McDonald*s Apple Muffin Copycat/Clone Recipe
Yield: 24 copycat Servings
21 oz Apple pie filling
3 Eggs
2 ts Apple pie spice
18 oz Yellow cake mix
Beat all together with electric mixer on medium-speed. Divide batter
equally between 24 paper-lined 
cupcake wells. Bake 350~ 25 to 30 minutes or until knife inserted comes
out clean. Cool before peeling off 
paper liners.
WOW! Thank you, thank you for that fantastic recipe. I was able to eke
out 30 muffins -- on the small side, though I did not bake them in a
small cupcake pan. I made 18 according to the recipe -- except, not
having apple pie spice, I used a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of
nutmeg. With the remaining batter, I added 1/2 cup each of raisins and
walnuts. They all took 20 minutes to bake. Also, on one batch, I added
low-sugar white canned frosting. Delicious -- and so easy!

Stir dry gelatin into strawberries, then fold in topping, then

[RecipesAndMore] Dirty Dessert

2009-03-14 Thread Angelique in Texas

Dirty Dessert
25 Oreos, crushed fine
1 lb. mini marshmallows
3/4 c. milk
2 c. whipping cream
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
green food coloring
Combine marshmallows and milk in saucepan and heat, stirring constantly,
until melted and smooth. Or melt in microwave on high, stirring at 1
minute intervals, until melted and smooth. Cool to room temperature. 
Beat cream with extract and 2-3 drops coloring until stiff peaks form.
It should have a light mint flavor and be a light minty green color.
Beat marshmallow mixture to smooth it then fold in the cream until no
lumps of cream remain. Press half of crumbs in bottom of 11 x 7 or 9 x 9
baking dish. Gently spread marshmallow mixture over the crumbs, by
dropping it by spoonfuls over the crumbs and then spreading it out. Top
evenly with remaining crumbs. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
This is a nice light dessert. Do not try to substitute other cookies;
they just don*t have the same color or flavor. I tried it one time and
it just wasn*t the same. The the only time I buy Oreo cookies is when I
want to make this recipe. Also, you must use whipping cream or a
non-dairy cream that you can whip. Cool Whip 
or other frozen topping does not work; it comes out heavy and creamy
instead of light and fluffy. I often make this at Christmas in my
tree-shaped pan. It would look great in a shamrock-shaped pan.
You can use that other half bag of marshmallows in the following recipe.

Fill container to top with water and shake vigorously to dissolve sugar.
When ready to serve, add 1 liter of ginger ale in punch bowl.
We take 2 cups of this and freeze in bundt pan with some red cherries to
make an ice ring to float in punch bowl without diluting the punch.
It is a very pretty punch and even the kids love it. We made it with

[RecipesAndMore] Piglets In The Blanket

2009-03-14 Thread Angelique in Texas

Piglets In The Blanket
1 can Pillsbury® Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls -- (8-oz.)
24 fully cooked cocktail wieners (I use the Lil Smokies)
Ketchup or purchased sweet and sour sauce
Heat oven to 375°F. Grease cookie sheet. Unroll dough; separate
into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles. Place 1
little sausage on shortest side of each triangle; roll up to opposite
point. Place, point side down, on greased cookie sheet. Bake at
375°F. for 11 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately
remove from cookie sheet. Serve with a sweet and sour sauce. Makes 24.
My family eats them without sauce!
Recipe By Pillsbury
Another suggestion is to use grape jelly/chili sauce mixed together and
poured over Lil Smokies and cooked and served in a slowcooker. I think
there is a real recipe for this on the site somewhere - but that will
work. They go over real well, too.

[RecipesAndMore] TRY HEALTHY ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

2009-03-14 Thread steve doyle
TRY HEALTHY ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

These chocolate-walnut lace cookie ice cream sandwiches can be
assembled as spectacular frozen towers, and the nutritional numbers
are just as impressive.

The easy-to-prepare cookies are made rich with the healthy fats in
chopped walnuts, plus a small amount of intensely flavored cocoa and
a prudent amount of butter for that unmistakable taste. High-fiber
oats add heft and texture to the batter, which is bound together with
only a tablespoon of egg white.

As for the ice cream, you can go with chocolate if you want an
intense cocoa experience or strawberry to add an appropriate touch of
pink. A scoop of each wouldn't be so bad, either.

If you want to be completely virtuous you can use nonfat frozen
yogurt or ice cream, but varieties with even a small amount of fat
tend to have a more luxurious mouth feel.


CHOCOLATE-WALNUT LACE COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg white
1 pint low-fat strawberry or chocolate ice cream

1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil
and coat it with cooking spray or brush it with oil.

2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and
butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is melted and
bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.

3. Add the oats, walnuts, cocoa, baking powder and vanilla, then stir
to combine. Set aside.

4. In a small bowl, use a fork to beat the egg white until it is
slightly frothy. Measure out 1 tablespoon of the beaten white and
stir it into the cookie batter; discard the remaining egg white or
reserve for another use.

