  • Help! Made Cactus Apple Jelly last night and used Splenda instead of regular sugar, it didn’t jell when I checked it this morning. Anything I can do to salvage my 24 jars?

  • Maybe this is the one you are looking for, my family loves this one.

    8 oz dry pinto beans (1 1/4 cups)
    1 lb chicken breasts (2 cups cooked)
    1 can (4 oz) chopped greeen chilies

Combine the chicken with the chilies and seasonings; refrigerate until needed. At the same time, combine beans, water, bouillon cubes, garlic, salt and onion in a large pot; bring to a boil.

  • You probably already have this one, but an easy raspberry chipotle sauce that I make frequently is one jar of raspberry preserves and about one and half tablespoon of canned chipotle peppers, more or less to taste.
    Love your site. It’s a wealth of information!!

  • This is a combination of my mom’s cheesecake recipe and one I found online. I you enjoy it!

    Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake:
    16oz. cream cheese - softened
    1/2 c. plain yogurt
    1/3 c. confectioners sugar
    1/4 c. sugar
    2 large eggs- room temp
    1 c. chocolate chips
    2 t. mint extract

    -
    Mix cream cheese, and sugars until well blended. Beat in eggs and mint extract. Stir in yogurt and chocolate chips. Pour into prepared crust.

    Crust:
    Crushed oreos ( 1/2 pkg more or less)
    Melted butter (1 stick-ish :D )
    Combine and press into 8 inch cheesecake pan.

    Bake at 300 for 1 hr. Let cool in oven for a while before removing from pan. Serve chilled.

  • I love making (and eating) crab rangoons. It’s so simple. Just mix 1 can of crab meat, 1 or 2 small containers of cream cheese, (depending on how strong you want the crab taste), and some green onions.

    Lay out a wonton wrapper, and put about 1 tsp of mixture in the middle. Put some water on the rest of the wrapper with your finger, then close it up tight.

    You can deep fry them, just a few at a time, but sometimes, mine come apart. I usually fry them in a wok or small saucepan filled with just 2 inches of oil.
