Nutritious Meals for Busy School Nights</h1>

(Family Features) When school is back in session, the real test for parents is not in the classroom, but in the kitchen. Between breakfast, lunch and dinner - not to mention snacks - meal planning seems endless and daunting.<br />
<br />
With convenient options like canned ingredients on-hand, parents can have the makings of a wholesome homemade meal right at their fingertips.<br />
<br />
Canned foods not only help cut down on prep time in the kitchen, but also deliver nutritional benefits. In fact, kids and adults who use six or more canned foods per week are more likely to have diets higher in 17 essential nutrients, according to a study published in "Nutrients." Plus, cans provide year-round access to seasonal fruits and vegetables, and keep food fresh and flavorful without the need for preservatives and additives.<br />
<br />
From on-the-go breakfasts like Vegetable Frittata Minis to hearty dinners like this Beef and Vegetable Soup and everything in-between, a well-stocked pantry - or your "cantry" - full of canned proteins, fruits, vegetables and soups can help busy parents get through the week with creative meals they can feel good about serving their families.<br />

Changing or adding this or that. Most times they turn out great, while other times not so good. But this time I think I have a winner. This is a very moist and somewhat dense cake, made with fresh juicy <a href="http://driscolls.com/" target="_blank">Driscoll</a>'s strawberries all folded up into rich layers of a sweet, cream cheese and white chocolate filling. Top it off with a creamy chocolate ganache and your holiday meal is complete.</b><br />
<b>I've also made this cake using fresh <a href="http://driscolls.com/" target="_blank">Driscoll</a>'s raspberries, which is the perfect ending for your family Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday meal. </b><br />

1 cup fresh Driscoll strawberries, sliced for decorating<br />
2/3 cup shredded coconut<br />
<br />
<i>Ganache</i><br />
1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips-melted<br />
1 cup heavy cream<br />
<br />
<i>Frosting</i><br />
1 12 oz tub Cool Whip, thawed<br />
<br />
<b>Directions</b><br />
<b>Cake</b><br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare three 9" cake pans with cooking spray and flour and set aside.<br />
Empty cake mix in large mixing bowl. Add baking powder and stir together. Open and stir coconut milk until smooth. Pour 3/4 of the can into cake mix and blend at medium speed with mixer for about 3 minutes or until smooth and completely mixed. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Mix in vanilla and coconut extracts.<br />
Pour equal parts into each of the three 9" cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until golden brown and top springs back when touched.<br />
Set cake pans on wire racks to cool. Remove one cake layer from pan and place flat side down on cake plate. Using a knife, trim cake layer of any mound so that layer is flat on top. Remove remaining two cake layers from pans and level as well. (Be sure to eat the trimmings!)<br />
<b>Prepare strawberries</b><br />
Clean and chop enough fresh <a href="http://www.driscolls.com/" target="_blank">Driscoll</a>'s strawberries to make 2 cups. Clean and slice a separate cup of fresh Driscoll strawberries to decorate top of cake. Set aside.<br />
<b>Prepare ganache</b><br />