5. Drop half tablespoonfuls of the batter about 2 inches apart on the
prepared baking sheet to make 12 cookies. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes,
or until the cookies look dry and are just beginning to color on top.

6. Slide the sheet of foil and cookies off the baking sheet and onto
a flat surface. Let the cookies cool completely. Peel the cookies off
the foil.

7. To assemble the sandwiches, set a cookie in the center of a
dessert plate. Top with 1/4 cup of the ice cream. Set a second cookie
on top of the ice cream, then top that with another 1/4 cup of ice
cream. Set a third cookie on top.

8. As you assemble the sandwiches, place them in the freezer until
ready to serve.

Makes 4 servings

A single candle can illuminate an entire room. A true friend lights up 
an entire lifetime. Thanks for the bright lights of your friendship.

If an angel is someone
who is filled with love,

it's a gift that they constantly share,
If an angel is someone

who looks out for
others and gives them
a nudge here or there,

If an angel is someone

Then even though you

You're an angel in disguise!

SERENITY
  Just before the funeral services, the 
undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked,
  'How old was your husband?' '98,' she replied.
  'Two years older than me'
  'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented.
  She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is 
it?

'And what do you think is the best thing
About being 104?' the reporter asked.
She simply replied, 'No peer pressure.'
The nice thing about being senile is
You can hide your own Easter eggs.
I've sure gotten old!
I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,
New knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes
I'm half blind,
Can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
Take 40 different medications that
Make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.
Have bouts with dementia
Have poor circulation;
Hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.
Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92.
Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,
I still have my driver's license.



  I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape,
  So I got my doctor's permission to
  Join a fitness club and start exercising.
  I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.
  I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and

they are!

[RecipesAndMore] Cooking Tips

2009-03-14 Thread Delma


TERRIFIC TASTY TIPS:
Just a few ideas to simplify your cooking!!

When boiling milk, first stir in a pinch of baking soda. This will help keep
the milk from curdling.
Add one teaspoon of lemon juice to each quart of water when cooking rice,
this will keep rice fluffy.
For crisper salads: Place a saucer upside down in the bottom of the salad
bowl before filling with salad. Excess moisture will run underneath the
saucer and this will help keep the salad crisp and fresh.
Tasty flavored whipped cream: First whip cream then add 2 tablespoons of
flavored Jell-O and continue beating on slow until the whipped cream is
right consistency
Leftover ham: Lay ham slices in a baking dish then cover with maple syrup.
Refrigerate overnight then fry the ham in butter the next morning
You can substitute crumbled cornflakes for bread crumbs when making meatloaf

Cookie  Cake Decoration: Keep a small amount of sugar in small glass jars,
add a few drops of food coloring and shake jar. Keep several colors on hand.

Pickle Juice uses: Use sweet pickle juice to thin salad dressing or make
French dressing with instead of vinegar, more delicious.
Cook vegetables with one or more bouillon cubes instead of salt-improves
flavor. Tossing in a few garlic cloves when boiling vegetables makes things
tastier too.
Salt added to flour used for thickening gravies, etc., will help to prevent
lumping.
Keep brown sugar in a closed container with an apple in it, the brown sugar
will stay soft and moist.
Grate orange and lemon peel before peeling. Dry and add to spice cake or any
cookies or puddings. The dried grated peel will keep well in a covered jar.
Wrap parsley in foil first, then freeze. Shave off as much as needed, rewrap

[RecipesAndMore] Soap dish. Keep your soap dish smart

2009-03-14 Thread steve doyle
Soap dish. Keep your soap dish smart 

A soap dish can be a real mess if you do not keep on top of the cleaning of it. 
Here is a tip to keep your soap dish clean:

Find a sponge that fits your soap dish and set it underneath the soap. That 
way, wet soap will seep into the sponge, not all over your soap dish. To clean 
up, just rinse out the sponge.

an entire lifetime. Thanks for the bright lights of your friendship.

[RecipesAndMore] Joke

2009-03-14 Thread steve doyle
When out for dinner with my son one evening we had ordered a very flaky apple 
strudel for dessert.  He eyed it appreciatively before taking a bite.  A 
questioning 
look came into his eye as he said This is really good, Mom, but why do they 
serve it with cardboard?

 TERRIFIC TASTY TIPS:
 Just a few ideas to simplify your cooking!!

 When boiling milk, first stir in a pinch of baking soda. This will help 
 keep
 the milk from curdling.
 Add one teaspoon of lemon juice to each quart of water when cooking rice,
 this will keep rice fluffy.
 For crisper salads: Place a saucer upside down in the bottom of the salad
 bowl before filling with salad. Excess moisture will run underneath the
 saucer and this will help keep the salad crisp and fresh.
 Tasty flavored whipped cream: First whip cream then add 2 tablespoons of
 flavored Jell-O and continue beating on slow until the whipped cream is
 right consistency
 Leftover ham: Lay ham slices in a baking dish then cover with maple syrup.
 Refrigerate overnight then fry the ham in butter the next morning
 You can substitute crumbled cornflakes for bread crumbs when making 
 meatloaf

 Cookie  Cake Decoration: Keep a small amount of sugar in small glass 
 jars,
 add a few drops of food coloring and shake jar. Keep several colors on 
 hand.

