Very Berry “Green” Smoothie

Makes about two servings

It’s hard to believe, but the fruit will overpower the taste of the spinach. If my husband likes these, anybody will! Use measurements as a guideline and add as much as as little as you like. You really can do anything with a green smoothie! (Taste the spinach? Add more fruit :) )

Makes one cake, 6-8 servings

“Delicious recipe if you love lemon meringue but are looking for something a little different. Huge hit with my family, anyway! Tip: Place the cooled cake on parchment paper before topping with lemon filling and meringue and baking, to easily move cake from baking sheet to serving plate.”

Sloppy Joes for 8 Dozen

Source: Taste of Home, April/May ‘09
Makes 96 servings

“I didn’t make this huge recipe, but I did make it for 6-8 servings. I was too lazy to calculate measurements so I just added until it looked and tasted right. This recipe would be a great way to include homemade sloppy joes in your batch cooking though!”

Ingredients
15lbs ground beef
6 medium onions
1 gallon ketchup
3/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup mustard
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 T. chili powder

1. In two soup kettles over medium heat, cook and stir beef and onions until meat is no longer pink; drain.

2. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar and chili powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for one hour to allow flavors to blend.
