recipe Dinner Recipe: Pork & Mango Stir-Fry
Servings: 4
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step

A recipe is special when everyone in your family raves about it. My finicky eaters each give a thumbs-up for this hearty, nutty stir-fry.
Recipe by: Kathleen Specht ~ Clinton, Montana


    Ingredients:
  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
  • 6 ounces uncooked multigrain angel hair pasta
  • 1 package (8 ounces) fresh sugar snap peas
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1/3 cup reduced-sugar orange marmalade
  • 1/4 cup reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chopped peeled mango
  • 1/4 cup lightly salted cashews, coarsely chopped

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Cut tenderloin lengthwise in half; cut each half crosswise into thin slices. Toss pork with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and, if desired, pepper flakes. Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the pork; stir-fry 2-3 minutes or just until browned. Remove from pan; repeat with remaining pork.
  • Stir-fry snap peas and red pepper in remaining oil 2-3 minutes or just until crisp-tender. Stir in marmalade, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar and garlic; cook 1-2 minutes longer. Return pork to pan. Add mango and cashews; heat through, stirring to combine. Serve with pasta.


recipe Dessert Recipe: Easter Lamb Cake
Servings: 16
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step

Lamb cake might be the most impressive Easter dessert centerpiece!
Recipe by: Debra Waggoner ~ Grand Island, Nebraska
    Ingredients:
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

  • Frosting:
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3-3/4 to 4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Assorted decorations: Sweetened shredded coconut, sprinkles and jelly beans

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Place egg whites in a small bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°. Thoroughly grease and flour inside of a 3D lamb cake pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt together twice; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
  • Add cream of tartar to egg whites; with clean beaters, beat on high speed just until stiff but not dry. Fold a fourth of the whites into batter, then fold in remaining whites.
  • Gently transfer to bottom half of mold (the bottom half is the face of the lamb). Place top mold (back of lamb) on top, interlocking seams (make sure half with vent hole is on top to permit steam to escape). Place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in vent hole comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
  • For frosting, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Frost cake. Attach sprinkles for eyes and nose; sprinkle body with coconut. If desired, decorate with additional coconut and jelly beans.
