High-tech Redneck Cooking

CH-Logo1 How many of you use Twitter? I have mentioned my use of Twitter several times in my posts and I always update my followers when new posts go up here on CliqueClack Food. Twitter is a great tool. There are millions of people that use Twitter as well. I have a very diverse group of people that I follow ranging from other CliqueClack writers, to many local, national, and international news agencies, to local and national politicians, and to other folks who are as interested in the outdoors as I am. Some of my favorite folks to follow are the ones posting cooking tips and recipes. There are a good number of these folks on Twitter and I have gotten some good ideas for for my cooking as well as for my posts here.

I want to introduce you all to candh_sugar. This is the official Twitter account of C and H Sugar. A name we all have known for years and have probably used their sugar in many of our recipes.

candh_sugar Posts a lot of simple and tasty recipes for their Twitter followers. The recipes are simple posts that resemble a recipe card from your grandmother’s recipe box and are easily printable.

The recipes cover many different types of dishes such as this recipe for Shrimp on a stick: grilled tender shrimp marinated in a sweet, spicy sauce wrapped in crisp bacon.

Have a craving for Chocolate? How about trying these Classic Cake Brownies. These are soft-style brownies with plenty of chocolate flavor.

How about some Chocolate-Raspberry Cupcakes? these are flavored with cocoa, cinnamon, and almonds. Plus a raspberry surprise inside!

Maybe you are looking for something healthier and yet sweet and delicious. Try these Cranberry Apple Cookies. these are fruit-filled with a Just a touch of citrus and cinnamon. This recipe was posted after I jokingly threatened to stop following them because the recipes they were posting sounded so good that it would ruin my diet if I started trying all of the tasty sweets they were posting.

The Twitter master of this account is not some automated script that randomly posts recipes from the C and H Sugar archives. The person behind the scenes really does read the posts of those following them and makes a very good effort to post recipes that those followers will like.

Maybe you want something with more of an international flavor. Try this Vanilla Carmel Flan. The whipped egg whites make it light as a cloud — smooth, silky & creamy. I have never tried flan, but after reading this recipe I am ready to try it.

One that I will be trying very soon is the Peachy Peach Pie. This recipe took first prize at a Kansas State Fair baking contest! I love peaches and this recipe will fit well with my peach upside down cake.

One last recipe for you to think about. The Chocolate Truffle Dessert Ball with sweet crackers sounds so good. A scrumptious chocolate/peanut butter truffle with light, crispy cookies.
