Cottage pie/3 recipes

This wonderful crispy phyllo tart is a great recipe especially for holidays or you have guests, you can use fresh or frozen spinach. The ricotta, feta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes mix with spinach, adding eggs and egg whites, after baking, it is fantastic.

This isn't your ordinary Mom's or Campbell's over-salted Chicken Noodle Soup. Udon noodles, lemongrass, and mushrooms take the soup to the next level.

I have made 3 of these-all turned out perfect!!!

This pie won me second place at my churches dessert contest .. Yummy

Easy Karo Pecan Pie recipe

My family of 3 boys and my husband refuse to eat anything "healthy"...well I made this tvp chili, but did not tell them what was in it. Well between the 4 of them they finished the pot. So excellent!! Easily used to "fool" non vegetarians!

So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo. The meal I speak of is Cottage Pie. There is much debate as to what exactly a cottage pie is and how it is different to a Shepherd’s pie...I don’t know. The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:

This Greek-style spinach pie was absolutely delicious! The cheese mixture of ricotta and feta was moist and cheesy, which gave the pie lots of flavors; sauteed mushrooms, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes were a great combination. The phyllo came out golden brown and crispy. This pie can be served as a lighter main dish or an elegant appetizer.

Here is a recipe, developed young man here in the Detroit area. With this recipe, he won a $10,000 scholarship to Johnson and Wales College, which is considered a top-notch cooking school, located in Charleston, SC. This young man, Andre Black, spent 2 weeks developing this recipe, this cake was among the top 19 recipes chosen (out of 270) as winners. Andre was on the front page of the Detroit News yesterday, along with the recipe. The Detroit News food writer, Robin Mather says "For a Carrot Cake, this is a hell of a fruit cake." She found this cake suited to 3 - 8 inch layers.

Extremely quick and easy to throw together. Turns out much like a cheesy crustless quiche. Uses bisquick baking mix (or you can make your own easily enough).

This is an easy to make pumpkin pie, and the flavor is also wonderful. A great dessert for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

You can use any vegetable as you wish, the pastry is made with whole wheat flour, low fat milk and a little bit butter or olive oil. It is a much healthier way to enjoy a pot pie!

Diabetic Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies recipe

A decadent scalloped potato pie. Buttery and flakey puff pastry, cheesy, juicy and tender potatoes. You just can't have enough of it.

This apple ricotta pie turned out delicious. I used homemade granola instead of the cereal, and it is much lower in fat and calories. Still tasted wonderful.

Bisquick (or any biscuit mix) helps make an easy inexpensive main dish. Packed with meaty mushrooms this vegetarian main is ready when you are.
