4 c Blueberries

4 ts Sweet and Low
1/4 ts Cinnamon
1/8 ts Nutmeg

2 tb Quick tapioca
8 dr -OR up to…
10 dr Liquid butter flavoring.

LIne 10″ pie plate with crust

Pick over, wash and drain berries.

Mix next 6 ingredients together in small bowl

Toss with berries being careful to not crush the berries too much
pour berries in crust, making sure all the “goodies” are
scraped from the bowl.

Cover with top crust, slit for steam to escape.

Bake at 425 for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 325 for 45
minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.

For a little added flavor to the crust you can sprinkle
with a light mixture of Sweet and Low and cinnamon.

Cool on wire rack, serve with dollop of Lite Cool Whip or
small scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Exchanges, Pie only – 1/8 pie equals 1 fruit, 1 1/2 starch, 1 1/2 fat

I usually put a large piece of foil or a cookie sheet under
the pie to assure that no juices escape into the oven.

Curried Mushroom Soup

Recipe By : Kay Savik
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 Cups Boiling Water
1 Cup Dried Mushrooms — (1 oz.) * see note
Vegetable Oil Cooking Spray
2 To 3 Chopped Leeks — (white part only)
2 Tablespoons Flour
1 Tablespoon Curry Powder
4 Cups Skim Milk
1 Chicken Boullion Cube
2 Cups Portobello Mushrooms — chopped
4 Cups Shiitake Mushrooms — chopped
1 Tablespoon Dry Sherry
1 Tablespoon Fresh Chervil — chopped

* oyster, morel, porcini, you pick

Put the boiling water over the dried mushrooms in a bowl and set aside.

Preheat a heavy stockpot over medium high heat for 1 minute, then
spray twice with vegetable oil. Add the leeks and saute for about 3
minutes, stirring constantly, until translucent. Add the flour and curry
powder. Stir with a wooden spoon until leeks are well coated. Add milk
and boullion cube. Raise the heat heat to high and cook just until bubbles

form around the edge.

Reduce heat to low, whisk until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Stir in fresh mushrooms and cook until soup is at desired thickness.

Meanwhile, remove the reconstituted mushrooms from their soaking
liquid, strain, squeeze out excess moisture, and roughly chop. Add
mushrooms to stockpot and cook 1 minute more.

Remove from heat, stir in the sherry and garnish with chopped chervil.

NOTES:

I have seen some interest in low fat recipies. I tried this one from
“In the Kitchen with Rosie” by Rosie Daley (yes, Oprah’s personal
cook). Actually, every recipie I’ve tried has been really good.

% Favorite Chocolate Marbled Brownies

Recipe By : Knudsen and Sherilyn
Serving Size : 36 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Brownies Favorites
Chocolate

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
8 oz Cream cheese — softened
1/4 c Sour cream
1/4 c Sugar
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Vanilla
21 1/2 oz Pkg fudge brownie mix
Chocolate-Sour Cream Topping:
6 oz Milk chocolate chips
3/4 c Sour cream
My revision for topping:
6 oz Milk chocolate chips
Omit sour cream

In small bowl beat cream cheese until smooth, beat in sour cream, sugar,
egg, and vanilla to blend thoroughly. Prepare brownie batter according to
pkg instruction. Spread half the batter (My note: More than 1/2 the batter
must be used or the bottom of the brownie crumbles away when removed from
the pan) into greased 9×13 baking pan. Top with cream cheese mixture, then
remaining brownie batter, swirl with knife blade to create marbled effect.

Bake 350 F, 40-45 mins until pick comes out clean. Cool on rack. Frost.
Chill to set. Topping: Melt chocolate chips in double boiler, cool
slightly, stir in sour cream.

My Notes:
I baked these at 325 F for 20 mins. So watch your cooking time. Also, use
butter to grease the dish and not non-stick spray or the brownie will
stick. 13x9x2″ is not a good size for these, but 9×11″ is.

Original recipe calls for 6 oz chocolate chips and 3/4c sour cream.
Unbalanced…too heavy on sour cream. After making this several times
using sour cream, I’ve decided to omit the sour cream and we liked it even
better.

I prefer to mircowave chocolate chips instead of using the double boiler.
Go carefully and slowly, stirring often. You can only tell the chips are
melting by stirring. Frost brownies while frosting is still warm; cut
into squares.
