			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chocolate and cookies go together like air and breathing, they are a perfect match. Now imagine those cookies are soft and chewy with a glass of milk or a couple of scoops of ice cream. Hmmm I have your mind going and dreaming about these cookies. And yes that&#8217;s what they do to you, make your feel good and that&#8217;s why chewy chocolate chip cookies are so popular. Once you have them you keep coming back for more, but be careful you don&#8217;t want to eat to much save some for later or my be a few for family and friends if you want to be nice. Companies have gain market shares in the cookie world because they started making these chewy chocolate chip cookies. Did you know that 25% of all cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip cookies. As you see Americans love chocolate chip cookies, my be you want to make your own, my be you want to show your kids or friends how to make some really good chewy chocolate chip cookies. If you want a big chewy cookie like the kind you see at bakeries and specialty shops, then these are the cookies for you.Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Cookies will spread as they bake and this ensures a more even spread. Allow cookies to cool before removing them from the baking sheet. It gives a tiny bit more tooth, and, I think, keeps the cookies chewy longer. It&#8217;s not the only chocolate chip cookie recipe I&#8217;ll use, but when you want a &#8220;big, fat, chewy chocolate chop cookie,&#8221; this is awesome. I have tried quite a few chocolate chip cookie recipes, and this is by far the BEST! Take the cookies out of the oven when the edges are just turning brown, leave on cookie sheet for a few min, and then let rest a bit longer to ensure best results. If you want these cookies to stay moist, put in sealed container after baking. Learn from my mistake Use (margarine) rather than butter in this recipe if you want thick cookies. This may be the perfect way for cookies to be, but all cookies are good fresh from the oven. Recipe Pre heat oven at 375 degrees in a large bowl beat the cooled melted butter with the sugars. Beat in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla until well-combined. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the margarine, sugars, salt, and vanilla until well combined. Beat in the egg Scrape down the bowl using a rubber spatula and beat for a few more seconds. Beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined. Add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed just until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the corn syrup, water, and vanilla. Reduce speed to medium-low and add in eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until well incorporated. Reduce speed to lowest setting or gently stir by hand , gradually add in dry ingredients, scraping down bowl as necessary, and beating until just incorporated, don&#8217;t over mix. Ingredients 2 1/8 cups unsifted all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda 12 T. margarine, melted and cooled until warm 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg plus 1 yolk 2 tsp. vanilla extract (pure, real!) 1-2 cups semi-or bittersweet chocolate chips/chunks 2tsp. corn syrup Place on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. Makes 1 1/2 dozen very large cookies. For more information go to http://www.Teegoes.com </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In just ten minutes you can cut half the fat out of your best recipes while boosting nutrition- guaranteed! And you donâ??t even have to alter the baking method OR the taste. </p>
<p>How would you like to be able to cut out half the fat from your favorite recipes? And what if you could do it without altering the taste or baking method? </p>
<p>It would be a cookâ??s dream! And now, the solution is finally within your grasp. One simple ingredient can cut half the butter/oil/shortening from your recipes. If you can use a measuring spoon, you can unlock all the delightful health and cooking secrets of the greatest new addition to baking. </p>
<p>What could be so amazing, and how does it work? </p>
<p>Please allow me to explain the Chia Seed to you. You may have already heard of Chia, in the form of a Chia Pet. Indeed, these are the very same seedsâ?¦only these seeds are 100% natural, selected and packaged for food grade consumption. Donâ??t dismiss these as some novelty, though! Food-grade chia is serious business for your health and cooking. Carefully selected plants produce a mixture of black and white seeds for optimized nutrition. Every tiny seed is packed with fiber, omega-3 oil, anti-oxidants, complete protein, and so much more. </p>
