 May you have a Blessed Holiday Season as we remember the TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS--God's Precious Love Gift to All Mankind, the Gift of His Only Son, the Gift of Salvation and Eternal Life for all who Believe! John 3:16 When it is cold, snowy, blowing, rainy outside, I just love to bake these breads. It warms up the kitchen, and the pungent aroma of spices and goodness lingers in the air. As the last loaf is taken from the oven and placed on the cooling rack, I feel a quiet satisfaction and know that I am blessed. 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup mashed bananas 2 beaten eggs 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup chopped pecans (optional) Cream together the margarine and sugar. Add bananas and eggs. Mix together well. Add flour, soda, salt and mix together well. Stir in nuts. Pour into greased and floured 2-quart loaf pan. Bake for one hour at 350 degrees. Makes one loaf. 2-2/3 cups granulated sugar 4 eggs 1 one-pound can of pumpkin 2/3 cup water 3-1/2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 2 teaspoons baking soda 1-1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground cloves 2/3 cup raisins or dates 2/3 cup broken nut meats Cream shortening and sugar together; add eggs, pumpkin, and water. Stir together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices and add to pumpkin mixture. Stir in nuts and raisins. Pour into three well-greased and floured 2-quart loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. (Three 1-pound coffee metal coffee cans may be used. Also, this recipe does well poured into muffin tins, but reduce baking time.) For best results, bake bread day before serving. These loaves may be doubly wrapped with tin foil and placed in freezer bags for freezer storage. Make nice gifts. Stir in: 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted. Add: 2 eggs, one at a time, beating five minutes each time. (This is the secret of the silky texture!) Fold in 2 cups of whipped topping. Chill for 2 hours. Pour into a 9-inch baked pie shell. 1-lb. graham cracker crumbs 1-lb dates, chopped fine 1 cup chopped nut meats 1 cup sweet cream 20 glazed maraschino cherries 1 cup candied pineapple Mix above ingredients together thoroughly and then press entire mixture into a mold. Let this stand overnight. It is better when stored a few days before serving. I usually wrap well and refrigerate it. This can be sliced into small thin squares to use as "bites." Enjoy! 1 dry yellow cake mix (reserving 1 cup of the mix for later) - 1 stick margarine; mix into this 1 egg. Press this mixture into a 9 x 13 pan greased baking pan. (2) Now, in a bowl, mix together: 13-oz. canned pumpkin - 4 eggs - 1/2 c. milk - 1-1/4 cups brown sugar - 1 teas. nutmeg - 1 teas. cinnamon Pour this mixture over the crumb mixture in baking pan. (3) For crumbly crust: Take your 1-cup of reserved dry cake mix, add 1/4 c. granulated sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, 1 teas. cinnamon and 1 teas. pumpkin pie spice. Cut this mixture together with a pastry cutter. Then sprinkle this over the mixture in the pan. This makes a nice crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Top with whipped topping. (I like this recipe better than pumpkin pie because it is sweeter and a lot easier to make.)  2-1/4 cups granulated sugar 3/4 cup evaporated milk 16 large marshmallows or 1 cup marshmallow cream 1/4 cup margarine 1/4 teaspoon salt Cook, stirring constantly (as it may scorch) over medium heat and bring to a boil (mixture will be bubbling all over the top). Boil for 5 minutes longer, stirring constantly and then remove from heat. Stir into this until completely melted - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate bits, 1 cup of chopped pecan or walnut nut meats, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Spread into a buttered 8 x 8 inch square pan, cool, and cut into squares. Add: 2 cups graham cracker crumbs and 2-1/2 cups powdered sugar. Blend together and press this into a 9 x 13 inch pan. Melt in microwave in separate bowl for 2 minutes: 1 pkg. semi-sweet chips (12 oz) and 2 tbsp. oil and spread this over top of the peanut mixture. Refrigerate and enjoy. 3/4 box confectioner's sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup peanut butter (may use chunky or smooth) (1) Peel potato and mash it while it is hot.

(4) Dust waxed paper with powdered sugar, then roll dough out about 1/4 inches thick and spread with peanut butter. (5) Roll up like a jelly roll, wrap in waxed paper, and chill. When ready to serve, slice into 1/4 inch slices. 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 to 1-1/2 cups roasted, salted peanuts (with or without skins) 1 tablespoon margarine 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon baking soda Combine sugar, syrup, and salt in a 2-quart mixing bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Stir in nuts and microwave for 3 to 5 more minutes. (watch so nuts don't burn) Stir in butter, vanilla, and baking soda until mixture is light and foamy. Spread on a well greased cookie sheet. Cool and slam cookie sheet on counter to break up into small pieces. Nuke for about 2 minutes on high, uncovered. Stir well and add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir again until well blended and pour into an 8 x 8 inch pan. Chill one hour and serve. 1 pound miniature marshmallows 1 pound shredded coconut 1 pound chopped nuts 2 cans Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk Graham cracker crumbs Powdered sugar Mix above ingredients together and form into 1" balls. Roll in graham cracker crumbs and then roll in powdered sugar. Do not freeze or refrigerate. 1 cup sugar 1 cup flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup chopped dates 3/4 chopped nuts 1 teaspoon vanilla Add sugar to eggs. Fold in flour, salt, and baking powder, sifted together. Add dates, nuts, and vanilla. Spread in a thin sheet in oiled pans. Bake in a slow oven - 300 to 325 degrees for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut into bars while warm, then roll in powdered sugar.

Then form into 1" balls, stuffing a cherry, candy kiss, nut, mint, gumdrop, etc., into each one for a surprise. Bake at 350 degrees at 2-inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned (watch as they can burn quickly). Cool 10 minutes then roll in powdered sugar. 1 cup mayonnaise 1 package frozen CHOPPED spinach, thawed (don't cook, but completely squeeze out all water) 1 package dry Swiss vegetable soup mix 1 flat can of water chestnuts, diced Toss above ingredients together. Refrigerate overnight. Serve with pumpernickel bread slices or rolls; great with rye crackers, too! 1 teaspoon seasoned salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper 2 ten-ounce packages of frozen peas, thawed and drained 1 tomato, chopped 1/4 cup minced onion 5 slices of bacon (microwaved until done), drained, crumbled Combine sour cream, salt, garlic powder, pepper - stir well. Add peas, tomato, and onion. To serve, spoon onto a bed of lettuce, garnish with tomato wedges and sprinkle with crumbled bacon. Chill. 1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, and squeezed dry 1 cup mayonnaise 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 4 oz) 1/4 teas. garlic powder 1/4 teas. parsley flakes 1/4 teas. onion powder Combine above ingredients. Bake in a 1-quart casserole dish, uncovered, for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees until heated through. Serve with crackers, tortilla chips, etc. Saute 1 medium chopped onion and about 1/2-cup chopped celery until nearly cooked. Next, break up the cornbread into fine pieces in a big mixing bowl. Add one package of dry herbal stuffing (like Stove Top, Pepperidge Farm, etc.). Add the sauteed onions & celery to this, then add three beaten eggs, salt, pepper, and a little sage (optional) to taste. Smush this all together with your hands until moist, adding one can of chicken broth & just a little milk, so that the final consistency is like thick oatmeal. Put this into a very well-greased pan or casserole dish and bake (covered) at 400 degrees for 1 to 1-1/2 hours until very lightly browned on top. (If using a glass casserole dish, bake at 375 degrees) Optional idea: Lightly brown & separate into pieces while cooking, a 1-lb package of sage sausage (like Jimmy Dean), drain well, and add to the mixture before baking.
