Big Daddy's Fruit Freezer

by News Canada

(NC)—Real men eat this yogurt! It's a truly fabulous frozen dessert or snack. So fast and easy that even your favourite I-hate-to-cook guy will like to make it, and so good that he'll want to make it every day. Makes one delicious man-size portion.

Ingredients and Preparation

3/4 cup (175 mL) or 175 g container vanilla yogurt

1 cup (250 mL) raspberries, blueberries or strawberries, frozen

1/2 very ripe banana, peeled and frozen

Cut banana (and large strawberries if used) into small pieces. Mix fruit with yogurt. Using a food processor or powerful hand blender, quick puree starting with a rapid on/off technique. Don't puree it too long and dig in before it melts!

Oatmeal-Apple-Raisin Muffins

by LeAnn R. Ralph

These muffins are not only tasty, but they're also a good source of fiber. In recent years, health experts have come to realize that fiber is an important part of a heart-healthy diet. Using Canola oil also increases the health benefits of these muffins. 1 egg 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice added) 1 cup oatmeal (either quick-cooking or old-fashioned oatmeal; I like to use the old-fashioned) 1/2 cup of brown sugar 1/2 cup cooking oil 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 apple chopped 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Electric Melons!

by Ed Williams

Know what one of my favorite summer pastimes is?

Eatin’ watermelon.

That’s right, just eatin’ some cold, juicy watermelon.

People these days don’t really know how to eat one. It‘s been made way too civilized. Back when I was growing up, we enjoyed melons every day, and I learned how to really eat and enjoy one.

Back in those days, Ed Jr. would grow a large garden behind our house. We lived on a big hill, and he grew the melons on some flat land down at its bottom. He always grew melons, corn, squash, butterbeans, and a few other things. It seems like we mostly pulled melons in either June or July of each year.

When those months rolled around, Ernest or I had the daily job of going down the hill and determining which melon to pull Electric Melons! Recipe
