This is my own recipe-I just copied it from my post on recipezaar (I go by mamacancook on there...)
Last Christmas I made a batch of each (plus a cinnamon honey butter I'll post in a separate post) I placed each in 4oz canning jars and gave as a "butter sampler" for gifts-They went over very well. My favorite is apricot,but my daughter and hubby loved cherry. My best friend and her son loved the blueberry....It's just a matter of taste,but if you want to make as gifts I know they went over very well with my friends and family
Recipe as follows (just substitute your favorite flavor of jelly)

Cheesy Mexican Chicken

Chicken breasts (however many you wanna eat!) browned in a large deep skillet.  Then add water and taco seasoning and cook completely.  Once cooked, remove chicken

Cooked rice.  Once cooked, add salsa and put into the deep skillet.  Place chicken on top and put lots of cheddar cheese on top of that.  Cook on low until the cheese gets "melty"  :-)

Pretty quick meal....

Grilled Chicken served over baby spinach and romaine lettuce with raspberry vinaigrette drsg

Start off by having hubby grill the already seasoned chicken ( we use onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, paprika, and sometimes oregano-I keep this on hand, can also use any other seasonings you like)  I usually let the chicken sit all day (I take a fork to the chicken and poke little holes and make sure the seasoning gets IN the chicken too)

Take raw baby spinach and romaine lettuce, toss this with raspberry vinaigrette, throw some alredy sliced carrots as well. 

When chicken is grilled, cut into thin strips and lay over salad, top with sliced almonds and more raspberry vinaigrette drsg-ENJOY! 

I came up with this after finding out that I also have a gluten and casein intolerance.  I use the almonds in place of bacon bits-I need something crunchy,lol.  And this is the ONLY way I can get my hubby to eat spinach.  He eats over 3/4 of it everytime I fix it!

Yummmy... everyone's recipe's sound mmm mmm good =)

Here is my recipe for Maryland Crab Cakes...

 

1/4 cup chopped red peppers

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/3 cup mayonnaise

2 and 1/2 Tbs. dijon mustard

1 Tbs. lime juice

1 and 1/2 Tbs. Old Bay seasoning

2 cans lump crab meat or 1 and 1/2 cups of fresh blue crab meat

1 med. egg - beaten

1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

3 Tbs. butter

1 tsp. garlic - minced

 

****************************************

Combine red pepper, green onions, mayonnaise, lime juice, Old Bay, mustard and garlic together into a large mixing bowl and stir well. 

Then add the egg, crab meat and about 1/3 of the bread crumbs and stir well until the mixture thickens and is hard to stir.

 Divide the mixture into four equal sized balls and roll the crab balls in the remaining bread crumbs until they are well coated.

Heat the butter in a non stick skillet on medium heat.

Carefully drop the crab cakes into the skillet, making sure that they have space between each other and saute' until crab cakes are golden brown on each side.

I usually top each crab cake with aioli sauce and serve on a bed of mixed greens!

 Enjoy =)

Oct. 5, 2007 at 4:08 PM Suprise Doughnut Holes-These are GFCF, not soy free though

1 cup water
1/2 cup soy margarine
1 cup potato starch flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 tsp salt
4 eggs
oil for deep frying
cinnamon sugar

In a 2-qrt saucepan, heat water and margarine until the mixture boils.  Remove pan from heat and stir in, all at once, the combined floure, sugar, and salt.  Continue stirring until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.  Then, with an electric mixture, beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
         Meanwhile, heat the oil for deep frying.  Use either an electric skillet set at 375 or an automatic deep fryer.  Use at least 1 inch of oul in the skillet or add oil up to the marked line on the deep fryer.
       Drop the batter into the heated oil by small rounded teaspoonfuls, a few at a time.  Fry until golden brown, turning them to brown easily.  They will puff up to about 1 1/2 inches as they cook (about 5 minutes altogether).  Remove and drain on paper towels.
         While still warm, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top (2 tablespoons sugar to 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon)
                                                         Makes 3 dozen holes

I will fix these for special occasions, like Christmas and Josef's birthday.  They are really good and my hubby says you can not tell the difference!  We only RESTRICT the amount of soy that Josef's receives (soy has high amounts of estrogen in it, something we should not be putting in a young child's body).  ENJOY! 

I found this recipe in one of my Bette Hagman cookbooks-I LOVE her!
