Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread        Vicki Winterton

1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup pumpkin, canned
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Note: I used my metal meatloaf pan.  I prefer this pan over the glass Pyrex loaf pans because it is a little more shallow and wide.  This helps to avoid a dough center.



Chicken Chowder        Jessica Anderson

1 1/2 cup milk or half & half
1 can cream of potato soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups cooked, cubed chicken
1 can whole kernel corn, undrained
1 (4 oz.) can green chilies, chopped
1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup green onion, chopped
1 green pepper, diced (optional)
8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)

Combine milk, broth, and soups in a saucepan.  Blend well.  Saute onions, green pepper, and mushrooms.  Add to soup along with corn chicken, and chiles.  Heat through.  Add cheese.  Stir till melted.




Basic Whole Wheat Bread Recipe        LeArta Moulton

This recipe makes 5 loaves.  When cut in half, makes 3 loaves (8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2) or 38 rolls.  Use an electric bread mixer or knead by hand.

Mix in bowl until flour is wet:
5 cups hot tap water (140 degrees)
1/2 cup honey
6 cups flour (white whole wheat or half red and white whole wheat)
1/2 cup gluten flour (optional)

Add and knead for 15 seconds on low speed.
3 TBSP yeast

Add and then mix for 5 minutes:
2/3 cup oil
1 TBSP salt
3 TBSP lemon juice (optional)

Continue adding flour (5 1/2 - 7 cups) until dough has formed a ball and is not sticking to sides or bottom of bowl, then knead the dough on high speed for 6 minutes or more until the dough is elastic-like and smooth.  You may have to add a sprinkle of flour now and then so the dough pulls away form the sides of the bowl.  With oil on your hands remove the dough from the bowl.  Before placing dough into pan, fold and pound with side of fist a few times to get any air bubbles out and form into a ball shape.  This process also helps the bread to raise higher and gives it a better texture.  Put the ball of dough into greased pans and let it rise on countertop until double in size.  Place in oven and then turn oven on to 350 degrees (don’t preheat) and bake for 35 minutes.  Bread is done when top crust is browned and loaf has a hollow sound when thumped.  The bottom crust should be nicely browned.  Turn out on wire rack to cool.  Store in plastic bags.  (I actually put the hot loaves into bags to keep crust soft.) Freeze if not using within a few days to keep from drying out.




 Fresh Peach Pie        Mary Peacock

3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
2 1/2 TBSP corn starch

Bring to a boil, cook until clear.  Add 1/2 small pkg. apricot Jell-o (not peach).  Pour over 4-5 cups of chopped and peeled peaches.  Pour into 2 shells, refrigerate until firm.  Top with whipped cream and enjoy.




I Forgot Cake        Rebecca Tobiasson

1 butter chocolate cake mix
1 german chocolate cake mix

Evaporated milk caramel recipe (don’t go all the way to soft ball)

Poke cake with wooden spoon handle.  Pour caramel on top of cake while hot.  Sprinkle with chocolate chips.

 


Cake Mix Brownies         Melissa Carter

1 box devil’s food cake mix (Betty Crocker works best)
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup oil

Beat eggs, add to cake mix, add oil and mix until a dough forms.  ADd chocolate chips, nuts or butterscotch chips.

you can roll into balls and make cookies or press into jelly roll pan and cook like brownies.  Bake cookies 8 minutes @ 350 degrees.  Bake brownies 12-15 minutes @ 350 degrees.
Pumpkin Muffins        Kathy Brown

1 box yellow cake mix
1 15 oz. can pumpkin

Mix together and fill muffin tins or mini muffin tins.  Frost with cream cheese frosting.




Stuffed Zucchini        Chante Hammond

10-14” zucchini
1-2 lbs. ground beef
1 large onion
garlic to taste
grated cheese

Take a large zucchini and slice it lengthwise.  Use a melon baller to scoop out insides into balls.  Brown zucchini “balls”, onion, garlic, and ground beef in a frying pan until ground beef is cooked.  While browning, take shell of zucchini and bake on a cookie sheet in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.  Take shell out of oven and put browned ground beef mix back into shell.  Bake 10-15 more minutes.  Put cheese on last 5 minutes.
