    Almond Joy Bars


    Ingredients (26 servings)

    4 c (8 1/2-oz) shredded coconut
    1/4 c Light corn syrup
    1 pk (11 1/2-oz) milk chocolate pieces
    1/4 c Vegetable shortening
    26 Whole natural almonds (1-oz)


    Line two large cookie sheets with waxed paper. Set large wire cooling rack
    on paper; set aside.

    Place coconut in large bowl; set aside.

    Place corn syrup in a 1-cup glass measure. Microwave on high (100%) 1 minute
    or until syrup boils. Immediately pour over coconut. Work warm syrup into
    coconut using the back of a wooden spoon until coconut is thoroughly coated.
    This takes a little time, and yes, there is enough syrup.

    Using 1 level measuring tablespoon of coconut, shape into a ball by
    squeezing coconut firmly in palm of one hand, then rolling between both
    palms. (HINT: Measure out all of the coconut then roll into balls.) Place 2
    inches apart on wire racks. Let dry 10 minutes. Reroll coconut balls so
    there are no loose ends of coconut sticking up.

    Place milk chocolate and shortening in a 4-cup glass measure or 1 1/2 quart
    microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture can
    be stirred smooth and is glossy; stirring once or twice.

    Working quickly, spoon 1 level measuring tablespoon of the chocolate
    over each coconut ball, making sure chocolate coats and letting excess
    chocolate drip down onto waxed paper. While chocolate coating is still soft,
    lightly press whole almond on top of each. Let stand to set or place
    in refrigerator. Store in a single layer in airtight container.
    Keeps best if refrigerated. Makes 26.






    Applebee's Lemonade


    1 Quart water
    1 Cup sugar
    1 Cup FRESH lemon juice
    Sparkling Water (not tonic water, like Perrier)

    Mix first three togther. Fill a tall glass 2/3 to
    3/4 with Lemon mixture then fill with sparkling water.


    An intresting variation is to puree some fruit
    (raspberries, strawberries, etc) with a little
    superfine or powdered sugar and put that in the
    glass before adding the the lemonade and water. Applebee's Low-Fat Blackened Chicken Salad


    Dressing:
    1/4 cup fat free mayonnaise
    1/4 cup Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
    1/4 cup honey
    1 tablespoon prepared mustard
    1 tablespoon white vinegar
    1/8 teaspoon paprika

    Chicken Marinade:
    1 cup water
    3 tablespoons lime juice
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire

    Cajun Spice Blend:
    1/2 tablespoon salt
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/2 teaspoon white pepper

    2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
    2 tablespoons light butter

    Salad:
    8 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
    1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
    1/2 cup shredded carrot
    1/2 cup fat free shredded mozzarella cheese
    1/2 cup fat free shredded cheddar cheese
    1 large tomato, diced
    1 hardboiled egg white, diced

    1. Make dressing by combining ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well by hand.
    Store in a covered container in the refrigerator until salad is ready.

    2. Combine water, lime juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire in a medium bowl,
    and stir. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, cover bowl and keep in
    refrigerator for several hours. Overnight is even better.

    3. When chicken is marinated, preheat a frying pan or skillet (an iron
    skillet, if youÂ've got it) over medium/high heat. Also, preheat your
    barbecue grill to medium/high heat.

    4. Combine the spices for the Cajun spice blend in a small bowl. Sprinkle a
    teaspoon of the spice blend over one side of each of the chicken breasts.
    Cover the entire surface of the chicken with spice.

    5. Melt the butter in the hot pan, then sear the chicken breasts for 2-3
    minutes on the side with the spices. While first side cooks, sprinkle
    another teaspoon of spice over the top of each chicken breast, coating
    that side as you did the other. Flip the chicken over, and sear for
    another 2-3 minutes. The surface of the chicken will be coated with a
    charred, black layer of flavor. This is exactly what you are shooting for.

    6. Finish the chicken off on your barbecue grill. Grill each breast on
    both sides for 2-3 minutes, or until they are done.

    7. While chicken is cooking prepare the salads by splitting the lettuce into
    two large bowls. Toss in the red cabbage and carrots. Mix the cheeses
    together, then top the salad with the cheeses and hardboiled egg.
    Sprinkle the diced tomato on each salad.

    8. Slice the chicken breast, across each breast in 1/2-inch-thick slices.
    Spread the chicken over the top of the salad and serve immediately with
    dressing on the side.

    the salad

    5. Cut chicken breast into 4 or 5 long strips. Dip each strip of chicken
    first into egg mixture then into the flour mixture, coating each piece
    completely.

