Good morning and welcome to your Sunday edition of A to Z Recipes
Newsletter.
The Monthly Theme topic of: Potluck Pleasers ends tomorrow. I hope you will share in the fun by sending in yours for posting. The recipes will be posted in the Monthly Theme issue due out on Sunday, May 6th. Visit the Monthly Theme section for more information and the link to be used for your submissions. Thanks! I will announce the next theme topic in Wednesday's issue.
Mary S. in Nashville, TN got me to thinking about strawberries when she sent me some information and recipes she found. She said:
"May is strawberry month and this is some interesting information and I've included some recipes also. The information and recipes are from
Practical Recipes. Unfortunately, I think the strawberries here were destroyed along with a lot of other fruit trees from the freeze we had around Easter." So, what she started I completed with a few from other
readers, as well as some of my own. I hope you enjoy what has been shared. I had a ball putting it together, especially when I found how many recipes I'd forgotten about, that were sitting in computer files, scraps of paper, index cards, and a couple of books. Thanks, Mary, for the great idea! And say thanks to everyone whose recipes were used in today's
berry special issue:
Mary S., Nashville, TN
Jean, Syracuse, NY
Johnny, LA
Kat, Spain
Treva, Eastern TN
Larry Holmes, Ontario, Canada
Bill Anatooskin, Burnaby, BC, Canada
We'll see you here again on Wednesday, God willing.
Psst!
Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.
It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle).
This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Dear Friend,
As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday. But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear. When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were to busy. At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip instead. I watched patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me.
I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay. There is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet.
You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After a few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes there and you spend a lot of time each day in front of it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to me.
Bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to your family you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you. I've got patience, more than you will ever know.... I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well.
I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought, or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.
Well, you are getting up once again. Once again I will wait, with nothing but love for you. Hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a nice day!
Your friend,
GOD

If you love strawberries, then you know that nothing compares in texture or flavor to a red, ripe succulent strawberry!
Some Strawberry Facts:
Strawberries were originally called "Strewberries". They were called this due to the way the berries seem to be just strewn about the leaves of the plant.
Eight strawberries provide 140 percent of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C.
Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen in the spring.
One cup of strawberries has just 55 calories.
The strawberry is the only fruit with the seeds (on average, 200) on the outside of the fruit.
Strawberries are grown in every state in the United States and every province of Canada.

'Tis the season for graduations, weddings, bridal and baby showers, and family reunions. So, what better time for a
Monthly Theme topic of recipes for all those Potluck Pleasers you'll be expected to bring. Just about every good cook has their "signature dish", so I'm hoping for a few of those. We'd also like you to share any other recipes for dishes that are suitable for covered dish or potluck serving. I'd like to thank
Rita in Niceville, FL for the great theme topic suggestion! Won't you join in the fun by sharing your own recipes for Potluck Pleasers? Since we've shared many recipes, make sure you only send in recipes that you've not submitted before, okay? It's always nice if the recipes you share are those tried and true (TNT) but sometimes it is good to share a recipe or two that you plan to prepare! I have tons of recipes and could not possibly prepare them all, but each I share is something I would enjoy preparing and serving my family and friends. I hope you will maintain that for yourself when you share your favorite Potluck Pleasers with us.
Note:There are still some readers who routinely send in an email that says "do this... do that" and call it a recipe submission. I have graciously put it all in recipe format and made you a hero. PLEASE provide a recipe, i.e.: Title, Ingredients, Procedure, along with your name and location. You'll be an even bigger hero in my eyes! Please share your favorite recipes in this month's theme topic of
Potluck Pleasers. We will collect them the remainder of this month and post them on the
second Sunday of April. Please understand that we do not wish to infringe on copyrighted material; if your source states it is copyrighted then do not send it. Make sure to view the rules section to ensure your submissions are acceptable.

A to Z Recipes continues with its popular Theme Issues. We will share theme recipes and post them on the first (or second) Sunday of each month. Send your recipes no later than the last day of each month to have them posted in the next monthly theme issue. You may send in your favorite theme recipes in ONE email. If the number of recipes submitted by readers exceeds those needed in the issue, the publisher will post as many from every submitter as possible and save the remaining recipes for the following Sundays of that month. The rules for recipe submissions for the monthly theme issues are the same as ALL recipes submitted for posting.

