans, undrained
    1 (15 oz.)can garbanzo beans, drained
    1 (15 oz.) can kidney beans, drained
    1 (15 oz.) can lima beans, drained

    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook ground beef, bacon and onion until meat is done and onion is translucent. (personally I drain off the fat) Add ketchup, salt, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar and beans, stirring to blend thoroughly. Place mixture in a casserole or bean pot and bake for 40 minutes.

    I made a double batch of these beans to serve to the blood drive workers this past week and a quadruple batch for my nephew's graduation party today and this recipe got an overwhelming "all thumbs up" with not a single bean left in the pot! EVERYONE loved them! Best of all, they start out with a couple of cans of beans and are so simple to make. These will be made many, many times in THIS house, that's for sure! Thank you Depo for the terrific recipe! My changes are made at the bottom of the recipe. Paulette

    Depo’s Favorite Baked Beans

    2 15-oz Pork & Beans
    1 c Brown Sugar
    1/2 c Catsup
    1/2 c Coca Cola
    1 sm Onion, diced
    2 tsp Dry Mustard
    3 slices Bacon, cut into small pieces

    Mix the beans, brown sugar, catsup, Coca Cola, onion & mustard and place in a casserole dish. Dot with the bacon. Bake uncovered at 300 for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

    My changes: I used Dark Brown Sugar and used 1/2 lb of Smoked Bacon which I cooked in the oven and THEN cut into small pieces and mixed them in with the rest of the ingredients instead of just placing the pieces over the top. I cooked the beans in the oven for 2 hours and then transferred them into my crockpot to keep them hot until serving time.

    I just have to share this with you all. I was chatting with my home care nurse one day...she is from Zimbabwe. She was talking about fixing a meal for company and I asked if she was going to to American food or food from her homeland. Then we got to talking about what kinds of things they eat there etc. This is how she fixes spinach...

    1 (10 oz) box frozen chopped spinach
    1/4 c milk

    Cook the spinach in the milk in a covered saucepan stirring occasionally to help spinach thaw. When spinach is cooked, add a couple of Tbsp of peanut butter and stir until the PB is melted. Sprinkle with a little salt, red pepper flakes optional. This is so darn good! The PB mellows the spinach and they compliment each other. I could eat the whole recipe by myself. I know it sounds weird but you really ought to try it. You just never know...you might like it and Lynn, one of your kids might like to too. I used creamy PB because that's all I have but I think the chunky would be awesome!

    Basic Brine for Pork

    2 pork tenderloins, about 1 pound each
    8 c. water
    1/3 c. kosher salt
    2 bay leaves
    18 crushed peppercorns (put them in a zip-lock bag and hammer away)
    2 Tbsp. sugar
    1 large clove garlic, mashed
    6 large sprigs fresh thyme, crushed to release aromatics (I used oregano because that is what I had growing in the garden)

    Bring the water to a boil, along with all the brining ingredients, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure everything’s dissolved. Cool in a sink of ice water, then refrigerate until cold. Place tenderloins in a plastic container (I used a 2-gallon zip-lock bag) with a lid and fill with the brine (its okay if you don’t use it all). Seal and refrigerate for a day. Continued.
  • 06-27-2006 4:17 PM In reply to

    RE: HC Recipes to Remember

    Remove from brine, pat dry, and let rest from 4 to 12 hours in the refrigerator and then cook. These are approximate times. I put my tenderloin in the brine the night before about 6 or 7 p.m. I took it out of the brine and to “let it rest” about 3 p.m. Then, we started cooking it about 6 p.m.
    To cook the tenderloin on the bbq: Remove the pork tenderloin from the refrigerator about ½ hour before you will be ready to cook it to allow it to come up to room temperature. When ready to cook, heat a grill to high heat. Ruth the pork with olive oil and season it with pepper. Sear the pork on all sides to get grill marks. Move the roast to an upper rack (or over indirect heat) and put a drip pan underneath it. Cook the pork until the internal temperature reaches 150̊, about 45 minutes. Remove to platter, cover loosely with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Enjoy.

      3/4 cup sour cream
      1/4 cup miracle whip dressing
      1/3 cup sugar
      dash of salt

      The dressing with the sour cream say to add cheese & dressing right before serving to avoid getting watery. It says this salad is good leftover but will get watery the 2nd day.