    6. Fry each chicken finger for 5 minutes or until coating has darkened to
    brown.

    7. Prepare salad by tossing the chopped romaine with the chopped red
    cabbage, Napa cabbage, and carrots.

    8. Sprinkle sliced green onion on top of the lettuce.

    9. Sprinkle almonds over the salad, then the chow mein noodles.

    1/4 cup canola oil
    1 Tbl. honey
    1 Tbl. lime juice
    1/4 tsp. paprika
    4 chicken breast halves, washed and patted dry


    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, combine canola oil, honey,
    lime juice, and paprika. Place chicken, skin side up, in a 7X11 inch baking
    dish. Apply mixture to chicken pieces in a single layer. Bake in oven for
    35-40 minutes, basting every 8-10 minutes, until well browned and juices
    run clear when you cut into the thickest part of the chicken. Remove from
    oven. Cover with foil for 15 minutes.
    This softens the chicken and keeps it hot until served. Serves four. Boston Market Meatloaf


    1 cup tomato sauce
    1 1/2 tablespoons Kraft original barbecue sauce
    1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin (10% fat)
    6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    dash garlic powder

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    2. Combine the tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and sugar in a small saucepan
    over medium heat. Heat the mixture until it begins to bubble, stirring
    often, then remove it from the heat.

    3. In a large bowl, add all but 2 tablespoons of the tomato sauce to the
    meat. Use a large wooden spoon or your hands to work the sauce into the
    meat until it is very well combined.

    4. Combine the remaining ingredients with the ground sirloin-- flour, salt,
    onion powder and ground pepper. Use the wooden spoon or your hands to
    work the spices and flour into the meat.

    5. Load the meat into a loaf pan (preferably a meatloaf pan with two
    sections which allows the fat to drain, but if you don't have one of
    those a regular loaf pan will work). Wrap foil over the pan and
    place it into the oven for 30 minutes.

    6. After 30 minutes, take the meatloaf from the oven, remove the foil and,
    if you aren't using a meatloaf pan, drain the fat.

    7. Using a knife, slice the meatloaf all the way through into 8 slices
    while it is still in the pan. This will help to cook the center of the
    meatloaf. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of sauce over the top of
    the meatloaf, in a stream down the center. Don't spread the sauce.

    8. Place the meatloaf back into the oven, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or
    until it is done. Remove and allow it to cool for a few minutes before
    serving.

    1 Sesame-seed hamburger bun
    2 Onion rings
    1/2 ts Sweet pickle relish

    1/4 lb Ground beef
    1 ds Salt
    2 ts Mayonnaise
    3 Dill pickle slices
    1/4 c Coarsely chopped lettuce
    2 Tomato slices

    Preheat a clean barbecue grill on high. Toast both halves of the
    bun, face down, in a skillet over medium heat. Set aside. Cut each
    of the 2 onion rings into quarters. Mix the catsup and relish
    together. This is your "secret sauce." Form the ground beef into a
    thin patty slightly larger than the bun. Grill the meat for 2 or 3
    minutes per side. Salt slightly. Build the burger in the following
    stacking order from the bottom up: bottom bun, half of the
    mayonnaise, pickles, lettuce, tomato slices, onion, beef patty,
    remainder of mayonnaise, special sauce (catsup and relish), top bun.
    Cheese Nips


    1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
    (plus 1/2 cup divided & reserved for kneading and rolling)
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 cup Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Cheese Topping powder
    (or 2 packages dry cheese powder from 2 boxes Kraft macaroni & cheese)
    3 tablespoons shortening
    1/3 cup buttermilk
    1/2 teaspoon salt (for tops, optional)

    1. Sift together 1 cup flour, baking soda, baking powder and cheese
    powder in a large bowl.

    2. Cut in the shortening with a fork and knife with a crosswise motion
    until dough is broken down into rice-size pieces. Mixture will still
    be very dry.

    3. Stir in buttermilk with a fork until dough becomes very moist and
    sticky.

    4. Sprinkle a couple tablespoons of the reserved flour over the dough and
    work it in until it can be handled without sticking, then turn it out
    onto a floured board, being sure to keep 1/4 cup of the reserve flour
    for later. Knead the dough well for 60 to 90 seconds, and the flour is
    incorporated. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least
    one hour.

    5. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a light coating of cooking spray
    on a baking sheet.

