Low Calorie Strawberry Shortcakes by Ashley

dI checked out a Hungry Girl recipe book from my local library recently and found all kinds of low calorie/fat sweet treats. It is no surprise to anyone that knows me that I LOVE sweets, so this is a good alternative for me. My boys loved them also. Check out the Banana Pudding also.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup angel food cake mix
3/4 cup Cool Whip Free, thawed
3/4 sugar-free strawberry preserves
3/4 cup sliced strawberries
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups. (you need to use baking cups)
Place cake mix in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup water. Using electric mixer, beat at low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and mix for 1 minute. Let sit for 2 minutes. Divide evenly into baking cups and cook for 12-15 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
Allow cupcakes to cool completely. Spread preserves on top of each cupcake. Top with Cool Whip and sliced strawberries.

Grew up having it and everyone in college made it.

Crush 1 1/2 sleeves of crackers and pour into butter. Stir and spread over bottom of dish. Shred COOKED chicken(boil it to cook it) and layer over crackers. Mix sour cream and both soups together and pour over chicken. Melt 1/2 stick of butter in a mixing bowl. Crush remaining crackers and add to butter. Stir until mixed well then add to top of casserole. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Beans, Beans, they are good for your heart. :) By: Lindsey

So, maybe because we are from the South...I don't know...but the men of our family L-O-V-E beans. Any kind of bean will do. But they love them. And honestly, most of us women do to. I just started making beans for my hubby. My mother-in-law(the woman who sends me most of these yummy recipes on here) has introduced to me a new way and EASY way to make some good ole black eyed peas and lima bean mixture(or whatever kind of bean you would like). I made them tonight and my dad and husband absolutely loved them. My Dad said he would rather have those beans then the ones my Mom makes with a real ham hock. ha. That should tell you how good they are. Here ya go...it is easy breezy. 1 bag of frozen lima beans(or baby lima beans) 1 bag of black eyed peas 1 can of green beans(optional) 3 packets of Goya Ham Seasoning(they come in a box) Combine all beans together in a pot. Fill up the pot with water just covering the beans. Pour three packets of Goya Ham Seasoning in the pot. Stir...
