The books look wonderful. Here's a recipe from my blog - http://www.recipesbydonna.blogspot.com
1 lb. powdered sugar (1 small box)
1/2 c. cocoa
1/4 c. milk
1 stick butter (I use Parkay.)
1 tbsp. vanilla (real, no fake!)
1/2 c. chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
In microwaveable bowl (glass is good), blend sugar and cocoa. I make a well in the middle and add milk and butter. Cook 2-3 minutes in microwave. Stir til moist.
Now quick! Add vanilla and nuts and mix and a pinch of salt if you want. Pour into a greased dish (8 in. pan or even a pie pan) and refrigerate 1 hour - or as long as you can stand it.
I'd say to keep it in the fridge because it's a soft fudge, but who has leftovers?
my fave recipe: sure to please a crowd
buffalo chicken dip
1 chicken breasts
2 packages cream cheese
buffalo sauce
minced garlic from a jar
one large tub sour cream
seasoning salt
cook chicken, shred. combine all ingredients in a crock pot, serve with crackers when warm.
I have a recipe that I tweak a bit but it makes a great pasta dish and can be meatless or sometimes I'll add chicken to it. Its a mediterranean style dish with asparagus, artichoke hearts, the pasta of course, olive oil, spices, sun dried tomatoes, shredded parmesan or similar cheese (not grated Kraft or other kind off the shelf but fresh in the refrigerator section) and what I really like is that it makes several servings even if I cut the recipe in half and is wonderful served hot or as a cold salad when leftover so although it heats up the kitchen in the summer leftovers can be microwaved or eaten without warming up at all.
I also have a favorite fudge recipe for the holidays that generally turns out nice and "creamyish" and isn't too tough to get right.

My favorite recipe is one I use alot when I need a quick dessert. 1 can cherry pie filling, 1 can crushed pineapple, 1 butter cake mix, 1 stick of butter. Pour pie filling and pineapples into bottom of 9X13 pan. Cover with cake mix. Cut butter into pats and cover cake mix. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Can substitute other pie fillings if wanted.
Oh, my daughter and I have our hands real high on this one. We love making Christmas goodies. These books look ever so wonderful. Yes, please include me in the drawing. Thanks Abi

This is a favorite recipe I make every Christmas and sometimes during the year, cause they're so good.
It's a lightened version of the classic Pfeffernuesse recipe, which calls for lots of butter. 27 calories per serving.
CLASSIC PFEFFERNUESSE:
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 egg white
3 tablespoons molasses
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel (optional)
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, and pepper. Mix Well.
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in egg white, molasses, and lemon peel. At low speed, beat in flour mixture until a dough forms. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray 2 baking sheets with vegetable cooking spray. Roll dough into 2 inch balls. Place balls, 2 inches apart, on prepared baking sheets.
Bake cookies, in batches, until bottoms are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
Place confectioners' sugar in a large plastic bag. Add still warm cookies to bag in batches; shake to coat.
Enjoy!
Thanks for the chance to win these great cookbooks...I would love to try out some new recipes!

Wow. These look awesome. I blogged the giveaway too. I have a ton of recipes on my cooking blog, but this is my favorite sugar cookie recipe for cut-out cookies.

1 egg, beaten
2 ¼ c. flour
½ t. salt
¼ t. nutmeg
2 t. baking powder
2 T. milk
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture, alternating with milk. Chill 1 hour. Roll and cut and bake. 350 for 7-8 minutes. Decorate.

Christmas means Divinity at my house.
3 Cups White sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup DARK corn syrup
Mix in a heavy saucepan and boil, stirring frequently until it reaches the soft ball stage (sorry, never had luck with thermometer, we want it cooked to a certain point, don't care how hot it is)
In the meantime beat together two egg whites and 1/2 teaspoon salt until egg whites are stiff.
When syrup reaches the soft ball stage (meaning that a few drops placed in a bowl of ice water can be gathered up into a ball, but the ball is very mushy) slowly beat 1/2 of the syrup into the egg whites, beating constantly so the syrup is fully incorporated, and doesn't harden on the side of the bowl. Put the rest of the syrup back on the stove and continue to cook. You might want to beat the egg white mixture a bit more. When the syrup reaches the hard ball stage (syrup placed in ice water becomes hard, like hard candy)beat the rest of it into the egg white mixture. Continue beating until the mixture is thick and loses its gloss. Spoon by tablespoons full onto waxed paper or foil.