      Now, I find I have several others and will be glad to post them, This is the only one that dressing was a bit different

      Peach BBQ Beans


      8 strips bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
      1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
      1 large yellow onion, chopped
      1 3 lb+ can Bushs baked beans
      a can peach pie filling*
      1/2 cup barbecue sauce
      2 tablespoons Old South BBQ Rub, recipe follows

      Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
      Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until somewhat crispy and its fat has rendered. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving the fat in the skillet.
      Add the pepper and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large baking pan.
      Add the bacon, beans, pie filling, barbecue sauce, and rub to the pan. Mix to combine and bake, uncovered, until hot and bubbly, about 1 hour. * JoLynn's note: Next time I will cut up the peach slices into bite-size pieces.

      Old South BBQ Rub:
      1/4 cup brown sugar
      1/4 cup sweet paprika
      1/4 cup kosher salt
      3 tablespoons black pepper
      2 teaspoons garlic powder
      2 teaspoons onion powder
      1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
      1 teaspoon dried basil

      Blueberry Crisp

      3 pints fresh blueberries
      1/2 C. sugar
      Juice and finely grated zest from 1 lemon
      3 T. all-purpose flour

      For the topping:
      1 C. all-purpose flour
      1 C. (packed) light brown sugar
      2/3 C. rolled oats
      1/2 t. cinnamon
      1/4 t. salt
      10 T. cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

      Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish.

      Mix the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, zest and the 3 tablespoons flour in a large bowl.

      To make the topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter and pulse repeatedly for 2-3 seconds at a time, just until the mixture is clumpy.

      Transfer the berries to the baking dish. Spread the topping evenly over the fruit. Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

      Note: I don’t own a food processor so I just use my clean hands.
      I served this with vanilla ice cream. Everyone raved about it.

      Peach Pie (Peaches & Cream Pie)
      2 pie shell, baked & cooled
      8 oz. cream cheese, softened
      2/3 cups confectioners' sugar
      2 cups cool whip
      Mix cream cheese, sugar & cool whip and spread over bottom and sides of cooled pie crust
      Slice peaches over the cream cheese mixture, about 2 cups, sliced or chopped
      Cook: 1 cup water
      1 cup sugar
      3 tablespoons cornstarch
      Cook the above until clear & thickens, remove from heat and add 4 Tablespoon peach jello, cool until lukewarm and pour over peaches.
      Refrigerate until set(about 2 hours) and serve with cool whip or whipped cream.

      I use Mrs. Smith frozen pie shells, I remove them from the tin, spray tin with pam and sprinkle sugar over the pan, put pie crust back in pan before baking.
      I sometimes use the shortbread crust. This is good but will get soft if not used the same day
      One recipe just has cream cheese & 1/2 cups sugar, mix & spread over the bottom of baked crust. (I like to add the cool whip)

      This can also be used for other fresh fruit, we like it with strawberries.

      Enjoy

    1 cup well mashed overripe bananas

    GLAZE:
    1 Cup confectioners' sugar
    2 to 3 TBS. lemon juice

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 1/2 x4 1/2 in. loaf pans. Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately. Beat batter for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in Vanilla, nuts and bananas. Spoon into loaf pans. Bake about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool before adding the glaze. For the glaze, stir confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together until smooth. Drizzle over cooled loaves.

    NOTE: I used about half as much glaze as it called for. Also, I didn't have buttermilk so I put lemon juice in regular milk and let it sit a few minutes until it kind of curdled.

    Kerr Peach Jam

    4 lbs of peaches (approx 8 cups of crushed peaches)
    6 cups sugar (approximately - see instructions below)
    3 TB bottled lemon juice (I like frozen or fresh)

    (I am not going to copy how to skin the peaches, especially because I don't go through all the boiling water thing. Just peel, pit and chop peaches. If your peach is ripe enough, the skin will very easily peel off.)
    Over medium heat, simmer gently, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, crush peaches and measure pulp. For every cup of pulp add 3/4 cup sugar. Return peach and sugar mixture to pan, add lemon juice. Over medium-high heat (#6 on my electric stove), bring to a boil and cook to jelly stage (220 degrees), approximately 15 to 20 minutes, stirring constantly. (Mine takes between 20 and 30 mins, but I'm almost at 5000 ft alt.) (I used a thermometer the first time just to see how it is when ready and have never had to use one since. When you think it's thickening, put some on a spoon and put in freezer - after a few minutes you can check and see where it is. I personally prefer a looser jam because it will firm up anyhow when refrigerated.) Immediately fill hot, sterilized half-pint jars with mixture, leaving 1/4 inch head-space. Wipe jar tops and threads clean. Place hot lids on jars and screw bands on firmly. Process in boiling water canner for 5 minutes. (I have to do for 10 mins)

