 Okay, we bought an "Edible Arrangement" for a coworker at my office. Looking at all that fruit made me hungry. I wanted spicy. I looked around to get ideas... then played.

The loveliest thing about this recipe is any fresh fruit can be added. See below for more ideas!

Ingredients:
  • 5 strawberries, stems removed
  • 1 apple, cored and skin removed
  • 1 8-oz can pineapple, tidbits or crushed
  • 1 4-oz can peaches, chunks
  • 3 fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 lb fresh cantaloupe
  • 1/6 lb fresh honeydew melon
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup mojo sauce (Recipe here if unavailable)
Directions:
Chop all fruit into bite sized pieces. Finely chop the cilantro. Mix fruit, brown sugar, and mojo sauce in casserole dish or bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Serve cold with low salt chips or Cinnamon Tortilla Chips. It can also be used as a sauce for chicken or pork chops.

Can be substituted or added:
Kiwi fruit, mango (when in season), roma tomatoes, bananas, raspberries, fruit preserves, white onions, red onions, red peppers, yellow peppers, garlic, lime juice, sweet corn, black beans

 I need to preface this with a simple statement: I can cook, but I cannot bake. I try to bake, and you can guarantee someone will be having to clean out the oven because I've blown something up. This recipe may say bakestones, but there is no baking involved. This is all stove-top... so mostly no explosions.

And hey, I even get to use my bakestones icon appropriately! That's them in the picture!

Ingredients:
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups raisins
  • 2 eggs (or 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Directions:
Preheat a griddle to moderate heat 325 - 350 degrees F (165 - 175 degrees C). Grease lightly. (I usually use butter.)

Beat sugar and butter or margarine together, adding salt and baking powder. Beat in eggs. Add 2 cups of flour and raisins and mix. Then add the other two cups of flour. If it's too dry, add a little milk. If it's too wet, add a little flour.

Roll out about 1/4 inch thick and cut out cookies. I like a round shape for mine, but you can make other shapes if you want.

Place on a greased griddle and brown on both sides.

Substitutions:
1/2 cup of yellow Egg Beaters (or equivalent) can be used instead of 2 eggs.
