Vegetable Cake

Recipe By : Real Food for Real People
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts Low Fat
Potatoes Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup Potatoes -- shredded, unpeeled
1/2 cup Zucchini -- shredded
1/2 cup Carrots -- shredded
1/2 package Yellow Cake Mix -- any brand
1 Egg

Mix all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. This cake may be baked a couple of different ways:

1- Using 'waterless cookware', bake in a medium sized saucepan on top of your stove. Prepare pan with a thin coating of vegetable shortening, and pour batter into pan. Preheat burner to medium heat, then turn burner to low heat when placing pan on burner, and bake 10- 12 minutes, covered, or until cake is completely done.

2- Using a 1-1/2 quart covered casserole dish, prepare dish with a thin coating of vegetable shortening, and pour batter into dish & cover. Bake in a 350 degree F oven 20 - 25 minutes or until batter is completely done.

You may need to run a butter knife between the cake and the side of the pan when removing cake from pan/dish. Just place a dinner plate on top of the pan/dish and invert until cake falls onto the plate. This is a very moist cake and will not require frosting.

This is a great way to sneak vegetables into your family's diet! You will never know there are vegetables in the cake- they just give the cake moisture and a great amount of nutrition!

Variation: Pineapple Upside-down Cake. Before adding batter to pan or dish, place 2 Tbsp. melted margarine & 1/3 cup brown sugar in bottom. Arrange several slices of pineapple on top of the margarine/sugar mixture, then pour batter on top of the pineapple. Bake the same as directed above.

Fudge Bars

Recipe By : Real Food for Real People
Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies O.A.M.C.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Part One
1 cup Butter or Margarine -- softened
2 cups Brown Sugar -- packed
2 1/2 cups Flour
2 Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
3 cups Quick-Cooking Oats
Part Two
12 ounces Milk Chocolate Chips
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Nuts -- chopped (optional)

To make dough: In a large bowl, cream butter, eggs and brown sugar with an electric mixer- then add vanilla, salt and baking soda. Using a large wooden spoon, stir in flour and oats. Spread dough in a large greased baking sheet, reserving 1 1/2 cups of mixture for later. Set aside.

To make filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a medium saucepan, melt filling ingredients over low heat.

Pour filling over dough on baking sheet, and spread evenly. Now crumble remaining dough and sprinkle over filling as a topping. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 - 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into 24 squares and remove from pan.

To freeze: These cookies freeze wonderfully! To freeze them for eating later, divide cookies into groups of 4 - 6 squares, and wrap each group as a 'group square', using foil, and making certain to smooth our any air pockets. Next, flash freeze the wrapped squares by placing them onto baking sheets and placing them in your freezer until they have hardened- 1 - 2 hours. Once your squares have frozen, you can place the wrapped squares into large zip baggies, or sealed containers. Label, and freeze for 6 - 12 weeks. To eat your cookies later, keep cookies inside foil wrappers and thaw at room temperature for 2 hours.
