Vegetarian Rice

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 cups long-grain brown rice
7 3/4 cups water
1 2/3 cups mushrooms, fresh — sliced
1 cup red onions — finely chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
2 whole lemons
2 heads cauliflower — cut florets stems
1 3/4 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon garlic — chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper — to taste
4 cups cheddar cheese — shredded

Combine rice with water in three quart saucepan. Bring to a boil and
immediately reduce heat to lowest possible. Stir once with a fork, cover,
and let cook for 20 minutes until water is completely absorbed.

Saute mushrooms and onions in olive oil. Add the juice of the two lemons.

Wash the cauliflower and cut into florets, chopping usable stems. Saute
with the onions and mushrooms (add more oil if necessary), adding basil,
garlic, and salt and black pepper to taste. Saute for about five minutes.

Combine with cooked rice, mixing thoroughly, adding cheddar cheese (or
cheese of your choice).

Bake in greased 9X13″ pan at 350° for 15 minutes – until cheese melts and
top is browned slightly.

Lowfat Potato Salad

Recipe

2 lbs of Red Bliss potatos, cut into 1 inch chunks (leave skin on)
2-3 TBS balsamic vinegar
1 TBS dijon mustard (or mustard of choice)
1 tsp olive oil (could be omitted)
fresh ground pepper

Boil potatos until fork tender, but not mushy. Drain, and add other
ingredients and mix gently. You could probably experiment with the spices,
and add dill, or basil for a change, or garlic. Serve warm or cold (I
preferred cold). My SO, who eats low-fat but is not religious about it,
thought it was great!

  • Title: WILTON MARSHMALLOW CREAM FLOW-IN
    Categories: Desserts, Cakes, Frostings, Wilton
    Yield: 1 batch

    1 Jar marshmallow cream for
    -each color desired
    Icing color

    This stays very shiny and is easy to cut through. These
    decorations will not dry hard as Wilton color-flow must be
    done directly on the cake or cookie. CAUTION – Marshmallow
    cream will be VERY HOT.
    TO PREPARE MARSHMALLOW CREAM –
    Pan Method: Place about 1 1/2″ water in a large skillet or
    electric pan. Depending upon design, set up to four jars of
    marshmallow cream (one for each color) into pan and bring water
    to a boil. For faster heating, fill jars only halfway. Add
    icing color as the cream softens, stir until color is well
    blended. Let simmer, then stir until cream is smooth. Leave
    jars in water while you decorate.
    Microwave Method: Place the desired amount of marshmallow
    cream in a bowl. Add desired past color. Microwave on high
    power for about 10 to 12 seconds, then stir. If not softened
    (the total time depends on quantity being heated) microwave
    again for 7 to 8 seconds more. After heating, stir until color
    is completely blended.
    TO DECORATE: Trace pattern on cake with a toothpick. Outline
    design with stiffened buttercream or royal icing (royal is
    preferred as the heat of the marshmallow cream may soften
    buttercream) and tip 3. Let outlines dry for 10 minutes or
    more. Cut a very small opening in the end of a parchment
    bag and fill with marshmallow cream. “Flow-in” by filling in
    along the edges of the outline first, squeezing gently and
    letting the icing flow up to the outline almost by itself. Work
    quickly; filling in design from the outside edges in and from
    top to bottom. If you’re working with a large area, have 2
    parchment bags ready so it won’t set up before you’re done. If
    the marshmallow starts cooling and won’t flow smoothly, simply
    microwave bags for about 7 to 8 seconds on high power. Any
    remaining cream can be stored in a jar reused by microwaving
    for 8-9 seconds until soft.

    TORONTO BRAN MUFFINS

    Recipe By :
    Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Breads

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    1 1/4 c Hot milk
    3 ea Eggs
    2 tb Oil

    Combine cereal with hot milk in a 1-1/2 quart mixing
    bowl and let it stand about 10 minutes—or until the
    cereal has absorbed all of the milk. With the electric
    mixer on high speed, beat in the oil and eggs till
    completely blended. Remove the beaters. Switch to
    a sturdy spoon and dump in the cake mix, stirring
    only to moisten all of it thoroughly—but don’t
    overmix or overbeat or the muffin texture will be
    heavy and tough. The batter will be a bit lumpy. Cover
    the bowl and let the batter stand 15 minutes while you
    preheat the oven to 400 F, and grease 12 muffin tin
    wells in Crisco, evenly. Divide batter equally between
    the 12 wells. If you are using cupcake tin wells, you
    will have 15 muffins. Bake at 400 for 20 to 25
    minutes, or till golden brown. Wipe tops of each
    while still warm in softened butter or margarine.

    Recipe By :
    Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Vegetables

    Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
    ——– ———— ——————————–
    1/4 c Olive oil
    1 Head escarole
    2 Belgian endives
    1 Boston lettuce
    2 tb Minced garlic
    1 t Ground coriander
    1/2 ts Thyme
    1/2 ts Rosemary
    1 c Water
    2 tb White wine vinegar
    1/4 c Whipping cream

    PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. TRIM and discard the outer leaves from the escarole,
    leaving the lighter green center. Cut in half from root to tip. Trim and
    discard any discolored outer leaves of endive and Boston lettuce and cut
    them in half from root to tip. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over
    medium heat and add the lettuces. Cook until golden on both sides. If
    lettuces don’t fit in the skillet, perform this operation in batches. Add
    garlic, coriander, thyme, rosemary, water and vinegar, cover, place in oven
    and cook 15 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the stove top and remove the
    lettuces. Let cool on a plate. Press the lettuces and add any braising
    liquid to the skillet. Add the cream and cook until the liquid becomes
    saucelike. Pour into a bowl and let cool. To serve, cut halves of Boston
    lettuce and escarole in half. Arrange all lettuces on a platter and pour
    the sauce over the top.
