Pour a pint of whipping cream into a tall, narrow mixing bowl, then put the
beaters from an electric mixer in the bowl. Put everything in the freezer to
chill. Prepare biscuits using Bisquick and the recipe on the box. While
biscuits are baking, wash, hull and slice a quart of strawberries. Add 2
tablespoons or so of sugar and mash them slightly to bring on the juice. Take
the cream from the freezer and beat it with an electric mixer. Cool the baked
biscuits slightly, then split, fill and top with berries and whipping cream.

Alan’s garden salsa

Okay folks. My husband, Alan, has a very simple recipe for salsa
that we have been using on top of everything lately. Great way to
use our tomatoes and hot peppers out of the garden.

1 – 2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes (depending on how hot you like it)
1 chopped onion
1 halapenio pepper, chopped finly
1 hot banana pepper, chopped finely
Lots of fresh cilantro from garden
(Also can use the green coriander seeds from the cilantro plant)

This is garden salsa. Eat it over beans. Over rice. My personal
favorite is in big heaps on top of a baked pita. Enjoy.

Low fat fruit cake (possible eggs)

2 Egg whites (Or replacer – havn’t tried it with this yet)
2 cups wholewheat flour
1 tin crushed pinapple – complete with juice
1 mushy banana – any ripeness as long as it isn’t green
1 scoop dark raisins (about 2 cups I think)
2+ tablespoons mollasses. (Modify to your own taste)
spices – 2-3 or your favorite cake spices – I use nutmeg cinamon and ginger
2 spoons of baking powder.
I prepared 7-8 inch loose bottomed cake tin.

Heat oven to approx 400

Put the flour in a mixing bowl (Don’t add the baking powder yet) Add
the pinnapple and its juice (This is why don’t add the powder they
react too quickly and all the fiz gets mixed out of the cake and it
comes out a little flatter). Break the banana into chunks and add to
the flour and pinnaple mash the Banana roughly with your mixing spoon,
mix together, add egg whites and enough water to get a thick batter
(very thick or the fruit will sink), add the mollasses and spices,
when these are mixed in add the raisins. Then add the baking powder
and as soon as you have it mixed in pour it straight qinto the tin
smooth the surface and put in the oven. You have to be quick with the
baking powder and not mix too much – just enough to get it
distributed, if you spend too long, again you risk all the fizz
getting knocked out of the cake .

Bake for about 40 minutes – its done when a knife stuck into the cake
comes out looking clean. My only trouble with this cake is that it
tends to stick to my rather old and cheep bakeware. This makes a very
moist cake that has been kept for up to a week – it should last longer
but somehow ours never stays around long enough to find out.
