2. Annie Betty's Chocolate Pound Cake

Pick up a little slice and smile
From the, "Houston Junior League Cookbook," published in cooperation with your Daily InBox newsletter.

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup margarine
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup milk

Powdered sugar (optional)
TO PREPARE:

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour Bundt pan. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together; set aside. Cream margarine, shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla and cocoa; beat until smooth. Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix well. Remove 2 cups batter, and make cupcakes. (Bake the cupcakes while cake is baking, but bake them only 30-45 minutes.) Pour remainder of batter into prepared Bundt pan. Bake in preheated oven at least 1 hour, or until done. Let cake stand in pan for about 30 minutes; then invert onto wire rack. Powdered sugar may be sifted on top just before serving. (Sugar turns brown if put on in advance.) This cake is even better 1 or 2 days after it is made, as it becomes more moist. Freezes well.

3. Apricot Parfait

Simple, pretty, healthy. Also delicious with blueberry or raspberry preserves.

½ cup apricot preserves

5 shortbread cookies

2 cups Vanilla Mountain High Yoghurt

½ cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks

Pour the preserves into a small bowl and stir until thinned.

For each of the parfaits, spoon 1 tablespoon of the preserves into a parfait glass. Top with 1 cookie, then some yoghurt, then another layer of preserves. Finish by topping with a dollop of whipped cream.

Makes 5 servings.

4. Argentinean-Style Steak
Ingredients:

2                 beef T-bone or porterhouse steaks, cut 1" thick
3 tbsp.        olive oil
2 tbsp.        snipped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp.         snipped fresh oregano or 1 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
2 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp.       each salt, ground red pepper
Directions:
      On a grill with a cover, arrange heated coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above pan. Place steaks on grill rack directly over pan. Cover and grill steaks to desired doneness. (Use meat thermometer...140º F - Rare, 150º F - Medium internal temp.) Sauce: Stir olive oil, parsley, oregano, garlic, salt and red pepper. Spoon sauce on top of steaks for last 2 minutes of grilling.
To grill directly: Grill steaks on an uncovered grill directly over medium coals to desired doneness, turning once. [Allow 8 - 12 minutes for medium-rare (145º F) doneness or 12 to 15 minutes for medium (150º F) doneness.]
An oregano-accented sauce brings out the best in T-bone or porterhouse steak. Try it on sirloin steak, too.
      To broil: Place steaks on unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil with surface of steak 3 - 4" from heat to desired doneness, turning once. [Allow 15 - 20 minutes for medium-rare (145º F) to medium (150º F) doneness.] Spoon sauce on steaks for last 2 minutes of broiling.
