Pesto
1 cup packed (but not tightly) basil
1/3 cup pine nuts (walnuts can be substituted)
1/3 cup parmesan
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic (1 if you're not a garlic lover)
salt & pepper to taste

Throw it in a food processor; garlic, nuts, basil, then oil, parm & s&p.

Fabulous over a brick of cream cheese with your favorite crackers. And, wine, of course! Or, add it to cream and butter and pour over pasta.

Good Idea
This is from the ACS cookbook, easy and sooo good! Really good with cream cheese spread or frosting.


Applesauce Cake/Bread

1 cup raisins, Optional
½ cup water
1 cup chunky applesauce
1/3 cup margarine
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups unbleached white flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
½ cup chopped walnuts, Optional

Preheat oven to 350o F. Grease a loaf pan with margarine. In a small saucepan, combine raisins and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in applesauce. Cool to luke warm. Cream margarine and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. Mix into batter. Add applesauce mixture and nuts. Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

For tube pan cake, double recipe.

For mini-muffins without raisins and walnuts there is no need to heat, just add water and applesauce to batter. Bake about 15 minutes.

For the applesauce use MacIntosh apples, peeled and cubed. Boil in ¼ cup water until soft. Mash with potato masher. 3lb, bag of apples makes enough for 2 loafs with a bit left over.

I always loved the recipes

Can I add another?
I make lasgna with cooked ravioli. Layer ravioli, ricotta, cooked peppers & onions, sauce; more ravioli, cooked meat (mtballs or sausage) more ricotta, more sauce. A third layer of ravioli , sauce and mozzarella. Use lots of garlic & onion powder and italion seasoning. salt & pepper. to taste. I also make a vegetarian version - lose the meat, replace with zucchini, spinach or whatever. 350 til the mozz melts.

Since everything is warm, it doesn't take that long to bake. It is delicious and hearty. It's one of my 'signature' dishes at get-togethers.

If you like jalapeno POPPERS
I am famous for cooking with my friends and family. Mother a great cook but I do more interesting things.

Clean jalapeno ridding them of seeds and membrane so not hot. If want more heat leave membrane in and a few seeds.

Stuffing is made of cream cheese and maybe a little sour cream and then garlic a clove or so with seasonings of your taste. I make them all different ways with many kinds of grated cheese in the mix including a tiny bit of fetta or goats cheese.

Then you bake them for 40 minutes and slightly brown on top and anyone who has every had mine dreams about them as much as I do. People use to think I was nuts by having to have these things because I love them so much but they too are in the same boat as me.

Chicken Cutlets
Boneless chicken breast Slice very thin
Progresso Italian bread crumbs
Grated Pecorino Romano cheese
eggs

After slicing chicken very thin, beat eggs and coat the chicken.
then on a paper plate mix bread crumbs with cheese. No measuring but add a lot of cheese.

Fry in very hot oil turning quickly because they are thin and will cook fast.

Drain on a paper towel and continue with layers of towels in between so they're not greasy.

P.S. Use a lot of oil because you want them to fry quickly which keeps them moist inside and crunchy on the outside.

This Sounds Yummy
I am going to make this one.

Chicken Cutlets....yum!!!
This is pretty much a go-to meal at our house! I use chicken, turkey, pork and have been known to use veal. I have even, on occasion, used chicken thigh meat. Not traditional I know, but flavorful none the less.

One ingredient I ALWAYS use with this recipe is lemon juice! When I turn the cutlets,I liberally squeeze lemon juice over the meat. I also serve lemon wedges with the meal for those who want extra lemon~ and everyone does!

This is such a versatile recipe~ it can be made with "plain" bread crumbs~ topped with sauteed mushrooms, or capers. And on those odd occasions I don't have a nice juicy lemon I use white wine instead. last week I admit I was too lazy to pound the cutlets~ I had 5 thick, boneless chicken breasts...I simply did them as if they were thin. I dredged them in flour, then the egg mixture , then the breadcrumbs...I browned them in the hot olive oil and transferred them to a 325 oven to finish cooking while I made the side dishes. All good!

HAM LOAF
You can buy these already made up at most markets, but, I like to make my own.

2 lb ham
2 cups bread crumbs
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons catsup
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup milk

Put in pan. Cover with 2 Tablespoons brown sugar and catsup. Bake at 275 degrees - 300 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

It is good. I usually fix scalloped potatoes and asparagus with cheese sauce as side dishes.
