Strawberry Brownies
Author: Family Savvy
Serves: 10-12

Ingredients
1 box strawberry cake mix (I use Duncan Hines)

2 eggs

1/3 cup oil

1 cup powdered sugar
½ -2 TB water or milk
Instructions
Mix strawberry cake mix, eggs, and oil until well combined.
Spread in 9 X 13 pan lined with parchment paper (lining makes it easy to lift entire contents from pan for glazing and cutting).
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until done in center. Be careful to remove before edges brown; these taste best when "just done" rather than too done.
Mix powdered sugar and water or milk until smooth. Pour glaze over brownies while hot. Spread glaze to edges, allowing it to drip down sides. Allow brownies to cool and glaze to set before cutting into squares.

CREAM CHEESE CHERRY PIE CRUMB BARS

yield: 20 to 24 bars

 

prep time: 20 minutes

 

cook time: 45 to 50 minutes

 

total time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Layers of cream cheese and cherry pie filling sandwiched between crumb layers and drizzled with icing.

INGREDIENTS:

For the Crumb:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 egg

For the Filling:
24 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 (21-ounce) cans cherry pie filling

For the Powdered Sugar Glaze (optional):
½ cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

2. Make the Crumb: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter, and then the egg (the dough will be crumbly). Press half of dough into the prepared pan and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until light golden brown. Set on a wire rack to cool.

3. Make the Filling: In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine. Using an offset spatula, spread the cream cheese mixture into an even layer over the crust. Spoon the cherry pie filling in an even layer over the cream cheese mixture. Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the cherry layer.

4. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown. Cool completely before adding the glaze.

5. Make the Powdered Sugar Glaze (if using): In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream and vanilla extract. Add more cream if you want a thinner glaze, or more powdered sugar if you want a thicker glaze. Drizzle over the bars and allow to set.

6. The bars can be served at room temperature or chilled. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Instructions

1. 1. Butter the side of a medium heavy saucepan. In the saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, and butter. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture is boiling. Reduce heat to medium; continue boiling at a moderate, steady rate for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. 2. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in marshmallows, peanut butter, and vanilla. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Chill for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until mixture is thick and can be molded.
3. 3. Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls; place on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes.
4. 4. In a medium saucepan, combine chocolate and shortening. Cook and stir over low heat until melted. Dip balls, one at a time, into melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off balls. Place on a wire rack set over waxed paper. If desired, sprinkle with peanuts. Let stand until chocolate is set.* Makes about 50 truffles.

Summoning Spirits
For this summoning spell, we’re going to use Black Cat Oil. Not only is this oil a powerful conduit for summoning spirits, it’s often used to break bad spells, and for protection. This oil will contain a pinch of hair from a black cat– the most important ingredient.

Contrary to popular myth, black cats do not bring bad luck. They are said to be a favorite form for shape-shifting spirits; and this is one reason it’s considered bad luck to harm a black cat– that purring beautiful ball of fur before you might in fact be a magical creature or spirit who is observing you just as keenly as you are observing it.

Black cats are thought to have special magical connections and have long been a favored creature for a witch’s familiar.

First, the Black Cat Oil.

Items needed:
1. Herbs: sage, bay leaves, myrrh– substitutions for myrrh include anise, cloves, lemon balm, and cinnamon
2. Steel wool
3. Iron
4. Black cat hair
5. Oil– for the base…Castor oil for protection, as well as to break curses/hexes/spells; almond oil, to attract the opposite sex

Mix these ingredients together and warm them in your cauldron, just until you smell the herbs, knowing that the energy is released. Add this mixture to a jar, and leave it sit for a night beneath the moonlight.

To summon spirits:
Anoint a blue or purple candle with Black Cat Oil and burn this candle, calling in the spirits.

To summon a particular spirit, such as a loved one who’s passed, I create an altar for this spirit filled with photos, favorite personal items, a piece of clothing having belonged to them in life, etc. Samhain evening would be the most advantageous time to perform a ritual such as this, but you can call spirits to you at any time you desire them.

