CARROT OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375*. Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with food release spray. Set aside.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour and oats. Sprinkle in the baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Mix thoroughly.
• 3. Stir in the brown sugar, mixing until well blended. Set aside.
• 4. Shred the carrots -- a fine shred is best. Add the shredded carrots and the raisins to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.
• 5. In a separate small bowl, combine the milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir to combine thoroughly.
• 6. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently, just until combined.
• 7. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 375* for 20-25 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test.
• 8. Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Slide the blade of a knife around the edge of the cups to loosen the muffins, and gently pry them out. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• 9. NOTES: 1) I recommend a DeMarle muffin pan! 2) If you don't have cardamom, just use all cinnamon. 3) You can use regular raisins if you don't have golden.

WATERMELON COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
• 2. Mix the watermelon Kool-Aid (or whatever flavor you choose) with the white sugar.
• 3. Add the softened butter and mix until it's nice and fluffy. Add the eggs and mix well.
• 4. Mix in the salt and the baking soda. Make sure they're well incorporated. Add the flour in half-cup increments, mixing after each addition.
• 5. Roll dough balls one inch in diameter with you hands.
• 6. Roll the cookie balls in the bowl of white sugar and place them on the cookie sheet, 12 to a standard-size sheet.
• 7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until they are just beginning to tun golden around the edges. Don't over-bake.
• 8. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheets for no more than a minute, and then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.

TOO EASY HOT DISH

Steps:

• 1. Spray a 9 inch x 13 inch cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. (I have also just lightly greased my pan with cooking oil or shortening.)
• 2. Put the meat in the bottom of the pan; spread it out as evenly as you can. Spread it out with your hands or the back of a spatula.
• 3. Add the two cans of cream of anything soup on top of the meat. Spread the soup evenly. (Use the soup fully condensed; DO NOT DILUTE.)
• 4. Put the frozen potatoes on top of the soup in a single layer and spread out evenly.
• 5. Spread cheese evenly over the potatoes.
• 6. Place, uncovered in a 400 degrees F. oven. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until the potatoes on top are browned and crispy. (If you use a glass pan, it may bake a little faster.)
• 7. NOTE: I season the meat before I add it, and I season my potatoes before adding them. I don't usually add much salt, but I do add a little to the meat and potatoes. We like LOTS of garlic, so I add garlic and onions to the meat.
