Peggy, WA (3:26:08 pm) : Junior Kamikaze Jell-O

Small box of Lime Jell-O
1 cup boiling Ginger Ale
1 cup cold Ginger Ale

1 1/2 cups milk.......................1/2 stick butter salt and pepper

Peggy, WA (3:47:41 pm) : "COMFORT CHILI"

1 pound lean ground white turkey

3 large cloves of garlic-minced

1 medium yellow onion-chopped

1/2 medium red bell pepper-chopped

1/2 medium green bell pepper-chopped

1/4 cup celery-chopped

1 14.5 ounce can of stewed tomatoes

1 15 ounce can of red kidney beans

1 envelope of packaged chili seasoning

1 6 ounce can of tomato paste

2 1/4 cups of water (3 tomato paste cans full)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon sugar

Non-stick cooking spray

Prepare by spraying a large cooking pan with the non-stick spray. On
medium-high heat, combine
turkey, garlic, onion, red and green peppers. Stir constantly, finely
separating the meat and allowing it
to brown. When the meat browns, add the chili seasoning packet, and all
other spices. When
thoroughly mixed, add stewed tomatoes, beans, paste, and water. Slow cook on
medium low for 30
minutes. If you're really hungry, fifteen will do.

The longer it cooks, the better the flavor. It's at its best if you let it
sit in the refrigerator overnight and
serve it the next day. You should end up with seven one-cup servings.
Garnish individual servings with
a tablespoon of non-fat sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped green onions
and non-fat cheddar
cheese.

Comfort foods are a real body and soul experience. On a cold evening a hot
bowl of chili goes a long
way towards satisfying the appetite, while soothing away the stresses of the
day. Don't get me wrong:
I'm not recommending food as a source of stress relief. There are some
foods, however, that are
reminiscent of hearth and home and subsequently they comfort us with all the
good feelings those
images provoke.

This recipe, with each one cup serving at 220 calories and 2.18 grams of
fat, is one food that will warm
your soul without adding dimension to your body.

Risa G., NJ (9:55:51 pm) : Here is the recipe for my famous pumpkin
chocolate chip pecan cookies:

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 50 (according to recipe but I always
seem to make more)

2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. each salt, ground cloves, allspice and
nutmeg
1 c. quick cooking oatmeal
1-1/2 c. unsalted butter, soft*
1 c. each dark brown sugar and granulated
sugar
1 c. unsweetened pumpkin puree
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1-1/2 c. chopped pecans

Sift together the flour, baking soda and
spices, then mix in the oatmeal. Set aside.

In the large bowl of an electric mixer (or I use a food processor), cream
the butter, then beat in the sugars, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract and egg.

Add the flour-oats mixture.

Place batter in a large bowl and add chips and nuts. Mix well.

Chill the dough for 1 hour. Drop the dough in rounded tablespoons on
well-greased cookie sheets, spacing them 2" apart. Bake each
sheet on the middle level of a preheated 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes
until lightly browned.

Remove immediately and transfer to cooking racks to cool completely. Store
in an airtight container at room temperature.**

Notes:
* I used all Crisco last year and the cookies came out better than ever.

** I also freeze them in ziploc bags and they freeze really well.
Bake thawed in a preheated oven 10-15 minutes or until browned.