LILITH
If Lilith has come into your life she is telling you to be true to yourself. She walks by our side teaching us to not be subservient to others. Lilith is an example of inner strength. Lilith brings us independence, rebellion, courage and passion. She is a source of inspiration and bravery. Enjoy your life to the fullest without fear or guilt. Lilith gives us the duty of seeking equality for all. We are all created equally and Lilith makes this very clear. Lilith teaches us that if we have wronged someone and not treated them as an equal that we should make amends today. Stand up for what you believe in. Live up to your potential ~

Base:
3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup butter, melted

Topping:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Glaze:
2 cups icing sugar
5 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a 9 x 13 baking pan (buttered).

Mix all of the base ingredients together, with the exception of the butter.  Add the melted butter last, and then pour into your prepared pan,

Mix all of the topping ingredients together in a separate bowl.  Mix well.  Drop by teaspoonful over the base, as evenly as you can over the entire base.  Take a butter knife and swirl the topping into the base.  Pop into the oven and bake for 28-30 minutes.

While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze and set aside.

Remove from oven and glaze the cake while still warm.

RASPBERRY SWIRL ROLLS
(Adapted from this recipe)
*Makes 16 rolls*

YOU WILL NEED:
Dough:
1 cup milk
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 packets active dry yeast (1 1/2 tbs)
1 stick (4oz) unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp salt
4 1/4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Filling:
10oz frozen raspberries (not thawed)
1/4 cup plus 2 tbs sugar
1 tsp cornstarch

Glaze:
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tbs unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 tbs heavy cream



DIRECTIONS:
1. First, heat up the milk until it is lukewarm. Pour it into your electric mixer bowl, and add the sugar and yeast to it. Mix a little bit, then cover the bowl with a dish towel and let sit for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is frothy. Next, with the mixer running, add in the softened butter, eggs and salt. Slowly begin adding in the flower until a soft dough forms (if the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour). Using the dough hook attachment, beat the dough on medium-high speed for about 10 minutes. Next, form the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover and let sit in a warm place for about 1 to 2 hours, until it doubles in size.

2. Prepare your baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and buttering/spraying it with cooking spray. Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a 10x24 inch rectangle.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the frozen raspberries, sugar and cornstarch. Spread that over the dough and tightly roll it up. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 16 equal sized slices (you will need to do this pretty fast, because the raspberries will start melting very quickly). Place the rolls into your prepared baking pans, cover them and let them rise in a warm place for another hour to two hours.

4. Preheat your oven to 425 deg F (if you think this is too hot for your oven, turn the temperature down to 400 deg F, or even lower if needed), and bake the rolls for about 25 minutes until they are beautifully golden brown and the juices are bubbling. Let cool. Next, prepare your glaze by whisking together the confectioners' sugar, butter and heavy cream in a small bowl. Once the rolls have cooled a little, drizzle the glaze over the top. Serve warm!

Black Cat Oil ☽○☾
2 ounces of Grapeseed oil
5 drops of Frankincense oil
3 drops of Dragon blood oil
3 drops of Sandalwood oil
2 drop of Mugwort oil
1 whisker or 3 hairs from a Black Cat
Blend your oils together in an amber or dark bottle. When blending, don't shake your bottle...give it a little swirl around to blend the oils together. Label and date your bottle and store in a cool dry place.
Black cat oil is used to break hexes, protection during Magical rites, reversing a string of bad luck, to bring good luck & money spells.
This oil should be made right before the Dark Moon, preferably on a Saturday. Use it during the Waning Moon for Monetary spells.
Anoint green candles for Good Luck, Protection & Money spells and Black candles for reversing or breaking a hex.
After Sageing, anoint your doorways and windows to keep negative energies out. If you want some luck when you go gambling place a drop or two in each shoe, a couple of drops rubbed into your hands won't hurt either.
By no means should you ever pull out a cats whisker or hair! Gather them when they fall out naturally. The hair can be gathered when brushing your cat.

No Bake Pumpkin Dessert

Yield: 10 servings

Easy to make, this no-bake pumpkin dessert has 4 layers of fabulous flavor!