    Yield: 5 to 6 half-pints

    (There is so much flexibility to this recipe because I have made 1/2 the recipe and also 3/4 the recipe. Just reduce ingredients proportionatly and no problem)

    7 cups sugar
    1 20 oz can crushed pineapple, do not drain
    Mix all above together, bring to a rolling boil and boil 20 minutes.
    Remove from heat, add:
    3 (3oz) package Peach jello, stir well, ladle into hot jars & seal

    I cover with melted parafin, I sometimes use other flavors jello and this changes flavor, if you think it has not set up well, it will when you open and refrigerate.

    Pesto from Joy of Cooking

    If freezing, add the nuts and cheese after thawing. (whoops, think I added the nuts before and it came out just fine)

    Process to a rough paste in a food processor:

    2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
    1/3 cup pine nuts
    2 medium cloves garlic, peeled
    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    With the machine running, slowly pour through the feed tube:
    1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    (I know I used much less, but not sure of amount)
    If the sauce seems dry, should be a thick paste, add a little more olive oil. Season with:
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    Use immediately or store in a covered glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

    Fudgy Low-Fat Brownies

    (Cook's Country) Makes 16 brownies

    Melt the chocolate and butter together in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water or in a microwave set to 50% power. For a truly fudgy consistency, don't overbake the brownies; as soon as a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with sticky crumbs attached, the brownies are done. If the toothpick emerges with no crumbs, the brownies will be cakey.

    3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
    (I used Hershey, didn't have any Dutch)
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/4 tsp salt
    2 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped
    (used 1 oz of bittersweet and 1 oz. of semi-sweet)
    2 TB unsalted butter
    2 TB low-fat sour cream
    1 TB chocolate syrup
    2 tsp vanilla extract
    1 large egg plus 1 large egg white
    1 cup sugar
    (nuts are not in the recipe, but I like nuts)

    1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Fold two 12-inch pieces foil lengthwise so each measures 7 inches wide. Fit 1 sheet into 8 inch square baking dish, pushing foil into corners and up sides of pan(overhang will help in removal of brownies). Repeat with second sheet, placing in pan perpendicular to first sheet. Spray foil with cooking spray.
    2. Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together in medium bowl. Melt bittersweet chocolate and butter in large bowl until smooth.
    Cool 2 to 3 minutes, then whisk in sour cream, chocolate syrup, vanilla, egg, egg white, and sugar. Using rubber spatula, fold dry ingredients into chocolate mixture until combined.
    3. Pour batter into pan, spread into corners, and level surface with spatula. Bake until slightly puffed and toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few sticky crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool brownies completely in pan on wire rack, at least 1 hour. Remove brownies from pan using foil handles. Cut into 2 inch squares and serve To keep brownies moist, do not cut until ready to serve. (Brownies can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for 3 days.)

    WW Baked Fish

    This started with Lusi’s recipe I just added a little to it.

    4 any white fish fillies (about 1-1/2 lb).
    1 tomato.
    4 slices LT cheese.
    1 zucchini.
    1 Red Bell pepper.
    Lemon juice.
    Salt.
    Pepper.
    Thyme.
    Basil.

    Slice zucchini 1/2inch thick and place in baking dish. Then place fish fillies on top of that and squeeze lemon juice on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
    Slice tomato and place on top of fish and place 1 slice of LF cheese on top of each fillies. Cut Red Bell pepper into ¼ by 3 inch slices and place on top of cheese, sprinkle with thyme and/or basil.
    Bake in 385º oven for 20 to 30 min. Broil last 2min. on high.

    I changed the layers of cheese and tomato around so that the moisture from the tomato would go into the fish and then added the bell pepper strips to get the color on top.

    This is a very good recipe and pleasing to the eye.

    Thanks Maureen,
    I went to Krafts and found some tips for making the cheesecake.

    How to Prepare Cheesecake in 13x9-inch Pan

    Line 13x9-inch baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Prepare cheesecake as directed. Bake at 325°F for 45 min.

    How to Soften Cream Cheese
    Place completely unwrapped packages of cream cheese in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 30 to 45 sec. or until slightly softened.

