It is imporant to beat very well when it says to beat. The beating is how the ca
ke rises. When it says add the dry ingredients one at a time that would be the f
lour one cup at a time. I've tried baking many pound cakes and this is the best.
Sara Lee comes in second and Martha White mix in a pouch would be third."

"
Baby Ruth Candy Bar "Centers
1/4 cup whole milk
5 unwrapped caramels
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons water
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 12-ounce bag milk chocolate chips
1. Combine all ingredients for the centers, except the powdered sugar, in a smal
l saucepan over low heat. Stir often as the caramel slowly melts. When the mixtu
re is smooth, add 3/4 cup of powdered sugar. Stir. Save the remaining 1/2 cup of
powdered sugar for later.
2. Use a candy thermometer to bring the mixture to exactly 230 degrees, stirring
often, then turn off the heat.
3. When the temperature of the candy begins to drop, add the remaining 1/2 cup p
owdered sugar to the pan, then use a hand mixer on high speed to combine. Keep m
ixing until the candy cools and thickens and can no longer be mixed. That should
take a minute or two.
4. Let the candy cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it can be touche
d. Don't let it sit too long -- you want the candy to still be warm and pliable
when you shape it. Take a tablespoon-size portion and roll it between your palms
or on a countertop until it forms a roll with the width of your index finger, a
nd measuring about 4 1/2-inches long. Repeat with the remaining center candy mix
ture and place the rolls on wax paper. You should have 8 rolls. Let the center r
olls sit out for an hour or two to firm up.
5. Combine the 20 caramels with the 1 1/2 teaspoons of water in a small saucepan
over low heat. Stir often until the caramels melt completely, then turn off the
heat. If you work fast this caramel will stay warm while you make the candy bar
s.
6. Pour the peanuts onto a baking sheet or other flat surface. Using a basting b
rush and working quickly, ""paint"" a coating of caramel onto one side of a cent
er roll. Quickly turn the center over, caramel-side-down, onto the peanuts and p
ress gently so that the peanuts stick to the surface of the candy. Paint more ca
ramel onto the other side of the roll and press it down onto the peanuts. The ca
ndy should have a solid layer of peanuts covering all sides. If needed, brush ad
ditional caramel onto the roll, then turn it onto the peanuts to coat the roll c
ompletely. Place the candy bar onto wax paper, and repeat with the remaining ing
redients. Place these bars into your refrigerator for an hour or two so that the
y firm up.
7. Pour the milk chocolate chips into a glass or ceramic bowl and zap it in the
microwave for 2 minutes on 50% power. Gently stir the chips, then heat for an ad
ditional 30 seconds at 50% power. Repeat if necessary, stirring gently after eac
h 30 seconds. Don't over cook the chips or the chocolate will burn and seize up
on you.
8. Drop a candy bar center into the melted milk chocolate. Cover the candy bar w
ith chocolate using two forks, one in each hand. When the candy is covered with
chocolate, balance the bar on both of the forks, one at each end of the candy ba
r, and tap the forks on the top edge of the bowl so that much of the chocolate d
rops off. Carefully place the candy bar onto wax paper and remove the two forks.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients, and then chill the candy bars until firm

Payday Candy Bar "Centers
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons water
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1. Combine all ingredients for the centers, except the powdered sugar, in a smal
l saucepan over low heat. Stir often as the caramel slowly melts. When the mixtu
re is smooth, add 3/4 cup of powdered sugar. Stir. Save the remaining 1/2 cup of
powdered sugar for later.
2. Use a candy thermometer to bring the mixture to exactly 230 degrees, stirring
often, then turn off the heat.
3. When the temperature of the candy begins to drop, add the remaining 1/2 cup p
owdered sugar to the pan, then use a hand mixer on high speed to combine. Keep m
ixing until the candy cools and thickens and can no longer be mixed. That should
take a minute or two.
4. Let the candy cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it can be touche
d. Don't let it sit too long -- you want the candy to still be warm and pliable
when you shape it. Take a tablespoon-size portion and roll it between your palms
or on a countertop until it forms a roll with the width of your index finger, a
nd measuring about 4 1/2-inches long. Repeat with the remaining center candy mix
ture and place the rolls on wax paper. You should have 8 rolls. Let the center r
olls sit out for an hour or two to firm up.
5. Combine the 20 caramels with the 1 1/2 teaspoons of water in a small saucepan
over low heat. Stir often until the caramels melt completely, then turn off the
heat. If you work fast this caramel will stay warm while you make the candy bar