Remove stems from strawberries to form a flat base. Place berries on cutting surface, pointed end facing up. With a sharp knife, carefully slice each berry in half vertically to within a 1/4 inch of base. Cut each half into three wedges to form 6 petals. (Don't slice through the base.) Pull petals apart slightly.
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and sour cream; beat until light and fluffy. With a pastry bag and star tip or small spoon, fill strawberries with cream cheese mixture.
Note: A zipper sandwich bag can be used instead of a pastry bag by filling with cream cheese mixture and squeezing out excess air before sealing. Carefully cut one corner off of the bottom of the bag.
Variation: Use strawberry flavored cream cheese for added sweetness.
TROPICAL FRUIT DIP
~Submitted by Jean, Syracuse, NY
This is a quick, super easy fruit dip. Not exactly good for you, but it’s yummy.
2 small (3 ounce) boxes White Chocolate instant pudding
2 cups milk
12 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip)
Coconut extract to taste
Mix pudding and milk until combined. Fold in whipped topping. Fold in coconut extract. Use the extract sparingly as it could easily overwhelm the flavor. Serve with fruit, such as strawberries, pineapple, cantaloupe, grapes, sliced apples and nectarines. Variation: Use vanilla pudding instead of white chocolate and 4 ounces of Amaretto instead of the coconut extract.
PEACH STRAWBERRY SAUCE
~Submitted by Johnny, LA
This delicious dessert sauce is perfect for any summer event or occasion, and it's so easy to make. If you want to use fresh peaches, use about 1 1/2 cups and substitute peach nectar or juice for the canned peach juice.
INGREDIENTS:
1 can (15 ounces) peach slices in juice
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring
4 to 6 large fresh strawberries, sliced
PREPARATION:
Drain juice from peaches into a saucepan. Combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in to juice. Cook over medium-low heat until thickened. Add almond flavoring, reserved peach slices, and sliced strawberries; heat through. Serve over hot milk sponge cake, as shown, or over purchased pound cake, sponge cake, shortcake biscuits, or angel food cake.
Place strawberries in a blender and process until smooth. Measure 2 cups of strawberry puree. Stir in lemon juice and corn syrup. Line a 15x10 inch jellyroll pan with heavy-duty plastic wrap and tape plastic wrap to the pan at the corners. Pour strawberry mixture in prepared pan and spread thin, leaving 1 inch on all sides. You can adjust this to fit your dehydrator or another pan, be sure it is spread thin on the pan. Dry in an oven at 150 or a dehydrator for 7-8 hours or until surface is no longer sticky. Remove leather from pan while still warm and roll up jellyroll fashion. Cut into logs and wrap in plastic wrap. Make five 2 inch logs
* Any other fruit may be used in place of the strawberries.

Preparation Time | 12 min
Cooking Time | 6 min
Level of Difficulty | Easy
Our coffee-cinnamon accented chocolate sauce is a delicious complement to grilled fruit. It makes a wonderful ending to special summertime meals.
Ingredients
1 sprays cooking spray
1 tsp decaffeinated instant coffee, powder
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon, or to taste (optional)
2/3 oz fat-free sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix, use half a 1.4 oz package
1 1/2 cup fat-free skim milk
2 large banana(s), cut into a total of 12 chunks
12 medium strawberries, hulled
Instructions
Coat grid of grill with cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium.
Combine coffee powder, cinnamon, pudding mix and milk in a tall pitcher. Blend with a whisk or immersion blender until mixture is frothy; set aside. (The mixture will firm up as it stands.)
Alternately thread 3 banana chunks and 3 strawberries onto each of 4 metal skewers. Grill skewers, turning once, just long enough so that grill marks appear on fruit, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Remove fruit from skewers and divide among 4 plates. Top each serving with about 1/4 cup of chocolate sauce.
Notes
When you can't grill outdoors, consider broiling the fruit instead.
You can vary the taste of the sauce by adding a few drops of rum extract in place of the coffee powder, if desired.
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. fine salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg

In a stand up mixer bowl, whip the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined. Slowly beat in the dry ingredients in 2 additions, mixing just until
incorporated. Scoop the dough into 1" balls with an ice cream scoop and roll in sugar. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2" apart. Press a thumbprint into the center of each ball, about 1/2" deep and fill each indentation with about 3/4 teaspoon of your choice of jam. Bake cookies for about 15 minutes or until the edges are golden. For even color, rotate the the baking pans half way through baking. Cool cookies on the baking sheets.

