Easy Monkey Bread Easy Monkey Bread 2 canisters dinner roll dough 1/4 pound butter, melted 2 Tbsp. cinnamon 1/3 - 1/2 cup sugar Cut uncooked dinner roll dough into quarters or 1/2 inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour melted butter, cinnamon and sugar over dough and mix well to coat all pieces of dough. Pour mixture into a greased Bundt pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow to cool 5 minutes and flip Bundt pan upside down onto a plate to release the bread. Serve warm by picking off pieces of the cooked dough. The Skinny: Use your favorite sugar substitute. _______________________

Smithfield Ham Spread Smithfield Ham Spread 1/2 cup Smithfield ham, finely chopped 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1/3 cup mayonnaise 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce Combine all ingredients and mix well. Serve with crackers. If you do not have Smithfield ham on hand, you may use jars or cans of Smithfield or deviled ham. The Skinny: Use light mayo. _______________________

Candied Orange Slices Candied Orange Slices 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg 6 - 8 navel oranges, cut into slices Combine sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and sprinkle over top of oranges. Let stand a few minutes before serving. This light dessert is simple yet elegant. The Skinny: Use your favorite sugar substitute. _______________________

Roasted Corn Off the Cob Roasted Corn Off the Cob 4 ears of fresh corn 3 Tbl of olive oil Sea salt and pepper to taste Peel the corn. Stand an ear on your cutting board pointy side up and hold firmly at the top. Take a sharp knife (preferably chef's knife but even a bread knife will work) and shave the corn next to the cob to release the kernels. They'll spill down onto your cutting board. It will take about 5 strokes to peel each cob. Repeat with the other cobs. Put the kernels in a Pyrex pan (9 inches) or even a bread pan. Drizzle the olive oil on top and season to taste. Then swirl the corn to distribute the olive oil. Roast the corn in a very hot oven -- 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes before you serve it or you'll scorch your mouth. For variations, you can add oregano or Italian herbs to give it an Italian twist. You can even experiment with a little cumin, chili powder, or cayenne to zip it up. It just depends on what you're serving the corn with. You decide. I haven't ruined it yet! I'm sure you won't either. _______________________

Develed Eggs Deviled Eggs 6 eggs hard boiled 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 Tbsp. mustard 3 Tbsp. dill or sweet relish, depending on your taste 1/4 tsp. curry powder 1/4 tsp. salt Paprika Place eggs in shell in rapidly boiling water, enough to just cover eggs, for 10 minutes. Drain water and allow the eggs to cool. Gently peel shell away and slice eggs lengthwise. Gently remove hard boiled yolk from each egg and place in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, mustard, relish, curry powder, and salt to the egg yolks and mix well. Spoon mixture back into egg white halves and sprinkle with paprika. Serve chilled. The Skinny: Use light mayo. _______________________

Pancakes Pancakes Ingredients ˝ Cup Milk 2 T Melted Butter 1 Egg 1 Cup Flour 2 t Baking Powder 2 T Sugar ˝ Salt Directions Preheat your oven to 200°. This is so you can put your pancakes in there to keep warm while you're cooking the rest of them. Either sift together your dry ingredients, or mix together with a fork. Lightly beat together your milk, butter, and egg, add to your dry ingredients, and stir together with a whisk until the mixture is dampened. You might have to add a little more milk, so that you ultimately wind up with a batter that resembles heavy cream. If you have the luxury of a griddle, by all means, break it out, and set it to 375° - 400°. If not, a sauté pan over medium to medium high heat will suffice. Grease your cooking surface with a little bit of Crisco or other shortening (I tend to use a paper towel with a clump of shortening on it and go around the surface a few times, so as to grease the surface but not to leave it with a puddle). With a tablespoon (or small ladle), pour some batter onto your surface (if you have enough room, do a few at a time). You'll know it's time to flip your pancakes when the tops are covered in little bubbles. Flip 'em, and after about a minute, lightly touch the top of them to gauge if they feel done (and/or, with the edge of your spatula, peak underneath to see if they're done). When they are, put onto an oven-safe plate and put in your oven to keep warm. Grease your pan/griddle, and repeat. Serve with butter and maple syrup, and up the ante with fresh fruit, bacon, juice and coffee. -----------------------------------------------

Curds & Whey Curds & Whey * 12 cups fresh water (3 quarts) * 6 cups instant dry milk powder * 1 to 1-1/2 cups white vinegar * 1/2 teaspoon salt Heat the water in a very large pot over low heat. Stir in the dry milk powder as the water heats. Heat it gently so the milk won't burn. When the milk is very hot (about 120°), stir in about a cup of vinegar. Stir the mixture up gently. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes, don't skip this part. The mixture has to sit for the milk to have a chance to curdle. Now there should be a big clump of white cheese curd in the middle of a pool of clear amber liquid. Look at it to make sure. If the liquid is still milky, then you need to add more vinegar to finish curdling the cheese. Add a couple of spoonfuls of vinegar at a time and stir gently. More of the cheese will curdle and clump up. Continue until all of the cheese is curdled, and the liquid is clear. This liquid is called whey. The white clumps are called curds. You have made curds and whey, just like Miss Muffet. Now the cheese must be rinsed. Line a strainer or collander with cheese cloth, or a thin cloth napkin, or a clean baby diaper. Get the cloth wet with a little water. Carefully pour the big pot of curds and whey into the strainer. Let all of the whey strain off. Run a little cold water over the curds to cool them down, and to rinse out all of the whey. Squeeze the curds with your fingers to break them up, and rinse them thoroughly. Gather up the cloth around the curds. Squeeze it to remove as much of the moisture as you can. This part takes a few minutes. Be patient, and squeeze the cloth covered ball until it is quite dry. Now, open up the cloth and transfer the cheese curds to a bowl or container. You will have between 1 and 1-1/4 pounds of cheese curds, or between 3 and 4 cups of firmly packed curd. Stir the salt into the curds. Ricotta or Cottage Cheese: The cheese you have now will work as ricotta cheese in lasagna, or pretty much any where else. To turn it into cottage cheese, add a little evaporated milk or yogurt to "cream" it and stir to combine. You can divide the mixture in half and make some of each if you want to give them both a try. -----------------------------------------------

