CHRISTMAS TREE COOKIES (makes about 4 dozen cookies)

4 c all-purpose flour
2 c granulated sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 c butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
½ c milk
1½ c raspberry jam
4 c sifted powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 T milk
Red-Hots candies
green food coloring

Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and butter. In a separate bowl, lightly beat egg and ½ c of milk. Mix with flour-butter batter. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using cookies cutters, cut into Christmas tree shapes. Bake at 375 〫 on an ungreased cookie sheet for about 9 minutes or till light brown on the bottom. Cool on wire rack.

Place about 1 tsp. raspberry jam on the bottom of 1 cookie, top with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to make a glazing consistency. Add in several drops of green food coloring until desired color. Spread top of each cookie with some of the glaze. While icing is still wet, drop Red-Hots on each cookie for decoration. Allow icing to dry.

    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse
    In Italian, the word "gelato" means "frozen" more than it means "ice cream." So, for as much as we have heard that gelato is the Italian equivalent of ice cream, this "gelato" is really a frozen mousse of a dessert. Quick and easy, with no ice cream maker needed, this dessert may be served as a chilled mousse or frozen completely as a "gelato."

    Celebrate warm weather with nature's sweet berries. Simply served with a light dusting of powdered sugar, this dessert is not a sugar overload, because it relies on the natural sweetness of in-season berries.

    Here is smoky and slightly spicy twist on fried catfish. Instead of coating the catfish in a thick beer batter, I marinate the raw pieces in beer before seasoning them and lightly dredging them in flour
