Scones made by Kathy

Kathy took a short-cut and used a mix from Heinen's called Sticky Fingers Scones.  They were very good. 





Strawberry Cranberry Jello Salad made by Andrea

2 3 oz. packages strawberry jello
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 package frozen strawberries
1 can crushed pineapple
1 can cranberries or can use frozen ones
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Cream layer:
1 package cream cheese
1 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 container Cool Whip
1 Tbsp. vanilla

Dissolve the jello in boiling water and add the strawberries and stir gently.  Add the pineapple, cranberries and nuts and stir gently again.  Pour half of the mixture into a glass dish, bowl, or mold.  Chill until set.  You may need to keep stirring the reserved half so it will not gel.  Combine the cream layer ingredients and gently spread over the set layer.  Top with the reserved mixture and chill until firmly set.  Cook's note:  This is the standard cranberry dish for our family Thanksgiving feast every year.



Beautifully Arranged Pineapple made by Joanne

Joanne shows us how she serves fresh pineapple to her family.  Now how pretty is that? 


Blueberry Strata made by Connie - Sorry my picture is floating somewhere in cyberspace along with the coffee cake picture.

12 slices of French bread, cut into 1" cubes
2 8 oz. cream cheese, cubed
1 cup fresh blueberries
12 large eggs
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 cups milk

Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.  Add 1/2 cubed bread.  Scatter cream cheese cubes and blueberries over the bread.  Top with remaining bread.  Combine eggs, milk, and syrup and pour over the bread.  Press bread down so that all bread cubes become saturated with the egg mixture.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.  Bake at 350 degrees covered for 30 minutes, remove the cover and bake for another 30 minutes.


Nancy's Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake

Cake:
1 package plain butter recipe golden cake mix
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla

Topping:
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon


Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  Lightly spray 2 9" round pans or 1 9 x 13 pan with vegetable oil spray and then dust with flour.  Put the cake mix, sour cream, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are incorporated, about 30 seconds.  Scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula and increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the mixture lightens and is smooth, about 2 minutes longer.  Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pans.  Make the topping by comgining the brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon in a small bowl.  Spoon half of the topping over the batter.  Pour the remaining cake batter over the topping and and then spoon the rest of the topping on the top.  Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown and when lightly pressed with a finger they will spring back.  Let the cakes sit until nearly cool, about 20 minutes.  Serve the cakes while still a bit warm.
