Kaylin,

I need a tried and true recipe for hot red (bell) pepper relish. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

In the interest of being healthier, I'm looking for more veggie dishes. Preferably side dishes that don't have a ton of calories. You can only eat steamed veggies for so often, before you going looking for something else) Thank you!! (By the way, I love the ezine and look forward to seeing it in my mail box!)

This is my mother's recipe.

Congo Bars

2 3/4 cups Flour
2 1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
2/3 cup melted margarine
1 16 oz. Pkg. Dark Brown Sugar
3 eggs
1 cup chopped nuts ( I omit these)
1 6 oz. Pkg. Chocolate Pieces ( I use 12 oz)

Grease and flour a 13 X 9 pan. Melt margarine. Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Add melted margarine to sugar. Add eggs 1 at a time and beat well. Add dry ingredients and mix until blended. Stir in nuts and chocolate pieces. Spread in prepared pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Cool in pan on wire racks. Cut in bars.

I prefer to use my stoneware 13 X 9 pan. No need to grease and flour and they come out perfect every time!!!

I got this yummy recipe from my friend Janelle Butler, along with an explanation of the recipe name.

Caramel Brownie Recipe (aka Dead Man Brownies.)

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

6 oz pkg Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 German Chocolate Cake Mix
¾ cup Margarine or Butter Melted (I use butter)
1 pkg of Kraft Caramels (I find the Kraft brand isn't gritty when melted)
1 small can of Evaporated Milk (I use sweetened condensed milk for more
sweetness)

In large bowl mix melted butter with cake mix and 1/3 cup of evaporated or sweetened milk, mix well (if using sweetened condensed milk add a couple tablespoons of water to the mix.) Pour ½ of the batter in a 13 x 9 inch cake pan. (I put my hand in a plastic sandwich bag to evenly spread the batter.) Bake for 10 minutes. Melt caramels and 1/3 cup milk; pour on top of baked cake mix. (the caramel will not spread so drizzle) Top the caramel with chocolate chips. Put the remainder of the batter on the top. (I find it easier to drop spoonfuls of the stiff
batter and carefully spread with spatula). Bake for 15 minutes. Cool and cut.

Now I must explain how these wonderful treats got the name "Dead Man Brownies".

Before my mom lost her battle with cancer she was the secretary for our church. She would organize everything, even the dreaded wakes. When my son was 5 years old we went to visit "Granny" and she was preparing these wonderful brownies. Beau got to taste them and loved them!! (I wonder why? All that sugar and chocolate.) The next time we visited and she was making them for a wake. Of course Beau wanted not just one but the whole pan, she had to tell him that they were for someone's family who's Grandpa had died. She made more soon after that and when Beau saw the pan he blurted out, Hey!! Are those the Dead Man Brownies?? That's what they've been called in our house since. Enjoy!!