    How to Test Cheesecake Doneness

    Check cheesecake doneness by gently shaking the pan. If the cheesecake is done, it will be set except for a small area in the center that will be soft and jiggly. Do not insert a knife into the center as this may cause the cheesecake to crack during cooling.

    SQUASH CASSEROLE

    This has been a favorite in our family for many years and one of my most requested recipes for all family gatherings.

    2 cups of cooked squash (now, I use 2 bags of frozen squash from the grocery store) this is an approximate measurement
    cook and drain, then mash

    ADD:
    1/2 stick of margarine added to hot squash
    1 egg beaten
    1 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. pepper
    1/2 c. chopped onion or more if you like
    1 large can of evaporated milk
    1/2 pack of saltines or Ritz crackers, crumbled
    Add all of the above to the mashed squash and place in casserole dish that has been sprayed with Pam

    1 cup of grated cheese sprinkled on top of squash mixture
    (I used mild cheddar cheese)

    Bake at 350 - 375 degrees uncovered for approx. 35-45 minutes.
    Do not bake too long. This is not good if gets to dry.
    Top should be slightly browned.
    I use an 8x8 casserole dish.
    Again if you make a larger portion, use a larger casserole dish

    Texas Style Squash Casserole
    Posted by: Cittie

    INGREDIENTS:

    2 pounds yellow summer squash or zucchini
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 can (4 ounces) chopped mild green chiles, with liquid
    2 small jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
    8 ounces shredded Monterey jack cheese
    1 cup sour cream
    1 1/2 cups tortilla chips, crushed
    PREPARATION:

    Slice squash 1/4-inch thick. Place squash and onions in a 3-quart casserole. Cover and microwave on HIGH 9-10 minutes, stirring once. Add chiles, cheese and sour cream; stir gently so squash will not be mashed.
    Spread half of crushed tortilla chips on bottom of a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Pour squash mixture in dish and sprinkle with remaining tortilla chips. Microwave on 70% (MEDIUM-HIGH) 10 minutes, or until heated through, rotating dish once. Serves 8. Recipe may be halved.


    Notes from Cittie:

    I bake it in the oven rather the them microwave...if you have any leftovers they are better yet~
    I do it @ 350º covered about 30 mins then uncover & bake till browned slightly & bubbly about another 15 mins.
    Can use a combination of summer squash and zucchini, makes it pretty too!

    Donut Muffins

    1 3/4 c. flour
    1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. nutmeg
    1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, divided use
    1/3 c. oil
    1 1/2 c. white sugar, divided use
    1 egg
    3/4 c. milk
    1/2 c. butter, melted

    In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon
    cinnamon. In another bowl, combine thoroughly oil, 3/4 cup sugar, egg
    and milk. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and stir only to
    combine. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Shake muffins out
    immediately. And while hot, dip in melted butter, then remainder of
    sugar and cinnamon.

    I got this recipe off the board but can't remember who posted it. I used 3/4 of a stick of butter for dipping (will cut down to 1/2 stick or 1/4 c) and 1/2 cup sugar and 1 t cinnamon (will cut down to about 1/3 c sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon). These are really good and go together quickly. I dipped only the tops of the muffins in the melted butter and cinnamon/sugar mix. It made 12 muffins.

    Note...I had a fresh nutmeg and grated that into the batter instead of purchased already ground nutmeg. Yummo!!

    This was absolutely fantastic and my only regret is that there are no leftovers! Thanks, so much Karategirl, for sharing this one. Everyone loved it!

    I did a couple things differently than the original recipe. I covered the skillet after turning the chicken for the last minutes of cooking on the stovetop, but uncovered it before baking. I also cooked the chicken in the marinade, so I did not brush more on it before baking. I also cooked each side for about 7 minutes instead of 3 or 4. I think cooking time just depends on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

    Honey Mustard Marinade

    1/2 cup Grey Poupon mustard
    1/2 cup Honey
    1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
    ___
    4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    1-tablespoon vegetable oil
    2 cups sliced mushrooms (10 to 12 mushrooms)
    2 tablespoons butter
    Salt
    Pepper
    Paprika
    8 slices cooked bacon
    1-cup Monterey jack Cheese
    1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
    2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

    Use an electric mixer to combine the Dijon mustard, honey, 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Whip mixture for about 30 seconds.

