CAMELOT FANTASIES

There is a famous quote about food. I remember the quote but I don't know who said it first:


"There in no love more sincere than the love for food."
 

Barbecue Chicken Pizza                                                                                                                                                               1 pound ground chicken, 3/4 cup frozen corn kernels, 1/2 cup sliced green onions, 1/3 cup barbecue sauce, 1 package(14ozs) Italian pizza crust (12 inches), 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6ozs).                                               Preheat oven to 425F. In nonstick skillet, cook ground chicken over medium-high heat until no longer pink, breaking meat up into chunks with the side of a spoon. Stir in frozen corn, green onions, and barbecue sauce; heat through. Place pizza crust on large cookie sheet. Spoon chicken mixture onto crust and sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake pizza 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut into wedges. (Tips from me; this pizza can be vegetarian also, omit ground chicken & use your favorite fresh veggies; also, sometimes I use fresh crumbled bacon instead of chicken & omit the corn & have it as a breakfast pizza, which is very healthy. It is 395 calories & 27 grams of protein.) Enjoy & Blessings.

Total Time:25 hr 35 minPrep:35 minInactive:24 hrCook:1 hr

Yield:1 cake or 3 (9-inch) layers.  Level:Easy



Ingredients



2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 fresh whole eggs
2 cups pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Cake Ingredients: Frosting Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture and blend well. Fold in carrots and chopped nuts until well blended. Distribute batter evenly into 3 (9-inch) cake layer pans, which have been generously greased. There will be approximately 1 pound 5 ounces of batter per pan. Place in preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Cool layers in pans, for approximately 1 hour. Store layers in pans, inverted, in closed cupboard to prevent drying. Layers must be a minimum of 1 day old.

To remove layers from baking pan, turn upside down, tap edge of pan on a hard surface. Center a 9-inch cake circle on top of revolving cake stand. Remove paper from bottom of layer cake. Place first layer, bottom side down, at center of cake stand. With a spatula, evenly spread approximately 3 1/2 ounces of frosting on the layer. Center second layer on top of first layer with topside down. Again with a spatula, evenly spread approximately 3 1/2 ounces of frosting on the layer. Center third layer on top of second layer with topside down. Using both hands, press firmly but gently, all layers together to get one firm cake. With spatula, spread remainder of frosting to cover top and sides of cake. Refrigerated until needed. Display on counter or cake stand with a plastic cover.

Filling and Icings:

In a suitable bowl of large mixer, place powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, and margarine. Beat at second speed until thoroughly blended. Hold refrigerated and use as needed.

Angel Lush with Pineapple                                                                                                                                                       1 package (4 serving size) Jell-O Vanilla Flavor instant pudding, 1 can (20 ozs) Dole crushed pineapple in juice (undrained), 1 cup thawed Cool-Whip topping, 1 package (10 oz) prepared round angel food cake, Seasonal Berries.         Mix dry pudding mix & pineapple with juice in medium bowl. Gently stir in whipped topping. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut cake horizontally into 3 layers. Place bottom cake layer (cut side up) on serving plate. Spread 1 1/3 cups of the pudding mixture onto cake layer; cover with middle cake layer; top with remaining cake layer, spreading remaining pudding mixture on top. Refrigerate at least 1 hour & top with fresh berries if desired. Makes 10 servings & only 3 ingredients. (Tip from me, I don't always add berries on top, I also use a whisk to break up any lumps in dry pudding before I add the pineapple & juice, it just insures the mixture not to be lumpy, also this is perfect for a Summer Barbecue or a large family gathering. It does need to be refrigerated). Enjoy & Blessings

Food Tips from Me; Soak a lemon in hot water for 15 minutes to yield more juice; Put Avocados in a brown paper bag in a warm place to speed up the ripening process; To reduce the foul odors when steaming broccoli, put a piece of lemon in the water while cooking; Place washed lettuce in the freezer for 10 minutes to increase its crispness; to get the onion smell off your hands, I rub my hands along the stainless steel handle of a knife-it has to be solid stainless steel, it removes the odors every time for me, also if you are experiencing little ants coming inside since it's so hot, I place plain talcum powder where I see them at-they won't cross the talcum powder; if you have extra chicken stock-fill up ice cube trays with it- when you need it, you can take as many cubes as you need & always have it on hand; never place onions & potatoes near each other when storing; to make milk last longer, put 1 tsp baking soda in it & shake very well; I hope some of these tips are useful to you, I will be posting more every few days.
