Despite all the COVID-induced roadblocks, the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce went ahead and planned a virtual event for its annual gala and awards ceremony. The planners are well underway and the invitations for the discussion night on the 17th are out the door. The month of April will be sent. The virtual portion of the evening begins at 7 p.m., so guests can pick up their pre-ordered meal before then at Guest House Grill or Don Q, Atascadero.
Josh Cross, President and CEO of the Chamber, and Vicki Lee, Vice President of Operations, along with her committee, took on the challenge of hosting a special evening honoring the Atascadero Citizen of the Year, Businessman of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Ambassador of the Year, and Non-Profitor of the Year.
At 5:30 p.m., guests with VIP tickets can enjoy a tasting as they sample wine with Alta Colina, beer with Wild Fields or cocktails with Forager Spirits. They pick up their tasting kit and are ready for a hands-on tasting with a participating contractor.
For more information or to purchase tickets, visit atascaderochamber.org or call (805)466-2044. VIP tickets are limited, so book now!
I hope you celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with corned beef and cabbage. Now you can enjoy one of these delicious leftover corned beef sandwiches, or slice up some beef and add it to rustic baked potatoes or scrambled eggs. For sandwiches, I use Orowheat dark rye or pumpernickel. A slice of Swiss mustard is always a good addition, as is a slice of red onion and ground mustard mixed with a dash of mayonnaise. Yummy!
I studied my copy of a wonderful cookbook published in 2007 by the Bay Area Assistance League of Houston, Texas, titled Settings – Sunrise to Sunset. I wanted some easy pie recipes for spring and especially Easter. Here are a few that I think you’ll enjoy.
Apricot and lemon cake
Ingredients:
1 packet yellow cake mix
1 packet lemon gelatin
4 eggs
¾ cup apricot nectar
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 bottle lemon extract
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the cake mix, gelatin, eggs, apricot nectar, oil and lemon extract in a bowl and beat until smooth. Place in a greased and floured pan or bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Let cool slightly and turn out onto a pie plate. Combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl and stir until smooth. Pour it over the hot cake. The cake can be frozen.
Angel cake with lemon
Ingredients:
1 angel cake (store bought or homemade)
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 can of sweetened condensed milk

Chopped almonds
Directions:
Using a serrated knife, cut the cake into three layers. Beat the lemon juice, condensed milk, vanilla extract and almond extract in a bowl until you have a thick glaze. Space between the layers and on the top of the cake. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with almonds. Keep them in the fridge.