    Pour about two-thirds of marinade over the chicken breasts and marinate them, covered, in refrigerator for about 2 hours. Chill remaining marinade until later.

    After chicken has marinated, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and heat up an ovenproof frying pan large enough to hold all four breasts and 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. (If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, transfer chicken to a baking dish for baking.). Sear the chicken in the pan for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat, but keep the chicken in the pan.

    As chicken is cooking, in a small frying pan sauté the sliced mushrooms in the butter. continued.....

    Brush each seared chicken breast with a little of the reserved honey mustard marinade (not the portion that the chicken soaked in), being sure to save a little extra that you can serve on the side later with the dish.

    Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and dash of paprika.
    Stack two pieces of cooked bacon, crosswise, on each chicken breast.
    Spoon the sautéed mushrooms onto the bacon, being sure to coat each breast evenly.
    Spread 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese onto each breast followed by 1/4 cup of Cheddar.
    Bake the pan of prepared chicken breasts for 7 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and starting to bubble.
    Sprinkle each chicken breast with 1/2-teaspoon parsley before serving. Put extra honey mustard marinade into a small bowl to serve on the side.

    Serves 3-4

    Sour Cream Pound Cake

    3 c sugar
    2 sticks butter (1/2 pound)
    3 c flour
    ¼ t soda
    6 eggs, separated
    ½ pint sour cream (1 cup)
    1 oz (2 T) almond extract

    Cream together sugar and butter. Add egg yolks one at a time and beat until blended. Beat in flour and soda then add sour cream and flavoring. In separate bowl beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold gently into batter. Bake in a large greased and floured tube pan or 2 loaf pans at 325 degrees for 1 hr 15 min to 1 hr 30 min or until tests done. Cool on rack in pan for about 10 minutes then turn out onto rack to continue cooling.

    Yield: 12 servings

    We like to use this cake as a base for strawberry shortcake.

    Note: The almond flavoring is essential to this cake…it is not nearly as good using vanilla or lemon flavorings. It has a sort of firm crispy crust and a velvety like texture.

    PUMPKIN DUMP CAKE

    1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree
    3 eggs
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1/2 cup white sugar
    1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 (18.25 ounce) package spice cake mix
    1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
    1/2 cup melted butter

    Directions
    1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
    2 In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, white sugar and milk. Stir in cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt. Pour into pan. Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over the pumpkin filling. Sprinkle pecans over the cake mix. Drizzle melted butter over all.
    3 Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool

    I did a few things different... used pumpkin spice and a little extra cinnamon instead of the individual spices and a few more nuts. Next time, I'll put a little more butter in the pan to melt it and drizzle over the top. There was some cake mix that didn't soak up the butter.

    Cool Whip goes well with this or real whip cream if that's what you like!

    Enjoy!

    CHILI VERDE (from Salt Lake Tribune)

    1 lb. pork, cut in small cubes
    1 small onion, chopped
    1 TB flour
    2 TB oil
    4 to 6 green chiles, chopped
    1 clove garlic, chopped fine
    water just to cover
    1 small can tomatoes, chopped (15 1/2 oz.)
    1 TB salt (or to taste)

    Sprinkle pork with flour and brown, along with onions, in hot oil. Add chiles, garlic, water and salt. Simmer about 50 minutes. (I simmer with lid on to start and then take off so it can thicken) Serve with flour tortillas. (you can put any filling in tortilla - I like rice and beans with a large spoonful of sauce and some grated cheese, roll up and put more sauce on top with cheese)

    My notes: First off, I usually double the recipe. For nice and spicy, I use 1 7-oz. can Anaheim chiles and 1/2 can 4-oz. jalapenos for the DOUBLE BATCH. I use a variety of fresh hot peppers in the summer. For easier cutting, cut in big chunks and brown, then pulse in food processor till little bigger than ground. Continue browning and add onions. You can use pork chops too. I used pork sirloin roast last night.

    Curried Chicken Salad

    2 c cubed cooked chicken breast
    ¾ c chopped apple
    ¾ c dried cranberries
    ¾ c mayonnaise
    ½ c chopped walnuts
    ½ c chopped celery
    2 t lemon juice
    1 T chopped green onion
    1 t curry powder


    In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice and curry powder. Stir to blend well. Add remaining ingredients and mix to coat well.

    Can be served on croissants or in pita pockets or with crispy crackers.

    This salad is better if chilled overnight to allow the flavors to meld. I think it needs a touch of salt also.
