<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 cup diced chicken breast (rotisserie is convenient) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4 large carrots, sliced</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 box Pastina Pasta</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">64 ounces of prepared Chicken broth (or one large can)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 tsp minced onions (optional)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 TBS Parmesan cheese</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 tsp Parsley</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Salt and Pepper to taste</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Instructions:</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In a pot saute the onions (if you are using them) in a tbs of olive oil for a few mins until translucent. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the carrots and cook until slightly soft. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pour in the Pastina and continue to boil about 5 minutes. Add the chicken, parsley, cheese and salt and pepper to taste, turn the temp down to low to slightly simmer. Put the lid on, wait a few minutes and then, soups on!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">**Some ideas**</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> When I make soups with any pasta lately I have been cooking the pasta separately and then adding it to each serving. The pasta tends to swell up and make all the leftover soup starchy and also absorbs all of the broth. If this happens, you can just add more water to thin it out and test for flavor with salt and pepper. Even adding a bullion cube if necessary. It's easier to keep the pasta separate unless you don't intend on having leftovers :-)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">4 large very ripe bananas mashed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 egg (beaten)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">½ cup sugar (you could use more if you like them REALLY sweet but the bananas are sweet enough)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">⅓ cup butter, melted</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1½ cups plain all-purpose flour</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 teaspoon baking powder</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 teaspoon baking soda </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">½ teaspoon salt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Streusel Topping (not necessary! but it's what I made)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">½ cup plain flour</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">¼ cup brown sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">½ stick (57 grams) cold butter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">¼ teaspoon cinnamon</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">INSTRUCTIONS:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Preheat oven to 350F. Mash bananas and add the lightly beaten egg, sugar and butter and mix well to combine and set aside. In another bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and whisk well. Add nuts or chocolate or whatever add-ins you want to the dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until nearly all the flour has disappeared. Overmixed muffins are tough.Pour into greased cupcake pans (add streusel if you wish) and bake for about 20 minutes. Touch the tops and if they spring back, they're done.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until it's streuselly. (or crumbly) If you don't have a processor, a fork works just fine - or your fingers.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Ingredients: </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2-3lbs of beef sirloin, cut into small chunks</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5 large carrots, sliced</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4 celery stalks, sliced </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 large white onion, diced</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5 cloves garlic, minced</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 bag of lentils</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 quarts of beef stock</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4 TBS tomato paste</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3 TBS Worshishire sauce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Bay leaves</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Olive oil</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Salt and pepper</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Directions:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Rinse and drain the lentils out very well in a colandar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Put a pot of water on to boil with salt added. Cook the lentils for 10-15 until they are soft but have a little bite. Drain, put back in the pot, on warm and put the lid on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In a large heavy bottom pan or dutch oven, brown the meat in olive oil until browned. Remove the meat from pan and add in the vegetables. Add salt and pepper and mix in with the oil/juices. Cook until onions are translucent and veggies begin to brown. Add in the tomato paste. Blend in with the veggies with a wooden spoon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Throw in bay leaves and pour in the beef stock and Worshishire sauce. Bring to a low boil, add the meat back in, simmer with the lid on for a good hour. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Check the tenderness of the meat and carrots and taste for any needed salt, pepper etc...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some people will add the lentils right into the pot, but I keep the cooked lentils on warm in a seperate pot and put a few spoonfuls of them in the bowl and top with the hot broth, and put the meat and veggies over them. I do this also with any noodle soups and any other soups with pasta. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is similar to Beef Stroganoff....but not. More of a French or Italian feel. Tarragon always reminds me of French cooking. Of course, in this particular case I made fresh </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">fettuccine...most definitely Italian. Perhaps its intercontinental. Maybe fusion? It was good and the sauce would go with any type of pasta...you could even switch out the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">pasta for rice or potatoes. It would work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 lb ground beef</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 large onion chopped</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3 cloves garlic</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">bunch of fresh chopped Tarragon (1/2 cup?)