Peanut Butter Cups "12 paper muffin cups
One 12-ounce pkg. milk chocolate chips
1 cup reduced-fat peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Cut the top half off of the muffin cups so that they are shallower.
2. Pour the chocolate chips into a glass bowl and melt them in the microwave: Mi
crowave at 50% power for 2 minutes. Stir the chips gently, and let them sit for
a minute or so. If the chocolate needs more melting, microwave those chippies ag
ain at half power for 30 seconds. Stir gently. Continue the process, stirring ge
ntly as you go. But be very careful not to overcook the chocolate or it'll seize
up on you like day old Carolina roof tar.
3. Using a teaspoon, spoon a portion of the chocolate into the middle of a muffi
n cup. Draw the chocolate up the edges of the cup with the back of the spoon. Co
at the entire inside of the muffin cup with chocolate and place it into a muffin
tin. Repeat with the remaining muffin cups and then put the whole muffin tin in
the fridge so that the chocolate hardens.
4. Combine the reduced-fat peanut butter, powdered sugar and salt in a medium bo
wl.
5. When the chocolate in the muffin cups has hardened, pop the sweetened peanut
butter into the microwave oven on full power for 1 minute. This will soften up t
he peanut butter so that it easily flows into the cups.
6. Spoon a small portion of peanut butter into each of the chocolate-coated cups
. Leave room at the top for an additional layer of chocolate, which we'll add la
ter. Pop the candy back in the refrigerator to harden the peanut butter. This sh
ould take an hour or so.
7. When the peanut butter filling has hardened, re-melt the chocolate chips in t
he microwave on half power for 30 to 60 seconds. Use a teaspoon to spread a laye
r of chocolate over the top of each candy. Chill the candy once again to set up
the chocolate.
8. Finally, remember to take the paper off the outside of the peanut butter cups
before eating them. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)

saucepan. Then, with an adult's help, heat on high until the water
comes to a boil. Stir, turn heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer
without lifting the cover for fourteen minutes.
With an adult's help, remove the saucepan from the stove and
carefully (to avoid having your face melted away by the steam), lift
off the cover. Break apart, or ""fluff"" the rice with a fork and set
pan aside.
When dumps are done, carefully transfer them onto paper towels to
drain.
Spoon the rice and dumps into the now empty baking pan, leaving some
dumps partially uncovered, the way Kitty does when he/she is in a

Seven Seas Italian Fat-Free Dressing "Seven Seas dressings were first introdu
ced by Anderson Clayton Foods back in 1964, when the trend toward fat-free foods
was in its infancy. Kraft Foods later picked up the brand, and Seven Seas today
ranks number four in sales of salad dressings in the United States. Here's our
special technique to creating a delicious clone of Seven Seas spice-filled fat-f
ree Italian dressing straight out of the latest TSR low-fat cookbook, using a se
cret combination of water, cornstarch and gelatin where the fat used to be.
1 1/3 cups water
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon finely minced red bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon gelatin
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon dry nonfat buttermilk
1. Combine water, sugar, cornstarch, salt, onion, garlic, bell pepper, Italian s
easoning, and gelatin in a small saucepan. Whisk to dissolve cornstarch, then se
t pan over medium/low heat.
2. Heat mixture until boiling, stirring often. When mixture begins to boil, cook
for 1 additional minute, stirring constantly, then remove from heat.
3. Add vinegar and dry buttermilk to saucepan and stir. Transfer dressing to a c
overed container and refrigerate--preferably overnight--before serving.
Makes 1 1/2 cups.

Comments
In my family, we served this over big thick slices of fresh homemade bread oven
toasted with sweet butter. Now, with diets and nutrition concerns, I serve it ov
er steamed rice. But, every now and then, I just HAVE to have that fresh bread a
nd butter! Note: You can substitute Albacore tuna or other flakey fish if you ha
ve leftovers too! Use fish stock or chicken stock for the 1 cup of juice. And, i
f you use frozen peas, use fish stock or chicken stock to make up the 1 cup of l
iquid for the missing canned pea liquid.

Smoked Turkey "1 15 lb (6.8 kg) (or so) thawed whole turkey
2 cups (475 ml) non-iodized salt
6 bay leaves
1 tbsp (15 ml) whole pepper corns
4 cups (950 ml) hardwood or fruitwood chips for smoking