<b>Prepare filling</b><br />
Break up white chocolate into small pieces in microwavable bowl. Microwave at 30 second intervals until all chocolate is melted and smooth. Set aside, stirring periodically until cooled.<br />
Blend cream cheese and extracts on med-high speed until fluffy. Pour in melted white chocolate and mix. Slowly add heavy cream and powdered sugar mixing at med-high speed. Continue to mix until filling thickens. Stir in chopped strawberries and optional 2/3 cup shredded coconut with large spoon or spatula. Place in refrigerator for about 15 minutes.<br />
Remove from refrigerator and pour about half of filling onto center of prepared cake layer, spreading to half inch from edges. Place second cake layer, flat side down on filling and top with remaining filling. Place the last cake layer, flat side down on top. Frost entire cake with Cool Whip and refrigerate for 15 minutes.<br />
Remove from refrigerator and pour ganache on top of cake directly in center, allowing to flow down sides. Decorate with fresh sliced strawberries and refrigerate at least one hour before serving.<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Couple little things I did differently. I added the one cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, but I also added an additional cup of <a href="http://www.kraft.com/" target="_blank">Kraft</a> Mexican blend cheese. I also served it with a dollop of sour cream on top. Turned out great. It's a very quick and easy meal to get you and your little goblins out the door this Halloween.<br />
This heats up well for leftovers too!<br />
Thanks Pillsbury......<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One recipe that really caught
my eye was the Strawberry Shortcake Skillet Cobbler. I’ve had many varieties of
shortcake, but never one that incorporated corn meal into the batter. My
interest was peaked, and what better day to give it a try than National
Strawberry Shortcake Day!
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was won over with this
recipe. I made a slight change by adding two pints of Driscoll’s fresh red
raspberries (my love of raspberries!) and the next time I may even add a pint
of fresh blueberries. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a wonderful summer
time recipe. It’s not too sweet and the corn meal shortcake goes well with the
juiciness of the berries. Top it off with a dollop of sweet whipped cream and
you’ll be back for seconds.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Summer time. Warm weather, ice cream, dreamy desserts and Mackinac Island. Hudsonville Ice Cream, Michigan’s largest manufacturers of branded ice cream offers a full line of ice cream flavors. From their rich and creamy Vanilla and Chocolate Cravings flavors to their specialty and Limited Time only line.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">They even have a specialty flavor for the sports fan - filled will chocolate covered baseball pretzels and smooth gooey fudge - Tiger Traxx made me a fan! Or how about taking a vacation without leaving the house with Grand Traverse Bay Cherry Fudge. A creamy amaretto ice cream, loaded with chunks of cherries and fudge.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">A new addition to their specialty line this summer is Grand Hotel Pecan Ball.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Partnering with the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island for the Grand Opening of Sadie’s Ice Cream Parlor, Hudsonville has replicated the deliciousness of the hotel’s famous pecan ball dessert. Starting with their very own rich Vanilla ice cream and adding genuine Grand Hotel fudge and pecan pieces - this specialty ice cream is served in the Grand Hotel’s dining room and five restaurants located on Mackinac Island - and of course – Sadie’s Ice Cream Parlor.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">My favorite has to be the Pure Michigan Double Berry Pie. Hudsonville's original creamy Vanilla loaded with swirls of blueberries and strawberries and filled with real pieces of pie crust.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">And because it is my favorite, I turned it into a dessert that's perfect for a summer treat or that special birthday celebration.</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-size: 16pt;">Ingredients</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">1 carton Hudsonville Double Berry Pie ice cream</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">1 box strawberry flavored cake mix</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">1 container Cool Whip frosting</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">1 pint fresh Driscoll's raspberries</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">2 eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">1/2 cup water</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">1/3 cup oil</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><span style="color: red;">Directions</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Prepare two or three 9 inch round cake pans by spraying bottom and sides with cooking spray.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 21px;">In medium size bowl, prepare cake mix according to directions on box. Bake and completely cool cake layers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">While cake layers are cooling, empty carton of Double Berry Pie Ice Cream into large bowl and set aside to soften (do not let the ice cream melt).</span><br />

I could hardly wait to try out all my favorite smoothies. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

Fruit. And for me - fruit is a must to every great smoothie. Fresh, red ripe, sweet strawberries are the start of all my favorites. But whether I’m using just strawberries or a variety of berries, one name that is on almost all the berries in my refrigerator is <a href="http://www.driscolls.com/" target="_blank">Driscoll’s</a>. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

But if you want to get your family on board with getting more fruits and vegetables into their day - you may want to rethink the smoothie.</span></div>

Three fourths of those say they should be making healthier snack choices. People who snack between the hours of 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. reach for fruit, according to the survey. </span></div>

Whether you reach for a hand full of fresh fruit for that afternoon pick-me-up or get your healthy snack in a creamy, fresh and fruity smoothie - be sure to hit the grocery aisle and pick up a variety of fresh wholesome Driscoll berries. </span><br />

