1 lb cottage cheese (low-fat is fine)
3 cups sour cream (even a little less will do)
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup melted margarine (unsalted)
4 to 6 eggs, depending on how rich you like it (go for broke)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 lb broad or thin noodles, cooked
1/2 cup raisins
cinnamon and sugar (for topping)

In a large mixing bowl, combine cheese, sour cream, milk and half of the
melted margarine. Beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla and add to
cheese mixture. Then add the cooked noodles and raisins; turn into large
buttered pan or two smaller ones. Top with remaining melted margarine.
Mix together some cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top. Crushed
cornflakes may also be used as topping with the cinnamon and sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour or until lightly browned.
May be frozen and reheated.

NOTE: I find it unnecessary to do the eggs, sugar and vanilla separately.
I put it all in the 25-cup Tupperware mixing bowl and mix with a wire whisk.
This makes a really large quantity. I find my lasagna pan the perfect
size. You can easily halve the entire recipe if it is only a side dish for
a family dinner. Another beauty of this dish is that, for buffets, it’s
tasty even at room temperature; you don’t have to worry about keeping it hot.

Black-Eyed Peas and Carrots with Basil Dressing

(The original recipe called for Tarragon, but I don’t like Tarragon, and so I
used Basil. However, if you like Tarragon, that is the herb originally called
for :-). )

1 1/3 cups dried black-eyed peas, soaked overnight
1 bay leaf
1 thick slice onion
1 sprig fresh basil
1 clove garlic, lightly crushed
1/4 c. + 1 1/2 Tbs. white-wine vinegar
3 1/2 Tbs. lemon juice
2 Tbs. minced fresh basil (or more, if you like basil)
1 Tbs. snipped chives
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
2 cups diced carrots
1/2 cup diced green peppers
1/2 cup diced red onion

1. Drain the black-eyed peas and transfer them to a 3-quart saucepan. Add the
bay leaf, onion slice, basil sprig, and garlic. Add about 8 cups of cold
water. Bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered over medium heat, stirring
occasionally, for about 1 hour or until the peas are tender.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, minced fresh
basil, chives, and black pepper. Set aside.

3. While the peas are cooking, blanch the carrots in boiling water for 3
minutes, or until crisp. Drain and add to the bowl with the dressing. Stir
well and set aside.

4. When the peas are tender, drain and discard the bay leaf, onion, basil, and
garlic.

5. Combine peas and carrots and stir lightly to blend. Add the green peppers
and red onion. Toss well. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
