Here’s a simple cookie recipe that’s certain to have your taste buds thinking they’re all going on Disney cruises because of how good they are. Just do the rest of you a favor and don’t give the taste buds as much as they want or you’ll have to spend a lot of treadmill time to get rid of them.
Mix an entire boxed chocolate cake mix (18 1/2 ounces) with 1/3 cup of ripe banana (mashed), 1 egg and two tablespoons of water. Beat with an electric mixer on a medium setting until it’s smooth. Then add 6 oz of semisweet chocolate chips.
Drop rounded teaspoonfulls onto a greased baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake at 350 for 8 minutes or until done. When they’re done remove them from the baking sheets and cool ‘em on racks or aluminum foil. This should make about 3 1/2 dozen

Have you forgotten Canada? Like a lot of Americans I have to admit that I often forget about Canada, mostly because American media doesn’t tend to carry a lot of news out of Canada. Except of course for sports, which I generally don’t follow very much with the exception of NFL Football, where you can at least hear about Canadian sports once in a while.
I know there’s a good number of celebrities that many don’t realize are origianlly from Canada such as William Shatner. Others like Professional poker player Daniel Negreanu aren’t generally known very much outside of their particular field.
There’s not a lot of places here in the US where you’ll see company logo shirts with Canadian themed logos on them unless you’re in the northern tier of stats.
So when I ran across this recipe labeled “Canadian Coffee”, I did a bit of a double take. Looking it over I have to say that it looks good, though you probably wouldn’t want to fill a thermos with it to take to work.
For the topping, whip 3/4 cup of Whipping cream with 4 teaspoons of maple syrup until you get soft peaks and set aside.
Mix 3 cups of hot, black, double strength coffee with a half cup of Rye Whiskey and a quarter cup of pure Maple syrup.
Pour coffee to within an inch of the top and spoon the topping onto it.

I’m really feeling like indulging in a bad way so instead of doing this for real, I’ll just write about it and let everybody out there share in the fun.
Take 10 Hostess Twinkies and slice them in half lenghtwise then lay them cream side up in a 9×13 pan. Spread two cans of chocolate pudding over the top. You can also use a mix if you prefer or for that matter, a bunch of pudding cups.
Next, cover the whole thing with Cool Whip. Top it off with crushed nuts or crush a couple of your favorite candy bars (frozen or at least VERY cold) and scatter that across the top. Refrigerate overnite and it’s ready to slice and serve.

Here’s a diabetic friendly dessert that’s sure to be a hit once you assure everyone that they’re not going to have to spend an extra hour hitting the ellipticals to burn it off. Although diabetic friendly or not, too much of this and you’ll still be needing to burn it off.
Line a 13″x9″x2″ baking dish with a layer of graham cracker squares. Make up a 6 oz package of instant sugar-free chocolate pudding according to package directions. Then spread the pudding over the layer of graham crackers.
Let it cool in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes or until it’s set and then add another layer of graham cracker squares over the pudding. Then make up a second package of pudding and spread it over the second layer of graham crackers. Refrigerate until it’s firmly set.
Top it with whipped cream before serving

I like seafood, always have. Though I’m not into fishing, I’d rather get my seafood in the supermarket than to spend who knows how long on the shores of a river or lake with only three fish in it or worse yet using inflatable boats or something like that to go out on the water and get seasick while I’m busy not catching anything.
Much better is the idea of just popping over to a store and buying what I need and getting down to the making (and later eating) of something good. This clam chowder recipe is a good one to start going in the slow cooker in the morning and have it for a hearty meal in the evening.
Start out with either four 6 1/2 oz cans of clams or 3 pounds fresh or frozen. If it’s frozen, thaw it and cut into bite sized pieces.
Saute 1/2 pound of bacon and a large diced onion until golden brown and then drain it and add it to the slow cooker along with the clams.
Add 6 to 8 large cubed potatoes, 3 cups of water, 3 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Cover and cook on high 3 to 4 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
In the last hour of cooking, combine 2 cups of milk with the 4 tablespoons of cornstarch. Add to slow cooker with another 2 cups of milk and stir well. Serve in large bowls with crusty French bread.