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">tsp + Kitchen Bouquet (sauce/gravy enhancer)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 tsp (?) cornstarch and a bit of water for a paste</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">tsp Worcestershire sauce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 tsp Better than Bouillon and 1 1/2 cup water (or 10 ounces of beef stock/broth)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 - 3 tbs (?) sour cream</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cooked Pasta</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cook the onion in a bit of olive oil for a couple minutes till translucent. Add ground beef and cook till browned thru. Add garlic and cook for a couple minutes more. Drain </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">excess fat. Add broth of Beef Better Than Bouillon and water. Add a couple tsps cornstarch (?) to a cup and add a bit of water. Add to mixture on stove top. Stir well. Add </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Worcestershire sauce and Kitchen Bouquet. Cook on med heat a few minutes more. Sauce will start to thicken. Add more water if need be. Add sour cream, salt and pepper to </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">taste. Add chopped Tarragon. Toss sauce in fresh cooked pasta. Top with more fresh Tarragon.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/3 cup finely chopped chives</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Stir together the butter, olive oil, chives and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or 2 chopsticks. Slice the potato into thin slices, leaving 1/4 inch at the bottom unsliced; the spoon handles will prevent you from slicing the potato all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush on the butter mixture, making sure to get in between all the slices. Bake until tender and crisp, 55 to 60 minutes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 large cans of San Marzano Tomatoes </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 med onion diced</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bunch of fresh chopped basil</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Squeeze of agave nectar (or a couple tbsp reg table sugar)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 cup fresh grated Parmesan (add more to taste)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Salt & pepper to taste</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Olive oil</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sauté onion in a bit of olive oil in a heavy stock pot. Cook till tender, 3 - 4 minutes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Add San Marzano tomatoes. Cook on med heat for 5 - 10 minutes. With a stick blender, mix the soup in the pan till the tomatoes are broken down. Can use a reg blender if need be. A potato masher will work in a pinch, but soup will be more chunky. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> 2-3 lb Top round or Chuck Beef "roast"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 cup water</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Tablespoons each minced or chopped onion and garlic</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, thyme</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 tsps flour</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Olive oil</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In a large crock pot, pour in a little olive oil and 1 cup water. Rub the roast in olive oil and season with all of the listed seasonings. Place in crock and cook on high for about 3 hours or until you see a lot of liquid accumulated. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pour out most of the juices into a glass bowl. Re-season the roast and put back in on Low for another 2 hours. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remove the roast and spoon off all of the fat. Whisk the flour into the juices in the bowl . Add the roast back in and pour gravy over the roast. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cook another hour or so until it comes apart with a fork. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Note: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #f6f7f8;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have recently discovered that when using the slow cooker with meats that draining the excess liquid out halfway through and res-seasoning the meat, makes a more flaovorful, less soggy and watered down dish. I wish I had tried this long ago. So much better!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: "georgia" , serif; line-height: 107%;">Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Brown in batches, 4 to
6 minutes per side. If you are using a premade chicken, chop up into large
chunks or shred it with a fork and set aside.</span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: "georgia" , serif; line-height: 107%;">
</span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: "georgia" , serif; line-height: 107%;">Transfer to a plate and in the same pot add the butter, let melt then

boil, lower and let simmer for about 20 minutes. Shred the chicken with 2 forks
or cut into small chunks and return it to the pot. In a separate small bowl,
whisk together ½ cup of flour, 2 cups of the cooking liquid, and ¼ teaspoon

roast and did a dry rub around the whole roast of black pepper, salt, onion
powder and garlic powder mix. Two medium onions and cubed them to bite size, 12
yukon gold potatoes and cubed them and used the already peeled small bag of
carrots about 3/4 of a small bag. I mixed the veggies and put a few layers on
the bottom and then I put the roast in the middle of the crock and surrounded
it with the rest of the veggies and potatoes. I used about 3/4 of a largest can
of beef broth to bring it to about 2 1/2 inches from the top of the crock. I
turned on high for 2 hours, then on low for 8 more hours. I took out the roast,
veggies and potatoes and kept the broth in the crock and added flour to thicken
the broth to a gravy with a whisk. Put the veggie/potatoes back in crock on
high for 10 minutes while carving the roast and served. The recipe I saw read 5
hours on high or 8 hours on low but I left it in a little longer for a more
well done roast. It was so tender and had enough for the next few nights as well.
