We had a great show on Friday. Should college athletes be paid to pay college sports was the topic and we had some great comments. The show got so involved that the recipe didn't get finished. As promised here is the recipe for the Cinnamon Apple Scones. Enjoy!
Cinnamon Apple Scones
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons shortening, chilled
2 apple - peeled, cored and chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Using the dough mixer on your mixer cut in the shortening with the flour mixture until it resembles coarse corn meal.
3. Stir in the apples.
4.Whisk 1 egg, yogurt, 1 tablespoon milk, and almond extract together in a bowl until smooth. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until blended. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead 4 to 5 times. Shape the dough in a 1 1/2 inch thick circle.
5. Cut dough into 8 wedges, and place on the parchment covered baking sheet.
6. To make the scone topping, whisk the remaining 1 tablespon of milk and 1 egg together in a small bowl. Brush the tops of scones with the egg mixture then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle with almonds (if desired).
7. Bake in preheated oven about 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Sports Cynts Show for April 23, 2010
The “Mixing It Up!” Show on April 23 was eye opening!
We explored about how teams mesh together with players, coaches, owners, office personnel and even fans! We talked about the first round of the NFL Draft where Tim Tebow was taken in the first round and we’re waiting to see where Myron Rolle will go! I’ve been saying that any team that selected Tebow or Rolle would be getting great teammates who will work hard and do what it takes to be successful. Plus they’re 2 of the highest character guys with strong work ethics in this year’s draft.
Another offshoot topic was how AFC and NFC teams looked to me when I was young, based on how gritty the picture was on AFC games channel and how clear and bright it was on the NFC games channel.
Here is the recipe for the dessert we prepared - Mini Swirl Cheesecakes:
Mini Swirl Cheesecakes
6 Oreo cookies
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup sugar
4 squares semisweet baking chocolate
Muffin Tin
Foil or Paper baking cups
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line muffin tins with 12 foil or paper baking cups.
3. Divide Oreos in half making sure each half has cream on it. Place cream-topped cookies in the baking cups, cream side up.
4. In a medium mixing bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add eggs, lemon juice, and sugar and beat until smooth and thoroughly combined.
5. Place chocolate in a microwavable bowl. Microwave on high 1 to 1 ½ minutes or until chocolate is melted. After 1 minute, the squares will retain their shape until you stir them. If they’re not completely melted, continue microwaving in 15 second increments until melted (up to 1 ½ minutes).
6. Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of mixture into each muffin cup.
7. Add 6 tablespoons of the cream cheese batter to the melted chocolate. Beat until well blended. Spoon chocolate mixture over plain mixture in muffin cups and top with the remaining cream cheese batter. Swirl the chocolate and cream cheese batters together with a knife before baking..
8. Bake in preheated oven for 17 to 22 minutes. Cool on a rack. Pipe whipped cream or sweetened cream cheese on top of each cheesecake just prior to serving, if desired.
Don’t forget that I’m still looking for sponsorship to go to the 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame Experience in Canton, Ohio August 6 – 9. I’ll blog, tweet and hopefully do my show on location if I get there!
Remember: Let your presence be a blessing to others.

We talked bracket busters. I also mentioned my quest to go to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival August 6 - 9. Our recipe for the day was Tasty Taco Turnovers.

