Curried Butternut Squash Soup
More often than not,
I found this on the web
3 pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced into 1 inch (2.5 cm) cubes
2 medium onion(s), quartered
29 oz fat-free chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
1 medium scallion(s), thinly sliced, for garnish
Preheat oven to 425°F. Place squash and onion in a large baking dish (baking sheet will also work). Pour in chicken broth and bake, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Don't worry if some of the pieces get a bit browned, this will add to the roasted flavor of the soup.
Remove from oven. Let cool about 15 minutes¿ do not pour hot soup directly into food processor, or you risk it exploding. Pour in batches in blender or food processor.
Toast curry powder in a small skillet over low heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes¿ be careful not to burn it. Stir into pureed soup. Season to taste and divide into six bowls (yields about a 3/4 cup per serving); top each bowl with 1 tablespoon of the sour cream. Garnish with scallions and serve.
Crockpot Hot Spicy Chili
2 LBS. Ground hamburger or sausage
2 15 OZ. Cans of pitted black beans
3 15 OZ Cans of kidney beans
3 15 OZ. Cans of diced or stewed tomatoes
Habenero Peppers 1/2 to 1 LB according to preference of spice OR NOT
Jalepeno Peppers 1/2 to 1 LB according to Or Not
preference of spice
Ground cayenne pepper
Paprika
Chili Powder
Ground Black Pepper
Cumin
Minced Garlic 1/8 tsp.
1 White Onion or NOT
Chili Sauce
Tabasco or hot pepper sauce
Brown the hamburger and then mix the olives,
kidney beans and tomatoes together.
Note- Habenero peppers need to be used with
caution. If you decide to cut them you should cover your hands to
protect them from the juice of the pepper which is very sensitive to
skin at times.
Cut the habenero and jalepeno peppers into small slices then add to the
above mixture.
According to your preference of spice or hotness desired add the
following to the contents above: Ground Cayenne Pepper, Paprika, Chili
Powder, Ground Black Pepper, Cumin, 1/8 tsp. of minced garlic, Chili
Sauce, and Tabasco or Hot Pepper Sauce.
Stir everything together until well mixed and then cook on medium or
high heat whichever is desired. Either cook over the stove or in a
crockpot. Decrease temperature as desired.
This serving amount varies.
A good suggestion for topping is any spicy cheese such as jalepeno jack
chedder cheese and tortilla chips rather than crackers which can give a
good authentic mexican taste.
Crockpot Chicken and Wine Dumplings
1 whole chicken
salt, pepper, your favorite seasoning, paprika
2 whole garlic cloves, chopped (I like roasted garlic, so I throw a few
whole peeled cloves in as an extra)

1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine, whatever you hand on hand is fine 1 cup bisquick
mix
8 TBL milk

pepper, your favorite seasoning and paprika. Add chopped garlic to
crockpot. Peel and slice onion and layer rings over chicken. Dissolve 1
Tbl. cornstarch in 1 cup chicken broth together with 1 cup sour cream
and pour around the chicken. Add 1/2 cup white wine. Cook on low 6-8
hrs. Approximately 30-40 mins prior to serving add dumplings: Mix
together 1 cup bisquick, about 8 Tbl. milk, parsley, salt, pepper and
paprika to taste. Drop by spoonfuls on top of the chicken mixture.

WW Crockpot Touch of the Orient Chicken 6.5 Points
More often than not,
I found this on the web
Size : 8
6 whole chicken legs -- not leg quarters
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 cloves garlic -- minced
1 can tomato sauce -- (8 oz)
Remove skin from chicken. Use a paper towel to make this slippery task

sauce and stir well. Pour sauce over chicken. Cover and cook on low
about 6 - 8 hrs or until chicken is tender. Serve with rice. Sometimes
I
like to use 12 boneless thighs and break it into bite-sized chunks when
tender, then throw in a bag of frozen oriental vegetables. You can
thicken the sauce with a bit of cornstarch, if desired. Yield: 6 - 8
servings This freeze well.

----------------------------------------------------------
Although any variety of apple works in this cake, I like to use a
combination of varieties, particularly Golden Delicious,
and McIntosh.
4 cups diced apples (I like to use 4 1/2 to 5 cups)
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup salad oil
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
2 eggs, well beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour (general purpose, not self rising)
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix apples and sugar thoroughly. Add oil,
nuts, eggs and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients together and add to apple
mixture. Bake in a greased 13x9 inch pan for 1 hour.
Server frosted or unfrosted. This cake is one of those that you can
pretty much finish and serve however you like. If you want to frost
it, a sour cream frosting is very nice. Whipping cream or ice cream
go very well with it, too. My favorite way to eat it, though, is with
no frosting at all.

Mississippi Delta Cathead Biscuits Recipe
More often than not,
I found this on the web
Mississippi Delta Cathead Biscuits Recipe
1-1/8 cup self-rising flour
2/3 cup milk or buttermilk
1/8 cup oil or bacon drippings
Step #1: Blend above ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Step #2: Dump a hand full of flour on a pastry cloth or whatever. A brown
paper sack also works. Newspaper also works just fine.
Step #3: Dump the blended dough onto the flour.
Step #4: Pour a dash of oil into your skillet and smear it around with your
fingers. Coat the inside of the skillet and the palms of your hands with oil.
Step #5: Knead the dough for about 30 seconds, rolling it in the flour and
thickening it.
Step #6: Halve the dough. Halve it again, making 4 pieces of dough. Step #7:
Roll each piece of dough between your hands, making it into a ball, then put
it in the skillet.
Step #8: Use a spoon or a pastry brush and put a little oil or bacon
drippings on the top of each unbaked biscuit.
Preheat oven to 3500. Bake 25 minutes. Broil/toast for 1 or 2 minutes.
They're called "cathead biscuits" because they should be about the size of a
cat's head.