Chicken Fried Steak Chicken Fried Steak 2 - 3 pounds round steak, tenderized 1 cup flour 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. garlic powder 2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning or paprika if you can't find Old Bay Fresh ground pepper 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup milk Vegetable oil Gravy 1Tbsp. butter 6 Tbsp. Flour 3 cups hot milk Salt and pepper Cut steak into 4 pieces. Combine flour, salt, garlic powder, Old Bay or paprika and pepper on a plate. Combine eggs and milk in a bowl. Dip steak in egg/milk mixture then coat with flour mixture. Cook steaks in hot oil in a heavy skillet. Remove steaks and keep warm. Add butter to skillet and mix with drippings. Add flour and cook and stir until flour browns. Add hot milk and stir until thickened. Season with salt and pepper and pour over warm steaks. This is an old Southern favorite. The steaks are tender and tasty and the gravy adds a nice touch. The Skinny: Use non-stick spray instead of oil and substitute low fat milk. _______________________

Chicken Pot Pie Chicken Pot Pie Servings: Serves 4 to 6 very hungry people. Ingredients: 2 Pillsbury pre-made pie crusts (1 package) 2 packages of chicken pieces cut into large dice (Louis Rich makes a 12 oz. package. You can do Italian flavor or Grill flavor; you choose. Or you can use any leftover chicken you have from the grill or roasting, etc. You'll want 2 to 3 cups of chicken pieces.) 1 cup frozen peas 2 cups pre-cooked potato chunks (You can use any leftover potatoes you have -- red-skinned, Idaho, whatever. If you don't have any pre-cooked potatoes, you can take one large one and zap it in the microwave and then cut it up. (Follow your microwave directions for a baked potato.) Peeled or unpeeled; it's your choice. I'm Irish so I have to have potatoes in my pot pie, but you can always leave them out and add another veggie of your choice, like corn or small pieces of broccoli or zucchini or even peppers. One cup of whichever one you choose.) 1 cup chopped celery 1-1/2 cups of carrot pieces. (To make life easy you can get them pre-cut, even crinkle cut, in your produce section.) 2 cups of chicken gravy. (Use the canned, pre-prepared kind.) Salt and pepper to taste Instructions: Use a 9-inch square pan or deep-dish pie pan. Take one crust out of the package and ease it into the pan. With a square pan it will crunch up in the corners, but that's just a great piece for those who like lots of crust. No problem. With both sizes, the crust is likely to stick up over the sides a bit. This is good. In a large bowl, combine your ingredients for the filling. Stir and season with salt and pepper. You can even toss in a bit of cayenne if you like your food "zippy." Pour the filling into the first crust. Take the second crust and lay it over the top of the filling. Fold the first crust edges over the top crust or just pinch and tuck it into the sides so there are no large gaps for filling to ooze out of.

Easy Cherry Crumb Pie Easy Cherry Crumb Pie 1 - 9 inch pie crust 1 Tbsp. cornstarch 1 Tbsp. cold water 1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling 1/2 cup quick-cook oats 1/4 cup flour 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup butter Combine cornstarch and water and stir until smooth.

Bring to a boil. Remove from heat . Add milk and 2 beaten eggs. Stir in corn meal, sugar and oil. The batter should be the consistency of pancake batter. ( Not too runny, not too thick.) Add more milk if too thick. Spray 9 x 13-inch Pyrex dish with nonstick spray and bake at 400 F degrees for 30 - 40 minutes or until golden brown. The Skinny: Use your favorite egg and sugar substitutes and low fat milk. _______________________

Repeat till all is fryed. Yield: 12 pcs. fried chicken=20 Since 1952, when Colonel Harland Sanders opened his first franchise, only a select few have been privy to the secret "herb & spices" contained in the billion-dollar blend. To protect the top-secret recipe, the company claims, portions of the secret blend are premixed at two confidential spice cos. and then distributed to KFC's offices, where they are combined. In 1983, in his book "Big Secrets", author Wm. Poundstone hired a lab to analyze a dry sample of the spice mix. The surprising discovery was that instead of identifying "eleven herbs & spices," the analysis showed only four ingredients: flour, salt, pepper, and monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer. The cooking proceedure is believed to be the other half of the secret. Colonel Sanders became famous for using a pressure cooker shortly after its invention in 1939. He discovered that hungry travelers greatly appreciated the 10 min. pressure-cooking time (compared to the usual 30 min. it used to take for frying chicken), and the new process made the chicken juicy and moist inside. KFC is the 3rd largest fast-food chain in the country, and uses around 500 million chickens every year. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