<p>So you may be saying to yourself â??Sure, these sound healthy, but what does this have to do with my most delicious brownie recipe?â? Thatâ??s the next step, and one of the unique features of Chia. When you mix the seeds with water or any other liquid, they hydrate. This means that each seed will form a big bead of gel around the outside; which is made of whatever liquid you hydrated them in. The gel has the consistency of a gelatin snack, and is not easily removed from the seedâ??s surface. You can actually watch the process in action with the following recipe. </p>
<p>Chia Gel&#8221; title=&#8221;Chia Gel&#8221;&gt;Chia Gel Recipe:1 tbsp dry Chia seeds9 tbsp filtered water (or other liquid)Stir together the Chia and water with a fork, to prevent clumping. Leave the mixture alone for 10-15 minutes on the counter top. When you return, the bowl or glass will not be full of water any more. Instead, you will see a thick gelatin, with the seeds suspended inside. It will slide, but not pour. Youâ??ve turned 1 tablespoon of seeds into 9 tablespoons of useful gel. This is Chia Gel, and it can be used instead of butter or oil in recipes. </p>
<p>Chia gel is as easy to use as butter or oil. It will keep for 1 week in a covered container in the refrigerator. (if you donâ??t cover it, it will dry up) Simply scoop the gel with a tablespoon measure, and add it to your recipes just as you would butter. </p>
<p>Why does it work so well?Chia Seeds donâ??t have any flavor of their own. Instead, they take on the taste of whatever you add them to, and distribute that flavor. In that way, they can actually amplify flavors, and make your cooking even MORE delicious! But, be sure to use filtered water when you hydrate the seeds, or any unsavory flavors in your tap-water will be magnified. The healthy omega-3 oils and soluble fiber gelling action go to work moistening and enhancing the tastes in your recipe. </p>
<p>For example:If â??Grandmaâ??s Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookiesâ? recipe calls for 8 tablespoons of butter, use 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of chia gel. Bake the cookies just as you normally would. </p>
<p>Are there any side effects?No, there are only side-benefits! The exterior of the Chia seed holds on to moisture, ensuring your baked goods donâ??t dry out while cooking, and stay moist and rich-tasting for longer. These seeds also have high levels of anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants are more than good for your body, theyâ??re natureâ??s healthy preservative. They are what allows the seed to be dry-stored safely for over 2 years, without ever going rancid, or decreasing in effectiveness. Donâ??t try that with flax or millet, theyâ??ll go rancid as the oils inside spoil! Itâ??s these same anti-oxidants that keep food baked with chia fresh for longer periods. </p>
<p>B-vitamins in my banana bread?Itâ??s not as far-fetched as youâ??d think. Baked goods like muffins, cookies and breads are usually considered for dessertâ?¦and theyâ??re not considered to be loaded with nutrition. While Chia seeds canâ??t turn your pancakes into the nutritional equivalent of broccoli, they can add extra nutrition to the things you already like to eat. You donâ??t even have to cook with them, you can just sprinkle them onto any food thatâ??s â??wetâ?? enough so that the seeds donâ??t just bounce right off. What exactly do you add to foods when you add chia?Anti-oxidants- for heart health and to combat inflammationA full range of b-vitamins- necessary for energy23% complete protein- to build strong bodies, and keep your energy up6 times more calcium by weight than milk- for healthy bones in children &amp; adultsBoron- a trace mineral your body needs to effectively absorb calciumSoluble &amp; Insoluble fiber- reduce the risk of colon cancer, and help clean up the intestines to avoid problems like diverticulitis </p>
<p>No ordinary baked good can pack in all of the above, but when you start using chia, youâ??ll be able to add all that in, on top of cutting out half the fat. Itâ??s time to take your home-made foods to the next level with Chia Seeds. You can easily use them in your own recipes, or use easily available Chia Seed Recipes online too! You and your family deserve the best nutrition and the best flavor,Â  and you can get it right now with MySeeds Chia! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the school year, I am often asked to bake cupcakes for the school&#8217;s athletic events and for their bi-yearly bake sales. When I am considering what type of cupcakes to bake, I normally stay away from the classic flavors as they will receive plenty of those. If you are looking for something just a tad different, then I would like to suggest the following recipes.You can frost the first recipe with your favorite flavored frosting, however, the second recipe should be left plain with just the cherry topping. Every time I make these for the bake sale, they are a big hit.Chocolate Bottom Cupcakes1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened1 egg1/3 cup granulated sugar1/2 teaspoon salt8 ounce chocolate chips3 cups all-purpose flour1/2 cup cocoa powder2 cups granulated sugar2 teaspoons baking soda2 cup water2 tablespoons vinegar2/3 cup vegetable oilIn a small bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, egg, 1/3 cup sugar and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients together until well mixed. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Spoon batter into each liner approximately 1/2 full. Top that batter with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture. Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes or until done. This recipe will make 30-32 cupcakes.Cherry Cream Cheese Cupcakes3/4 cup granulated sugar2 (8 ounce) blocks cream cheese, softened2 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 tablespoon lemon juice1/2 box vanilla wafers1 large can cherry pie fillingIn a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened cream cheese. Add in the eggs, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Beat mixture with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Place 1 vanilla wafer in each of the liners and then spoon batter on top, filling the liner 3/4 of the way full. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15-18 minutes or until done. Let cupcakes completely cool and then spread cherry pie filling on top.Transporting: If you do not have a plastic cupcake transporting container, I suggest you purchase some aluminum pans with covers from your local discount store. To keep them stable during transporting, place a piece of rubber matting (like rubber shelf and drawer liner) inside each pan. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bundt cake recipes are cake recipes that use a &#8220;bundt&#8221; cake pan or a round baking pan that with a hole in the middle and ridged, decorated sides. Bundt cake recipes use a dense cake such as a butter or pound cake recipe. These cakes are sturdy and last well. Recipes often call for a simple glaze or fruit topping. The name Bundt comes from the German word bund, which means &#8220;a gathering of people.&#8221;<br />
Bundt cake recipes have grown in popularity since 1966 when a &#8220;Tunnel of Fudge&#8221; cake recipe used a bundt pan to win second place at a Pillsbury sponsored baking contest. Bundt cake recipes have since been quite popular and bundt cake pan sales have increased.<br />
Because bundt cakes are baked in these intricate pans, there can be mishaps when turning the pan upside down and seperating the cake from the pan, ruining a wonderful cake. These mishaps can be avoided by following a few simple steps.<br />
In order to stop your bundt cake from sticking when you turn it upside down you must prepare the pan by brushing it with vegetable shortening and a dusting of flour, alternatively use a non-stick spray with flour, stay away from sprays that contain lecithin as is will leave a residue. If you use the first method, tap the pan lightly over the sink to get rid of surplus flour.<br />
You want the structure of your cake to be consistent throughout so you must avoid trapping air bubbles in the batter. This can be done by pouring the batter slowly, allowing it to fill the crevices of the bundt pan. It is prudent to only fill the pan ¾ of the way to allow the batter to rise. Use a spatula to press batter into the detailed walls of the bundt pan. Lightly wobbling the filled pan and tapping it against the counter will allow any remaining air bubbles to escape.<br />
The cake should be placed in the center of the oven to allow for air circulation and even cooking. If the pan is dark colored it will absorb heat more quickly and the cooking temperature should be reduced 25 degrees fahrenheit from what the recipe calls for.<br />
Once the cake has finished baking the correct time, let it cool for 10 minutes. If you turn the cake over now and it is stuck to the pan it may break so be sure to wobble the pan to indicate if it is loose. The cake should move freely from side to side letting you know it is ready to turn over. If the cake is sticking around the sides use a butter knife to gently pry the cake from the sides. Then turn the pan over on to a cooling rack and allow to fully cool.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In just ten minutes you can cut half the fat out of your best recipes while boosting nutrition- guaranteed! And you donâ??t even have to alter the baking method OR the taste. </p>
<p>How would you like to be able to cut out half the fat from your favorite recipes? And what if you could do it without altering the taste or baking method? </p>
<p>It would be a cookâ??s dream! And now, the solution is finally within your grasp. One simple ingredient can cut half the butter/oil/shortening from your recipes. If you can use a measuring spoon, you can unlock all the delightful health and cooking secrets of the greatest new addition to baking. </p>