Hope you like it.</span></span></span><span style="color: #171717; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: background2; mso-themeshade: 26;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 12.8400001525879px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 107%;">Cook the packaged risotto according to instructions on package and set
aside to cool (2 packages will make approx. 14-16 arancine.) I use Premium
Risotto Milanese style, so it already has saffron in it, which is the way it
was originally made. I found it at my local Shop-Rite in the rice aisle.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="line-height: 107%;"> </span><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">Meanwhile, I sweat half of a large onion finely chopped, along with 2
finely chopped garlic cloves, then add 1lb of ground beef and cook, salt and
pepper to taste (I also use Adobo as a complete seasoning).</span><span style="line-height: 107%;">Once almost fully cooked, I drain most of the fat, than add tomato sauce
or plum tomatoes or diced tomatoes….whatever you have at hand….but just enough
to coat the meat sauce…I would say about half of a 28oz can and stir well. Add
more salt n pepper to taste (or Adobo). It is important to gently season every
step of the way. Finally, I stir in about 2 cups of frozen peas (or more
according to how you like it). Keep cooking it for a couple of minutes then
turn off and set aside to cool off.</span><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">While the meat is cooling off, I prepare my assembly stations: a dish with
2 whisked eggs, a tbsp. of milk and salt n pepper, another dish with Italian
style bread crumbs and a few sprinkles of parmesan cheese, and another dish
with shredded or diced mozzarella. I then set a deep pan for frying. I like
mixing 2 parts of vegetable oil to 1 part olive oil and let it warm up until
ready for frying (I put a wooden spoon at the bottom of the pan, to see if it’s
ready. If it looks like it’s bubbling around the spoon, then you’ll know it’s
ready.)</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="line-height: 107%;"> </span><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">I assemble right next to the sink, because you need to continuously rinse
out your hands…..plus keeping your hands wet, it allows for the rice balls to
form easier (or if you prefer, you can add one whisked egg to the cooled rice,
to help binding it – I don’t want to use the raw egg in it, so I just keep my
hands wet, and since the risotto has a bit of a mushy/sticky consistency to it,
it works fine with wet hands.) Now you take about 2 heaping tablespoon of
risotto and put it in your hand as if you are forming half of the rice ball, by
creating a small well in your hand. Make sure the layer of risotto used, it’s
not too thick, to avoid a rice ball with too much risotto and not enough
filing. Then, add 1 to 2 tsp of the cooled meat, a tsp or two of shredded
mozzarella or a couple of diced pieces, then take another amount of rice, with
your other wet hand, and cover the other filled part, by trying to create the
filled rice into a ball shape. Your wet hands will help the process and also, a
bit of patience. Once your ball is formed, I put it in the egg mixture, then
bread crumbs mixture, and set aside. I cook them in batches of 2 or 3, just to
make sure you don’t burn them, and to make sure the oil temperature stays
consistent. I keep turning them in the oil for about 3 or 4 minutes each (it
depends from the size), then take them out and let them drain on a tray lined
with paper towel.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="line-height: 107%;"> </span><br /><span style="line-height: 107%;">Make sure to wait a couple of minutes before eating them. They taste
better at room temperature than hot, but that’s just my opinion…..oh yeah, and
make sure to make lots of them…..they are DIVINE!!!!!!</span></h2>

(You can also use an ovenproof baking dish.) Place the fish fillets skin side
down on the sheet pan. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. <br />
<br />
Combine the crème fraîche, two mustards, shallots, capers, 1 teaspoon salt, and
1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Spoon the sauce evenly over the fish
fillets, making sure the fish is completely covered. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes,
depending on the thickness of the fish, until it’s barely done. (The fish will
flake easily at the thickest part when it’s done.) Be sure not to overcook it!
Serve hot or at room temperature with the sauce from the pan spooned over the
top</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