If using medium or small berries only cut into halves. Rinse and drain the raspberries and blueberries. Pat dry and place berries (in separate containers) into freezer. Berries should be completely froze, a couple hours should be fine. To save time, berries can be prepared the day before and frozen for future use. You should remove the berries from the freezer about a half hour before using so that the berries are not sticking together. Use can use a knife to gently separate large clumps.</span><br />

Add half of each container of berries and blend until you have small chunks. Add remaining Vanilla Almond milk and berries and blend until completely smooth. During the final blending process, you may want to stop about halfway and using a spatula, push down any large chunks of berries.</span></div>

The method you choose depends on your preference and comfort level, but you'll end up with the same result.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Stovetop</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To melt chocolate on the stovetop, place chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water. If you do not have a double boiler, place a glass or metal bowl of chocolate over a pot of barely simmering water. The gentle steam from the hot water will slowly melt the chocolate while you stir constantly to help the chocolate melt evenly. Don't let any water from the pot get into the chocolate as the water will cause it to clump and "seize", not melting properly.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Microwave</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

The total time will depend on how much chocolate you are melting but should only be a couple minutes.</span></div>

Place sprinkles in a shallow bowl or small plate right beside the baking sheet.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hold berries by their stem or calyx (green leaves) and dip in bowl of melted chocolate, swirling until coated as much as you like. Gently shake off excess chocolate. Immediately dip chocolate covered berry in sprinkles. Place berry on prepared baking sheet to set. Repeat with remaining berries.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Place baking sheet of chocolate-covered berries in refrigerator to set for about 15 to 30 minutes. If leav</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">ing berries in refrigerator longer than 1 hour, condensation may occur.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Chocolate-covered berries are best served the day they are made. Chocolate will hold up at room temperature for about 2 hours, depending on the temperature where they are being served. If you need to store overnight, do so in the refrigerator and let berries sit at room temperature about 30 minutes before serving.</span><br />

I have such fond memories of my mother in our warm kitchen on a cold day making this pie for us. Because of the simple ingredients that can be found on hand in most kitchens, and it's simple preparation, the wait was never long. For such a simple pie - it's certainly not simple on taste. It has a sweet, buttery rich flavor with a hint of vanilla and the consistency of a well made custard pie.<br />
My mom always made her own pie crust. She could throw a pie crust together quicker than I can pull out my Pillsbury ready crust. So keeping things simple and quick, I used a prepared pie crust. But feel free to roll out your own pie crust and make it even more special.<br />
I look forward to Thanksgiving dinner as my family (never less than 35 people) all gather together in one spot and bake, cook and share their favorite dishes. I just know my sister will be making this sweet pie, at the request of my even sweeter, 95-year-old mother. Enjoy!<br />
<b>Chess Pie</b><br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
1/2 cup butter<br />
2 cups sugar<br />
1 Tbl. flour<br />
1/2 cup milk<br />

</tbody></table>
How would you like a soup that is all natural and gluten-free, with an ingredient that offers no calories, no net carbs, no soy and no preservatives?<br />
Self-taught Chef Terri Rogers, founder of the NoOodle ™ Company has created a variety of recipes centered on this ingredient.<br />
I recently had the opportunity to try a couple soups made with the NoOodle noodle. I have to say, I was excited to give them a try. After reading what the key ingredient in NoOodle soups has to offer - including health benefits - I was curious about the taste.<br />
I tried two different soups from the <a href="http://www.nooodle.com/" target="_blank">NoOodle™ Company</a>, Chicken Noodle and Tomato Risotto. They each came packaged in 16.9 oz. boxes. A full list of the all-natural ingredients includes the key ingredient, the Yam Noodle. The yam-based noodle is what Chef Terri Rogers and her company is all about. Consumed in Japan for centuries, where Rogers first discovered it and brought it to America, led to the creation of her company.<br />

