When the oil is hot, add the garlic and scallions and cook just till wilted (not brown). Pour off the oil, leaving the scallions and garlic, and add the stock, wine, sage, thyme, pepper, and ginger. Adjust the heat as needed so the mixture is simmering, and simmer 10 minutes. Add the bacon, chicken, and dates, and cook just till heated through. If needed, add a little water. Remove from heat, add almonds, stir, and serve. Serves 2. Goes well with rice. =========== Scalloped Corn 2 Tbs butter, melted 2 eggs (or Egg Beaters equivalent) 1-16 oz. can cream-style corn 1 cup sour cream (fat free works great) 1 cup frozen corn 1 green bell pepper, chopped fine 1 onion, chopped fine 1-9 oz. box corn muffin mix Melt butter and beat eggs. Combine all ingredients together, adding the muffin mix last. Pour mixture into greased 8" x 8" pan. Bake at 375° for 35 to 40 minutes or until lightly browned. =========== KUKUYE GUSHT Iranian omelet with vegetables and meat 1 large onion 1 stalk of leek (only use the white and light green parts) 3 - 4 spring onions 1 pound (500 grams) ground lean beef (best if you mince a nice piece of meat yourself) 4 ounces (125 grams) chopped spinach 2 parsley twigs, finely chopped Salt and freshly ground black pepper (from the pepper mill) 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder 6 eggs 2 ounces (60 grams) butter Finely mince onions, sauté in 1/2 ounce of butter, add finely cut (in rings) leek and spring onions (cut into 1/8 inch - 5 mm) pieces. Separately brown ground beef When vegetables are soft, add ground beef, spinach and parsley. Immediately season with cinnamon, salt and pepper. Let everything cool slightly. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add meet/vegetable mixture to the eggs. Mix well. Melt remaining butter in a frying pan and wait until the butter turns slightly brown and has a nutty smell. Transfer the whole mixture from the bowl to the frying pan and form one large patty. Fry for approx. 15 minutes on medium heat. Flip the patty over with the help of a large plate. The plate should just fit into the frying pan and cover the whole patty. Place to plate onto the patty (upside down), wear a kitchen mitten, hold onto the plate tightly and turn the frying pan and plate over (together). You now have the patty in the plate and can slide it back into to frying pan. Fry for another 10 - 15 minutes. Serve immediately (hot) with a side salad. Alternatively, you could bake one side of the patty under the infra red grill of your oven but leave the door open. Tricks: 1. Use the freshest eggs you can find. 2. When using fresh spinach, remove large leaves from stalk. Blanche very quickly in large, hot pan. Place spinach in sieve and press to remove excessive liquid before chopping. Of course you can use frozen, chopped spinach as well. 3. Onions and leek should be sautéed VERY SLOWLY to enable fruit sugar to caramelize. 4. Should you bake the patty under the infra red grill of your oven, make sure to wear kitchen mittens! =========== "Migas" means crumbs. Migas are popular in Texas and can be found on many breakfast menus. Use your left over tortilla chips to make this quick and easy meal for two Migas Five Simple Ingredients 4 Large Fresh Eggs 1/4 cup milk 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 1 cup broken baked tortilla chips 1 /2 cup grated cheddar cheese Easy Directions Mix eggs and milk together. Place butter or margarine in non-stick skillet. Add egg mixture and cook stirring until eggs start to set. Add broken tortilla chips and cheese and stir until eggs are set. Makes 2 servings =========== SPICED PUMPKIN FUDGE 3/4 c. butter 3 c. sugar 2/3 c. evaporated milk 1/2 c. canned pumpkin 1 t. pumpkin pie spice 2 c. butterscotch baking chips 7 oz. jar marshmallow cream 1 c. chopped toasted almonds or desired nuts 1 t. vanilla In heavy saucepan, combine first 5 ingredients; bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling until mixture reaches 234 Degrees on candy thermometer. Remove from heat; stir in butter scotch chips and marshmallow cream until melted and smooth. Stir in nuts and vanilla. Pour into buttered 9x13 or larger pan. cool completely, cut into squares. Maked about 3# candy. =========== FINNISH COFFEE CAKE Ingredient List 1 cup water 2 sticks margarine salt 1 cup flour 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 tablespoons water Solo almond filling 3 eggs Preparation set these 2 ingredients to boil in a medium saucepan 1 cup of water 1 stick of oleo (margarine) When it begins to boil take off the heat and add: 1 cup of flour a pinch of salt Mix well and set this aside to cool Mix together in a medium mixing bowl: 1 cup of flour 1 stick of oleo (margarine), softened 1 teaspoon of vanilla 2 tablespoons water Mix this together and pat in the bottom of a cookie sheet (the kind with sides) with your fingers. This is the hardest part of the recipe. The longer you work with this mixture the softer and warmer it becomes and the easier it is to work with. Be sure and get it into the corners. It will seem at first that it just can't be done, but don't give up! Spread the filling over the mixture in the cookie pan. I like the Solo almond filling but you could substitute any Solo filling that you prefer. Maybe try it with the almond and then next time experiment with another flavor. Now add 3 eggs to the first mixture that you set aside. This is your top and it is very cream puff like. After mixing each egg in one at a time...spread this over the Solo filling. Be careful as the almond filling will come up. Bake for 55 minutes at 350°. After it is slightly cooled, I just drizzle and spread with the normal confectioner's sugar frosting on the coffee cake. I usually flavor the frosting with vanilla so as not to make the coffee cake too almondy. (I don't think that's a word?) =========== Confetti Fish Rolls 1 1/2 Pounds sole or flounder fillets 1 Small tomato 2 tbsp Minced green pepper 2 Slices American cheese, diced 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2 tbsp Olive oil Paprika Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly brush olive oil on each fish, then season each fillet with salt and pepper. Combine tomato, green pepper, cheese and Worcestershire sauce; place a spoonfull on each fillet. Roll up and place seam-side down, in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle some paprika on the fillets. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes easily. Makes 6 servings. Approxamitely 135 calories per serving. =========== Here is another stroganoff variation recipe. My kids will even eat it for leftovers, if there are any left!! They call it "Moms, Strogy. Stroganoff 1 lb beef round steak (or any other type of steak), cut into strips. 2 TBSP flour 1/2 C chopped onion 2 C sliced mushrooms 1-2 TBSP oil 2 small cans, 10 3/4 oz size, or 1 can Family size Cream of Mushroom soup 1 C sour cream 1 12oz pkg egg noodles Brown steak in the oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add flour to coat the meat, and onion, continue to brown. Add enough water to cover meat, add mushrooms,mixing in well, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding a little more water if it gets too thick. Add cream of mushroom soup and cook until soup is mixed well, and bubbles. Cover, and reduce heat to low, just enough to keep meat/gravy warm. Prepare noodles according to package directions, drain and add butter if desired. When noodles are done, remove meat/gravy from heat, let set for a moment, then add the sour cream, mix well (if the gravy mix is too hot, the sour cream doesn't blend in with the gravy as much, and it will look like it has curdled some, it doesn't taste bad, just looks kind of funny). Serve over noodles. =========== Apple Cider Pie Crust: 1/4 c. cold water 2 t. cider vinegar 2 c. all-purpose flour 1/3 c. cold butter or regular stick of margarine, cut into small pieces 1/4 c. solid vegetable shortening or reg. stick margarine Filling: 3 cups apple cider 3/4 c. granulated sugar 1/4 c. all purpose flour 1/2 t. ground cinnamon 1/8 t. ground mace or nutmeg 5 large Granny smith or Braeburn apples (about 2-1/2 pounds) 3 large Golden Delicious or Cortland apples (about 1-1/2 pounds) 1-1/2 t. granulated sugar 1.

