Receta Heavenly Mini Blueberry Splenda Pies ~ in Muffin Tins!
Blueberries
“You ought to have seen what I saw on my way
To the village, through Mortenson’s pasture to-day:
Blueberries as big as the end of your thumb,
Real sky-blue, and heavy, and ready to drum
In the cavernous pail of the first one to come!
And all ripe together, not some of them green
And some of them ripe! You ought to have seen!” Robert Frost When summertime rolls around, I’m thrilled ~ warm weather, sunshine and Blueberries!
The aroma of these little pies baking was mouthwatering!
I’m always on the lookout for blueberry recipes, and now can't remember where this one came from.
I mixed Splenda with the fruit instead of sugar, it measures the same as sugar. I didn’t tell Bill it was made with Splenda until later; he didn’t notice a difference with Splenda, and neither did I.
For the filling, I added a splash of lemon juice, and a couple of pinches of cinnamon.
The pies are easy peasy to pull together, but to make them even easier, use Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crust. You’ll be eating dessert in a flash!
Baked in a muffin tin, the pies are a perfect-size yummy dessert or snack!
These blueberry pies a great dessert for anyone who needs/likes a dessert with low sugar.
It’s hard to eat just one!

Are you in the mood for chicken tonight? If you are, here’s a great recipe for it! Everyone seems to love chicken and there are several things I like about this recipe: the ease of preparation, just a few simple ingredients and no sacrifice of the flavor because it is simple. It tastes mmm mmm good! This dish is great for a weeknight meal or company also. Just dip the chicken breasts into beaten eggs, coat them with the Parmesan bread crumb mixture, drizzle with the spicy, garlicky Robusto Italian dressing and pop them into the oven. They come out baked to perfection, being fork tender. I served it with rice and a crisp mesclun salad. Italian-Style Baked Chicken Breast Printable recipe

It’s that time of year when I like pulling out the slow cooker and
letting it cook dinner for us! Thisslightly adapted recipe is from Trisha Yearwood’s Home Cooking
cookbook. Not only can she sing,
she can evidently cook very well also.
Her cookbooks are filled with down-home simple recipes that would appeal
to most anyone. We really like pork and I really like the slow-cooker, so this
recipe is a win win! It has the right
mix of ingredients with its spicy rub, chicken broth, lemon juice and soy
sauce. The pork is fall apart tender
and delicious Trisha says, “ Before I found this recipe, my attempts at
cooking pork loin usually began with high hopes and ended with dry, overcooked
meat. The secret is the
slow-cooking crockpot. Spices in
the rub get a chance to really flavor the loin, and it doesn’t dry out. In fact, it’s so tender that it
actually falls apart!” The singer/cook is right ~ it is scrumptious! I hope you try it and like it as
much as we do! Slow-cooker Pork Loin in …
You’re probably asking why would anyone bother to make their own summer sausage. The reason is, because it is so very delicious!
The flavor of Bubba's home made sausage is much better than the store bought version, cheaper also and you know exactly what it consists of. You control the ingredients ~ no added chemicals~ and flavor it as you like. It reminds me of growing up on the farm with Dad making our own pork sausage, not similar to supermarket sausage at all. Our older son, known as Bubba here on my blog, has been refining his summer sausage recipe and has hit on the exact proportions for it. It's easy to pull together, it just takes time; requiring 5 days to cure.
There is no casing involved. Do not use a grade of ground beef with very low fat content as the result will be dry and crumbly. Do not substitute any other salt for the Morton Tender Quick Cure ~ it is not the same thing! It’s a great summer sausage that you just slice and serve with cheese and crackers or …
On my September
27th post, I told you I would be baking the Lemon Pound Cake recipe
from the Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook
that Bill had been yearning for. I
finally got around to baking it and now I’m trying to figure out what took me
so long… You know how
foodies say, “I swear, it’s the best I’ve ever eaten?” Sometimes I try the recipe, sometimes I don’t. Everyone’s taste is different and you just never
know; however, I can honestly say, “this
Lemon Pound Cake is the best pound cake I have ever eaten in my life.” And Bill echoes the same. NO LIE!!!
It is outstanding!!! Here’s what
Kathleen King, the owner and founder of Tate’s Bake Shop, says about her cake, “The
lemon flavor really comes through in my lemon pound cake. It keeps well and freezes well, and is
exceptional on its own or with fresh berries and cream.” Here’s what I say
about it: Enjoy it on its own! If you
love lemon and love pound cake, you will fall hard for this one! It’s so good that after having a slice of it,

It’s a “Mexican potato” that is in season year-round, looks
like a turnip; has either tan, brown or gray skin, with a crisp juicy, refreshing, slightly white,
flesh on the inside, resembling an apple.
It’s as easy as a potato to peel and I’ve discovered, it’s just as good
roasted as it is raw.It’s jicama ~ Spanish: hee-kah-mah. Jicama is traditionally served raw, dunked in chili powder,
lime and salt to boost its mild flavor; or in a salsa or salad.I’ve only had jicama raw, in a salsa,
so I had a big surprise when I bit into a slice of roasted jicama! A friend, Yvonne, gave me this recipe
and I’m glad she did. Jicama is quick and easy to roast, and
retains its crispy crunch and sweetness when it comes out of the oven. Thinly slice it, dredge with a spicy
mixture and roast it to a crunchy chip-like texture. Roasted jicama is a great substitute for potato chips! Here are some jicama tips: Choose jicama with smooth, thin unblemished skins, a slight
shine is an indication of freshness. Se…
