Okay! So the bizarre thing didn't go over too well. Then how about just plain delicious and easy?

Chocolate Mascarpone Stuffed Strawberries

LifeÂs Ambrosia

The wonderful thing about stuffed strawberries is that they look really pretty on the plate but are really easy to make. All it takes is a little crisscross cut in the bottom of the strawberry to make a little hole for the stuffing. Then use a piping bag to squeeze just a small amount of the creamy mascarpone inside and thatÂs that. The hard thing about stuffed strawberries is that they disappear quickly so it is essential to make sure to get yourself one before theyÂre all gone.

Serves 4 Â 6

You will need:

Â 2/3 cup mascarpone cheese

Â 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Â 1 tablespoon chocolate liqueur

Â 10 Â 12 strawberries

Â 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings

1. In a bowl combine mascarpone cheese, sugar and chocolate liqueur. Mix well. Transfer to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off.

2. Cut the tops off the strawberries so that they sit flat. Cut a crisscross in the bottom of the strawberry going about 3/4 of the way through. Be careful not to cut through the strawberry.

3. Pipe the mascarpone filling into the strawberries until all strawberries are filled. Top with chocolate shavings.

4. Chill until ready to serve.

Enjoy!

Today I've made a few things.. Mini Vanilla Wafers..(double batch today) Mini Vanilla Wafer Cookies 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 large egg 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking powder Preheat oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Sift flour, salt and baking powder over the butter mixture and stir to combine. Scrap dough into a pastry bag fitted with a plain piping tip. Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making each cookie the size of a large chocolate chip. Cookies will spread, but only a little space is needed between cookies. Bake at 325 F for 10 to 15 minutes, until cookies are a light golden brown. Baking time will vary depending on the exact size of your cookies. Mine were a bit tall, but slightly smaller than a dime. They spread slightly to about dime-size. Cool on baking sheets. Store in an airtight container. Baking Bites I let the last batch darken and dry out a bit more for "nanner pudding".. Just finished the Vanilla Bean Pudding Vanilla Pudding~Betty Crocker 1/3 c sugar 2 T cornstarch pinch of salt 2 c milk 2 egg yolks 2 t vanilla 2 T of butter (optional) Inside of half a vanilla bean(My addition when doing vanilla) In a medium sauce pan mix cornstarch, salt and sugar, whisk in milk...bring to a boil on medium..boil 1 minute...in the measuring cup from the milk gently whisk 2 egg yolks..when minute is up..pour about 1/3 of the milk mixture and whisk in the measuring cup with yolks...add all of that to the pan and whisk..boiling 1 more minute..stir in vanilla and butter. Pour into a dish and cover the surface with plastic wrap as to not make puddin skin..

I've had this recipe since probably when I got my first computer and discovered the Internet had a bazillion recipes :-) I happened across it looking for something else and I'm going to make it, by golly, just out of curiosity. I've never baked dressing covered with a lid before, so I'm leery about that. If any of you have tried it, please let me know if it's worth the time and $$. RITZ CRACKER STUFFING 1 c. each chopped onion, celery and mushrooms 1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter 1 pkg. (1 lb.) Ritz crackers, coarsely crushed (about 7 cups) 2 c. walnuts, coarsely chopped 1/4 c. chopped parsley 1 Tbsp. poultry seasoning 1/2 tsp. pepper 1 can (14-1/2 oz.) chicken broth 2 eggs, beaten Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cook onion, celery and mushrooms in butter over medium heat until tender. Mix cracker crumbs, walnuts, parsley, poultry seasoning, pepper and the vegetable mixture in a large bowl. Add broth and eggs, tossing to blend well. Spoon into a 2-quart casserole. Cover and bake 30 to 40 minutes until heated through.