<p>What could be so amazing, and how does it work? </p>
<p>Please allow me to explain the Chia Seed to you. You may have already heard of Chia, in the form of a Chia Pet. Indeed, these are the very same seedsâ?¦only these seeds are 100% natural, selected and packaged for food grade consumption. Donâ??t dismiss these as some novelty, though! Food-grade chia is serious business for your health and cooking. Carefully selected plants produce a mixture of black and white seeds for optimized nutrition. Every tiny seed is packed with fiber, omega-3 oil, anti-oxidants, complete protein, and so much more. </p>
<p>So you may be saying to yourself â??Sure, these sound healthy, but what does this have to do with my most delicious brownie recipe?â? Thatâ??s the next step, and one of the unique features of Chia. When you mix the seeds with water or any other liquid, they hydrate. This means that each seed will form a big bead of gel around the outside; which is made of whatever liquid you hydrated them in. The gel has the consistency of a gelatin snack, and is not easily removed from the seedâ??s surface. You can actually watch the process in action with the following recipe. </p>
<p>Chia Gel&#8221; title=&#8221;Chia Gel&#8221;&gt;Chia Gel Recipe:1 tbsp dry Chia seeds9 tbsp filtered water (or other liquid)Stir together the Chia and water with a fork, to prevent clumping. Leave the mixture alone for 10-15 minutes on the counter top. When you return, the bowl or glass will not be full of water any more. Instead, you will see a thick gelatin, with the seeds suspended inside. It will slide, but not pour. Youâ??ve turned 1 tablespoon of seeds into 9 tablespoons of useful gel. This is Chia Gel, and it can be used instead of butter or oil in recipes. </p>
<p>Chia gel is as easy to use as butter or oil. It will keep for 1 week in a covered container in the refrigerator. (if you donâ??t cover it, it will dry up) Simply scoop the gel with a tablespoon measure, and add it to your recipes just as you would butter. </p>
<p>Why does it work so well?Chia Seeds donâ??t have any flavor of their own. Instead, they take on the taste of whatever you add them to, and distribute that flavor. In that way, they can actually amplify flavors, and make your cooking even MORE delicious! But, be sure to use filtered water when you hydrate the seeds, or any unsavory flavors in your tap-water will be magnified. The healthy omega-3 oils and soluble fiber gelling action go to work moistening and enhancing the tastes in your recipe. </p>
<p>For example:If â??Grandmaâ??s Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookiesâ? recipe calls for 8 tablespoons of butter, use 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of chia gel. Bake the cookies just as you normally would. </p>
<p>Are there any side effects?No, there are only side-benefits! The exterior of the Chia seed holds on to moisture, ensuring your baked goods donâ??t dry out while cooking, and stay moist and rich-tasting for longer. These seeds also have high levels of anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants are more than good for your body, theyâ??re natureâ??s healthy preservative. They are what allows the seed to be dry-stored safely for over 2 years, without ever going rancid, or decreasing in effectiveness. Donâ??t try that with flax or millet, theyâ??ll go rancid as the oils inside spoil! Itâ??s these same anti-oxidants that keep food baked with chia fresh for longer periods. </p>
<p>B-vitamins in my banana bread?Itâ??s not as far-fetched as youâ??d think. Baked goods like muffins, cookies and breads are usually considered for dessertâ?¦and theyâ??re not considered to be loaded with nutrition. While Chia seeds canâ??t turn your pancakes into the nutritional equivalent of broccoli, they can add extra nutrition to the things you already like to eat. You donâ??t even have to cook with them, you can just sprinkle them onto any food thatâ??s â??wetâ?? enough so that the seeds donâ??t just bounce right off. What exactly do you add to foods when you add chia?Anti-oxidants- for heart health and to combat inflammationA full range of b-vitamins- necessary for energy23% complete protein- to build strong bodies, and keep your energy up6 times more calcium by weight than milk- for healthy bones in children &amp; adultsBoron- a trace mineral your body needs to effectively absorb calciumSoluble &amp; Insoluble fiber- reduce the risk of colon cancer, and help clean up the intestines to avoid problems like diverticulitis </p>
