Recently some folks have brought bakery sheet cakes to various functions. I am in love with the new or alternate icing choice many of them bring. In the past these cakes were loaded with the sickening, sweet, slick, Crisco/powdered sugar version of decorator icing. Now, they often have a light, chilled topping instead. It does not appear to be a Cool Whip type product alone, but it might be Cool Whip mixed with something else. It is a light, cool refreshing taste. Does anyone have the recipe?

Keeping a Pie Crust from Shrinking
I read somewhere that I could fill a pie shell with beans using parchment paper to stop it from shrinking. I do not have any parchment paper. Is there any other method I can use? Pricking the shell and using cold pastry still allows the shell to shrink. The beans and paper work well, but I don't have the paper.

Eat'n Park Nantucket Cod Recipe
Eat-N-Park has this fish dish they serve called Nantucket Cod that is delicious. It's in a butter sauce and the fish has spinach, crab meat, garlic, bread crumbs etc. I was wondering if anyone has a similar recipe like this. Has anyone ever had it? The Fish is so soft and tender it just melts in your mouth. Try it!

Zucchini is just making its appearance in home gardens. Here is a great way to fix it in a healthy way. There are no hard and fast rules about amounts in this recipe.
Cut Zucchini into bite size pieces (no need to peel it). Chop an onion or two. You may also add bell peppers, yellow squash, fresh corn, etc. if you like, be creative here.
Put all veggies into a ziplock bag, and add a little olive oil to the bag - about 1 teaspoon for each cup of veggies. Close the top and rotate until veggies are coated. Pour into a shallow roasting pan in a single layer. Add salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings of your choice. I like lemon pepper.
Roast in a 450 degrees F oven for about 30 minutes or until the veggies begin to brown. Stir occasionally. Or put them under the broiler and stir often to avoid burning. The browning gives them the good roasted flavor.
