Message from the Editor


Dear Subscribers,

Please accept my apologies for the missing issues this week.  I have been battling the flu and was unable to get the ezine out to you Monday through Wednesday this week.  I am hopefully back on my feet now and things should be back to normal.  Have a great week!

Pint Size Cakes

Cakes baked right in a jar? Did you hear right? Yes, that's right, they are baked in the jar. Is this safe? Certainly, it can be! The jars you will need to use are wide-mouth pint size, thus the names for these recipes: 'Pint Sized Cakes'. Wonderful for gifts or storing ahead!  Get your free sample Pint Size Cakes recipes now by sending a blank email to:

Help!

My super finicky daughter has decided that she LOVES hot pockets (especially ham &
cheese). I can't stand the thought of her eating all the preservatives & junk that go into
the store bought ones. Does anyone have a good, healthy homemade "hot pocket"
recipe? Thanks in advance,

June


 

I would love some good pizza recipes! My kids love pizza and I want to be able to make
it different ways. Thanks in advance!

STRAWBERRY ICE BOX CAKE

1 yellow or white cake mix for 9x13 pan
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1-2 pt fresh strawberries, sliced
1 large Cool Whip

Bake cake as directed. When cool, use wooden spoon handle to poke holes all over
cake. Pour sweetened condensed milk over, layer strawberries, spread Cook Whip over
all and refrigerate overnight.

Lemon Angel Food Bars (1 g fat each bar)

1 box 1-step angel food cake mix
1 can lemon pie filling

Mix together, pour into 9x13 pan coated with cooking spray. Bake 400 for 15-20
minutes. Dust with powdered sugar.

Mini Cheesecakes

2 - 8 oz pkgs cream cheese, softened
½ c sugar
½ t vanilla
2 eggs
12 vanilla wafers
Pie filling for topping

Mix together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Mix in eggs. Place 1 vanilla wafer in
bottom of lined muffin cup. Divide cream cheese mixture evenly between muffin cups.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until centers are almost set. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool.

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

16-20 store-bought ice cream sandwiches
12-oz Cool Whip
Small can Hershey chocolate syrup
Maraschino cherries

Line 9x13 pan with 8 ice cream sandwiches. Spread half Cool Whip over top. Repeat.
Drizzle top with chocolate syrup to taste and either chop and sprinkle cherries over or
place one atop where you think each piece will be cut. Freeze at least 1 hour. Can also
half the recipe and make in loaf pan. Put parchment paper in pan first, then lift out and
have homemade (and better) viennetta! Drizzling with chocolate after removing from loaf
pan makes it prettier.

Apple Cake, 971 La Leche League Cookbook, 4th Printing

4 cups diced apples, unpeeled
2 cups white sugar
1 cup chopped nuts (optional-I don't use)
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs, well beaten
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt

Dice apples, not too fine. Pour sugar over and stir. Add oil, eggs and nuts. Mix flour,
baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients being
sure to mix in all dry ingredients. Bake at 350 in a lightly greased 9x9x2 inch pan for 1
hour or until cake begins to pull away from sides of pan.

Rice Krispies Bars

¼ c butter or margarine (or 3 T for low fat version)
1 10-oz pkg regular marshmallows (about 40) or 4 cups mini marshmallows
6 c Rice Krispies
Butter or cooking spray

low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Mix
in Rice Krispies and stir until well coated. Spread mixture in pan. Cut into squares when
cool.
TIP: Put butter, cooking spray or waxed paper on hands or spoon to prevent sticking to
mixture while spreading in pan.

You don't say what kind of desserts you are looking for, so I am including a variety. I have
tons of dessert and cookie recipes. Most cake, cookie, pie recipes, etc. can be made
and the nuts omitted and it doesn't make any difference, unless it is something like
pecan pie where the nuts are an integral part of the recipe.

Surprise Carrot Cake

One 8 ounce package of Philadelphia Brand cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup of sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 cups of flour
1 3/4 cup of sugar
2 teaspoons of baking soda
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of oil
3 eggs, beaten
3 cups of shredded carrots

Combine the cream cheese, sugar and egg, mixing until well blended. Set aside.
Combine dry ingredients. Add combined oil and eggs, mixing just until moistened.
Fold in carrots. Reserve 2 cups of batter; pour remaining batter into greased and floured
9 inch Bundt pan. Pour cream cheese mixture over batter; carefully spoon reserved batter
over cream cheese mixture, spreading to cover. Bake at 350ºF. for 55 minutes or until
wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan. Cool
thoroughly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serves 12.

Pear Sorbet

2 cans of pears in heavy syrup (or 1 in heavy syrup and 1 in juice)
1 tsp. almond extract
3 Tbsp. crystallized ginger
Fresh mint sprigs

Place cans of fruit in the freezer overnight or for at least 8 hours. When ready to
assemble, remove cans from the freezer and place in hot water for
1 - 2 minutes. Open cans, place fruit in the food processor and add almond extract and
ginger and process until smooth. Place in individual bowls and garnish with mint sprigs.

The Skinny: If you use pears in light syrup or their own juices it will change the taste and
texture of this recipe.

This is for Laurie. This is a very filling salad, and is definitely a meal in itself. You can
add as much as you like per person, just increase the amounts of salad ingredients and
make extra dressing if you have big eaters. Also, it's a very pretty salad for presentation.
It's very good.
