Phyllo pastry appetizers/2 recipes

My favorite as a child growing up in cold Minnesota.

When President-elect Barack Obama made tuna salad with his family on “60 Minutes” last year, he used this recipe, specifying troll-caught albacore.

A great bread, you can serve it with a cup of coffee or tea, or it can be served with any main course.

These are all kinds of ways to cook cauliflower, and all kinds of ways to use parmesan and balsamic vinegar, in this recipe, mix these three together, after baking, cauliflower just turn out golden brown with parmesan on top and balsamic tossed, wonderful flavor.

Buttermilk, raisins and honey flavor this old fashioned soda bread.

Even if you don't like eggplant, you will love this dish. Roasting develops huge amount of flavor and gets rid of most of the moisture from the vegetables. Roasted garlic just adds more yumminess. A delicious pasta dish that can be served as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.

Pineapple stuffed empanadas. A delicate pastry style dough with a filling of pineapple and apricot jam. Perfect for afternoon tea or healthy snacks for the kids or guests.

Delicious! Considering a much lower fat creamy style pasta dish, this recipe definitely deserves 5 stars.

This appetizer is quick and easy to make. Beautiful.

A scrumptious and decadent dessert that will have your family asking you to make it everyday!

In this recipe, we use whole wheat pastry flour and all purpose flour, reduce the amount of the sugar, let the cookies appear much more healthy.

This recipe is over 100 years old. I add a twist to the recipe (and a little sweetness) by adding some golden raisins, like my favorite restaurant in Provincetown, Mass., does.

This recipe was absolutely divine. The Korean spicy-sweet sauce was the key, which gave the dish an authentic Korean taste. Assorted mushrooms and vegetables added layers of great textures. The combination was just delicious!

I didn't use quinoa flour, instead I added about 1 1 /2 cups cooked quinoa. I used walnuts, also added about 1/4 cup of bittersweet chocolate chips, and the sweetness was just right

This Indian dish is made with several kinds of spices, mustard greens, cauliflower and chickpeas; it's baked with basmati rice, topped with golden raisins and cashews. You can serve it as a side dish or a tasty main dish.

Light fluffy and cheesy. A great party in "la bouche" (the mouth). Can be made ahead and popped in the oven when you're ready to bake them up fresh. The probability is that each person will have no problem consuming 4 per serving!
