Linda Robbins
8 oz softened cream cheese Mix together softened cream cheese and all other ingredients EXCEPT the pecans. Once you have it mixed thoroughly, form into a ball and refrigerate overnight. Actually you can keep this mixture for a couple days in the fridge. One half hour before serving roll in chopped pecans. At Christmas time I like to press the mixture into a Christmas tree shaped cookie cutter and refrigerate overnight. Then the next day before serving, I gently press the pecans into the tree shape - very festive!

2 egg whites In large bowl, beat egg whites and water with whisk until frothy, but not stiff. Add pecans and mix until all pecans are coated. Mix together sugar and cinnamon. Pour mixture over nuts and mix together (I use a rubber spatula). Pour onto greased cookie sheet. Bake in 225 degree oven for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes. You can tell when they are done because nuts will not be wet from egg whites anymore. Enjoy! Wonderful for small bags for friends around the holidays or in a pretty gift dish wrapped.
Sherilyn Clark
8-10 Fresh Roma tomatoes, coarsely chopped Pour olive oil into a large saucepan, turn heat on high. Add garlic and onion, let them get cooked until they are translucent, then add tomatoes and basil. Turn heat to low, simmer until tomatoes are tender, about stewed tomato consistency. Add a pinch of coarse sea salt, then toss with a pound of angel hair pasta. Top with freshly grated pecorino-romano cheese, and serve immediately. People will treat you like a queen if you make this for them, somehow they will think that you slaved for hours to make it. Act faint and wilt a little, you will not have to do the dishes for a while!
Anna Cuva BREADS
1 1/2 cups of self rising flour
That is all the ingredients - mix up (fork or hands) put on floured board and roll out until 1/2" Happy eating.
Betty Allen Ingredients:
6 cups all purpose flour If you have a mixer please use or knead by hand if you want to get your hands messy.
1. Place flour, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed. Add shortening or oil and cut into four mixture. Continue to do this until the tortilla dough is as large as you want it. Some prefer larger thinner tortillas and some a little thicker. Once this is done place on heated pancake pan. Cook for about 30 second on the first side, while you are waiting for the first side to cook you can start rolling out the next disk. Then using your fingers or a spatula turn over to the other side for about 15 to 20 seconds. Continue this process until all dough disks are done. If you don't have an objection to butter, place some on a tortilla and enjoy. This is the way my kids eat them when they are hot off the pan. Hope you enjoy,
Monica Durkop
Parmesan Breadstick Broomsticks
Two 1 pound pieces frozen pizza dough, thawed. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. On a lightly floured countertop roll each piece of dough into a 6 by 10 inch rectangle. With a floured chef's knife, cut each rectangle into six 10 inch strips. Make 3 inch lengthwise cuts at one end of each strip, 1/4 inch apart to form broom straws. Twist and pull uncut portion of strips to form a broom handle (each breadstick will be about 15 inches long). Gently transfer broomsticks to prepared baking sheet, place at least 2 inches apart. Separate cut ends.
Brush broomsticks with milk and sprinkle with Parmesan.