Ingredients

• 2 cups crushed Rold Gold® Original Pretzel Thins
• 2 tablespoons  Butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
• 1 box (3.4 ounce size) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 1/2 cups nonfat milk
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
• 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 8 ounces PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 container (8 ounces) Whipped Topping, divided
• 1/2 XL Hershey Bar, grated (for garnish)

 

Instructions

1. Place the crushed pretzels in a large bowl. You want them coarsely crushed, not fine crumbs. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar and then work in the butter until no big chunks are left. You may need to use your hands for this step. Place in the bottom of a 9x9” baking dish. Chill until ready to use.
2. Wipe out the crust bowl, then add the pudding mix to the bowl. Add the milk and whisk until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice and mix until smooth. Carefully pour and spread over the crust. The crust isn’t solid, so you need to be careful it doesn’t get mixed into the pumpkin layer.
3. Place the cream cheese in the bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Add 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla and beat until combined. Fold in half of the whipped topping. Spread over pumpkin layer.
4. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top of the cream cheese layer and top with grated chocolate. (To make the chocolate shavings start with a cold chocolate bar and grate it with a box grater over the top of the whipped topping.)

SHADOW WARRIOR
BY MICHAEL SINCLAIR

The Shadow Warrior is a lost Soul.
He feels the pain of everyone.
But he is disiplined.
You don't know him, but you see him everyday.
He is the guy who comforts you when you are hurt.
Advises you when you need advice.
Is on the front lines when you are threatened.
He is the misunderstood one of the world.
The Shadow Warrior know his
place and what he must do.
He what to settle down and raise a family.
No one will give him the chance.
His life is constant shadows.
You do not see him, but he is there watching over you always.
The Friends he has are few but true.
Nobody wants to acknowledge him
when the battle is over.
They all want him when the fight begins.
All his roads are long and grey.
Will he ever find the one True person to share his life with?
All the people he know when young have grown to adults and
have children of their own.
All he really wants is one special woman to settle down with.
Sometime he is lost and is looking for his way!
He acts fearless and like he has no emotions!
If people would just look into his eyes they would see.
That there is fear, but he uses it to accomplish his tasks.
There are emotions, but he doesn't know how to express them.
Beautiful Lady take his hand and show him the wonders of a
gentle life.
Tend his wounds, run your fingers across his scars.
Help him to put his warriors Life behind him.
Hold him, kiss him, Love him!
For only thought Love and patience will you win him and start the process of healing.
Take him from that grey road before he destroys himself.
Show him the Light, Lead him to Safety.
Show him the Love and what it can do.

FRESH ICE BOX PICKLES. 

INGREDIENTS:
1 Bunch of Dill
4 Cloves of Garlic
8-12 Pickling Cucumbers
3 Cups of Water
6 Tbsp of Distilled Vinegar (5% acidity or above)
3 Tbsp of Pickling Salt

INSTRUCTIONS:
~ Place one minced garlic into each quart size jar
~ Add a few sprigs of dill to each jar
~ Don't stress about the exact amount, each jar will be different each time
~ Cut Pickles into spears or any shape you wish
~ Pack them into jars without forcing them in

~Combine Water, Vinegar, and Salt and stir until the salt is completely dissolved
~Pour brine into jars until cucumbers are completely covered
~ Add a few more sprigs of dill on the top
~ Screw on lids and rings

~ Refrigerate for 2 AGONIZING DAYS!!!

As I said, we spiced it up a bit by adding sliced jalapenos & sweet onions to a few jars.

2 Days, 2 whole days and we will be back with a report on how they taste! And I doubt they will be anything but perfect!

NOTE: If your pickling cukes are a bit soft and not crisp, place them into a bucket of VERY cold water for a little bite. That will crisp them up for you. This works for carrots, beets, and green beans as well.

why do people put their nose in my business?
keep doing it and i'm going to broke it.
that is all for now.

Elephant Ears
My children use to love these!!!!
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons shortening
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Oil for deep-fat frying
GLAZE:
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, sugar, salt, shortening and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
On a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down and shape into 15 ovals, 5-1/2-in. round by 1/8-in. thick. Heat 3-4 in. of oil to 375° in deep-fat fryer. Fry ovals, one at a time, 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Drain. Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over warm pastries.