 Pickle Juice uses: Use sweet pickle juice to thin salad dressing or make
 French dressing with instead of vinegar, more delicious.
 Cook vegetables with one or more bouillon cubes instead of salt-improves
 flavor. Tossing in a few garlic cloves when boiling vegetables makes 
 things
 tastier too.
 Salt added to flour used for thickening gravies, etc., will help to 
 prevent
 lumping.
 Keep brown sugar in a closed container with an apple in it, the brown 
 sugar
 will stay soft and moist.
 Grate orange and lemon peel before peeling. Dry and add to spice cake or 
 any
 cookies or puddings. The dried grated peel will keep well in a covered 
 jar.
 Wrap parsley in foil first, then freeze. Shave off as much as needed, 
 rewrap
 and return to the freezer. It will retain its flavor and freshness.
 To keep peeled potatoes from turning dark without putting them in water,
 wrap in paper towel and wet under the faucet.
 Baking bread? Do not preheat. When you light your oven, pop in the bread
 pans immediately and you'll be amazed at the resulting lightness of the
 bread.

 Add one teaspoon of lemon juice to each quart of water when cooking rice,

 saucer and this will help keep the salad crisp and fresh.
 Tasty flavored whipped cream: First whip cream then add 2 tablespoons of
 flavored Jell-O and continue beating on slow until the whipped cream is

 syrup.
 Refrigerate overnight then fry the ham in butter the next morning

 Add two teaspoons of vinegar to Jell-O and it will keep the Jell-O from

 Lemon juice or vinegar in water where cauliflower is cooked makes it keep
 its white color.
 A tablespoon of minute tapioca sprinkled in apple pie will absorb excess
 juice while baking.
 Add one teaspoon baking powder to mashed potatoes to make them fluffy.
 Have a small bowl of melted butter and just brush on corn on the cob with
 a
 pastry brush. If you have a metal bowl you can put a chunk of butter in
 the
 bowl and set on grill to melt while meal is grilling.
 For bananas that are ripe and ready to eat but you have too many, peel 
 the
 bananas and freeze them then dip in melted chocolate and freeze again,
 these
 make a nice treat!

[RecipesAndMore] Heloise's Hint

2009-03-14 Thread Jan

Soft Cookies Have Become Crisp?
Put a slice of fresh bread on top of an aluminum foil sheet in the
cookie jar. The bread will dry out and the cookies will become a tad
softer.

[RecipesAndMore] Will you dance with me?

2009-03-14 Thread Delma


Will You Dance With Me?

Will You Dance With Me?
READ THIS VERY SLOWLY IT'S PRETTY PROFOUND.
Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they
haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it
was coming
or are too rigid to depart from their routine.

I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed
 up
dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back.  From then
on,
I've tried to be a little more flexible.

How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't
suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed?  Does
 the
word
refrigeration' mean nothing to you?

How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you
watched Jeopardy' on television?

I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, 'How about going to
lunch in a half hour? She would gas up and stammer, 'I can't. I have clothes
on the line.  My hair is dirty.  I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late 
breakfast,
It looks like rain.
And my personal favorite:  'It's Monday.
She
died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together.

Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our
headaches.  We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when
all
the conditions are perfect!

We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Steve toilet-trained.
  We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet..
We'll go on a second
honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.

Life has a way of accelerating as we get older.  The days get shorter, and
the list of promises to ourselves gets longer.
One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives
is a litany of I'm going to,
I plan on, and Someday,
when things are settled down a bit.
When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure
 and
available for trips.  She keeps an open mind on new ideas.  Her enthusiasm
for life is contagious.  You talk with her for five minutes, and you're 
ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Roller blades and skip an 
elevator for
a bungee cord..

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years.  I love ice cream.  It's 
just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula
and eliminate the digestive process
The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-Decker.
If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.
Now...go on and have a nice day.
Do something you WANT to..
not something on your SHOULD DO list.
If you were going to die soon
and had only one phone call you could make,
who would you call and what would you say?  And why
 are you waiting?

Make sure you read this to the end;
you will understand why I sent this to you.
Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the 
rain lapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butter fly's erratic flight or
gazed at the sun into the fading night?
Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask ' How are you?'  Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores 
running through your head?
Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow.
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch?  Let a good friendship die?
Just call to say Hi?

When you worry and hurry through your day,
it is like an unopened gift.
Thrown away.
Life is not a race Take it slower.
Hear the music
before the song is over.

It's National Friendship Week.
Show your friends how much you care.
 Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND.
If it comes back to you,
then you'll know you have a circle of friends.
To those I have sent this to I cherish our friendship and appreciate 
all you do.
Life may not be the party we hoped for...  but while we are here we might as 
well dance!

HI Delma, You are right.   We must smell the roses and do what we want 
while we can.   Thank you for this.   I will save this because it 
really makes you think.   Again thankyou.
