Recipe: Garlic Knots
Verdict: Super yummy!! I will make these again and again :)
Pizza dough all rolled out. I used pre-made, but you could make your own.
Here are the strips of dough all knotted up and ready for the oven.
Garlic simmering in butter. YUM! I added red chili pepper flakes for a little spice.
Fresh out of the oven.
And ready to eat after swimming in the garlic butter for a little bit.
I served them as an appetizer for calzones, one of my favorite meals :)
I love serving pudding in martini and wine glasses :)
Tofu: Cut tofu into cubes. Toss in marinade. Bake in a 450 degree oven until the desired texture.
I prepared the noodles according to the package directions. They soaked up more of the liquid than I expected :). Then I sauteed them with the veggies and some sesame oil.
The final product. Yum!!
This one has Ghiradelli chocolate :)
Melt some butter in a pan and dip the stuffed bread slices in a mixture of beaten egg, a little soy milk, vanilla and a dash of cinnamon. Dunk both sides of the bread in the egg mixture.
Add the bread slices to the pan and heat.
When the filling has just started to melt (yum), you can turn them over.
The finished product. Here it is served covered with raspberries and berry syrup, with a side of Morningstar Farms veggie sausage and a glass of grapefruit juice.
Here is the final product, garnished with a lemon twist.
I started with some Yves veggie chorizo and McCormick's taco seasoning. I had never used the chorizo before and only bought it because I found a really great deal on it at Grocery Outlet :)
I added some black beans for a little interest and cooked them together with some hot sauce and Bragg's Liquid Aminos. No oil!
All served on a whole wheat tortilla with lettuce, tomato and onion for me.....
lettuce, tomato and cheese for my hubby :)
Mmmmmm. Looks appetizing, right?
It actually tasted ok. The texture was a little weird. Probably will never make it again.
Look what it did to my pan. The spray "butter" did not do its job.
Then they are shaken in a Ziploc bag of blended Fiber One and seasoning.
They are then baked in the oven. I did not get a picture of them after baking, but they looked pretty much like this, except with cheese oozing out.
They were served with Chef Pastorelli pizza sauce, possibly the best pizza sauce ever. Since I don't eat cheese, I did not get to taste the cheese sticks, but Rob tells me that they are excellent and should definitely be served at our next party!!
Again this recipe is a Hungry Girl recipe and calls for Fiber One Original and egg substitute. It was very difficult to cover each little piece of each layer of the onion with the egg and the cereal.
Here it is after baking. It was not super pleasant to eat, since the coating was very uneven and clumped in areas. I really like onions, so I couldn't stop eating it, although I did remove a lot of the coating :) There was a dipping sauce recipe to go with the onion, but since it sounded a lot like Thousand Island dressing and I already had some in the fridge, I just used the pre-made Thousand Island. It went well with the onion.
Asparagus cooking in veggie broth with seasonings.
Meanwhile, I made some parmesan crisps. The recipe called for lining the cookie sheet, so I used wax paper.
Unfortunately, the paper stuck to the bottom of my crisps. Ooops.
Second attempt. No wax paper. Success:)
After the asparagus is blended, lemon juice is added.