The NoOodle consists of a dietary fiber called glucomannan. Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber derived from the root of an Asian yam plant. It is designed to slow digestion and trap cholesterol and fat from being absorbed by the body.<br />
First I tried the Chicken Noodle. Even though the soup can be heated in the microwave, I decided to heat it on the stove top so that I could see the ingredients and smell the aroma as it heated.<br />
Following the directions - I went from the box to the bowl in less than 5 minutes and sit down to a delightful bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup.<br />
The noodles were not at all like I thought. After reading about the NoOodle, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get past the texture. I had an image of a slick, mushy noodle, which couldn't have been further from it. The texture of the noodle was firm and gentle and not at all mushy. The soup is not shy on noodles, it's packed with plenty of noodles in a very flavorful chicken broth, diced carrots, celery and generous chunks of chicken. It was very enjoyable.<br />

</tbody></table>
The Tomato Risotto Soup was equally flavorful. The noodle was a lot lighter than that in the chicken noodle soup. It didn't have a lot of texture to it but went great with the tomato based broth. The soup also has diced tomatoes, pieces of spinach and basil that give it a very flamboyant flavor.<br />
Whether your diabetic, on a gluten-free diet, watching your calories and carbs or just prefer to eat healthy - you'll enjoy the NoOodles Soup.<br />

It all starts with the icing - at least for this cake. I
wanted a light, creamy, and sweet icing that wasn't too sweet. After
creating the perfect icing, I decided that a pudding pound cake would be
the perfect cake to wear this icing.<br />
This cake
turned out to be a super moist, rather dense, but light in flavor pound
cake. It is the perfect pairing for the icing.<br />I hope you enjoy it.<br />

You probably love it but hardly ever make it. Or maybe you've never baked a warm, sweet aromatic pecan pie.<br />
<br />
This is one of the easiest pies to make. Just mix all the ingredients together, pour in a prepared pie shell and bake. It really is that easy.<br />
<br />
My family has been making this pecan pie forever - my mother is almost 95 and she's been making it since she was young.<br />
<br />
We all love it and you'll love it more when you find out just how easy it is to prepare.<br />
Here you go - get ready for pure sweet satisfaction.<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">Easy Pecan Pie</span></b><br />
Ingredients<br />
1 frozen deep dish pie crust (room temperature)<br />
3 large eggs <br />
1 1/2 cups pecan pieces<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
1 cup Karo corn syrup<br />
1/2 tsp. salt<br />
1/4 cup butter (melted but not hot)<br />
2 tsp. McCormick pure vanilla extract<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together in medium mixing bowl. Pour into prepared pie shell and bake for 1 hour on center rack.<br />

Kids will grumble and parents will silently cheer as the big day quickly approaches.<br />
It's the first day of school. Kids and their parents are beginning the yearly ritual of preparing for the fast approaching first day of school.<br />
If you're out and about doing any shopping at this time, you can easily spot the school shoppers. Mom's will be calmly (or not) explaining to their children why they can't have the clothes they've picked out. The younger kids will sulk and the teenagers may be having what looks like mini-meltdowns. And then, after a little compromising the task of clothes shopping will be behind them and they will move on to the easier task of picking up the school supplies.<br />
For the most part, parents allow their kids to pick out their own back packs and lunch bags. Supplies such as paper, pencils, crayons, etc. is pretty standard and usually determined by the teacher. So this part of the back-to-school preparation should be just routine and stress free.<br />
Now that you've clothed them and filled their back packs with school supplies, it's time to plan the meals and snacks.<br />

What and when you feed your family will probably change when the kids make their way back to school. More and more you hear that breakfast is the most important meal of the day - and especially for kids. Studies show that kids who skip breakfast have a higher rate of tardiness and absenteeism in school. Everyone, and especially kids, need a nutritious breakfast to give them that much needed brain power to begin the day.<br />
Most parents are looking for quick, yet nutritional snacks and lunch items when packing their child's lunch And there's nothing wrong with taking advantage of all the pre-packaged meals and snacks being offered at your local grocery stores and markets. A lot of these items are both nutritional and easy on the wallet.<br />

