1 cup sifted flour
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. melted butter

Put in blender on high until smooth. Pour a ladle amount into a hot greased pan, spreading the batter thinly around the pan. Flip when it bubbles up. Serve with cinnamon and cottage cheese rolled inside, or syrup, fruit, ice cream, peanut butter etc.
an interesting variation of the classic chili…does not use chili powder…more of a creamy chili
INGREDIENTS
1/2 lb. bacon
2 lb. ground beef
1 stalk of sliced celery
2 cans of kidney beans
2 cans of pork and beans
1 can of mushrooms
2 jalapeno peppers
1 green pepper
2 large onions
1 large can of tomatoes
1 can of tomato soup
1 can of mushroom soup
DIRECTIONS
Fry up the bacon. Drain off most of the fat and add the onions and celery. When they are soft, put aside in a large pot, and fry up the beef. Then put the beef into the large pot as well, and add all the rest of the ingredients. Stir well, bring to a boil and then simmer for awhile. (This recipe will feed a small army).
What’s orzo, you ask? It’s pasta shaped like pearls of barley; frequently prepared with lamb in Greek cuisine
INGREDIENTS
3 Tbsp. butter
1 1/2 cups orzo
3 cups chicken broth (750ml)
1/2 cup grated parmesan
6 Tbsp. chopped basil or 1 1/2 tsp. dried
salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS
Melt butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Add orzo and saute 2 min. until slightly brown (watch closely as it can burn). Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until orzo is tender and liquid is absorbed…20 min. or more. Mix in parmesan and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to shallow bowl. Serves 6. A good alternative side-dish if you’re getting tired of rice.
INGREDIENTS
5 cups flour
1 cup margarine
2 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. yeast
1 cup of warm water
2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 cups of milk
2 eggs
DIRECTIONS
Mix these together into a crumble as you would for a pie crust. Put aside. Then soak 2 Tbsp. yeast in 1 cup of warm water with 2 tsp. sugar. Warm 1 1/2 cups of milk. Beat in 2 eggs, mix with the yeast. Stir into the crumbs to make a soft dough. Put in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to two days. The dough may be very moist. Just add flour until it is workable. Roll out the dough to 1/4 ” thickness on a floured surface. Cut into strips 1 ” wide. Twist each strip into a rope, curl into a loose pinwheel. Or cut dough into triangle shapes to roll up. Let rise in warm place for approx. 1/2 hour to an hour. Spread out between 3 cookie sheets at least. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 min. Can drizzle with a simple butter icing or icing sugar mixed with water and vanilla. Makes 3 dozen butterhorns. Quite fussy, but worth the hassle!!
INGREDIENTS
16oz bread or pizza dough
2 tsp. curry powder (save half for later)
4 Tbsp. soy sauce (save half for later)
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. grated ginger (1/2 tsp. if ground)
2 crushed garlic cloves
1 lb. hamburger
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. water
2 Tbsp. veg. oil
1 small chopped onion
DIRECTIONS
Brown the hamburger with onion (and oil if necessary) Add all spices to the beef. Mix the saved 1/2 of soy sauce and curry with the cornstarch and water. Add to the beef and let simmer. Cool. Roll dough out into one long rectangle like you are going to make cinnamon buns. Spread the filling on top of the dough and roll it up. Cut into individual buns. (If you prefer, you can make little circles and make them more like pizza pockets) Place 2 ” apart onto greased cookie sheet. Let rise for 20 min. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 min. Makes 2 dozen buns.
I got this from Christy. It’s like the white chocolate brownie from Moxies…only BETTER. Her recipe was for double these amounts, but these amounts work great for me in a 9×13 pan.
INGREDIENTS:
DRY
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups flour
1 cup chocolate chips
OTHER
3/4 cup margarine
1/8 cup hot water
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
DIRECTIONS:
Mix dry ingredients together. Add other ingredients one at a time.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
This recipe doesn’t call for icing, but icing just makes it even better 🙂
INGREDIENTS:
10 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
5 oz bittersweet (or semi-sweet, for a sweeter taste) chocolate
2 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
Pinch table salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
2/3 cup flour
DIRECTIONS:
Position rack in middle of the oven, and heat over to 350. Butter an 8 inch pan, line the bottom with parchment (or wax) paper, and then butter the parchment.
In a medium bowl, melt the butter and both chocolates together and let cool slightly. Whisk in sugar and then vanilla and salt. Whisk in the eggs and the egg yolk, one at a time. Add the flour, beating until thickened and smooth.
Pour into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter) clinging to it, 35 to 45 minutes.
Set the pan on a cooling rack until pan is cool enough to handle. Invert pan onto flat surface and peel off the parchment. Flip the baked brownie back onto the rack to cool completely. Cut into squares.
My parents used to make this, and we make it now for a quick warm dinner on a cold day.
INGREDIENTS:
Ground beef

1 can of beans in tomato sauce
Chili powder to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Brown the meat. Add beans and chili powder and heat. You can also add garlic powder, or any other spices. That’s it.
Goes well with cornbread.
