Thanks all who posted polenta recipes. I'm going to try it soon, probably

Sharon,
This sounds like what you are talking about. Just saw it in BH&G - this
month's issue.
Quick-as-a-Bunny Egg Nests
Prepare one batch of Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats Recipe as shown on the
box. Add 1/2 cup green tinted coconut. Shape mixture into 16 three inch
nests. Fill cooled nests with miniature marshmallows, jelly beans or
chocolate eggs. To make a chocolate variation, substitute Cocoa Krispies
(and use regular).
Note: The picture looked like they "lined" the nest with the green coconut
(in addition to mixing it in the rice krispie mixture), like using Easter
grass.
Very cute!
Hope this helps!
Lynette

Hi, Dail!
Your SO's mother may want to call the local chapter of The American
Diabetes Association in her area--I think the national organization also
has a "1-800" number, but unfortunately, I don't have it here at home.
Both sell Diabetic Exchange publications, for (usually) not a lot of
money. Or, she might contact her doctor, or a dietitian practicing in
her area.
I can give you a *very* brief outline of the Exchange lists, but the
lists are too extensive to send by e-mail, plus the number of exchanges
in each food category that she may be allowed will depend on the calorie
level of the diet she's following.
Briefly, then....
1 Fruit Exchange= 1/2 cup unsweetened fruit juice, or 1 medium-size piece
fresh fruit, or 1/2 cup canned fruit (canned in fruit juice, or water)
1 Starch/Bread Exchange= 1 slice bread (white, wheat, rye, etc.)
= 3/4 cup unsweetened cold cereal, or 1/2 cup
cooked cereal (measured AFTER it's been cooked)
=1/2 cup cooked pasta
=1/3 cup cooked rice
=1/2 cup peas, corn, mashed potatoes, sweet
potatoes, winter squash, lima beans\
= 1 small baked potato
= 1/2 small bagel, or 1/2 English muffin
1 Meat Exchange = 1 oz. chicken, beef, pork, turkey, fish, etc.
= 1 oz. low-fat cheese
= 1 egg, or 1/4 cup egg substitute
1 Vegetable Exchange= 1/2 cup cooked vegetables (excluding the starchy
ones, above) or 1 cup raw vegetables
1 Milk Exchange= 1 cup milk (usually, 2% or skim)
= 1 cup sugar-free yogurt (not frozen yogurt)
1 Fat Exchange = 1 teaspoon butter or margarine
= 1 Tblsp. diet or light margarine
= 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
= 1 strip bacon
As I said, this is very brief, and obviously, there are lots of other
foods available out there, that are not listed here. Hope this helps to
at least get her started......Good luck!

Hi, everyone!
I tried the recipe posted by Marietta and Joel for Double-Treat
cookies--they are delicious with a Capital D!! I'm addicted to them. I
brought some in to share with my co-workers, and instantly became
everyone's best friend ;-). Two of my co-workers are veteran
cookie-and-dessert bakers, and were quite impressed with the
"professional-looking" appearance of the cookies (as well as the taste!).
Needless to say, they haven't lasted long....thanks for a keeper,
Marietta!

Oops! That should read "(and use regular coconut)" after the chocolate
variation instructions.

and it had three jelly beans in it (jelly bellies, no less.)"
These sound like the cornflake wreath ingredients
(cornflakes, marshmallow fluff, et cetera), omitting the red
hots, not dyeing them green, and shaping in muffin tins to
form nests. (You could probably use the recipe for Rice
Krispie Treats, too. It is on the box of Rice Krispies.)
Before the mixture has hardened, add some green-tinted coconut
to simulate grass, a few jelly beans or jelly bellies on top,
and a marshmallow chick in the middle.
If you add a few colors of jelly beans, there is a nice poem
you can use if everyone in the class is Christian, but _ONLY_
if _EVERYONE_ is Christian.
JELLY BEAN PRAYER
"Red is for the blood He gave,
Green is for the grass He made,
Yellow is for the sun so bright,
Orange is for the edge of night.
Black is for the sins that were made,
White is for the grace He gave,
Purple is for the hour of sorrow,
Pink is for the new tomorrow.
A nest full of jelly beans,
colorful and sweet,
Is a prayer ... is a promise ...
Is an Easter treat!"
I hope that this helps. These are really cute. The only
"trick" is to make sure to add the coconut and candies before
the mixture has hardened, so it will hold them in place.

These must have been posted before I joined this list.
If it is not too much trouble, would someone please be so
kind as to EMail it to me (or post it to the list if you
think that others would be interested as well)?
Thank you _VERY_ much.