    6. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and use the remaining reserve
    flour to dust a rolling surface. Roll about one-third of the dough
    to just under 1/16th of inch thick. Trim the edges square (a pizza
    cutter or wheel works great for this), then transfer the dough to a
    lightly greased baking sheet. Use the rolling pin to transfer the
    dough. Simply pick up one end of the dough onto a rolling pin, and roll
    the dough around the rolling pin. Reverse the process onto the baking
    sheet to transfer the dough.

    7. Use a pizza cutter to cut across and down the dough, creating 1-inch
    square pieces. Use the blunt end of a skewer or broken toothpick to
    poke a hole in the center of each piece.

    8. Sprinkle a very light coating of salt over the top of the crackers
    (crackers will already be quite salty) and bake for 8-10 minutes,
    mix the crackers around (so those on the edge donÂ't burn) and bake
    for another 3-5 minutes, or until some are just barely turning a
    light brown. Repeat the rolling and baking process with the remaining
    dough.

    Makes approximately 300 crackers.


    Cheesecake Factory Pumpkin Cheesecake


    1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    5 tablespoons butter, melted
    1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
    3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 cup canned pumpkin
    3 eggs
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon allspice
    whipped cream

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

    2. Make the crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs with the melted
    butter and 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl. Stir well enough to
    coat all of the crumbs with the butter, but not so much as to turn the
    mixture into paste. Keep it crumbly.

    3. Press the crumbs onto the bottom and about two-thirds of the way up
    the sides of a springform pan. You don't want the crust to form all
    of the way up the back of each slice of cheesecake. Bake the crust
    for 5 minutes, then set it aside until you are ready to fill it.

    4. In a large mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and
    vanilla. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.

    5. Add the pumpkin, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice and continue
    to beat until smooth and creamy.

    6. Pour the filling into the pan. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. The top will
    turn a bit darker at this point. Remove from the oven and allow the
    cheesecake to cool.

    7. When the cheesecake has come to room temperature, put it into the
    refrigerator. When the cheesecake has chilled, remove the pan sides
    and cut the cake into 8 equal pieces. Use dental floss to make a
    clean cut.

    Serve with a generous portion of whipped cream on top.

    Serves 8.

    1/2 cup (1 stick butter), softened
    1/3 cup masa harina (mexican corn flour, usually in Latin American
    groceries or next to flour. Possibly in Mexican food section)
    1/4 cup water
    1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
    1/4 cup cornmeal
    1/3 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons heavy cream
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoons baking powder


    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Blend butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.
    Add the masa harina and water to the butter and beat until well combined.

    Put defrosted corn into a blender or food processor and with short
    pulses, coarsely chop the corn on low speed. You want to leave several
    whole pieces of corn.

    Stir the chopped corn into the butter and masa harina mixture.
    Add cornmeal to mixture and combine.

    In another medium bowl, mix together the sugar, cream, salt, and
    baking powder. When the ingredients are well blended, pour the mixture
    into the other bowl and stir everything together BY HAND.

    Pour corn batter into an ungreased 8"x8" baking pan.
    Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Place this pan into a 13"x9" pan
    filled 1/3 of the way up with hot water. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until
    the corn cake is cooked through. When the corn cake is done, remove
    the small pan from the larger pan and let sit for at least 10 minutes.

    To serve, scoop out each portion with an ice cream scoop or
    rounded spoon.


    Chi Chi's Seafood Enchiladas


    10 oz Cream of chicken soup
    1/2 c Onions; chopped
    8 oz Crab (real or imitation); chopped
    1 3/4 c Monterey Jack cheese; shredded
    8 Flour tortillas; 5-6 inch

    dash Nutmeg
    dash Pepper

    In a mixing bowl stir together soup, onion, nutmeg and black pepper.
    In another bowl, place half of the soup mixture,
    crab, and 1 cup of the monterey jack cheese; set aside. Wrap the
    tortillas in paper towels; microwave on 100% power for 30-60 seconds.
    Place 1/3 cup mixture on each tortilla; roll up. Place seam side down
    in a greased 12 x 7 1/2 dish. Stir milk into the reserved soup
    mixture, pour over enchiladas. Microwave, covered, on high for 12-14
    minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Let stand for 10
    minutes. Add a dash of hot pepper sauce to soup mix if desired. Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich


    3 cups Peanut oil
    1 Egg
    1 cup Milk
    1 cup Flour
    2 1/2 tb Powdered sugar
    1/2 ts Pepper
    2 tb Salt
    2 Skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved
    4 Plain hamburger buns
    2 tb Melted butter
    8 Dill pickle slices