SHORTCAKE BISCUITS WITH BERRIES
~Submitted by Treva, Eastern TN
This easy-to-make shortcake biscuit, which uses baking powder, will bring back memories of traditional versions.
olive oil spray
1 & 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat or whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp. salt
4 tsp. baking powder
3 to 4 Tbsp. sugar for the biscuits, plus more for the berries, according to taste
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
4 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup fat-free (skim) milk
1 lb. fresh strawberries
1 pt. fresh blueberries or 2 cups frozen
1/4 cup orange juice
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a nonstick cookie sheet with oil spray. Set aside.
2. Hull strawberries and slice into a bowl. Add fresh blueberries, if using. Mix in orange juice and sugar to taste. Set aside 30 to 60 minutes. (If using frozen blueberries that are defrosted, stir in just before assembling shortcakes.)
3. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Use a pastry blender or a fork to cut the butter and oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add the milk all at once. Stir until it is just incorporated and there are no lumps.
4. Form 8 biscuits by dropping well-rounded quarter cups onto the cookie sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until biscuits are done. (Use a toothpick to test centers). Cool on a wire rack.
5. Use a serrated knife to gently slice off the top third of each biscuit. Top with some berries and juice. Lay the top third of the biscuit on berries. Top with more berries and juice. Place remaining berries around each biscuit. Garnish with frozen yogurt, if using, and serve.
"Dry milk adds texture and protein without fat or a lot of calories. Try this easy concoction with your favorite fruit: strawberries, blackberries, bananas, kiwifruit, peaches or cherries, for example. A healthy alternative to the traditional milk shake."
3 cups fruit, fresh, frozen, unsweetened or canned (drained)
1 1/3 cups (3.2-ounce envelope) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Instant Nonfat Dry Milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup ice cubes
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Place fruit, dry milk, water, ice, sugar and vanilla extract in blender; cover. Blend until smooth.

Top with a second phyllo square, spray, and another 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) of sugar. Cover with third layer, spray, and another 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) sugar.

If horseradish does not appeal to your morning taste buds, a bit more cayenne will do the trick. What a delightful combination of flavors! Peaches (and peach preserves) are a great substitute for strawberries in this one.
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the strawberry preserves, minced garlic, soy sauce and horseradish. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently until heated through.
2. Melt butter in a medium skillet. Lightly sprinkle both sides of each pork chop with cayenne pepper. Fry the chops until browned on each side, then continue to cook over medium heat until no longer pink, and the juices run clear.
3. Serve chops with sauce poured over, and garnish with fresh strawberries.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED STRAWBERRIES
Makes about 1-1/3 cups dip.
Chocolate-covered strawberries are served as a finale to dinner at some fine restaurants. They also make attractive decorations for cakes and pies. As for me, they are the epitome of romance; the taste and texture is, well...
1 (12 oz.) pkg. semi sweet chocolate pieces
6 tbsp. butter or margarine
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Strawberries with stems
Melt chocolate pieces in top of double boiler. Blend in butter and vanilla. Dip strawberries in chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Place on waxed paper and set in cool dry place.
FILLED STRAWBERRY BREAD
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon red food coloring
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen strawberries, thawed and drained
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Add oil, beaten eggs, food coloring; mix well. Drain the strawberries and reserve 1/2 cup of the juice for the filling. Fold in the drained strawberries. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese with 1/2 cup of the reserved strawberry juice. Slice the loaf twice horizontally to make three layers. Spread the cream cheese mixture between the layers and reassemble the loaf. Wrap loaves in plastic and chill in the refrigerator to set the filling. Slice and serve chilled.
ROASTED STRAWBERRIES
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 pint strawberries, hulled and left whole or cut into bite-size portions
1 to 2 tablespoons orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau (may substitute orange juice)
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
In an ovenproof skillet just large enough to hold the strawberries in one layer, melt the butter in the oven, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully so it does not burn.
Remove the skillet from the oven and stir in the sugar; the mixture will be grainy. Add the berries, tossing to coat them. Spread in a single layer.
Roast, stirring once or twice, until the berries just begin to soften and the sugar melts, about 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, add the liqueur and gently roll the berries in the pan syrup to coat.
Serve over ice cream, yogurt, pound cake or angel food cake.
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cornstarch
3 cups skim milk
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 (10 & 3/4 oz) reduced-fat frozen pound cake, thawed
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
1 quart strawberries
3 tbsp. orange juice
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1. In a saucepan, mix together sugar, cornstarch, and milk over medium heat, stirring until mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
2. Add 1/2 cup custard mixture to yolk and return mixture to saucepan, heating well. Add vanilla; set aside to cool.
3. Slice pound cake and place slices along bottom of a 2-quart oblong dish. Spread slices with raspberry jam. Slice strawberries and place over pound cake layer. Drizzle orange juice over berries.
4. Carefully spread custard over strawberries. Sprinkle with toasted almonds.
