Apple Dip


Recipe Submitted By :Tracy
Preparation Time 20 minutes
Categories : Appetizers

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 package cream cheese -- I prefer the whipped
2 cups powdered sugar -- Just add enough until you thinks it tastes good
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 can spanish peanuts
1 jar caramel topping -- I like fat free
10 whole granny Smith apple -- sliced 1/2" thick

Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lime juice.
Pour mixture into a shallow bowl.
Pour a layer of spanish peanuts over the top.
Pour caramel topping over the peanuts so that the peanuts still show through.
Slice the apples and sprinkle with additional lime juice to preserve the color.
Arrange the apples in a separate bowl or on a platter for people to dip!
Serve and Enjoy

Last Chance!

All right Everyone - Believe it or not but the cookbook is finally coming to a close. When I come up this Christmas I am bringing my computer & printer in hand. We will enter the final recipes that you have - have the cookbook printed and bound and in your hands! Yahoo! Let me know if you have any questions.

Love, Tracy

Cookbook and a Spicy Gazpacho Soup

Wow - 218 recipes have been entered to the cookbook! I am going to post the list as soon as Tim can help me compile it! (sometime in the next week) In the meantime enjoy this Summertime Staple: Spicy Gazpacho Soup



Spicy Gazpacho Soup
Submitted By :Tracy Nadeau
Serving Size : 6


Amount Measure Ingredient
1 medium peeled cucumber -- seeded and chopped
1 medium green bell pepper -- seeded and chunked
2 whole celery stalks -- chunked
1 medium white onion -- chunked
1 clove of garlic -- peeled
1 1/4 cups low sodium vegetable juice
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper sauce, hot
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium plum tomato -- seeded and chopped

- - - - - Preparation Method- - - - - - - - - - -
In a food processor, combine the cucumber, pepper, celery, onion and garlic; pulse 8-10 times to break up. Add the vegetable juice, vinegar, pepper sauce and salt; process to a fine dice. Transfer to a container with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Serve, sprinkled with the chopped tomato.

Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 34 Calories; trace Fat (5.4% calories from fat); 1g Protein; 5g Carbohydrate; 2g Dietary Fiber; 0mg Cholesterol; 203mg Sodium. Exchanges: 1 1/2 Vegetable; 0 Other Carbohydrates.

NOTES : My modifications: I process the veggies much more than what they list so that the soup isn't chunky at all. I also add more of the vegetable juice/vinegar/hot pepper sauce mixture per serving. (I like the soup to be red, not green.) And if I'm making a batch to eat over a week, I generally keep the red juice mixture in a separate container than the green veggies and only mix the two right before I eat it.

Cookbook & Candy Apple Delight

Well - I am closing in on having the recipes entered into the cookbook. When I finish I post a list of all the recipes that I have so that you can send me the ones that you want to include but aren't listed. To keep you all excited about the cookbook - I am going to post a recipe each week! This weeks recipe is a BIG HIT at potlucks - I never bring any home! Candy Apple Delight Salad. I love that this dessert has "salad" in the name! At least it sounds healthy.
Enjoy

Tourtière: research for the family cookbook

So I have been working on the cookbook (thanks Debbie - for getting me going on that again). I was looking at some of the edits we had made and I came to Carol's wonderful beef and pork pastry dish. I had titled the recipe as "French Tourteries" from Carol's notes but as we came to that recipe when we were doing the edits, we decided that it was torte "care". Somewhere deep in my mind it was aunt "CAR"ol's torte! What a wild imagination. Anyhow - Linda and I wrote sp? next to the "Tourteries" and rewrote something like "Torteccaire". Have we just been pronouncing this wrongly? So what is it? a Teries or Care?

Here is an interesting blog posting about tourtière.
And an interesting CBC radio show debating the wonderful world of Tourteries.