This looks delicious. Making the remoulade with yogurt instead of mayonnaise cuts the calories by more than half. Shrimp Remoulade (Martha Stewart Living) 1 1/4 lb medium shrimp (about 40) shells on 1 1/2 cup reduced fat (2%) plain Greek yogurt 3 scallions, chopped 2 tbsp stone-ground mustard 2 tbsp ketchup 2 tbsp brine-packed capers, drained, rinsed and chopped 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 3/4 tsp minced garlic cloves cayenne pepper, to taste 1 small head Bibb lettuce, torn lemon wedges for garnish Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a stockpot of water to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Add shrimp and poach until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath. Let stand until cool. Drain. peel and devein shrimp and refrigerate. Meanwhile, stir together yogurt, scallions, mustard, ketchup, capers, lemon juice, garlic and cayenne. Toss shrimp in remoulade to coat; refrigerate 30 minutes. Divide lettuce among 4 plates and top with shrimp. Garnish with lemon wedeges.

Greek Salad with Chicken and Lemon-Mint Vinaigrette One-half medium red onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup) 1-1/2 lb. chicken tenders Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/3 cup plus 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil 1/3 cup chopped fresh mint 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice 1 medium clove garlic, minced 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest 12 oz. feta, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (2-3/4 cups) 2 cups cherry tomatoes, washed and halved 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks 2/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved Put the sliced onion in a small bowl and add enough cold water to cover. Trim off any exposed tendon ends from the wide tips of the tenders, if necessary. Season the tenders with 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Heat 2 tsp. of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook the tenders until well browned on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest while you make the dressing. In a large bowl, combine the mint, lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the remaining 1/3 cup oil. Set aside 2 Tbs. of the vinaigrette in a small bowl. Drain the onions and press them gently to remove any excess water. Add the onions to the large bowl of vinaigrette, along with the feta, tomatoes, cucumber, and olives. Slice the chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces and add it to the salad. Toss everything to coat. Divide the salad among four serving plates, drizzle with the reserved vinaigrette, and serve immediately.

Balsamic Roasted Pork Tenderloin

2 2-lb pork tenderloins, silverskin removed
salt and pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray. Place the pork in the pan and season top and sides with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl whisk the vinegar, honey, mustard and thyme. Spoon the mixture all over the pork, then roast until a thermometer reads at least 160 degrees, about 45 minutes.(Pork could be still a bit pink in the center, and that's ok).

Let the pork stand 10 minutes before slicing into 1" thick slices.

My sister's MIL made this once. When it's sliced you get a nice surprise of ice cream in the middle. I was in high school at the time and thought it was about the fanciest thing EVER! I haven't made it for years, but I'm thinking about it!

SUMMER CAKE

1 angel food cake (can buy from bakery or make it yourself)
1 quart ice cream, your choice of flavors (Frances used Neopolitan), softened
1 pint whipping cream, whipped (or Cool-Whip)

Cut the cake in 2 parts horizontally so that the bottom is about 3/4 of the cake and the top is 1/4. Scoop out the middle of the bottom part and fill with softened ice cream. Top with whipped cream and put the top back on. Ice the whole cake with whipped cream and place in freezer. Remove about 5 minutes before serving.

Easy and delish!

Sausage/Cabbage/New Potatoes.

2 pkgs. Eckrich Smoked Sausage, cut into bite size pieces.
1 large head of Cabbage, cut into medium size chunks
2 cans New Potatoes, drained, sliced in chunks.
Butter or Margerine, salt and pepper to taste.

In a VERY large skillet or electric skillet, put the sausage in first.

Put Cabbage on Sausage.

Put Potatoes on Cabbage.

Dot liberally with butter and add salt and Pepper.

Cover. Bring to high heat then lower the heat to a simmer.

Cook one hour at a good simmer and just leave it alone while it cooks. That's the best part! :)

After an hour, drain. Take lid off, bring to high heat and crisp everything up. The browner/burnt it gets the better! Your pan will probably get burnt marks but that's the sacrifice for such a good meal. lol

I use ketchup with this. YUM. And it's great for leftovers microwaved.