Natural Creamy Peanut Butter</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Directions:</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Line a sheet pan with wax or parchment paper. Place all
fruit in a single layer. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Place sheet pan in the freezer for 2-4 hours. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Microwave chocolate and peanut butter for 1 minute and 30
seconds. Stir; continue microwaving in 30 second intervals, stirring in between
until fully melted and smooth. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Using your hands or a toothpick, dip the fruit halfway
into the chocolate mixture and place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Place
into freezer for 10 minutes or until ready to serve.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
TIP: Kids can help make the dip by combining the
chocolate and peanut butter and pushing the microwave buttons!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
And here at Grandma's house, you can't go wrong if you always have a bowl of fresh fruit on the table, no matter what you're serving up for breakfast.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Try this for a nutritional breakfast before school, it's always a favorite with my grandkids. Serve as finger food.</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
This is quick, easy and your kids will eagerly devour this before school.</div>

A cream cheese blend of goodness with a saucy, fruit blend is the perfect pair with these golden cream filled sponge cake rolls.<br />
This dessert is light but filled with pure sweetness. I recently prepared it for a family dinner and it was nothing but raves from the table. With fresh fruit at its peak, it's a perfect dessert for the season.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtgqbdUQVbtp3kn0X4TvQVJ9GKFL8BDfVtVzyTGjiOqxQGFQv2M5YCsbPUAc2nmd-i2ssOymwAf73AMBq1VF86UOui4LDjZe-rxLPTplYKKuEMwvi7vbYHHK3Mug_aXMZJpXwRjNPaXmxG/s1600/1416579f03fe9815350f6a706700b5df.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtgqbdUQVbtp3kn0X4TvQVJ9GKFL8BDfVtVzyTGjiOqxQGFQv2M5YCsbPUAc2nmd-i2ssOymwAf73AMBq1VF86UOui4LDjZe-rxLPTplYKKuEMwvi7vbYHHK3Mug_aXMZJpXwRjNPaXmxG/s320/1416579f03fe9815350f6a706700b5df.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="background-color: white;">Twinkies Sweet Cream and Fruit Dessert</span></span></b></span><br />
1 box Hostess Twinkies<br />
2 8-oz pkg <a href="http://www.kraftfoodservice.com/productsandbrands/dairy/philadelphia/default.aspx">Philadelphia Cream Cheese</a> (softened)<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"></span><br />
1/2 cup confectioner sugar<br />
1 12-oz tub Cool Whip (completely thawed)<br />
2 individual cups of <a href="http://www.dannon.com/">Dannon</a> Greek Vanilla yogurt<br />
1/4 cup heavy cream <br />
2 tsp. vanilla<br />
1 pint blueberries<br />
2 1/2 cups dices fresh strawberries<br />
1 stick butter<br />
1/4 cup flour<br />
1/4 cup sugar <br />
<b>Directions</b><br />
Blend softened cream cheese and confectioner sugar with mixer until smooth. Add heavy cream and yogurt and continue to mix until well blended. Fold in Cool Whip and set aside.<br />
In medium sauce pan over low heat, melt butter. Add flour and mix until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, blueberries and strawberries. Cook over low heat until fruit creates a sauce.Strawberries will be very soft but blueberries should not be mushy. <br />
Using trifle bowl or similar, line bottom of bowl with 3 Twinkies cut length-wise. Spread 1/3 of cream cheese mixture over Twinkies. Pour 1/3 of fruit mixture over cream cheese. Continue this process until you have three layers, ending with fruit mixture on top. <br />
Now, you've probably noticed that you have one extra Twinkie in the box.You could treat yourself, or you could share with that little one or maybe the big one that's been hovering over your shoulder in the kitchen. Enjoy!<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Peanut Butter Cupcakes</b></span><br />
Cake ingredients<br />
Makes 18-24 cupcakes<br />
1 Yellow cake mix<br />
1 cup water<br />
1/2 cup evaporated milk<br />
1/2 cup peanut butter<br />
2 eggs<br />
Frosting ingredients<br />
6 oz. chocolate chips<br />
1/3 cup evaporated milk<br />
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar<br />
Cake directions<br />
Mix
together the cake mix, water, evaporated milk, peanut butter and eggs.
Mix well and pour into cupcake paper lined cupcake pans. Bake according
to directions on cake box. When done, remove from pans and cool
completely.<br />
Frosting directions<br />
Heat together chocolate
chips and evaporated milk. When chips are melted, stir in the powdered
sugar. Work fast as the frosting stiffens quickly. If you melt and mix
in a double boiler, it stays soft longer and you can actually dip the
tops of the cupcakes in the frosting.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>City Chicken</b></span><br />
Ingredients<br />
3 lbs. pork roast (use a pork butt roast or a thick pork steak will also work)<br />
3 lbs. veal roast or round steak<br />
1 or 2 cloves of garlic<br />
Flour<br />
1 Egg<br />
Cracker crumbs<br />
Shortening<br />
Salt and pepper<br />
Wooden skewers<br />
Directions<br />
Cut
meat into cubes and alternate, pork/beef, onto skewers. Salt and pepper
meat and place in one layer in a baking dish. Chop garlic very fine and
sprinkle over meat. Cover well with foil and refrigerate anywhere from
one hour to overnight.<br />
Next, roll each skewer of meat in flour to
which salt and pepper has been added. Dip in an egg and water mixture of
one beaten egg with about 1 1/2 Tbsp. of water. Roll in cracker crumbs
and fry in shortening, turning frequently, until light brown.<br />
Transfer
to a baking sheet, and bake covered with foil for half an hour at 350
degrees. Uncover and continue to bake for another half hour, checking