Mix well, cover with waxed paper and microwave on HIGH for five minutes. Stir well. Cover and cook on HIGH 5 to 7n minutes longer, until cranberries pop and sauce has thickened. Add brandy during last minute of cooking. Let stand covered until cool. Refrigerate. Can also be made in advance and frozen. Makes about two cups. ======== SPICED CRANBERRY-ORANGE MOLD 2 packages Jello Raspberry Sugar-Free Gelatin 1/4 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups boiling water 1 can WHOLE BERRY cranberry sauce 1/2 cup cold water 1 Tablespoon lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1 orange, sectioned and diced (I sometimes use a can of Mandarin Oranges) Dissolve gelatin and salt in boiling water.

Unmold onto moistened serving plate. Garnish as desired. Makes 10 servings. =========== Every time I make this fudge people go nuts over it. It is very rich and This recipe makes a ton. I normally make it in two pans instead of just one. It also freezes well if you want to make it ahead for the holidays. Bailey's Irish Creme Fudge 4 1/2 Cups sugar 1 12 oz can of evaporated milk 1/2 olb butter 2 12 oz pkgs of milk chocolate chips 1 12 oz pkg semisweet chocolate chips 2 7 oz jars marshmallow cream 2 tsp vanilla 2/3 Cup Bailey Irish Cream 2 Cups chopped nuts Follow directions EXACTLY. Set chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, vanilla, Bailey's and nuts in a VERY large bowl. Set aside for later. Bring butter, sugar and milk to a boil and then cook slowly for exactly 11 minutes (don't ask why - just works), stirring CONSTANTLY. Pour milk mixtures over the other ingredients and stir slowly to blend. DO NOT USE MIXER Pour into a buttered 9x13 inch pan and chill very well. Cut cold. I used a 9x13 pan AND a 8x8 pan and it was still good sized. I also lined the pan with foil and removed from pan to cut. I had a hard time getting it out of the pan. It stays kind of soft. Will never get very hard. =========== Pumpkin Pie Cake 1 large (30 oz.) can pumpkin pie mix, (this already has the spices and sugar in it) 4 eggs 12 oz. can evaporated milk 1 yellow cake mix 1 c. butter, melted 1 c. nuts Mix pumpkin pie mix, eggs and milk together and pour in a 9 x 13 inch pan.

When it starts to turn golden, add the uncooked rice and saute'. Watch this very closely, stirring constantly, as it turns golden all of a sudden and can get too brown very quickly. When onion & rice are golden, remove from stove. Pour into a greased 2 quart casserole dish. Add the drained mushrooms, then add both the Broth and Consomme'. Stir slightly. Place in oven, covered, and bake at 325 degrees for about 1&1/2 hours, or till rice has absorbed soups.
