| Baking Tips: EGGS: They help your baked goods rise. Use at room temperature. If too cold, warm in bowl of hot water. SHORTENING: Do not substitute margarine spreads because the water content changes the product. I use a non-transfatty substitute called SmartBalance. It can be found where the shortening is sold in most supermarkets BUTTER: SmartBalance also makes a margarine that can be used in all baking just like butter and it has a buttery flavor! |

| BAR-B-QUE literally means beard to tail. Granni's mom grew up on a farm where they not only raised all their own food, but they used everything on the pig except his squeal! |
Cooking Carrots?: Did you know that carrots are rich in beta carotene? Beta carotene is fat-soluble; cook carrots with a touch of butter or oil for maximum absorption in the body. ADD grated carrots to: salads, meatloaf mixtures, pasta sauces, cookie & cake batters. BOIL cut carrots with potatoes & mash as usual. FREEZE leftover cooked carrots & add to canned or homemade soup later (& any other leftover veggies). |
