Black-eyed Pea Baked Squash

5 pounds medium-size yellow squash
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 to 2 cups bread crumbs (see note)
4 ounces (1 stick) butter or margarine
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons chopped onion
Dash of freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut off tips of squash, then cut each squash into 3 or 4 pieces. Drop squash into a large saucepan with enough boiling water to cover. Return to a boil, reduce heat and cook until tender. Drain squash in colander, then place in a large bowl and mash.

Stir in eggs, crumbs, butter, sugar, salt, onion and pepper. Spoon mixture into a 3-quart casserole that has been lightly greased or coated with vegetable oil spray. Sprinkle a light layer of bread crumbs on top. Bake until lightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes.

Makes 12 servings.

NOTE: Best if made with Black-Eyed Pea's whole-wheat rolls - about 3 needed - plus more for topping.

Applebee's Apple Chimi-cheesecake

This is simple and easy. Make a cheesecake and add cooked apples to the cake. (I have used apples out of canned pie filling, taking just the apples from the can. Omit the excess syrup filling.) After it firms up, cut into pieces.

Wrap in a flour tortilla. Tie it up with string to hold it together so it will not come undone during frying.

Fry them in oil at 350 degrees F. Fry until golden brown and serve it with caramel sauce. You can use caramel topping for ice cream or you can make it yourself using soft caramels. Melt them using a double broiler (this comes the closest to the caramel we use for the chimis at Applebee's).
