CHICAGO - Twinkies, they're not just for dessert anymore. The new "Twinkies Cookbook" has recipes for everything from a Twinkie Burrito to Twinkie Lasagna.
Theresa Cogswell compiled about 50 recipes for the book.
Many were submitted to Hostess, as part of Twinkies' 75th anniversary celebration last year.
Cogswell tells Illinois' Daily Southtown newspaper that one of her favorites is a berry-laden Patriotic Twinkie Pie.
It's red, white and blue.
Cogswell says it makes a great centerpiece for a Fourth of July picnic, which you can also eat for dessert.

Unless they just mean things that *appear* like burritos or lasagna...that's just wrong. Very, very wrong. Sick and wrong.
I thought a Twinkie WAS a burrito of sorts. Leave good enough alone.
That is a photoshop, right??? right???? Oh please tell that gross thing isn't for real!
Oh dear...
Ya know, for all the "pure beef" claim, that sure doesn't look like any beef I've ever seen. *shudder* And the little Twinkie cowboy is pretty scary.
Gotta be Photoshop...or I'm gonna have nightmares.

Ah, I didn't think of that - the "appearance" of such savories. Thank you!
I make a mean Twinkamisu, myself.
That's Twinkie the Kid. ;-)
Three million years from now sojourners from the planet Nuknuk are going to be at an archaeological dig somewhere on this Earth and they're going to find a little object still wrapped in its plastic wrapper, of a color not found in nature and made of substances that will convince them that it is an artifact of a high civilization. They will not be able to read the letters "Sell by Apr 1963" but they will worship it anyway.
Pretty bad, but nowhere near as weird as:
Heard they had a recipe for "Twinkie™-misu" (tiramisu).
Hey, I'd try it.
They did? I thought *I* invented that! It was born of necessity. However, it's quite tasty. Guess I should see how they did theirs so I can get some pointers. Bet mine's better and fancier than some old kitchen-testers'!
