Vegetable Kabobs with Herb Butter

Recipe By : Prevention’s Healthy One-Dish Meals (1996)
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:50
Categories : Low-Fat Quick’n’easy
Entree Vegetable
New

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 small yellow summer squash — quartered
1 small zucchini — quartered
1 small Japanese eggplant — quartered
3 medium new red potatoes — halved
1 red bell pepper — quartered
1 green bell pepper — quartered
8 cloves garlic — halved
4 shallots — halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon butter or margarine — melted
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary — minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh rosemary — optional
4 cups hot cooked rice

Review: “An enticing entree for a summer lunch or supper, these kabobs are
based with fresh rosemary butter. You can bake at 450F as directed, or
prepare the packets on the grill, in the foil; cover and cook for about 35
minutes.”

Place a 12″ X 18″ double thickness of aluminum foil on the work surface.
Lightly e coat with no-stick spray.

SKEWERS: Use metal or use bamboo (soak first).
Thread the vegetables on 4 long metal skewers, alternating the yellow
squash, zucchini, eggplant, potatoes, red peppers and green peppers with
garlic and shallots. Lay the skewers on the foil.

In a small bowl, combine the butter or margarine, rosemary, salt and black
pepper. Brush half the mixture lightly over the vegetables. Turn the kabobs
and brush the other side.

Fold the long sides of the foil together making several folds to encase the
food snugly. Fold the ends closed to enclose securely (the end of the
skewers might protrude).

Place the packet on a baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the
potatoes are soft. Be careful of escaping steam when opening the packet.
Serve with the rice.

Lisa Behland’s Crumb Cake

Recipe By : Lisa Behland
Serving Size : 25 Preparation Time :1:00
Categories : Cakes Favorites
Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 teaspoon butter
1 pound butter — melted
1 package yellow cake mix
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups water
1 teaspoon butter flavor
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

To make the crumbs:

Sift the 4 cups flour and then mix in 1-1/3 cups sugar, cinnamon and
salt in a large bowl. Mix in the 1 pound melted butter, 3 tsp. vanilla, 1
tsp. butter flavor. The crumbs mixture should have a consistency of wet
sand. (You can add more flour/sugar if needed). When done, store in
refrigerator.

To make the cake:

Grease a large lasagna style pan (12 x 17) and shake flour into it to
coat it. Mix the cake ingredients together thoroughly in a large bowl:
the yellow cake mix (DON’T follow any instructions on the cake mix box!!),
3 eggs, 1-1/3 cups water, 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 1-1/2 tsp. butter. Pour
into the lasagna pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from
oven and “crumble” the crumbs mixture evenly over the partially-baked cake.
You can grab a large chunk and use a cheese grater to do this. Return to
the oven and bake for 15 minutes longer, or until a toothpick comes out
clean when inserted into the cake. Cool completely and sift powdered sugar
over the crumbs. Cut cake into pieces before taking it out of the pan.
