SNOWBALL CAKE 2 pkgs. unflavored gelatin 4 Tablespoons cold water 1 cup boiling water 1 can (16-oz.) crushed pineapple

"MAGIC COOKIE BARS" 1 stick butter o r margarine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup butterscotch chips 1 cup flaked coconut 1 cup chopped nuts (use your favorite!) 1 can sweetened co ndensed milk

2 boxes Dream Whip (2 boxes in each box) 1 large angel food cake

1 cup coconut juice of one lemon 1 cup sugar

Melt butter in a 9 x 13 pan. Spread graham cracker crumbs evenly over the melted butter. Layer the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and coconut over the crumbs. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the whole pan of " goodies". Sprinkle with nuts over the top. Bake in a 350° oven for 30 minutes. Remove and cool thoroughly. Cut into squares or bars! NOTES: Lasts forever when stored in the refrigerator. You can omit the nuts, coconut or one type of "chip" if you want...but then they're not as good!!! I usually let mine sit in the refrigerator overnight before I cut them...They do not get firm until they are completely cool. Sometimes I just use the whole 12-oz. packages of chips instead of 1 cup...it doesn't hurt them at all!!!

Dissolve gelatin in cold water; add boiling water; cool slightly. Stir in lemon juice, cru sh– ed pineapple (including juice) and sugar. Chill until partially set. Prepare one box of Dream Whip according to directions on package. Fold into gelatin mixture. Crumble angel food cake into small pieces. Fold into gelatine mixture. Chill overnight. Prepare remaining box of Dream Whip and combine with coco– nut. Spread over top of dessert.

HEALTH FOR THE HOLIDAY (continued from page 1) Q. Which holiday treats should be avoid– ed and which can be indulged in? A. All of the things we've discussed in terms of diet in general hold true over the holidays. And during holidays we have one additional thing - alcohol. Alcohol has more calories than any other food item. More than protein, more than carbohydrates, and more than fat. Also, you usually drive to a party, and with more drinks, you're less likely to be able to get home. A sort of admonition about alcohol is to not have more than one drink in an hour, because it takes about an hour to metaboli ze the alcohol in one drink. Also, if you have food, it will slow down the rate of absorption . Q. I know you don't recommend losing weight fast, but what kind of advice would you give to people who really want to lose a few last minute pounds before the holidays? A. Calories are what make people thin and fat, so if you really insi st that you've

got to get down five pounds in a certain amount of time, remember that it takes 3500 calories for one pound. If you need to lose five pounds you have to give up 3500 calories times five pounds or 17,500 calories. In addition you can burn up with vigorous exercise about ten calories per minute, so if you exer– cise for thirty minutes you can burn up another 300 calories. Any advise I can give you is to very strictly count your calories and use this as a guide. I would additionally urge people not to take water pills, or diuretics, because this can be very dangerous. It depletes the body of very important things like potassium, which you need for heart regularity. The same thing can happen with people who purge themselves with lots of laxatives. We have six weeks until Christmas, so realize how long it will take and start a little sooner than you otherwise might have.

cussed which you would like to add? A. Yes, managing stress. Most impor– tantly we should recognize that we are in charge of our lives. Nobody can make us anxious. Nobody can make us tense. Nobody can make us angry. Nobody can make us depressed. We are the only ones that can allow these things to happen. That doesn't mean that there may not be events in what we do, or our working lives, or Christmas, or anything else, that are depressing; but we are the ones that decide and allow ourselves to remain depressed or unhappy or jealous or guilty or whatever. One has to analyze these feelings, and see if feeling that way is helping anything that we're doing. If not, then we should begin to look at ways of getting rid of these attitud es. Exercise and activity may be one way. M ed itating may be another. A vacation may be another. Recognize that we cont rol our emotion s. Maybe not very well sometimes, but other people are not the cause of our fee lings. It's up to ourselves. Page 5
