1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350. Blend all ingredients in a large bowl, beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.  Bake in a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan for 45-55 minutes, until center springs back when touched lightly.  Cool right side up for about 25 minutes, then remove from pan. Combine confectioner sugar and lemon juice and drizzle over cake.

Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti

7/15/2014

0 Comments

 
For all those wanting the recipe...  Some friends were talking about how tasty this casserole was, and the swim dinner was the first and only time I have made this dish. I made only a half recipe, which fills a 9x13 casserole.   Enjoy!

4 cups chicken tenders, cooked and cut up  (I used about 1 2/3 pounds)  I'm sure you could use any chicken, but tenders are easy to cut up
4 cans cream of chicken soup  (2 cans)
4 cans Rotel tomatoes with chilies  (2 cans)  using one can original and one can HOT would add some kick to your dish  :)
2 cans peas (I skipped the peas, thinking HS boys would skip peas)
20 ounces vermicelli (I used a 20-oz. box thin spaghetti)
4 cups shredded Monterey Jack/Colby cheese (I used a 2-cup pkg. shredded Colby/Jack)
(I tossed in some "Mexican" spices--cilantro, cumin, extra pepper, and sprinkled the chicken with "Slap Ya Mama", my favorite spicy seasoning salt, before cooking)

Bake the chicken, covering it halfway through to keep it moist and to create some juices.  Cut up chicken into bite-size pieces. Cook pasta until just tender, as it will cook some more in the sauce, and drain. Mix together soup, tomatoes, (peas), and HALF of cheese (I mixed in about 2/3) and spices if you use them.  Stir in chicken pieces and blend, then stir in pasta.  Transfer to 9x13 baking dish and cook, covered, for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.  Sprinkle remaining cheese over casserole, cover only lightly (leave edges of foil loose), and return to oven for another 10 minutes.  Serve hot. You can make this ahead and refrigerate it, but you would need to bake longer covered to heat it through before adding cheese on top.

This makes a huge batch!

Napa Salad

1 Comment

 
from Joyce Cookman

Greens
1 head of Napa cabbage–chop as thin as possible
1 bunch of green onions–chop including greens
Crunchies
½ cup of sesame seed
1 cup sliced almonds
2 pkg. of ramen noodles crushed (discard seasoning packs)
1 stick of butter (or soy butter)
Dressing
¾ cup canola oil
½ cup sugar
¼ cup vinegar
2 tbsp. soy sauce

      Melt butter and add sesame seeds, almonds and crushed noodles. Brown and cool. Heat dressing to boiling. Boil for one minute. Chill.Keep cabbage, onions, crunchies and dressing separate until ready to eat. Toss and serve.
This salad does not keep well overnight because everything becomes mushy.
     *We always call this “Sheila Salad” because I first obtained this recipe from my longtime friend, Sheila Van Bree, who after many years in Bloomington, now lives in Texas.  I’m happy to share this recipe in honor of a great cook and a great friend!

Maple Spare Ribs

7/15/2014

0 Comments

 
5 pounds of beef spare ribs
1 cup real maple syrup (pancake syrup will not work)
3 Tbsp orange juice concentrate
3 Tbsp catsup
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp Worstershire sauce
1 tsp curry powder
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, chopped
1 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted


Preheat oven to 350.  Place ribs on a rack in a large baking pan ( I put cooling rack inside a lasagna pan) and cover with foil.  Bake 60-90 minutes.  Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine maple syrup, orange juice concentrate, catsup, soy sauce, mustard, worstershire, curry powder, garlic and onions.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and boil gently for 15 minutes.  Remove from heat and set aside.  When ribs are done, remove from rack and drain pan.  Return ribs to pan or smaller baking dish and cover with maple sauce.  Bake, uncovered, basting often for 35 more minutes.  Move to platter and sprinkle with seeds.  

I like to serve this with mashed potato casserole.  Tastier if made ahead, refridgerated and reheated!
