3 Chocolate Cookies (Paula Deen)
The reviews on these were excellent; 5 stars.

Chocolate, semisweet chocolate and bittersweet chocolate add up to a spectacular cookie.

1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 3/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels
1 cup milk chocolate morsels
3 (1-ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup almond brickle chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease baking sheets.

With an electric mixer, beat butter and shortening at medium speed until creamy; gradually add sugars, beating until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beating well.

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Stir in chocolate morsels and almond brickle chips.

Drop cookies by 1/4 cupfuls about 3-inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool for 2 minutes on baking sheets. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Since we're talking pork here, I thought I'd share this recipe I tried for brining pork chops or roasts. It makes pork more tender and flavorful.

2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock or water
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 bay leaves
1 tsp. cider vinegar

Heat just long enough to dissolve the salt and sugar and allow to cool. Soak chops 30 minutes to an hour and a roast for up to 8 hours. Then cook as usual.

This is a Paula Deen recipe and my family just loves it. Smoked Sausage Jambalaya So very good, so Louisiana style good. You are not going to believe how easy this dish is to prepare. Serves: 6 Cook Time: 30 Minutes Ingredients 1/2 pound Smithfield Smoked Sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices 2 1/2 cups water 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce 1 bay leaf 3 tablespoons dried minced onion 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 3 beef bouillon cubes, crumbled 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup long-grain rice 1/2 to 3/4 pound medium, fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined. Steps In a Dutch oven add water, tomatoes, tomato sauce. Add dry ingredients, smoked sausage and rice. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes. Add shrimp and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until shrimp are pink. You do not want to overcook the shrimp. A tip from Paula: Never cook the shrimp before you add it to the jambalaya. You want all of the wonderful shrimp flavors to cook into your jambalaya and cooking it before would make the shrimp overcooked (rubbery). Shrimp cooks so quickly, it is best to add it at the last few minutes.

Yesterday my hubby and I cut up a big banana squash to freeze. I made this pumpkin pie from the squash.. It is yummy. A great neighbor just had open heart surgery and pumpkin pie is his favorite so I took him one. I barely got home and he called to say it was the best he had ever had.. This recipe is from an old Mennonite cookbook that was my Moms from 1986. Here goes.......

Pumpkin Pie

3 cups pumpkins or squash
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
4 eggs
1 can evaporated milk or 2 cups whole milk

Mix all ingredients together except the egg whites. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into pumpkin mixture. Poor into unbaked 9" pie crusts. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes and 350 degrees until done. When a knife comes out clean the pie is done..

This makes 3 9" pies...

I used the squash for my pies. Yummy...

I did not have the pie spice so I used ........ 1/2 tsp nutmeg,1/2 tsp ginger and 1/4 tsp cloves Also I used 2% milk..

Enjoy..

Baked stuffed French toast

Ingredients:
4 eggs
2 Tablespoons milk
One 3-ounce package cream cheese
Strawberry jam or sliced strawberries
1 loaf French bread (9 or 10 ounces)
Slice bread about 1/2 inch thick. Spread cream cheese on 1 slice and strawberry jam or sliced strawberries (or both) on another. Put together as a sandwich. Beat eggs, then whisk in milk. Dip sandwich in egg mixture.
Continue the above until all bread is dipped. If any egg mixture is left over, pour over dipped bread that has been set in baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

you can sprinkle some powered sugar on top when done and cinnamon too, what ever you feel like, get really decadent and drizzle chocolate sauce on top.