ssary, to cover)
Rinse whole turkey after removing giblets and cutting away excess fat.
Place turkey in clean plastic or glass continer with sufficient size to fill wit
h brine that covers entire turkey.
Pour brine over turkey to cover.
Turkey should remain in brine for 12-20 hours (keep refigerated).
In preparation for cooking, remove turkey from brine and rinse thoroughly to rem
ove surface saltiness.
Pat dry with paper towels then air dry for about 30 min to form shinny surface t
hat's dry to the touch.
Place on heavy duty aluminum foil or cooking pan suitable for outdoor grill.
Create loose tent of aluminum foil to cover.
Soak 4 cups (950 ml) wood chips (hickory, mesquite or fruit wood) in water.
Place about a cup of chips in small pan or on aluminum foil on top of charcoal o
r gas grill grate over low flame.
Cook for approximately 30 minutes per pound at 180 200 degrees (90 C.) F.
Use meat thermometer placed in thigh until 170 degrees (80 C.) F. is reached, te
st to ensure doneness.
Add additional wood chips as needed to smoke thoroughly.
Comments
I use my two burner gas grill to do this recipe. Usually one burner on low will
maintain temperature. Place chips over that burner. Charcoal grills can also be
used successfully. The aluminum foil tent helps retain mositure. It's a family t
radition to prepare Thanksgiving turkey with this technique and they've always b
een teriffic. I have begun using a meat thermometer to avoid undercooking. Enjoy

1/4 t baking powder
1/2 T salt

1 T vinegar
1 egg, beaten
Water
Mix dry ingredients together. Cut shortening into dry ingredients

until mixture is the consistency of coarse meal. Combine vinegar
and egg and add enough water to make one cup liquid. Add liquid to
dry ingredients and mix until dough forms a ball. Avoid overmixing;
once it sticks together, that's enough. Divide dough and pat out
with hands into desired shape on floured sheet of wax paper (lots
of flour!). Put another floured sheet on top (more flour!) and
smooth with rolling pin. Transfer to pie dish using the wax paper.
Yields five or six 9-inch crusts. Store unused dough (in rolled-out
crusts or in balls) in freezer, tightly wrapped.

Preparation
Trim excess fat from ribs if necessary
Mix all liquid ingredients (including pineapple chunks) and all seasonings.
Marinate ribs for at least 3 hours, all day is better, 24 hours is even better -

es to make it suitable to use over noodles or rice.
You can either start these ribs out in the oven at 350 degrees (175 C.) for abou
t 15 minutes then finish on grill, or place on grill at med-low temperature unti
l fully cooked
You may thicken the marinade with some arrowroot or cornstarch and serve this (w

If marinade gets too salty when boiling you may add more pineapple juice and win
e and teriyaki if necessary.
When pouring in wine be sure and remove from stove first.
Comments
The pineapple juice is a natural tenderizer so the longer you marinate these the
more tender they will be. This marinade is also good for steaks and chicken win
gs. The wings I marinate for two days to really pack the flavor in.

This has been a favorite for my children when they were young. Now that they are
married they also serve this recipe to their young ones. It seems the little on

Fresh Side Pork "fresh side pork (sliced about 1/4 inch thick)
salt
pepper
flour
vegetable oil
Salt and pepper both sides of pork slices.

Dredge in flour.
Fry in a small amount of oil until golden.
Comments
Freshside is basically uncured bacon. It is very delicious but not very lean. It
is also difficult to find in supermarkets. After the pork is fried, make a grav
y from the drippings and serve it over fresh hot biscuits for a real Oklahoma st
yle treat. I was raised eating this and it is comfort food. My mother learned to
stretch an egg by stirring it into the drippings before adding the flour and mi
lk for the gravy. We usually have it still, for special breakfasts, if we can fi
nd the side pork. The last place was an Asian market in Oakland, CA.

lts. This recipe is so hearty and satisfying in and of itself that a simple stic
k of french bread and fresh butter will cap off this recipe as a delectible meal
. Try adding light fruits for dessert to cleanse the palate and a glass of your

half an hour).

Red Lobster'S Clam Chowder "2 1/2 cups water
three 6.5-ounce cans minced clams (plus liquid)
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
dash ground thyme
2 white or red potatoes, peeled and diced
(not russet or yellow potatoes)
1 cup heavy cream
1. Combine water and liquid drained from all 3 cans of clams in a large saucepan
. Stir in flour, parsley, salt, bay leaf and thyme. Turn to medium heat.
2. When water begins to bubble, add the potatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir
often to keep the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
3. Add the clams to the saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often.
4. Add the cream and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Watch the pan carefully
to be sure the chowder doesn't bubble over. Turn down the heat if the soup begi
ns to erupt. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)

Tidbits
Some brands of canned clams seem to be saltier than others. Depending on the sal
tiness of the clams you choose, you may want to add a bit more salt. Start with
an additional 1/4 teaspoon of salt if you find the soup on the bland side.
"
Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Shrimp "Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash ground black pepper
dash cayenne pepper
dash allspice
Dipping Sauce
1/3 cup ranch dressing
1/4 teaspoon dried cilantro
(or 1/2 teaspoon fresh minced cilantro)
5 pieces bacon
5 large shrimp
3 slices fresh jalapeno
1 ounce pepper jack cheese
1. Preheat oven to broil.

