recipelink.com (03:00:57) : Half Moon Meat Pies
Recipe By :Jo Anne Merrill
Makes: 18

This is an extremely easy and versatile meat pie. Use the hamburger meat in this recipe or use COOKED chopped beef roast or COOKED and chopped chicken in filling. Salt is to be divided between pastry and filling.

1 1/2 cups ground round
1 whole onion -- chopped
1 cup mushrooms
3 tablespoons margarine -- solid
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 dash nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 egg

Melt margarine in skillet. Saute the mushrooms, onions and lean ground round until lightly browned. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper and dash of nutmeg or allspice if desired. Set aside.

Mix the flour, remaining salt and the sugar in a bowl. Cut the shortening in until mixture is crumbly. Mix egg yolk with remaining sour cream; add to flour mixture and mix well.

Roll dough on floured surface and cut into 18 circles. Use a sour cream carton for circle size guide or any other cutter that will give you about 18 circles. Place 1 heaping teaspoon filling in center of each circle. Fold over and seal edges, pressing with a fork dipped in flour. Mix egg whites with 1 tablespoon water; brush over pies. Add a few sprinkles of sesame seed or celery seed at this point if desired.

Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately. When rewarming these, do so slowly so sour cream will not curdle. Best warmed in oven.

Val,.Ca (12:23:22) : Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies (for breakfast)
The kids might not eat oatmeal, but they'll always eat these for breakfast -- or any time of day.

1 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
2 cups oats
1/4 cup oil
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 350.
Combine all ingredients.
Place tablespoon-sized mounds on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 15-20 minutes.
Turn and flatten halfway through baking.

Val,.Ca (12:22:10) : Breakfast Cookies
So-called because (note the ingredients) they are a meal in themselves.

This is your cookie base. Blend until smooth:
3/4 cup oil
2/3 cup honey
3 or 4 large apples, peeled or unpeeled, cored and chopped
2 tsp. vanilla and/or small wedge lemon

Mix in:
3 cups oatmeal flakes
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup raisins or chopped dates

Let stand for 1/2 hour to let the oatmeal soak in the flavors.

Drop by spoonful onto the drying trays, and dry until firm. Texture
can be according to your preference. The cookies should store well,
if you can keep your fingers off 'em long enough to save a few!

What, no sunflower seeds? Peanut butter does or other nuts
wonderfully well as a substitute. The cooky base also makes a
delicious fruit-salad topping with maybe some sesame cracker crumbles
on top.

Christy.AZ (11:35:49) : For lunch, I like to make vegetable dishes beforehand (usually on the weekend), and just scoop some into a microwavable container. My favorite is two vegetables and a plum. People without low blood sugar could add crackers or a biscuit. I find that vegetables for lunch give me more energy for the rest of the day than, say, a hamburger.

lisa,MI (11:34:02) : BEEFY LENTIL VEGGIE SOUP
1 lb. ground beef
1 1/2 cup lentils, rinsed
1 cup EACH chopped carrots, celery, and onions
3 cups water
salt and pepper
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 46oz can V8 juice
1 can mushrooms, drained
a dash Worcestershire

Brown beef put in big pot with a lid add remaining ingredients cook on high till it boils, then reduce heat and simmer, covered till lentils are done (1 1/2 to 2 hours)

calliope,.NY (10:06:28) : INGREDIENTS FOR A CAJUN/CREOLE SOUP

1-large can of tomatoes in juice, crush them, plus more water, or in puree if you want it more tomato-ey
2-small cans chicken stock
olive or canola oil for sauteing
onions
garlic
2- large ribs sliced celery
1- large green pepper, chopped
jalepeno or red pepper flakes to taste for heat
1-large carrot, chopped
1-cup corn
smoked sausage, quartered and sliced.....I use the turkey variety
(another time try using use smoked tofu or white beans if you like)
2-cups rice...white or brown...even some wild
1-2 cups okra...if you saute it first till golden, it won't be slimy!!!
then deglaze the pan with the juice of one lemon and 1-Tbsp white vinegar. Set aside, add at the end with the cooked greens and cooked rice.
bay leaf
thyme
4- dashes of cloves
salt and pepper to taste
1-heaping tsp. of cajun/creole blend seasonings
escarole...spinach, Swiss chard or Chinese (Napa) cabbage
1-yellow squash quartered and sliced, add near the end
Worcestershire sauce to taste
more lemon if desired
fresh parsley if you wish

calliope,.NY (09:50:44) : Here's another idea, this time for breakfast....or lunch. If you hate to function in the morning, night before, toast a bagel half, allow it to cool completely, shmear it will cream cheese of choice, including the ones they have now that already have some smoked salmon in them, sprinkle with dill weed, place a paper-thin slice of red onion on and top with a slice of beautiful red, ripe tomato, salt and pepper to taste and wrap with plastic wrap to pull out for the morning and take it with you. By the time you get where you are going, it won't be so cold any longer...but of course don't let it sit too long for safety's sake without refrigeration!!!

Burgundy/LA (09:36:18) : COFFEE MUFFINS

1 cup (very strong) coffee,
cold and black
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 cup plain yogurt
2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. double-acting baking powder

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F; prepare muffin pans.
Put the first four ingredients into a bowl & mix well.
Add the dry mix to the wet mix until just combined.
Spoon into pans & bake for 15-20 minutes.
Serve warm with a hot cup of COFFEE!
Yield: about 15 muffins

calliope,.NY (09:20:07) : I think a nice idea for a lunch to take with you when you are unsure of the conditions would be a cold marinated multi-bean and potato salad. Filling, with good protein, will taste better at room temperature anyway and you don't have to worry about refrigeration for several hours or whether there is a microwave available!