Jacqueline
Castine was featured in The Oakland Press many years ago with this
recipe. She has this to say about her recipe: "While I was leading a
senior citizen group in a game of mental health bingo, I overheard a
woman tell her table mates about this dessert. I memorized it because I
didn't have anything to write on at the moment. It has been featured
on the front page food section of the Oakland Press and Neil Rubin's
column on Easy Super Bowl recipes for guys to make at home.<br />
<strong>Sander's Show Stopper Ice Cream Dessert</strong><br />
What you need<br />
A spring form pan<br />
A plain pound cake<br />
1/2 gallon of butter pecan ice cream<br />
1 small jar of Sander's milk chocolate fudge topping<br />
4 chocolate toffee candy bars (Heath or Skor) <br />
Directions <br />
Crumble
half of pound cake into bottom of pan and cover with half of the ice
cream. Break up candy bars with a hammer and sprinkle half on top of
the ice cream. Warm topping in microwave and drizzle half of fudge over
layer in a lattice effect. Repeat layering ingredients. <br />
Cover with foil or saran wrap and keep in freezer until ready to serve. Release spring form rim. <br />
Serve this magnificent ice cream convection from the pan bottom. <br />
Take your bows!<br />
Note: If you have a large spring form pan, you can double the ingredients and serve 12-14.<br />
Take your bows, Jacqueline. This sounds fantastic!<br />
Sharon
Giannangeli of Rochester Hills says this is a recipe that gets great
accolades whenever she makes it. She often adds chocolate chips to the
batter and eliminates the frosting. It still turns out moist and great!<br />

clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Using potholders, place serving
dish inverted on top of cake and flip over. Cool before frosting (I
don't frost as it is very moist but that is your choice. You can also
sprinkle with powdered sugar)<br />
Cream Cheese Frosting<br />

Barbara
Conti submitted her recipe for homemade lemon curd. She says, this curd
is so good you can spread it over your body (So, she's been told!)<br />
<strong>Lemon Curd</strong><br />
Ingredients<br />
1/2 cup unsalted butter<br />
1 cup white sugar<br />
3 eggs<br />
Grated rind and juice of 2 fresh lemons<br />
Directions<br />
Melt
butter in top part of a double sauce pan. Place over low heat and
slowly add sugar, stirring until well blended. Gradually pour beaten
eggs in the butter and sugar mixture. Continue stirring until mixture is
light and creamy. Do not allow it to get very hot. Grate peel from
lemons and add to the mixture. Squeeze the juice from the lemons and
strain. Slowly add lemon juice while continuing to stir.<br />
Place the
pan over the lower part of the double saucepan, containing the boiling
water. Over low heat, stir until the curd forms a film on the back of a
spoon. Pour into clean, screw-top jars. About (3) 1/2 pint jars.<br />