2. Make the seasoning blend by combining the ingredients in a small bowl. Set th
is aside.
3. Make the dipping sauce by combining the ranch dressing with cilantro in a med
ium bowl.
4. Cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium/high heat, but don't cook it all t
he way to crispy. You want undercooked bacon that, when cool, will easily wrap a
round the shrimp. Cook the bacon about 3 minutes per side, and don't let it brow
n. When the bacon is done lay it on paper towels to drain and cool.
5. Shell the shrimp, leaving the last segment of the shell and the tail. Remove
the dark vein from the back of the shrimp, and then cut down into the back of th
e shrimp, without cutting all the way through, so that the shrimp is nearly butt
erflied open. This will make a pocket for the pepper and cheese.
6. Pour 1 cup of water into a small bowl. Add the shrimp and jalapeno peppers an
d microwave for 60 to 90 seconds. Shrimp should be starting to firm up and chang
e color. Immediately pour the water out of the bowl, remove the jalapeno slices
and pour cold water over the shrimp. Place the the shrimp and jalapeno pepper sl
ices onto paper towels to drain off excess water.
7. Build the appetizer by cutting the jalapeno slices in half and removing the s
eeds. You should now have 6 jalapeno slices -- you'll need 5 of these. Place one
slice into the slit on the back of a shrimp. Cut an inch-long chunk of cheese (
about 1/4-inch thick), and place it on the jalapeno slice. Wrap a piece of bacon
around the shrimp, starting where the cheese is. Start wrapping with the thinne
st end of the bacon. Go 1 1/2 times around the shrimp and then cut of the excess
bacon and slide a skewer through the shrimp, starting with the end where the ch
eese is and piercing the cut end of the bacon on the other side. Repeat with the
remaining shrimp and slide them onto the skewer with the tails facing the same
direction.
8. Put the skewer onto a baking sheet or broiler pan and sprinkle a very light c
oating of the seasoning blend over the shrimp, then broil for 3 to 4 minutes or
until the bacon begins to brown and the cheese begins to ooze. Serve over a bed
of rice if desired. Feed the left over bacon pieces to the dog while you scarf o
ut on the shrimp. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)

Five Spice Eggplant Parmesan "2 med eggplants -- sliced 1/4""
thick
1 tbsp salt
1 c Egg Beaters
--or 4 egg whites + 1 tbsp water
2 c bread crumbs -- fine
1 spritz vegetable cooking spray
1 qt tomato sauce
1 tbsp five spice powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsps cocoa powder
2 tsps balsamic vinegar
1 oz Parmesan cheese -- freshly grated
--or 3 tbsp nonfat Parmesan
Five Spice Powder is found in the Oriental Food section of most
supermarkets. If it is not available, use the following mixture:
1-1/2 tsps cinnamon
1/2 tsp anise
1/2 tsp ground fennel
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground Szechuan pepper or white pepper
Peel eggplants if you wish, and slice crosswise 1/4"" thick. Sprinkle with
salt and cover with cold water for 15-20 minutes. Drain, rinse, and dry on
paper towels. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Put Egg Beaters in shallow sauce bowl and cover dinner plate with bread
crumbs. Heat nonstick skillet over medium high burner and spritz with
vegetable spray. Dip eggplant slices into Egg Beaters and then into bread
crumbs to coat well and brown them in the skillet. Brown only one layer of
slices at a time, about 5 minutes on each side. Spritz the skillet again
before browning the next batch.
While the first slices are browning, pour the tomato sauce into a mixing
bowl and stir in the five spice powder, garlic powder, cocoa, and vinegar.
Pour one third of the sauce into a nonstick 9""x13"" pan. As the eggplant
slices are browned, add them to the pan, overlapping each about halfway.
When they cover the bottom of the pan, pour another third of the sauce over
them. Continue to brown the remaining slices and add them to the pan in a
second layer.
Sprinkle with Parmesan or nonfat Parmesan substitute and cover with
remaining tomato sauce. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until sauce is
bubbling and eggplant is tender.
Serving Ideas : Serve with tossed salad, robust red wine, crusty bread.
NOTES : The spices I characterize as ""warm spices"" make this recipe an
interesting variation on the standard eggplant Parmesan, but serve it as
you would serve the traditional dish. Sodium content seems alarmingly
high, but remember that the salt is used only to draw bitter juice from the
eggplant and is rinsed away before browning.