1 head of cauliflower
Chop up lettuce to bite size pieces. Cut the cauliflower sprouts into manageable pieces. Cut the onions (do not dice) and mix these 3 ingredients together. Set aside. Fry the bacon (crispy) and save the grease. Let the bacon cool. Put the miracle whip in lettuce mixture. Mix well. Add bacon grease to that and mix well again. Then crumble the bacon and add to the salad. Let set in the fridge for about an hour and then enjoy.
Lenette Hendrix This is one of my favorite recipes. I used to work at a restaurant where they made this soup, but the recipe was a secret. I experimented at home until it tasted as I remembered. My grandparents loved when I made this soup for them. This is great served with hot crusty bread or rolls. (serves 2)
2 cans of low sodium chicken broth In a medium saucepan (covered), bring broth, orzo and lemon zest to a simmer. Cook until pasta is tender. While broth is heating, crack two eggs in a heat safe cup and beat with a fork. Add the lemon juice to eggs and beat well. Once the pasta is cooked, *slowly* pour approximately one cup of broth into the egg and lemon juice mixture. YOU MUST whisk or stir the eggs with a fork as you pour the hot broth into the egg mixture. This process tempers the eggs so they do not get lumpy when you mix it with the broth. Now, reduce the hot broth on the stove to a simmer. *Slowly* pour the egg, broth and lemon mixture into the pot with the broth and stir constantly. The soup will start to thicken slightly as it warms through. Dont let it boil. Once it is hot, add salt and pepper until you like the flavor and serve. If you need to reheat it, it is best to put it on a double boiler or steam it. Enjoy!
Kristina Watson Ingredient: Lettuce Alone
Frances Fanton
1 lg can kidney beans (drain) Mix all ingredients together and place in fridge. This is good anytime.
Emma Metz Ingredients:
3 Large Potatoes Skin the potatoes. Dice/slice and plop them in a pot of water (add a pinch of salt if you wish) and boil them until they are soft. (To determine if they are done, stab the bigger potato with a fork - if it presses in w/o resistance than they should all be done!) In a separate pot, hard-boil 3 - 5 large chicken eggs. Once done, scoop them out and place the eggs in a microwave safe bowl (because the eggs are so HOT!) in the freezer for 10 minutes for a rapid cool down. Once they are handle able, peel the shells off and chop them up into a large mixing bowl. Drain the boiled potatoes. Add to the sliced or chopped eggs.
Add the Tablespoons of Mayo CAREFULLY - remember that you can always add more, but there's no way of getting it out if you put too much in! Add it to taste - you want the mix to be slightly creamy but not be overpowering with the taste of Mayo. The ingredients will all still be hot but are surprisingly good at this temperature! Our family has found they prefer it warm to cold now, but for potlucks it is best to chill it, cover the Tupperware with tinfoil and cold packs to keep it fresh for several hours at a serving table. Serve with chilled Lemonade (or Lemonade punch) for a fantastic combo!!!
Nicole Doman

Grace Porter
1 can diced tomatoes You can dump all this into a pot and serve almost as soon as it’s hot. It’s great on a cold night if you’re late getting home from work, and a big hit when you’re camping and the weather turns. Our family goes really light on the seasonings since my husband has Crohn’s Disease, but you can add some extra chili spice if you wish. You can top with soup crackers, shredded cheese and/or sour cream.
Karen Alonzi DESSERTS
48 oz cream cheese HOW TO MAKE: In a blender, add 20 oz cream cheese, 4 eggs, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and 2 teaspoons of flour. Blend and then pour into a cheesecake pan (will do this 2 1/2 times - the last time only add 10 oz cream cheese, 2 eggs, 1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tsp of flour). Fill each pan a little more than half-way and place in oven at 350F. Baking takes about 1 hour or until the cheesecake gains a golden color. To check if it is ready, use the toothpick test. The cheesecake could be eaten warm but I recommend leaving enough time to cool and the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Mary Preston
1 Graham Cracker Pie Crust Thaw the Cool Whip - Melt the candy bars -(LOL I melted the plastic container on my first try. I was using the microwave and the chocolate got hotter and hotter until I smelled this burning smell and there was a hole in the bottom of the measuring cup I was using. So - a word of advice - Use a GLASS container and go slowly - low power - small time increments - stir often in between adding more time.) Fold melted chocolate into the cool whip and pour into the pie crust. This can even have a slight marbled effect, so quickly blending is fine. Refrigerate to cool. Absolutely deeelicious! Promise that any and all chocolate lovers will enjoy this one.

Bonnie Woodman COOKIES Easy Diabetic Holiday Shortbread Cookies Makes 28 cookies
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1. Beat butter, xylitol and salt in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Shape dough into 14-inch-long log. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour. NOTE: Xylitol has a glycemic index of seven and is 100% natural, making it perfect for those looking out for their blood sugar. Sprouted grain flour digests like a vegetable, making it much easier to digest, and has a glycemic index of 15, also perfect for those concerned about their blood sugar.

Abundant Joy and Blessings, Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Delight
4-6 frozen skinless boneless chicken breasts If you are going light on carbs you can add canned mushrooms otherwise you can pour over rice, pasta, egg noodles etc. Put frozen chicken breasts in crockpot, mix other ingredients in a bowl and pour over frozen chicken and cook on low for 6-8 hours. I usually break up chicken into smaller pieces before serving - it is great as a soup or over rice, noodles etc. If you like more onion flavor you can add another 1/4 to 1/2 packet of onion soup mix to ingredients - this will add salt so be careful not to over do, one packet adds enough flavor for my family. You can improvise by adding mushrooms or onions as well. You can use any "cream of" soup if mushrooms aren't your thing, use cream of broccoli and add frozen broccoli cuts 30 mins before eating. Sometimes if we're going to eat as soup I lightly crush some Durkee's french fried onions on top for added flavor and texture. Enjoy!
Dawn Finnerty Crockpot Chicken with Black Beans

