Inspired by the sudden appearance of Obie’s cookies in my HFS, but finding
them way too sweet, I made my own reduced-fat cookies last night. If you
put in dried fruit instead of choc chips (bad me) they might almost be
‘fatfree’.

They are still sugar bombs, but I guess the essence of cookies is that the
sugar browns and makes them crispy, so I was afraid to reduce the amount too
much. This is adapted from my mom’s chocolate chip cookie recipe.

cookie dough

1 c. White Wave soy yogurt
1 c. applesauce (unsweetened)
2-3 c. turbinado sugar (I used 3 last night, down from 4, want to reduce more)
2 t. vanilla
1 c. rolled oats (whole)
2 c. rolled oats (process in food processor to coarse flour)

mix well

sift together
1 c. unbleached flour
1.5 T. baking powder
1.5 T. baking soda
1 t salt
2 T. ener-g egg replacer

and add to the first mixture. The baking soda should react somewhat, making
the mass fluffy and easy to stir. Add more flour until a cookie dough texture
is reached (I had to use ~ 2.75 c. total).

Add chips or fruit or whatever. Shape into balls and bake at 375 until
browned. They do brown, they don’t melt around the edges in that weird way
that bad cookies do, and were considered entirely successful.

Title: Gratin of Strawberries
Categories: Desserts, Fruits, Masterchefs, Frisco, E
Yield: 10 servings

Creme Anglaise ** 8 md Egg whites
Genoise ** 10 oz Cream, pastry ***
1 c Strawberries, fresh, large 1/3 oz Gelatin
4 oz Sugar Puree, strawberry
5 oz Water

** See recipe for Creme Anglaise, and Genoise.

*** Pastry cream is made by combining 5 ounces of regular cream plus 5
ounces of cream mixed with 2 ounces of fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Remove the stems from the strawberries and slice them in half. Slice
the genoise into very thin pieces to fit in the bottom of 10 molds, 3-4
inches in diameter. (For molds, use plastic pipe cut into 2-inch strips.)

Line the molds with sliced strawberries, cut side facing outward.

In a saucepan, heat the sugar and water to a 250-degree softball.
Meanwhile, place the egg whites in the bowl of a mixer and whip them to
medium peaks.

In a metal bowl, whip together the pastry creams over boiling water.
When the cream is quite hot, take it off the hat, slowly dissolve the
powdered gelatin in the cream.

When the softball of sugar is formed, add to the egg whites while
still whipping on mixer. Continue whipping until firm. (As the sugar
cools, a meringue will form.)

Add this cream to the pastry creams then spoon the mixture into the
center of the molds. Chill at least one hour.

To serve, unmold and sprinkle tops of molds with a tiny bit of sugar.
Glaze under broiler and unmold on serving plates.

Serve with creme anglaise and strawberry puree.

CANNING PEPPERS (HOT OR SWEET)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Vegetables Canning

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
***** NONE *****

Hot or sweet, including chiles, jalapeno, and pimnto

Quantity: An average of 9 pounds is needed per canner
load of 9 pints. A bushel weighs 25 pounds and yields
20 to 30 pints–an average of 1 pound per pint.

Quality: Select firm yellow, green, or red peppers. Do
not use soft or diseased peppers.

Procedure: Select your favorite pepper (s). Caution: If
you choose hot peppers, wear plastic gloves while
handling them or wash hands thoroughly with soap and
water before touching your face. Small peppers may be
left whole. Large peppers may be quartered. Remove
cores and seeds. Slash two or four slits in each
pepper, and either blanch in boiling water or blister
using one of the following methods:

Oven or broiler method: Place peppers in a hot oven
(400 degrees F) or broiler for 6-8 minutes until skins
blister.

Range-top method: Cover hot burner, either gas or
electric, with heavy wire mesh. Place peppers on
burner for several minutes until skins blister.

Allow peppers to cool. Place in a pan and cover with a
damp cloth. This will make peeling the peppers easier.
After several minutes, peel each pepper. Flatten whole
peppers. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to each pint jar, if
desired. Fill jars loosely with peppers and add fresh
boiled water, leaving 1-inch headspace.

Adjust lids and process following the recommendations
in Table 1 or Table 2 according to the method of
canning used.

Lemon-Sage Tortellini w/ chicken peppers

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pasta Chicken

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 lb frozen cheese-filled tortellini
1/2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 roasted red bell pepper — cut into thin strips
salt and coarsely ground black pepper — to taste

4 thin slices smoked chicken or turkey — cut in thin strips
1/2 tsp dried sage
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped parsley

Cook tortellini in boiling water according to instructions on package.

Meanwhile melt butter and olive oil in large frying pan over medium high
heat. Add chicken breast, salt and pepper, and stir fry for about 3
minutes. Add red pepper strips, turn heat down to medium, and cook until

chicken and pepper is done, stirring periodically.

Add smoked turkey or chicken strips and fresh sage*, and stir fry until
heated through. Add tortellini, lemon rind, lemon juice, and parsley. Ad
d
more salt and pepper if needed. Stir for a minute or two to heat and mix
=2E
Serves about 6.

*If you use dried sage, add it earlier in the process, with the chicken.

The original recipe said to roast and peel the red pepper, which I think
is too much work. You can buy canned roasted peppers which work
wonderfully. If you use them, add them later, with the smoked turkey,
since they’re already cooked. I like them, but I also like plain red bel
l
pepper.
