I bought cube steaks on sale. Any ideas on how to fix them would be wonderful. Crockpot or oven recipes would be great.
Thanks!

Is there a cake frosting with little or no sugar? Our school has just banned any snack that is more than 50% sugar. The moms are struggling with what to send on birthdays -- any suggestions? I'm not fond of sugar substitutes.

One bowl. No beating. Just mix and bake!
On a busy day, you need a quick and simple cookie recipe. This is as simple as it gets: melt the butter in the microwave, stir in the ingredients, and bake. They're good and loaded with oatmeal that makes them chewy and wholesome.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two baking sheets. In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Add the sugar and stir. Add the eggs and stir until smooth. Add the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With a large, sturdy spoon stir in the ingredients, adding the chocolate chips, part way through stirring. Form golf ball sized mounds on the baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies just start to brown. Remove from the oven, let sit for two minutes, and then remove the cookies to wire racks to cool.
Note: The dough will become stiffer as it cools. If it is too stiff, instead of scooping mounds of dough with a spoon, use your hands to make loose balls.

Reserve 1 egg white and mix remainder of ingredients together. Form into balls. Brush with beaten egg white and roll in flour. Bake at 350 degrees F until brown or fry in deep fat. A good way to use up leftover ham and mashed potatoes!

Homemade Southern Red Beans and Rice, Mary's Favorite
Rinse and sort beans and place into a deep pot, adding water to cover beans plus about an inch or so. Do not add any seasonings or salt! Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes uncovered, turn off heat, cover and let soak for one hour.
Meanwhile chop all of your veggies. Melt butter in a skillet; add onion, bell pepper, and celery and saute until tender. Meanwhile, slice sausage into about 1/4-inch rounds. Toss the garlic, black and red pepper and basil into the vegetable mixture and let seasoning meld with the veggies for a few minutes, stirring.
Drain and rinse beans and put them back into pot; add about 1-1/2 quarts of fresh water. Dump entire contents of veggie skillet into pot of beans, toss in the bay leaves and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
Meanwhile, put about a teaspoon of olive oil into the same pan you used to saute the veggies, and heat over medium high heat. Toss in the sliced sausage and cook until nicely browned, about 15 minutes.
Dump into beans. Simmer beans for about 1-1/2 to 2 hours, uncovered, or until tender and nicely thickened. Taste and add salt if needed. Do not add salt until the beans are done! Salt tends to both toughen the beans and also makes them take longer to cook. Scoop beans over hot, cooked rice and serve with hot buttered rolls or better yet, a big slice of hot buttered cornbread. Yum!
*Yes, that is a whole stick! This isn't a low fat recipe. The butter adds richness to the beans and makes them very creamy and just super delish. You can try to do without it, but I just can't recommend it. :)
**I usually have a mix of green, yellow and red bell peppers that I slice and freeze, so I often use this mix instead of the fresh green bell pepper. Either way the bell pepper is key to the flavor so don't skip this veggie!
