I never thought I'd find a muffin I like as much as my Cranberry but this comes close.

Hardy Oatmeal & Cranberry Muffins

2c baking mix.....I used King Arthur
1c brown sugar....I used 3/4
2 eggs beaten
1c milk
4c oats
4t cinn.
1/2c melted butter
1/2c+ jelled cran sauce

Mix together baking mix, oats, sugar & cinn. Mix eggs, butter & milk.
Add to dry mix. Mix until moistened. Fill muffin tin 1/2 full, spoon cran sauce in center(I made a little well)top off with more mixture.

Bake 350' 15 to 20 min.

I make my own cran sauce with 3/4c sugar. I love it tart. I also put it in the food processor & zap it until all the skins are zapped smooth.

It's a heavy dense satisfying muffin. Hope you like it!!!

((((((Hugs)))))) Kathy

CAPPUCCINO MIX

1 c. powdered nondairy creamer
1 c. instant chocolate drink mix
1/2 c. sugar
2/3 c. instant coffee granules
1/2 tsp cinnamon (I used a whole tsp. I like spicy)
1/4 tsp nutmeg (I used 1/2 tsp)

Combine all the ingredients and mix well. Store in an airtight container. To serve, add 3 Tbsp to 3/4 c. boiling water and stir. Yield 16 servings.

If you want to make it fat-free, you know what to do.

This makes a nice gift in lieu of cookie tins. and you can make this whole recipe in 3 minutes! I parted them out in pint jars that I decorated with scraps of Christmas fabric, decorated the lid, and wrote the serving instructions on a small card and tied it around the neck of the jar with a bow. Voila`! Christmas present!

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE COOKIES (They actually taste a bit like brownies)
Make sure you use a Tablespoon and only 12 to a sheet. They puff a bit and spread a little :) I cooked for 11 minutes
Ingredients

2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs, beaten
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa, such as Hershey's
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, such as Baker's Angel Flake Coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with PARCHMENT PAPER.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
In a stand mixer or large bowl using a hand mixer, blend the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs.
Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture and blend until combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips, coconut and pecans.

Drop the dough by TABLESPOONS onto the prepared baking sheets, 12 COOKIES PER SHEET, and bake 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on a baking rack.

ENJOY!!!!!!

Chicken A La King

1 small green pepper, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces drained (reserve liquid)
1/2 cup margarine or butter
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. sale
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 cups milk
1/14 cups chicken broth
2 cups cup up cooked chicken
1 jar (2 ounces) chopped pimientos, drained

Cook and stir green pepper and mushrooms in margarine...Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly...Remove from heat and stir in milk, broth and mushroom liquid...Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 min, keep stirring, stir in chicken and pimientos and heat until hot.....
I do find, you have to be careful, it does stick to the bottom of the pan real quick.....
We have this over toast............Love it!

Cassie's notes for this recipe:
I can't remember who gave me the recipe, but I had to re write it, as the card had seen it's better days. I made a few adjustments to my liking. I add coconut milk or cream of coconut to the batter, as it's a pretty thick batter, and it adds some extra coconut flavor.


I like the dense texture of this cake together with the creaminess of the cream cheese frosting, and the crunchiness of the toasted coconut.


IF YOU DON'T LIKE DENSE CAKES, THIS IS NOT THE CAKE FOR YOU.!!

Directions


1 Preheat oven to 350 degree F.


Prepare a 9 x 13 pan with non stick cooking spray.

2 Cream together butter, cream cheese and sugar.

3 Beat in eggs one at a time, vanilla and then mix in flour.

4 Spread batter into prepared pan.


Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean.

Cool on cooling rack

5 Frosting:

Beat together butter, cheese, vanilla and add sugar.

Mix until well blended.

6 You can now toast coconut. I toast mine in a lighty sprayed skillet and keep tossing until golden. You can also place coconut on a baking sheet and toast in oven, turning frequently so not to burn.

7 I then gently remove the cake from the pan; and cut the cooled cake into 24 squares, and top with frosting and coconut. You can leave cake in pan and frost. I did it my way for presentation...

Note: Best kept refrigerated.


Enjoy!

CHEESE SAUCE......I use this for Cauliflower Cheese and for Lasagne..

1 oz BUTTER
3 TABLESPOONS FLOUR
15 FLUID OZ MILK
8OZS GRATED CHEESE
1 TEASPOON ENGLISH MUSTARD

MIX FLOUR WITH A LITTLE OF THE MILK
BRING TO REST OF THE MILK TO THE BOIL
ADD THE FLOUR PASTE..AND STIR IN THE REST OF THE INGREDIENTS.....

IUSE A SERIOUSLY STONG CHEESE......BUT JUST BECAUSE WE LIKE A STRONG FLAVOUR

IF THE SAUCE IS TOO THICK.....JUST THIN WITH MORE MILK....
POUR OVER THE CAULIFLOWER AND GRATE MORE CHEESE OVER THE TOP...
PLACE UNDER GRILL FOR A NICE TOASTY TOP......
