1 clove garlic, minced
3 cups canned or frozen corn, drained
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes

For the dumplings

1/2 cup corn meal
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

1 large egg
2/3 cup milk
1 cup drained corn
1/2 cup grated cheese
1 tablespoon dried parsley

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, corn meal, baking powder, and salt together.
2. In another, bowl whisk the egg and milk together. Add the cheese, corn, and parsley to the egg mixture.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Caramel Apples

Caramel apples are a special treat and a fabulous gift. They are not hard. All you need is some good quality apples, caramels, and some great chocolate. With just a little practice, you can make some gorgeous apples. The ones in the pictures were dipped in caramel, then chocolate, and drizzled with almond bark. But use your imagination. How about caramel apples rolled in cinnamon candy bits or chopped pecans?

Mormon Peach Cobbler

Cobblers—we love the fruit and cake combination of these old-fashioned comfort foods. The fruit, usually immersed in a sweet syrup, is traditionally covered with a biscuit topping so that it has the rough, uneven appearance of cobblestones—hence the name “cobblers”. Now, the top is often more cake-like than biscuit-like.

Years ago, while vacationing in Yellowstone Park, we found a little cookbook titled Mormon Cooking: Authentic Recipes. Buried in the back of this book was a recipe for peach cobbler that was terrific. Over the years, we tinkered with the recipe using canned peaches instead of fresh and adding cinnamon and more butter. We think the result is divine. And you can always go back to fresh peaches—or another fruit for that matter—but canned fruit just makes this dessert so easy.

Here's the recipe:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Fruit Mixture

1 29 ounce size can of sliced peaches in syrup
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Drain the juice into a saucepan. Mix a little of the juice with cornstarch to make a soft paste and add the paste to the rest of the juice. Add the spices.

Heat until bubbly, stirring as needed. The syrup should thicken to a slurry.

Pour the slurry and peaches into a small casserole dish.

Topping

1 egg
1/3 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a medium bowl, whisk the butter, milk, and egg together. Add the sugar and stir.

Combine the dry ingredients and add them to the liquid mixture. Stir until well combined.

Spoon over the peach mixture so that the fruit is covered.

Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is a golden brown.

Serving suggestions

Serve hot or cold. We prefer it hot with vanilla ice cream or even cold milk.

How to Make a Yummy Lemon Cheesecake that is Diabetic Friendly

Author: Linda Wilson

Receiving a diagnosis of diabetes usually means a change in lifestyle and diet. If you are like me--I have a terrible sweet tooth!--I had this mental image of all things sweet and good disappearing from my diet. Imagine my surprise to discover this is not true. In fact, doctors and nutritionists recommend eating fresh fruit. And there are many ways to make delicious diabetic desserts. As with all foods, we diabetics have to watch our portions and even more so with sweets. Do not make this cheesecake and eat it all before bedtime! But incorporated into a healthy diet, you should be able to enjoy it. With its sugar-free ingredients and fresh fruits, it is healthy and tasty enough for anyone!

DIABETIC'S LEMON CHEESECAKE

1 1/4 graham cracker crumbs*

1/4 cup Splenda granular

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 pkg (3-oz) sugar-free lemon gelatin mix

2/3 cup boiling water

2 bars (8-oz each) light cream cheese

6-oz. lite/firm silken tofu

grated rind of 1 lemon

juice of 1 lemon

1 cup sugar-free frozen whipped topping, thawed

Fresh fruit of your choice, optional

In a small mixing bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs, Splenda, and melted butter until mixed together well. Using the back of a large spoon, press the mixture on the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Chill the crust for about ten minutes.

In a blender container mix the lemon gelatin mix and the hot water; slowly add in the cream cheese and the tofu. Continue to mix until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and add the lemon rind, lemon juice and the thawed topping. Pour into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Chill for 4 hours or more. Before serving garnish with more whipped topping and fresh fruit/fruits of your choice, if desired.

*If you cannot use crumbs made from graham crackers, make your crumbs from sugar-free butter cookies or sugar-free vanilla wafers.

Serves 12.

Enjoy!

Easy Summer Recipes - Budget Meal Planning for July

Author: Fiona Lesley

We all need easy summer recipes, ideally ones that don't require us to spend ages in the kitchen. My favorite easy summer recipes are those that provide leftover meals. Here is a "taster" from July Budget Meal Planning:

Rotisserie Chicken or Oven Baked Whole Chicken with Spicy Rub

This rotisserie chicken rub recipe is ideal on an oven baked whole chicken, a rotisserie chicken or it can be used to produce the easiest of spicy grilled chicken recipes - it is versatile.
You can either thread the chickens onto a rotisserie iron or oven roast them according to the instructions below.
The recipe below is for two chickens. Use one for this meal and the second bird will make chicken leftovers by way of Sesame Chicken or the Best Chicken Salad Sandwich.

Easy
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 1¼ - 1½ hours
Serves 4 - 6 at 2 separate meals

Ingredients:

2 x whole chickens (giblets removed) each weighing about 4lbs / 1.8kg
1 tablespoon cornflour

Rotisserie Chicken Rub Recipe Ingredients:

1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon garlic flakes
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F / 180° C.
2. Wash and pat dry the chickens.
3. Mix together the rub ingredients. Massage the rub into the skins of the chickens, ensuring that you rub the underneath of the chicken and in between the joints.
4. You can either thread the chickens onto a rotisserie iron and cook according to the instructions of your oven or you can oven roast them. In this case, sit both chickens in the same baking tray, breast side up. Roast the chickens for about 1¼ hours, basting every 15 minutes. Slit the joint between the thigh and the breast. If the liquid runs out clear, then the chicken is cooked. If there is any evidence of blood or pinkish liquid, cook a little longer.
5. Once the chickens have cooked, remove them from the pan and allow to "rest" for about 10 minutes. You can cover them with foil. This allows the meat to reabsorb the juices instead of their running out as soon as you carve.