Cook potatoes in microwave for 10 min, let set for 2 minutes then mash. Mix all together and put into baking dish that has at least 2" room at top. Put into oven at 250 degrees.. if you need to hold for dinner or 350 if you want to rush. Hint.... the longer it bakes in the oven the creamier it becomes.... it is delicious and if you are making for a party you have time to rest before the meal.. Optional: You may also add sautéed mushrooms to the potatoes before baking.
Sharon Speck
1 LB hamburger meat Directions: Cook meat until done. Drain any grease. Place rehydrated minced onions in and stir cook for 3 minutes. Put in Ketchup until all meat is covered. Put in both sauces and mix well. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Note: Add more of both sauces based on flavor preference.
Rayna Sprouse Ingredients (exactly 5):
Pork Loin ~ for the measurements below, at least 1 1/2 pounds Preparation (30 min to 4 hours depending on your taste): Mix all dry and wet ingredients together, stirring until blended. Then place the pork inside a zip lock bag and add the mixture. Depending on how much you like the flavor, you can either let this marinate for 30 min. or up to 4 hours. I have done both, and the taste is excellent either way. I have also made the mix up, and placed the bagged meat inside the freezer. This way I have something prepared ahead of time, only requiring a defrost. Preheat your oven to 400. The meat takes 40 min per pound and a half to cook. If you want to save washing, wrap the marinated meat in foil. Or, use the mixture as a baste. When done, be sure to either check the meat with a thermometer, or cut into it to check for readiness. This is pork, so be safe. I also allow the meat to rest for 3 to 5 min. as the juice stays inside better. The meat finishes off with a lovely crunch on the outside, and tender flavor in. We have used leftovers (there are rarely any) for both sandwiches and fajitas. Enjoy,
Gemma Defee-Cooper

Kathy Reno
1-2/3 cups hot water

Kathleen Armstrong
4 cups cooked pasta
1. Place four cups of cooked pasta into a bowl.
Patricia Barrowclough
1 lb. ground beef
Penney Wilfort 1 pork roast (at least 2 lbs. — I prefer Costco roasts, and not the tenderloins 1/2 jar salsa (La Victoria Thick N Chunky mild is my preference) 1/4 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite). Spices to taste PREPARATION: Place roast in crock pot. Mix salsa and barbecue sauce together, and pour over crock pot. Cook on high for at least 4 hours, but can be 6, or even 7. Remove roast from crock pot. Roast should be very well done — falling apart. Remove any excess fat from roast. Pull roast apart with 2 forks (shred), and return to crock pot. Mix in liquid and add spices to taste. Mixture should be quite saucy. Add salsa and/or barbecue sauce if additional liquid is needed. Cook on high for an additional 1-2 hours. Timing can be adjusted as needed depending on the cook’s schedule. Allow a minimum of 4 hours initial cook time and 1 hour follow-up cook time. Preparation time is minimal. If the roast is properly cooked, it will shred with little effort in very short order. Larger roasts will require additional time to cook, and additional salsa and barbeque sauce — just approximately maintain the ratios of meat to salsa and sauce. You can’t over-cook this (as long as you don’t let it dry out), but you can undercook it.

Barbara Curtis VEGETABLES
3 cans regular Corn Mix corn together and green chilies in a deep baking dish make up the corn bread mix and drop spoonfuls of corn bread mix in the corn and spread cheese on top bake at 350 degrees until golden brown. It’s a great side dish with a little bit of spice. Enjoy!
Kerri Pietro Fried Broccoli and Cauliflower
2 bags of frozen Broccoli/Cauliflower mix (the bag with the carrots works too, if you like) Heat oil in pan on med heat until hot. Add veggies, mix and cover. Keep covered until veggies soften (about ten minutes). Uncover and let the veggies fry. You want them to be dark brown all around, so let them sit a couple of minutes and then mix. They’ll need to fry for another ten or fifteen minutes. After your veggies are all fried, add salt and hot red pepper flakes to taste. I, personally, am heavy on the pepper flakes. The spicier, the better, in my book!
