Title: PEACH CREPES
Categories: Breakfast, Fruits
Yield: 8 servings

MMMMM———————–FOR THE CREPES—————————-
1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 Egg, lg
3 tb Amaretto-flavored nondairy
-creamer
1/8 ts Ground nutmeg
1 ts Pure vanilla extract
Light vegetable oil cooking
Spray

MMMMM———————-FOR THE FILLING—————————
2 c Fresh orange juice
2 tb Orange liqueur
8 Peaches, peeled and thinly
-sliced
1 ts Honey
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1 ts Orange zest

Put the flour into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the
flour and add the egg. While whisking, pour in the nondairy creamer
and then the skim milk. Continue to whisk until the batter is smooth
and free of lumps, then whisk in the nutmeg and vanilla. Cover the
batter and set it aside for 30 minutes. Prehead an 8-inch nonstick
crepe pan or a small, heavy nonstick frying pan for about 1 minute
over medium-high heat. Spray it twice with the vegetable oil. Spoon
just enough batter into the pan to form a thin layer over the bottom,
about 3 tablespoons, and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly.
Cook the crepe for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the edge is firm and
begins to separate from the bottom. Flip the crepe with a spatula and
cook for 1 to 2 minutes more on the other side, until golden brown.
Remove the crepe to a sheet of waxed paper. Continue the process,
stacking the cooked crepes on the waxed paper, until 8 crepes have
been made. For the filling, combine the orange juice, liqueur,
peaches and honey in a medium frying pan. Cook for about 10 minutes,
until the liquid turns thick and syrupy. To assemble, lay a crepe on
an individual serving plate. Mound 1/3 cup of the peach slices on the
bottom half of each and flip the top half over. Spoon a tablespoon of
the peach syrup over each and dust with cinnamon and orange zest.

1 pk Tempeh
1/2 Onions — thinly sliced
1 t Butter
1 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 Chili peppers
1/2 ts Sauce, soy
1 t Sugar, brown

Dice tempeh and deep fry until crunchy. Fry onion in
butter until limp; add
garlic and chili pepper and saute briefly. Add fried
tempeh and stir around.
Add sweet soy sauce and brown sugar. Keep stirring
the mixture. Tempeh is fermented soy beans and paste
sold in “bricks.” The idea is to coat the tempeh with
the sugary, spicy, oniony, flavor…so you won’t taste
the tempeh. (G)

Title: CORNUCOPIA
Categories: Christmas, Easter, Holidays, Breads
Yield: 1 servings

3 cn Soft-breadstick dough
1 lg Egg, beaten with:
1 tb Water

——————ASSORTED RAW VEGETABLES——————
Sugar snap peas, red and
Yellow cherry tomatoes,
Baby carrots, baby squash,
Cauliflower and broccli
Floretts.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a
cookie sheet, at least 17“x 14”, with non-stick
cooking spray.

2. Tear off a 30“x 18″ sheet of heavy duty aluminum
foil. Fold in 1/2 to 18”x 15". Roll diagonally to
form a hollow cone, about 18″ long with a diameter of
5″ at the widest end (Cornucopia opening). Fasten end
with clear tape. Stuff cone with crumpled regular
foil until form is rigid. Bend tail of cone up then
down at end. Spray outside of cone with non-stick
cooking spray. Place on cookie sheet.

3. Open and unroll first can of breadstick dough on
work surface. Seperate breadsticks. Begin by wraping
one breadstick around tip of cone. Brush end of next
breadstick with Glaze and press to attach to end of
first breadstick. Continue spiral-wrapping cone,
slightly overlapping dough until there are 3
breadsticks left.

4. Pinch one end of the 3 breadsticks together, then
braid. Brush bread around opening of Cornucopia with
Glaze. Gently press on braid. Brush entire
Cornucopia with Glaze.

5. Bake 45 minutes in preheated oven or until bread
is a rich brown. (If parts start to darken too much,
cover them with poeces of foil.)

6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on cookie
sheet on a wire rack. Carefully remove foil when
cool. (If freezing, leave foil in bread for support.
Remove when thawed.)

7. Fill Cornucopia with the assorted raw vegetables
directly on table and let them spill out of opening

NOTE– To prevent this center-piece from absorbing
atmospheric moisture, the baked Cornucopia cone can be
sprayed with shellac or clear enamel. If treated in
this manner, the Cornucopia will be inedible but can
be preserved and re-used.
