Hello! This is MY ENTRY for the Harvest Recipe Cookbook 2008! In here, you will find two edible recipes that I dug out from cookbooks and the internet. I hope you enjoy!

Dee :: Hello! Welcome toooo......... Dee-Lightful Treats! I'm your host, Dee Lite, and I'm here to show you to delicious foods that my staff members found. The appiteizer is from my freind, Lilly, who will only eat healthy, organic foods. The dessert is from my boyfriend, a.k.a. the head chef of BellaDonna Cafe. So, here are some rules I want you to know.

Dee :: If you're tired of the nasty Thanksgiving foods that smell horrible, then JUST DON'T MAKE THEM! It's as simple as that.

Dee :: Numero dos - make sure you know how to cook... Us Sims gotta keep our houses safe from fires.

Dee :: Last rule - NEVER go in the kitchen if you... A.) Hate Food ||| B.) Cannot Cook ||| C.) If you are a child and start cooking something without parent's permission ||| D.) You don't follow directions...

Dee :: LET'S GET COOKIN'!

Dee :: For the Spinach Salad with Apples and Pomegranite Seeds, or the organic appeteizer, you will need :::::

1/2 cup KRAFT FREE Honey Dijon Dressing
2 1/2 cups of coarsely chopped apples (about 2 medium)
1/2 of pomegranite seeds
1/4 cup of chopped celery
6 cups of baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup of toasted PLANTERS Pecans, coarsely chopped

Dee :: Place the apples, pomegranite seeds, and the celery in a large bowl. Add the dressing to the mix, and stir it together.

Then, add the spinach and pecans, toss lightly.

Dee :: AND there is your very own, easy-to-make salad! Very tasty and healthy!

Dee :: Now, let's move on to the fan-taste-ic DESSERT! For the dessert, we will have Lemon Pudding Cake, which tastes a lot like Lemon Meringue Pie. You will need :::::

1/2 cup of sugar
3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of finely shredded lemon peel
3 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of melted margarine
2 slightly beate egg yolks
1 cup of milk
2 egg whites

*Recipe Courtesy of Better Homes & Gardens : New Cook Book*

Dee :: Step one - Combine the sugar and flour. Stir in the lemon peel, lemon juice, and melted margarine. Combine yolks and the milk. Add the flour to mixture ; stir just till combined.

Dee :: Step Two - Beat egg whites till stiff peaks form {tips stand straight}. Then, gently fold the egg whites into the lemon batter.

Director :: Mmmmmm.... Lemons!!!

Director :: Perfect, Dee, perfect! She looks so concentrated...

Dee :: Yes, and you're messing me up!

Dee :: Step Three - Transfer batter to a 1-quart casserole. Place it in a larger pan on the oven rack. Add hot water to larger pan to a depth of 1 inch.

Dee :: Step Four - Next, you bake it in a 350 degree oven...

Dee :: YOU MUST wait 40 minutes until it is ready!

Dee :: Step Five - Take the cake out of the oven when it is yellowy-golden. Garnish it any way you like!

Dee :: This dish serves 4 Sims, so limit your servings!

Director :: Mmm... Dee? Can I steal a bite?

{Dee gives him dirty look}

Director :: ...Sorry...

Dee :: LAST BUT NOT LEAST, you can eat it! Yum, yum, yum!

Thanks for watching Dee-Lightful Treats with me, Dee Lite. Have a good and tasty day!
