The APA would like to share some recipes this month for the Book of shadows entry, so we all can remember that food can be as magical as gems and herbs and chants. __ Tsalagi Wadulisi Selu Gadu (English translation; 'Cherokee Honey Corn bread') __ 4 cups of yellow cornmeal 1 cup self rising flour 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup honey 2 cups whole cut corn 2 eggs Mix all items together, Form doughy batter into little round (wooden spoon-sized)balls. Fry in butter or butter flavored shortening for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. (Note: orginally bear fat would have been used instead of the butter, eggs, and milk.) --------------------- ~simplest fudge~ 1 bag chocolate chips 1 bag peanut butter chips 1 can eagle brand sweetened condensed milk 1 cup (or more, by preference) pecans or walnuts Mix eagle brand milk with both bags of chips, microwave for three minutes on high, stir until chips are smooth and melted, add nuts. You can put it in whatever dish you want, my dad wanted it thin, so she spread it out on a sprayed cookie sheet, I'd likely use waxed paper, makes clean up easier. ------------------------- Ginger's No-Bake Cheese Cake: Add together one pack of softened cream cheese and one box of powdered pudding mix,(Cheese cake flavor pudding or Chocolate pudding work great, Coconut Pudding is a good alternative!) and one cup of milk. Blend well ( This works best with a mixer or blender, not by hand) Pour into a gramm cracker crust. Chill for one hour if you can wait that long! best plan is to make 3 or 4 at once... they go fast! -------------------------- PUCKER YOUR MOUTH LEMON PIE (The one Ginger and her girls make for every APA event!) Combine; one 14 oz. can sweetened condenced milk 1 cup lemon juice 3 egg yolks Mix well pour into unbaked pie shell and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Garnish with mandrin orange slices and/or whipped cream and chill for one hour. --------------------------------- Ginger's Zucchini Bread Combine: 3 cups flour 1/2 cup white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 2 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice mix 1/4 tsp ginger Mix well then add 3 eggs 3/4 cup melted butter 3 tsp vanilla 2 cups grated zucchini 1/2 cup rasins 1 cup madarin oranges 1/2 cup grated carrot 1 cup crushed pecans mix well then thin out mixture with apple juice until it is a thin pourable dough. The amount needed will vary depending on the zucchini you are using's moisture level. Bake at 350 for 45 to 55 minutes. ------------------------------
