May 3, 2001 i The Kings Mountain Herald GARY STEWART / THE HERALD Sandra Murphrey, left, and Sue Drye of the Magnolia Garden Club plant flowers at the intersec- tion of Battleground Avenue and West Gold Street Tuesday as part of the city’s ongoing down- town beatifi cation: Jproject. New cookbook helps fight cancer Dawn Hall of Ohio used to wake up every morning dream- ing about'fiew recipes. Fora" while, she feared her food ad- diction would consume her. Little did she know those same ideas would help nurse her husband back to heaith. In November 1994, her hus:.. band, Tracy, was diagnosed with aggressive brain'cancer the day after his 32nd birthday. He was expected to live only six fo eight months. In the summer of 1995, Dawn, a homemaker and an aerobics instructor devoted to! helping compulsive over-eaters, decided to publish her own cookbook to pay for experimen- tal cancer treatments that Tracy’s insurance wouldn't cov- er. She formed Cozy Homestead Publishing and has since sold hundreds of thou- sands of books and helped oth- ers pay for their cancer treat- ment. The cookbook has more than 240 homestyle recipes that you don’t have to feel guilty about enjoying. That's because she eliminates hidden calories and fats while maintaining the fla- vors people love. The budget- friendly recipes contain less than seven simple ingredients and complete nutritional infor- mation. There's an entire chap- ter on Crock-Pot recipes, too. For a taste of what's in “2nd Serving of Busy People’s Low- fat Recipes” try this recipe: CHOCOLATE CHEWY COOKIES (Makes 4 dozen) 1 container (8 ounces) of Cool Whip Free 2 egg whites 1 box (18.25 ounces) reduced fat te cake mix (use dry'— do not make as directed on box) 1/4 cup powdered sugar Preheat oven to 350 E.

Traditionally, getting garden fresh produce meant digging and tending your own plot. For many folks these days, a lack of time and space makes that op- tion impossible. For those who have an urge to harvest a bounty of crops, the § pick-your-own route might be one to consider. An increasingly popular way to fill a basket with good stuff to eat, pick- your-own farms are also an ex- cellent way for the farmer to market his crops. There’s a good choice of pick- your-own farms in Gaston, Cleveland, and surrounding counties. Most offer some type of harvest during all but the dead of winter. For people itch- ing to get a little dirt under their fingernails, here’s a tour of area places to do some pickin’ and grinnin’. One of the best places to pick fruit and vegetables is Linebergers’ Maple Springs Farm. Located on the Dallas- Stanley Highway (N.C. 275), Linebergers’ has about 10 acres of growing area. Picking for strawberries begins in early May. Price for these juicy berries is $4 per gallon pick- your-own, and $6 per gallon ready-picked. Come June, blackberries, raspberries and early vegetables will begin to be ready. Fall brings pumpkins to Maple Springs Farm. Also available during the autumn are greens, muscadines, and gourds. Other items such as jams and jellies are available. Call 704-922-8688 for more in- formation and picking times. In Kings Mountain, Ervin and Debbie Lineberger’s Killdeer Farm is a highly popular desti- Page 7B TT ETT TVET IR a aa aaa assy Photo courtesy of NC Division of Tourism, Film and Sports Development. nation for pick-your-own fans.

Varieties include strawberries, grapes, peaches, raspberries, pumpkins, greens, corn, and more. A store featuring Killdeer Farm produce and other items opened April 27. In Lincoln County, Linebergers’ Berry Hill Farm in Iron Station will have their berries ready for picking in ear- ly May. The farm is located on Hudson Poultry Road in Iron Station five miles east of Lincolnton off N.C. 27. Prices for pick your own strawberries are $4 do it yourself, and $6 ready pick. Down in the Upcountry of South Carolina, there are sever- al pick-your-own type farms. Offering everything from ap- ples to zucchini, these spots pour forth a cornucopia of good stuff.

Varieties available at Bush-N-Vine in- clude strawberries, blueberries, corn, green beans, crowder peas, tomatoes, cantaloupes, and even watermelons.

Also in York County, Black's Peaches on S.C. 5 three miles west of the town of York has a mix of fruits and vegetables to pick. Besides offering 30 vari- eties of peaches, Black's offers corn, strawberries, and toma- toes. In the autumn, pumpkins will be available.
