(NAPSI)-If preparing tasty, home-cooked meals seems like one more thing to fit into your busy schedule, you're not alone.
A recent survey from ConAgra Foods revealed that 49 percent of Americans say they are often short on time and energy when it comes to preparing meals, let alone baking. According to Sandra Lee, bestselling author of the "Semi-Homemade" cookbook series, you can use a slow cooker to prepare not only dinner but dessert as well. Try her hassle-free Semi-Homemade Strawberries and Cream Cake.
Sandra Lee's Strawberries And Cream Cake
Prep 25 minutes
Cook 1½ to 2½ hours (High)
Makes 8 servings
PAM® cooking spray
1 box (18.25-ounce) strawberry cake mix
1¼ cups strawberry-banana nectar
¾ cup Egg Beaters®
½ cup sour cream
⅓ cup Wesson Canola Oil®
¼ cup cake flour
2 cans (12-ounces each) whipped cream cheese frosting
1 cup frozen (thawed) or fresh strawberries, sliced (plus more for garnish, optional)
1. Coat an 8x3-inch round cake pan with PAM. Wrap foil around the bottom of pan. Crumple aluminum foil to create a "ring base" about 5 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat cake mix, nectar, Egg Beaters, sour cream, Wesson oil and flour with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl; beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Place foil ring in bottom of slow cooker; pour ½ inch of hot water into bottom of slow cooker. Using 2 long strips of foil, make an X over foil ring and bring up sides of slow cooker to assist removing pan from slow cooker.
Place pan on top of ring and the X in slow cooker. Stack 6 paper towels; place on top of slow cooker. Secure with lid.
4. Cook on high heat setting for 1½ to 2½ hours or until a wooden tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean. (Do not lift the lid for the first hour of cooking.)
5. Use foil strips to lift pan from slow cooker. Place pan on wire rack; cool completely.
6. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup of the cream cheese frosting with sliced strawberries until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
7. To assemble, remove cooled cake from pan and slice horizontally to make 2 layers. Place 1 layer on serving plate. Spread strawberry filling evenly over layer and top with second cake layer. Frost entire cake with remaining cream cheese frosting. Garnish with fresh strawberries.

Urgent: Food Product Recall Re: Imitation Cream Cheese and Low Protein Peanot Butter™
Cambrooke Foods® is announcing a voluntary recall of all batches of the following products:
* Cheddar Wizard Low Protein Imitation Cream Cheese (SKU 10310; 8 oz. jar);
* Herb & Garlic Low Protein Imitation Cream Cheese (SKU 10308; 8 oz. jar); and
* Plain Low Protein Imitation Cream Cheese (SKU 10306; 8 oz. jar).
Cambrooke Foods® is undertaking this voluntary recall as a precaution because some of these products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
For the above-listed Imitation Cream Cheese products, Listeria monocytogenes was detected through routine batch testing of product at a company facility before it was sent to customers. These batches of Imitation Cream Cheese products were destroyed. While no reports of adverse events have been reported with any product shipped to our customers, we are taking the precautionary step to recall all Imitation Cream Cheese products, regardless of batch number.
To be abundantly cautious and proactive, Cambrooke Foods® is also conducting a market withdrawal of all batches of:
* Low Protein Peanot Butter™ (SKU 10809; 16 oz. jar).
This product is being withdrawn because it is produced in the same facility and using the same machinery used to produce the Imitation Cream Cheese products. Testing has not confirmed Listeria contamination in any batch of Low Protein Peanot Butter™ nor have any adverse events been reported as a result of its consumption. No other Cambrooke Foods™ product is produced using this machinery.
Cambrooke Foods™ is working directly with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate the cause of this contamination. Cambrooke Foods™ has voluntarily suspended manufacture and distribution of these products pending its investigation.
If you have purchased any of these products since May 2008, please take the following actions immediately:
1. discard all units of these products remaining in your possession;
2. complete the online Recall Response Form
If you have questions or require further information, contact Cambrooke Foods® toll-free 866-456-9776, ext. 1015, or via email at safetyfirst@cambrookefoods.com
