Cream Cheese Muffins

2 8oz pkg's cream cheese (softened)
2 eggs
1 teas vanilla
1/4 cup splenda

Mix all ingredients together until smooth. Fill 12 muffin tins. Top with 1/2 teas sugarfree jam (optional). Bake at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes. These taste better when they are ate the next day.


Spinach Salad

Fresh spinach
chopped green onion
chopped water chestnuts
chopped boiled eggs
crumbled bacon
crumbled feta cheese

Mix all together. Amounts depend on you and how many you are feeding. Take the bacon grease that you cooked the bacon in and add a little splenda and then some balsamic vinegar. Cook 1 - 2 minutes stirring. Let cool for a couple of minutes off the burner and then pour on the salad and toss. Do NOT add dressing until ready to serve.

I am bad about measuring things. I tend to just eyeball it. But this is a salad that is pretty hard to mess up. And it is very good.

I think these are all of the ones I did:

I don't have a recipe for the pork.
We did this 3 times for the gathering:
(Yep, that started out as 60 pounds!)

We got 2 picnic shoulders (ours were about 10 lbs. each), which fit perfectly in the countertop roaster.
Seasoned them with poultry seasoning and onion powder and roasted, skin side up, for 30 minutes per pound-
(figure the time based on the larger piece of meat- not the combined weight of both pieces-
if you have an 8-pound roast and a 10-pound roast, cook them both for 5 hours)
the first 30 minutes at 425F, and the rest of the time (in our case, about 4 1/2 hours) at 325F.
Let them cool enough to handle and remove the skin, fat and bone.
Strain and chill the juices that accumulate in the pan, and when cold, remove the layer of fat that rises to the top.
We froze the pork and the liquid separately, then combined them to re-heat at the Pig Roast.

OK folks, i don't measure anything, so these are estimates:


Chicken Teriaki salad:
mix together about 3/4 cup of soy sauce, 1/3 c rice vinegar ( I didn't have any so I used white) and a dropperful liquid splenda (or 1/2 c powdered)
add about 2-3 cloves garlic, finely minced
add a 2 X 1 1/2 X 1 inch chunk ginger, finely minced or grated
most of the white part of 4-5 scallions, minced, and a few slices of the green part, leave the rest for later
1 pound of chicken cut into small chunks

marinate the chicken in this mixture all day or overnight.

strain out the juice, heat 3 tbsp sesame oil in a skillet. add the strained chicken/spices and fry until chicken in cooked. add the juice back, bring to a boil, and simmer for about an hour. refrigerate this mixture until chilled, or overnight.

chop the rest of the scallions and mix with either sliced cabbage or cold dreamfields linguine in a large mixing bowl. with a slotted spoon, scoop out the chicken from the chicken mixture into the bowl and mix. Add about 1/2 to 3/4 c sesame oil to the liquid, whisk together, and pour into bowl. Add about 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds. Mix well.

Nancy's Ritzy Crackers

Recipe By :Over50Mom
Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 cup almond meal
1/4 cup Carbquik
liquid Splenda equivalent to 2 teaspoons sugar
1 egg white
3/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 Tablespoons butter -- softened

Mix all ingredients well in a small bowl. Chill dough about 30 minutes.

Drop dough by 1/4 teaspoons onto a parchment-lined 12x17" baking sheet making 24 little piles leaving at least an inch between them. Pick the pieces of dough up one at a time and very gently roll into balls.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap (you can use a small piece and move it around as needed) and take a baking powder can, that has about an 1/8" rim around the bottom, and press down firmly over each ball of dough. Be sure to press all the way down to the baking sheet.

Peel off the plastic wrap and repeat until all the crackers have been shaped. Prick them with a fork.

Bake at 325º for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. After 15 minutes, check them every couple minutes to make sure they don't get too brown.

Cool and store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.

I would also like to see the one for the strawberry fluff! I cant figure out how to make it.

[Pami]

Maryann-

This is my version of that strawberry recipe.
I don't think Cheri uses Sweet N' Low in hers.
I know she uses water to dissolve her gelatin,
which I don't do.
They taste pretty much the same, tho.




Strawberry No-Bake Cheesecake

1 pound frozen strawberries, unsweetened
1/2 cup Splenda bulk
1/2 cup other sweetener, if desired

1 pound cream cheese
1 envelope gelatin powder, unsweetened, unflavored
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Place strawberries in medium bowl. Thaw completely.
Sprinkle sweeteners over berries; blend well with electric mixer.
Don't worry about having chunks of berries; my version isn't pureed.
Cover tightly and let stand in refrigerator for 2 days to allow flavors to blend.
On day 3, soften cream cheese at room temperature. Remove berries from refrigerator and
put in strainer or colander over small bowl. Let stand until most of juice has drained from berries.
Set berries aside.
Sprinkle gelatin over juice and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes, until gelatin is softened.
Place juice and gelatin in microwave and heat for 1 to 2 minutes,
until hot and gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir well.
Beat cream cheese until smooth; add gelatin mixture to cheese, a little at a time,
scraping sides of bowl and beating well after each addition.
When gelatin is fully incorporated into cheese, add vanilla, scraping sides of bowl and blending well.
Beat in strawberries and pour into an 8" square glass pan.
Cover tightly and chill overnight before serving.

Thanks, I'll be making this one for sure

[tez90]

Cheri, I agree with Sue, the Almost Loaded Baked Potato was great!

I don't really use recipes, but here's what went into the cole slaw:

shredded cabbage - I used two packages of the angel hair cut (just cabbage, no carrots.

scallions (green onions) - somewhere between three and five, depending on size, diced.

toasted almond slivers...two small pkgs

toasted sesame seeds...although this time I used Katie's flax seeds...I guess a couple of handfuls.

Then add in equal thirds: oil (any kind works...nut oils have a little more flavor), vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar), splenda (if you use the liquid, much less!)...I think the original recipe was 1/3 a cup each, but I do this to taste.

Let this stand overnight for the best results (and doctor in the morning if it seems out of balance).

It comes out a little different each time, but I always get compliments when I bring it.

[Melly]

Tez that slaw was the best...........definitely will be making it SOON!!!! Great to see you again

[bablen5]

thanks for the recipe Cheri I will be making it soon!!!

[Zatara]

Thanks Pami! I will make this soon!
