Not sure where to put this but since it is about recipes....I got published again!!!
Congratulations!
Your recipe will be included in the new
KCTS COOKS: 10 Delicious Years Cookbook!
Ok it is only a PBS Cookbook, but my name is in black and white!
Here is the winning recipe this time. I was published with the Best Summer Salad that is posted in a forum by itself as I did not know the rules of posting when I put it up! (Newbie and all)
I taught home ec. for years. When we did our pizza unit, I always demonstrated this pizza. It did not always get a good reception at first. However, after the first brave student would try it, it was a race to see who could get the next serving!
Also great substitute for those who cannot eat wheat!
Rice Crust Pizza with Polish Sausage
2 c long-grain rice --cooked
2 eggs -- whipped
1/4 c parmesan cheese grated
1 teaspoon oregano dried
-Sauce & Toppings can really be whatever you like
1 1/2 c Homemade Italian Sauce
1 c mushrooms -- sliced
2 c sausage -- sliced or ground and cooked
1/2 c diced onion
8 ozs fat-free mozzarella cheese -- grated
1 diced tomato
Preheat oven to 400. Prepare a pizza pan (jelly roll pan will work also ) with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine rice, eggs, oregano and parmesan cheese; mix well.
Press evenly onto prepared pan. Spread sauce over crust. Top with mushrooms, polish sausage, and mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
Just before serving sprinkle with fresh diced tomato.

Check this out.. works out so nicely..
ZIPLOC OMELET
This works great!!! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet!!!
Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.
Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc. Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake.
Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water or use a large stock pot.
Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.
Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you got a nice omelet for a quick breakfast!!!

Ok good eats!

Ok, here's a fairly quick and easy recipe for pot luck dinners or company functions. It's also a great way to hide broccoli from the kids (or me, I hate broccoli, but love this recipe).
Chicken Broccoli Bake
1 - 10 oz. frozen broccoli spears (cooked & drained)
1 1/2 cups - Cubed Cooked Chicken (I use all white meat, but I don't guess it really matters)
1 can - cream of broccoli soup
1/3 cup - milk
1 tablespoon - butter
2 tablespoons - dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup - shredded cheddar
Arrange broccoli in a 9x9 casserole dish. Top with chicken. Mix the soup and milk together, pour over the chicken. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Combine the butter(melted) and breadcrumbs, sprinkle over the cheese. Cook on 450 for 15 minutes.
Enjoy!

Wed Feb 21, 2007 5:52 pm Post subject: Tortilla Lasagna |
|
This is one for folks who cannot eat wheat products
Tortilla Lasagna with Swiss Chard (Adapted from Veg Times)
2 teaspoons olive oil
16 ounces Swiss Chard, stems and leaves separated - chopped
1 cup chopped onions
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 1/2 cups marinara sauce, divided
1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves, torn
9 6" white corn tortillas, divided
2 cups ricotta cheese
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add chard stems and onion - cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in chard leaves and garlic. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until chard leaves are tender - about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, stir together 2 1/2 cups marinara sauce and torn basil.
In a medium bowl, season ricotta with salt and pepper to taste - mix well.
Lightly coat a 10" springform pan with nonstick spray. Spread 1/2 cup of the tomato-basil mixture over the bottom of the springform pan. Arrange 3 tortillas in single layer, overlapping slightly in the middle, on top of the sauce.
Carefully spread 1 cup ricotta over the tortillas in the springform pan. Top the ricotta with 1/2 cup tomato-basil sauce, 1/2 of the chard mixture, 1/3 cup mozzarella and 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan. Continue layering with 3 more tortillas, 1 cup ricotta, 1/2 cup tomato-basil sauce, remaining chard mixture, 1/3 cup mozzarella and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Arrange the remaining 3 tortillas on top. Spread remaining 1 cup tomato-basil sauce over tortillas.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and scatter the top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Place back in the oven and bake for 10 more minutes. Remove and let rest for about 10 minutes before unmolding and cutting into wedges. Reheat the remaining unused tomato sauce to serve on the side.
Makes about 6 servings.

“This'll be great. We can stay up late, exchange manly stories and in the morning...I'm making WAFFLES!”
Shrek and Donkey's Manly Waffles
(Waffle topped by Grilled Ham Steak, Poached Eggs, and Sausage-Milk Gravy) Emeril Lagasse, 2004
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray
1 (1-pound) fully cooked ham steak (about 1/2-inch thick)
Vegetable oil
4 fried eggs
Sausage Milk Gravy, recipe follows
Chopped chives, garnish
Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
Into a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the eggs are a pale yellow color. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and whisk just until blended. Do not overmix.
In a third bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter, being careful not to overmix.
Coat the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray as required and pour enough batter in the iron to just cover waffle grid. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes, depending upon size. (In checking for doneness, open the waffle iron carefully and watch out for steam. Do not open the waffle iron for at least 1 minute.) Place the cooked waffles on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining batter and preparing the remaining ingredients. (Note: Waffle batter makes 2 to 3 large waffles, or 8 to 10 small 4-inch waffles.)
Lightly grease the grill and preheat to medium-high heat.
Place the ham steak on the grill and cook until lightly browned and slightly crisp around the edges, about 5 minutes per side.
To serve, place 1 large waffle on a large dinner plate and top with the grilled ham steak. Position 4 fried eggs on the ham steak, dividing it into quarters, and spoon the sausage-milk gravy over the ham and eggs. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
Sausage-Milk Gravy:
8 ounces ground pork sausage, mild or spicy, removed from casings and crumbled
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onions
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Salt
In a large, deep skillet, cook the sausage, stirring to break up the pieces, until browned and no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage to paper towels to drain.
Carefully remove all but 2 tablespoons of grease from the pan and return to medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, and pepper and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the milk and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring, until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cooked sausage into the gravy, stir well, and cook to heat through, 30 to 45 seconds. Serve hot.
Yield: 4 servings

Chocolate Waffle Cookies
For the cookies
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
16 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup plus Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For the glaze
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
To make the cookies
In a small saucepan, add unsweetened chocolate and butter - melt over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the stove and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, vanilla and granulated sugar - beat on medium speed with the paddle attachment until very pale - about 5 minutes.
Add in chocolate mixture, salt, cinnamon, 1/2 cup cocoa and the flour.
Preheat a waffle iron until hot. Lightly coat grids with cooking spray.
Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the batter between the center of each waffle-iron square. Pull down the cover and cook until set, about 1 1/2 minutes. Use a fork to help you coax the cookie off and move them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter.
To make the glaze
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder. Stir in milk until smooth - remove from the heat.
Gently dip 1 side of each cookie in the glaze so that just the waffle lines are coated. Transfer to wire racks and let sit until the glaze has set - at least 10 minutes. Dust cookies with extra confectioners’ sugar before serving.
Makes about 4-5 dozen cookies.

4. When cakes are cooled to room temp, crumble into a large bowl.
5. Toss with half the remaining cookie crumbs and chilled pudding.

7. Put mixture into box.
8. Put 3 unwrapped tootsie rolls in microwave safe dish and heat until softened.
9. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly.
10. Repeat with 3 more tootsie rolls and bury in cake mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top.
11. Scatter green crumbles lightly over top (chlorophyll in cat litter). Heat 3 tootsie rolls in microwave until almost melted.
12. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs.
13. Spread remaining tootsie rolls over top; take one and heat until pliable, hang over side of litter box, sprinkle with cookie crumbs.
It really is good!! I have made it a few times and it is always a hit..once you get past the look!
