Some of these recipes seem gross, but I may try them anyways.

Meat and Tomatoes Pizza

Active: 10 minutes
Total: 25 minutes

Heat oven to 450 degrees with a rimless baking sheet set in the middle of the rack.

In a skillet, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium high heat. Add 1 pint grape tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, until they burst.

Brush a 12-in. par-cooked whole-wheat pizza crush (like Boboli) wit a 1 Tbsp olive oil and season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Top with 3/4 cup shredded cheese, the tomatoes, 4 trimmed asparagus spears (cut into pieces), and 1 sliced chicken sausage.

Place the pizza on the baking and bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden, about 15 minutes.

Romove from oven; top with crushed red pepper and grated Parmesan.

Make 6 slices. Per slice: 275 cal, 15 g fat (5 g sat fat), 14 g pro, 26 g car, 5 g fiber.

1 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined, and sliced in thirds (about 4 cups)
2 Tbsp. lemon zest (from 1 to 2 lemons)
1/4 cup chopped water chestnuts
1 scallion, finely chopped (about 2 Tbsp.)
1 Tbsp. peeled and minced ginger
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 egg white
16 to 18 square wonton wrappers
2 to 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Kimichi Yogurt Sauce
(see recipe above)

1. Place shrimp on paper towels to blot moisture. In a medium bowl, mix shrimp, zest, water chestnuts, scallion, ginger, cornstarch, soy sauce, and egg white.
2. Place wrappers on a work surface. Spoon 2 Tbsp. shrimp mixture in center of a wrapper. Using a finger dipped in water, moisten edges of wrapper. Fold bottom up over shrimp mixture, pressing so filling spreads horizontally, and continue to fold to creat a cigar-shaped tube with seam of dumpling on bottom. Seal sides by pressing down edges. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook dumplings in batches (placed seam side down, a few inches apart). Reduce heat to medium and cook, shaking pan gently, shaking pan gently, until bottoms of dumblings are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add 2 to 3 Tbsp. water to skillet and cover (water will spatter, so be careful). Continue cooking until water evaporates, about 1 minute. Lift lid and a few more Tbsp. of water. Cover and cook 1 minute more. Add water a third time and allow dumplings to cook through. (Total cooking time should be 8 to 9 minutes per batch.) Remove from heat heat. Serve with Kimchi Yogurt Sauce. Serves 8 as an appetizer, 4 as a main course. Total time: 35 minutes

This looks hard to make.

1 package Silken Lite firm tofu
2 cups unsweetened soy milk
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/4 cup raw cashew
1 Tbsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 white onion, diced
1 Tbsp fresh parley, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup white cooking wine
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
16 ounces whole grain linguine, cooked


Blend all the ingredients from the tofu to the pepper until smooth. Saute the onion with the herps and water in a saucepan over medium heat until translucent and the liquid has evaporated. Be careful not to brown the onion during this step. Pour in the wine, swirling it around the pan to absorp the heat until it begins to sizzle. Add the blended ingredients to the wine and onions, continuously whisking the sauce.

When a gentle bubbling starts, gradually add the flour and continue to whisk until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat. The sauce will be frothy at this point. Continue whisking for 1 minute, or until the sauce has settled, and is smooth and thick. Ladle over the pasta.


Variation:

Add artichoke hearts and mushrooms to the sauce.

Maybe this isn't a recipe, but I've found that if you need some quick carbs and like seaweed (sushi nori), make a pot of jasmine rice and then wrap some of the fresh rice in a strip of nori. Then eat as is or add sriracha, soy sauce, or your seasoning of choice. It's warm, comforting, and versatile. You can eat it alone or with a meal.

(Or if you really just want to make sushi [in Korea it's called kimbap if you use beef], add a little sugar and salt to the rice, let it cool. Then put vegetable matchsticks, cooked meat of choice, and pack it on top of a sheet of nori layered with rice. Use a sushi mat to roll it. Slice the roll, wiping the knife clean between rolls/cuts. And there you have it.)

Crust 29 squares (each square being 1/2 of those big pieces from the package) of Graham crackers rolled out to be crumbs. 1 1/3rd of a cube of butter melted.

Pour butter into a large Pyrex baking dish (I think 1 by 13, the one part I'm not sure of, I know it when I see it and it need not be exact) and then spread the graham cracker crumbs over it evenly. That is the hardest part for me.

3 packages cream cheese, 4 eggs, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 cup sugar. Mix well. My secret, mix very well. I use a kitchenaid mixer and start with the standard mixing attachment and then once mixes switch to the whisk and beat in a lot of air!

Preheat oven to 350. Pour and spread this over the crust. Bake for 25 minutes. I generally bake a bit longer and wait until it browns just a little on the top.

Take out and cool for 25 minutes.

Topping: 1 cup sour cream. 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla. Preheat oven to 450. Mix well and pour evenly over top and spread as needed.

Bake for 5 minutes.

Cool, cover with cellophane and put in fridge.

Original is fancier than fancy. MEH.

Instead do this:

2 cups sifted flour

1/2 cup light brown sugar

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter


In a large mixing bowl, stir together cake flour and sugar. Add butter and cut the butter into reasonable sized pieces. Mix. I use a KitchenAid Mixer and it works great. It should get to be sort of like coarse bread crumbs.

Grab a bunch of it and shape it like a log. Put that on a cutting board and press it down into a long sort of box shaped thing. I then trim the sides and end. The cut into 1/4 to 1/3 inch think pieces. The idea is more or less square cookies. Size is your choice.

Put on cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 325. Just before putting in the oven mix one egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the top of each cookie.

Bake until cookies just start to turn brown. This is NOT critical, as they get more brown the taste changes but is still good over a wide range.

Cool, store in sealed container.

I usually make a double recipe. One egg yolk is still barely enough.