<p>No ordinary baked good can pack in all of the above, but when you start using chia, youâ??ll be able to add all that in, on top of cutting out half the fat. Itâ??s time to take your home-made foods to the next level with Chia Seeds. You can easily use them in your own recipes, or use easily available Chia Seed Recipes online too! You and your family deserve the best nutrition and the best flavor,Â  and you can get it right now with MySeeds Chia! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for a special dessert cake for your next family gathering or holiday party, I would like to suggest this recipe. I really enjoy making it all year long but it is a family favorite during the Christmas Holiday.Once you are done baking and icing your cake, you will want to store it in an airtight cake container in your refrigerator and remove it approximately 1 hour before serving time.Red Velvet Dessert Cake Recipe1 1/2 cups granulated sugar2 eggs1/2 cup shortening2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1 cup buttermilk1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon white vinegar1 teaspoon table salt1 tablespoon cocoa powder2 ounces red food coloringIn a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and shortening; slowly stir in the eggs and mix well.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you enjoy coconut and are looking for a delicious dessert cake that you can make and serve all year long, then I think you should try this recipe.What I really like about this pound cake recipe is that it&#8217;s moist and not on the dry side like most other recipes. I prefer to use real butter as I am not much of a margarine fan, but you can decide to use either one.Coconut Pound Cake6 eggs1 cup vegetable shortening1/2 cup butter or margarine3 cups granulated sugar1/2 teaspoon almond extract1/2 teaspoon coconut extract3 cups sifted cake flour1 cup cold milk2 cups flaked coconutUsing an egg separator, separate the yolk from the egg whites. Place the egg whites into a large mixing bowl and the yolks into another large mixing bowl. Let your egg whites sit for 15 minutes to warm them up. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 10&#8243; round tube cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks at high speed with the shortening and margarine, until creamy and smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in the almond and coconut extracts until well blended.At low mixing speed, slowly beat in the flour, milk and flaked coconut until the ingredients are combined. Do not over beat! In your other bowl that contains the egg whites, beat them with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the egg whites to the cake batter until all ingredients are combined.Pour batter into your greased tube pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until done. Cool cake in the pan for 20 minutes before removing it to cool on a wire rack. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Hungarian coffee cake recipe was given to me 25 years ago by my grandmother who loved to cook and bake. The cake does take some time to make&#8230;as you are making it completely from scratch. What I really enjoy about this recipe is the combined sweet and nutty taste. When dissolving the yeast, make sure you use warm (not hot) water. If the water is too hot, you will kill the yeast and won&#8217;t get a good rise to your dough.Ingredients:2 cups warm water (not hot)2 packages of dry yeast1/4 cup vegetable shortening1/2 cup granulated sugar2 teaspoons salt1 egg6 1/2 to 7 cups of all-purpose flourIn a large mixing bowl, dissolve both packets of yeast with the warm water and let sit for 1 minute. Add in the vegetable shortening, granulated sugar, salt, egg and half of the all-purpose flour. Mix with a spoon until the dough is smooth, adding enough of the remaining flour to thicken it up until its of a dough consistency. You might have to use your hands.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured dough board and knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough into a well-greased bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Let it rise until it has doubled in size.Additional Ingredients:1/2 cup butter, melted3/4 cup granulated sugar1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 cup finely chopped nuts2 cups of raisinsIn a small bowl, combined the granulated sugar, cinnamon and finely chopped nuts and set aside.Cut dough into pieces the size of walnuts and shape into small balls. Roll each ball in melted butter, then the cinnamon, sugar and nut mixture. Place one layer of balls so they are barely touching&#8230;in a well greased 10&#8243; round tube pan. Sprinkle with a layer of raisins and then add another layer of dough balls; sprinkle with another layer of raisins. Cover the tube pan and let rise for 45 minutes. (You might have to press down on the dough to fit them all into the baking pan).Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and invert pan so that the butter and sugar mixture runs down over the cake. </p>