    Heat the peanut oil in a pressure cooker over med. heat to about 400F. In
    a small bowl, beat the egg and stir in the milk. In a separate bowl,
    combine the flour, sugar, pepper, and salt. dip each piece of chicken in
    milk until it is fully moistened. Roll the moistened chicken in the flour
    mixture until completely coated. Drop all four chicken pieces into the hot
    oil and close the pressure cooker. When steam starts shooting through the
    pressure release, set the timer for 3-1/2 minutes. IMPORTANT!!!!
    DO NOT CLOSE STEAM RELEASE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS! While the chicken is
    cooking, spread a coating of melted butter on the face of each bun. When
    the chicken is done, remove it from the oil and drain or blot on paper
    towels. Place two pickles on each bottom bun; add a chicken breast, then
    the top bun. To make a deluxe chicken sandwich, simply add two tomato
    slices and a leaf of lettuce. Mayonnaise also goes well on this
    sandwich--it is a side order at the restaurant.

    1/8 teaspoon salt

    Chili Queso:
    3 ounces ground beef
    1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
    pinch of salt
    pinch of ground black pepper
    16-ounce bottle Cheez Whiz
    2 tablespoons milk

    4 large sesame seed buns
    2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded or chopped thin
    2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    1 green onion, chopped
    16-20 tortilla chips

    1. First make the pico de gallo. This is easy. Just combine all of the
    ingredients for the pico in a small bowl and mix well. Cover bowl and
    chill in the refrigerator.
    2. Now we'll make the guacamole. In a small bowl, smash up most of the
    avocado, but be sure to leave several unsmashed chunks. Add the
    remaining ingredients for the guacamole to the avocado and mix well.
    Cover bowl and chill in the refrigerator, next to the pico.
    3. Next we'll make the chili queso. In yet another small bowl, mix together
    ground beef, flour, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a
    pinch of chili powder. Use your hands to work the dry ingredients into
    the ground beef. Brown the beef in a small skillet over medium heat
    for about 5 minutes. Use a spoon or spatula to crumble the beef as it
    cooks. Cook until it's brown, then set aside.
    4. Melt the Cheez Whiz with 2 tablespoons of milk over low heat. When milk
    and cheese has been combined, add the remaining queso ingredients.
    Heat while stirring often until cheese is smooth and creamy,
    then cover saucepan and remove it from the heat.

    the face of each bun and brown the buns face-down on the heat.
    6. Separate the ground beef into four 1/2-pound portions. Roll each portion
    of meat into a ball and then pat the meat down into a circular patty
    slightly larger in diameter than the hamburger buns. Cook the hamburger
    patties for 5-10 minutes per side, until done. Lightly salt and pepper
    each burger patty.
    7. Build the burger open-faced in the following order starting with
    the bottom bun:

    On Bottom Bun:
    1/2 cup shredded lettuce
    hamburger patty
    2 tablespoons chili queso

    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
    1/2 cup corn syrup
    1/2 cup water
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1 1/3 bags plain or natural-flavored microwave popcorn
    1/2 cup roasted almonds

    1. Combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, water and salt in a large saucepan
    over medium heat. You're going to bring the candy to 265-275 degrees,
    or what is known as the hard ball stage. For this it's best to use a
    candy thermometer. If you don't have one, don't worry. Drip the candy
    into a small glass of cold water. If the candy forms a very hard, yet
    slightly pliable ball, bingo, you're there. Watch your mixture closely
    so that it doesn't boil over.

    2. While candy cooks, pop both bags of popcorn and spread about 2 quarts
    or 1 1/3 bags of popcorn on one large or two small cookie sheets.
    Put the popcorn in your oven set on its lowest temperature. This will
    keep the popcorn hot so that the candy will coat better.

    3. When your candy has reached the hard ball stage, add the vanilla.

    4. Pull the popcorn from the oven and, working quickly, pour the candy
    over the popcorn in thin streams. Mix the popcorn so that each kernel
    is coated with candy, put the popcorn back into the oven for five more
    minutes, then stir once again. This will help to coat each kernel.
    You can repeat this step once more if necessary to get all of the
    popcorn coated. Pour popcorn onto a large sheet of wax paper to cool.
    Spread the popcorn out, but be careful...it's hot.

    5. When popcorn is cool, break it up and immediately put it into a
    tightly sealed container, such as Tupperware. This will ensure that
    it stays fresh. This stuff gets stale very quickly in moist climates
    if left out.

    Makes about 4 quarts.

    for the olive oil.

    oil until golden brown. Taste to adjust seasoning.
