Here are my recipes contributions. Im...Okays Gals! Here are my recipes contributions. Im posting easy ones 'cause most of our cooking (puertorican) is kind of complicated and some of the ingredienst are hard to find. So I've decided on these that are simpler. <BR/><BR/>Aranitas (Spiders)<BR/> <BR/>2 Plantains (its like a banana but green and bigger)<BR/>1 egg<BR/>2 tablespoons of Adobo ( if you cant find it you can do 1/2 of salt and 1/2 of garlic powder and pepper to taste)<BR/> <BR/>Procedure:<BR/> <BR/>Peel the Plantain and shred. (sort of like the shredded carrots size) Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix all ingredients and spoon them on hot oil until golden brown.<BR/> <BR/>Sauce: Mix 1 and 1/2 parts of Mayonaise and 1 part of Ketchup. Add garlic powder and parsley flakes to taste and mix.<BR/> <BR/>After the spiders are done dip'em in the sauce and eat! Enjoy<BR/> <BR/> <BR/>#2<BR/> Vanilla Flan (Custard)<BR/> <BR/>1 can of evaporated milk<BR/>1 can of condensed milk<BR/>6 eggs<BR/>1 tsp Vanilla<BR/>1 cup of sugar<BR/> <BR/>Procedure:<BR/>Preheat oven 350<BR/>In a pan put the sugar and caramelize it. Then in a 9x9 baking tray (you can use the foil ones) drop the caramel and spread it until bottom and sides are covered.<BR/>Mix the rest of the ingredients in the food processor and then pour over caramelized tray.<BR/>Get a bigger tray and put the smaller one inside it. Then pour water until about half of it. Put it in the oven and bake for 30 min.<BR/> <BR/>Wait until is cold and turn into a serving plate. You can serve it alone or you can add some whipped cream and a strawberry on a piece to make it pretty. <BR/><BR/>So there you have it! Enjoy!<BR/><BR/>Happy Thanksgiving!<BR/>NinyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1132563628351070852005-11-21T04:00:00.000-05:002005-11-21T04:00:00.000-05:00Here's my contribution:7-Up SaladNot recommended f...Here's my contribution:<BR/><BR/>7-Up Salad<BR/><BR/>Not recommended for those on a low-fat diet<BR/><BR/>1 lg.

It is very good.<BR/><BR/>Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes <BR/><BR/>Cake: <BR/>1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix <BR/>1 egg <BR/>8 tablespoons butter, melted <BR/>Filling: <BR/>1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened <BR/>1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin <BR/>3 eggs <BR/>1 teaspoon vanilla <BR/>8 tablespoons butter, melted <BR/>1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar <BR/>1 teaspoon cinnamon <BR/>1 teaspoon nutmeg<BR/><BR/>Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. <BR/>Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan. <BR/><BR/>To make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey. <BR/><BR/>Serve with fresh whipped cream. <BR/><BR/>Variations: For a Pineapple Gooey Cake: Instead of the pumpkin, add a drained 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple to the cream cheese filling. Proceed as directed above. <BR/><BR/>For a Banana Gooey Cake: Prepare cream cheese filling as directed, beating in 2 ripe bananas instead of the pumpkin. Proceed as directed above. <BR/><BR/>For a Peanut Butter Gooey Cake: Use a chocolate cake mix. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter to the cream cheese filling instead of the pumpkin. Proceed as directed above.Amy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17202603187907169256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16621463.post-1132438080346518992005-11-19T17:08:00.000-05:002005-11-19T17:08:00.000-05:00Barbara...that sounds yummy.
