Title: Michelle’s Favorite Cookies (Mf)
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 1 servings

1 Puff pastry 2 inches wide by
-8 inches long
Sugar

Recipe by: COOKING MONDAY TO FRIDAY SHOW #MF6743
Liberally dust surface of the pastry and your board with sugar. Roll
pastry
to about 4 inches wide and 10 inches long. (The more sugar you manage to
work into the dough, the more caramelized and scrumptious the cookies will
be.)

Press sugar over the top with a rolling pin; turn dough over and press
sugar
in on the other side. Fold each long side of the pastry, towards the
middle
and dust this with sugar; now fold pastry in half, dust with sugar and
gently apply pressure to the top to flatten it out and even it up. With a
knife or bench knife, cut across the length of the dough into 3/8th-inch
wide cross pieces.

Transfer cookies to a parchment lined cookie sheet. Shape the cookies by
turning edges out to approximate a bell shape or by turning edges in. Dust
with more sugar and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400
degrees.
Remove cookies from the refrigerator and place the in the oven. Bake for
10
to 15 minutes or until sugar on top begins to caramelize and turn golden
brown. Turn over and bake for another 5 minutes or until second side is
golden (watch them carefully because they burn easily) Cool on a rack;
serve
with fresh berries or oranges)

Yield: about 25 cookies

Title: Beef Stew #1
Categories: Stews
Yield: 1 servings

1 pk beef
4 lg potatoes
4 carrots
1 onion — cooking
2 bay leaves
1 cn peas — optional

Brown the beef with the onions in a large pot. Once
the meat is brown add 3 cups of water and bay leaves.
Heat over medium heat while you peel the potatoes and
carrrots. Add potatoes and carrots to the stew pot.
Cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook until
potatoes are tender. Mix up a flour and water mixture
to thicken the stew. Add it right to the pot. No
need to remove the meat/veggies. Stir well to make
sure you don’t get lumps. Add pepper/salt/whatever you
like for spices. I sometimes add garlic when rowning
the meat. Oregano is a nice touch as well. Once the
stew is thickened you can serve it. Sometimes I make
dumplings with the stew. I usually buy a box of
Bisquick as it has a recipe on it. Unfortunately I
cannot relay the recipe to you as I don’t have any in
the house at the moment. You would have to talk to my
grandmother if you wanted to make them from scratch.
Isn’t that the way it always is.

Cucumber-tofu dressing

Saw a recipe for cucumber sauce on the list today; if you don’t eat milk,
this is an alternative. I made it the other night for falafels (baked of
course) and it was fine:

about 8 oz. tofu (your choice, I used White Wave reduced-fat)
2 T. capers
1/4 c. lemon juice
pinch of black pepper

whirl in blender until smooth

grate 1 medium cucumber (no, you don’t need to remove seeds) and squeeze out
the excess liquid. Stir into the tofu mixture. Add a small amount of
chopped fresh mint if available. Let stand for a while so the flavors blend.