Sports Cynts Show for February 26, 2010
Today’s show was delicious! We talked about the Ladanian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook being released and where they may possibly end up…if anywhere. Baseball was mentioned! The NFL Combine was also talked about. Which quarterbacks are participating? What is the purpose of the Combine? Is it better to have a Pro Day at the school or participate in the Combine?
The 2 recipes for this week were Cyntsational Sliders and Peach Turnovers!
Cyntsational Sliders
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Montreal Steak seasoning
or
The Seasonings of your choice
1 pound ground beef/chuck/sirloin
(3-inch) buns or rolls (about 8), split in half
Your favorite Burger trimmings
Mixing bowl
Baking sheet
Rolling pin
Plastic wrap
Preheat either your George Foreman Grill (or equivalent) or your griddle/pan to 350 degrees.
Combine the spices and meat in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed.
Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper and place the ground meat in the middle of the pan. Cover the meat with a large sheet of plastic wrap and roll meat with a rolling pin until it covers the surface of the pan or until it is about ¼ inch high. Remove the plastic wrap. Use a sharp knife to cut the meat into even squares.
(optional) Preheat your oven to 250 degrees. Wrap the buns in foil and place in the oven for 6 to 7 minutes until warm.
Meanwhile, do one of these options:
• Place the burgers on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes
• Place the burgers on the griddle/pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Remove the buns from the oven and cut each one in half. Assemble the sliders on the buns with meat and the condiments/accessories of your choice.
Peach Turnovers
Either 1 - 29 oz can or 2 - 15 oz cans of sliced peaches (cut into smaller pieces)
1/3 Cup brown sugar (You may substitute granulated sugar or split them ½ and ½)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 sheets of frozen puff pastry , thawed
Cinnamon sugar/mixed
Mixing bowl
Parchment paper
Baking Sheet
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Combine the peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl.
Lay the puff pastry sheets on the parchment covered baking sheet (You may have to do one sheet at a time). Cut the pastry sheets into quarters (sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired).
Spoon some of the peach mixture lengthwise on one half of each rectangle, leaving ½” edge to seal. Fold over the other half and press to seal. Using a sharp knife cut small slits into the top of each turnover for steam vents.
Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar on top of the turnovers and place into oven. Bake 15-17 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven and serve when cool.
I welcome any feedback of the show and the recipes either on this blog or on my Facebook Sports Cynts Fan Page. Also post pictures of the dishes that you prepare from the recipes if you take them.
One of my goals for the upcoming football season is to attend the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival on August 6 - 9, 2010. This includes the Enshrinement Ceremony and the Game.

Sports Cynts Show for February 19, 2010
Today’s show was great! The main topic was Tiger Woods and his press conference. I don’t think Tiger owed anyone an apology except his family and maybe his sponsors. No matter what he said or how he was going to do the press conference, it was going to be analyzed, scrutinized, over analyzed and over scrutinized. My being a fan of his has nothing to do with his personal life, only what he does on the golf course.
I also gave my opinion on the Winter Olympic Games. Who came up with Curling and why is it a sport, not to mention an Olympic Sport? I don’t watch much of the Olympics, but I do keep up with the medal count. As of show time, the U.S. was ahead of all other nations in total number of medals (18) and in each medal!
Stars not participating in the NBA Slam Dunk Competition made it boring and the upcoming NFL Combine and Draft were other subjects of the show.
The appetizer for today was Chicken Pockets and today’s dessert was Apple Pockets. The recipes are below.
Chicken Pockets
4 servings
3 oz softened cream cheese
2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon salt
Dash black pepper
2 cups cooked and diced chicken
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1 8-ounce tube refrigerated crescent rolls
2 tablespoons melted butter
Mixing bowl
Parchment paper
Baking sheet
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a sheet of parchment paper on the baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and milk. Stir in the salt, pepper and green onions. Add the chicken and mix thoroughly.
Unroll the crescent rolls and place them on the parchment-covered baking sheet, but don’t separate the dough into the crescent roll triangles. Press the dotted seams between each crescent roll until the line splitting the crescent rolls is not visible.
Place ¼ of the mix in the center of each rectangle and bring the corners up to the center. Press the seams to seal.
Brush the top of the pockets with the melted butter. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until the pockets are brown.
Apple Pockets
16 servings
4 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
2 packages Pillsbury refrigerated rolled pie crust – 4 pie crusts
2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)
Cinnamon-sugar (optional)
Mixing bowl
Parchment paper
Baking Sheet
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and cover the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the apples in a large bowl and toss with the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.\
Unroll and divide each pie crust into quarters. Place an even amount of the apple mixture in each quarter. Fold the corners and sides up until completely sealed. Make a small slit in each pocket for a steam vent. (Optional – Brush the tops of the pockets with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar).
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown.
