Thanks Miles and Pat to get this started.

The First one on my list

Cake Frosting
3 Cups Sifted Powdered Sugar
1/3 Cup Crisco(NOT liquid, Shorting only)
1/4 Cup Boiling Water
1/2 Teaspoon White Vanilla or any White Flavoring

Beat until smooth with mixer.(Make sure you have a mixer, this usually takes 10-20 minutes to mix.) Taste just like store bought.

Learned this one in 4-H also.

Chocolate Chip Bread for Bread Machine
Makes 1.5 lb loaf

1 (.25 oz) PKG Dry Yeast
3 Cups Bread Flour
2 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoon White Sugar
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
4 Tablespoon Butter(I use Blue Bonnet)
1 Egg
1 Cup Milk
1/4 Cup Water
1 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips(Freeze first are they will melt)

Set aside the Chocolate Chips do not add at first and keep in freezer until needed, other wise it will be chocolate bread. Trust me I know.

Jalapeno Bacon Poppers

Jalapeno Peppers(I use 20-30 peppers)
Cream Cheese(I use 1 regular pkg)
Bacon(I cut the pkg in half)
Toothpicks(I just have the box out)

Wear Gloves when you prepare this.(I don't because I am used to them)

Wash peppers first. Then cut peppers in half, remove seeds.(I do not remove all the seeds, only 95% of them to give them a hotter flavor.) Fill centers with cream cheese. Put halves back together. Cut bacon strips in half. Wrap bacon strip around pepper and secure with toothpick.(If pepper is really big use 2 toothpicks) Place on cookie sheet. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees, or until bacon is done.(Keep an eye on this because the bacon grease will start to splatter. So I have to drain this 1-2 times in the cooking cycle.)When done place peppers on a couple of paper towels to soak up grease.
