I did my best to edit this. I was spoiled about 1999 by a late member of my groups named Tony Bromeland who had been a copy editor at the Chicago Tribune. He made me paranoid about 1 t. as opposed to 1 tsp., 1 C as opposed to 1 cup, etc.
So I do my best to make things as clear possible.

{3} Della's Very Best Cornbread, submitted by Muriel, Muriel@wenells.us
Recipe By: Della Schenck
Serving Size: 6
Ingredients:
8 ounces sour cream
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
12 ounce package cornbread mix
8 1/2 ounce can cream style corn
Directions:
Combine sour cream, eggs, 1/2 cup oil and salt in a large bowl.
Stir in cornbread mix and corn. Place a well greased 8 inch cast
iron skillet in a 400 degree oven for 3 to 5 minutes or until hot.
Remove from oven; spoon batter into skillet.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until lightly browned.
I would use a 9 inch skillet, mine overflowed. I could not find a 12 ounce mix.
So used two Jiffy cornbread mixes and took out 5 ounces of the mix, since the
total was 17 ounces. Worked great. This is easy, very light cornbread and delicious.
Nice and moist too. A keeper.

{7} Skinny Chocolate Caramel Seven Layer Bars, submitted by Pam in Clifton, New Jersey, pamschwartz@hotmail.com
These seven layer (or magic) bars are a lightened-up version of the traditional
recipe and include a chocolate crust with caramel candies as a fun twist.
They're just as sweet, gooey and irresistible as the originals but are much nicer to your waistline!
Yields: 16 bars
10 sheets (155g) chocolate graham crackers
3 large egg whites
6 tbsp (30g) reduced fat unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup (56g) miniature chocolate chips
1/4 cup (30g) finely chopped pecans
4 caramel squares, diced (I used these)
4 oz (113g) fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup (60g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp (13g) Truvia
Preheat the oven to 350°F, and coat a 9"-square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Break the graham crackers into pieces, and add to a food processor or blender.
Pulse until they resemble fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, and add the egg whites.
Mix together until fully incorporated. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Sprinkle the coconut, chocolate chips, pecans, and diced caramel squares over the graham cracker
crust in that order. In a small bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, Greek yogurt, and Truvia.
Drizzled over the top.
Bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes.
Cool completely to room temperature, and allow the bars to set once they reach room temperature for at
least 3 hours before slicing into squares.
Notes: Feel free to use your favorite toppings instead! Just remember that the Nutrition Information may change if you do.
If you do not have Truvia, substitute 1 tablespoon of sugar (or the equivalent of your favorite no-calorie sweetener).
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

{10} Chocolate Lasagna, submitted by Nadine in Mo
1 package regular Oreo cookies (Not Double Stuff) – about 36 cookies
6 Tablespoon butter, melted
1- 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons cold milk
1- 12 ounce tub Cool Whip, divided
2 – 3.9 ounce packages Chocolate Instant Pudding.
3 1/4 cups cold milk
1 and 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
Begin by crushing 36 Oreo cookies. I used my food processor for this, but
you could also place them in a large zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
When the Oreo have turned into fine crumbs, you are done.
Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large bowl.
Stir in 6 tablespoons melted butter and use a fork to incorporate
the butter into the cookie crumbs.
When the butter is distributed, transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan.
Place the pan in the refrigerator while you work on the additional layers.
Mix the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy.
Add in 2 Tablespoons of milk, and sugar, and mix well.
Stir in 1 and 1/4 cups Cool Whip. Spread this mixture over the crust.
In a bowl, combine chocolate instant pudding with 3 and 1/4 cups cold milk.
Whisk for several minutes until the pudding starts to thicken.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture over the previous cream cheese layer.
Allow the dessert to rest for about 5 minutes so that the pudding can firm up further.
Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top.
Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the top.
Place in the freezer for 1 hour, or the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving.

{11} Jell-O Plus, submitted by Sherril Gerard in Santa Ana, CA, billnsherril@earthlink.com
Too darn hot to cook. Thank goodness my husband doesn't demand
hot meals these hot California nights. Been experimenting and found some
shortcuts for filling him up.
1 package of Jell-O any color, any flavor (4 cup size)
and use the regular 2 cups of hot water to start.
Then start to play with any of the following:
•stir in a couple handfuls of tiny marshmallows in the hot bath. Melt.
•Use the juice of mandarin oranges plus necessary water to get 2 cups
additional liquid. Slip in the oranges from the can last.
•Mountain Dew or 7-Up instead of the last 2 cups of liquid.
•Canned Pineapple and grated carrots make it a great salad.
•Chopped celery, pecans, and halved grapes make a great combo.
•Chopped apples, grapes, celery, and nuts in Jell-O makes a Waldorf combo
•Chunks of smoked salmon, and chopped cucumber in lemon makes an interesting
combo, but my husband didn't like it.
•You can always layer Jell-O and whipped cream in a tumbler with sliced
bananas (tilt the tumbler as you fill and you get a 45° angled presentation.
•Any time you use Cherry Jell-O, throw in some Maraschino Cherries.
Be sure to send me any other ideas that work for you.! ! !

{16} Senior Discounts, submitted by Vicki in Sarasota, vw13@comcast.net
As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently, I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 ...get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. (But you need to ASK for your discount.)
Being of 'that' age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount too.
This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start at the young age of 50 .
This list may not only be useful for you, but for your friends and family too.

{17} Blueberry Angel Food Trifle, submitted by Freddie in San Antonio, Texas, freddiebjohnson@prodigy.net
I made this a week ago and it's delicious; great for hot weather too; no baking.
See my note at the end of the recipe.
:
Serving Size : 8
8 ounces angel food cake -- cubed from 8 - 12 oz store-bought cake
2 box vanilla pudding mix -- the cooked kind, made up *
4 cups blueberries
2/3 cup cream
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Spread about 1/3 of the cake cubes in the bottom of a large trifle bowl (or any deep 3 - 4 qt. bowl.
Spread about 1/3 of the pudding over the cubes and top with 1/4 of the blueberries.
Repeat twice finishing with the third layer of pudding
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl, using a hand mixer, whip the cream with the sugar and
vanilla till it holds soft peaks. Spread it over the top and garnish with the remaining blueberries.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours before serving.
* The recipe calls for a recipe of homemade vanilla pudding but I know that if I have to do that before making
this, it won't happen.

8 ounce package of Neufchatel cream cheese
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon molasses
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts
If desired toast nuts by placing in a skillet over medium heat.
Heat just until the walnuts become fragrant. When the walnuts
become fragrant remove from the skillet. Watch the skillet closely,
there is a short time between the nuts being toasted and burnt.
Allow the nuts to cool completely.
In a small bowl combine room temperature cream cheese, honey,
molasses, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir cream cheese until all of
the ingredients are well blended. Chop walnuts and stir into the
cream cheese.
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

{21} Cantaloupe Salad, submitted by Rosemarie in Kansas City, rmcdlc11@gmail.com
1 medium cantaloupe, cut into 1 inch cubes
10-20 leaves of basil, chiffonade (save a few whole for garnish)
10 green olives, sliced
1/4 Cup red onion, very thinly sliced
1 Cup fresh mozzarella balls, cut into quarters
Olive oil
Red wine vinegar (I used BALSAMIC because we love it so!)
Juice from 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
In large bowl, toss the cantaloupe, basil strips, olives, red onion slices and mozzarella balls together.
Lightly dress the salad with a good pour of olive oil and an even longer drizzle of vinegar.
Juice one lime and toss into the salad, garnish generously with salt and pepper and taste.
Salad is good straight away but even better chilled for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld
(Was even still really good tonight, too)
