NOTE: This recipe is doubled from the original. It will completely fill the 9 x 13 pan, if not give a little extra. The recipe can be cut in half, and put into a 2 quart casserole dish as well.

 

 

Peanut Butter Noodles  by  Janine C             Back to the top

(Right click HERE and Choose "Save Target As..." to save this as a Word Document on your hard drive)

Ingredients:

Salt, to taste
1 pound spaghetti
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped
1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
1-inch piece fresh ginger
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon hot chili paste (from an Asian market)
1/3 cup boiling water
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into matchsticks
 
Directions:
 
1) Bring a soup kettle of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and return to
a boil, stirring.
2) Cook the spaghetti for 8 to 10 minutes or until it is tender
but still has some bite.
3) Drain the spaghetti and rinse it with cold water. Transfer it to a large bowl.
4) Add the sesame oil and toss well to coat the strands so that they don't stick
together.
5) Add the scallions and set the pasta aside.
6) Chop the nuts coarsely.
7) In the bowl of a food processor, combine the ginger, garlic, peanut butter, soy
sauce, vinegar, chili paste, and water. Work in on-off motions until the mixture
is smooth. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little more water.
8) Spoon half of the sauce over the noodles and toss to coat. Continue adding
sauce, a few spoonfuls at a time, until the noodles are all coated with sauce.
(Refrigerate any extra sauce in a jar for up to 1 week)
9) Transfer the noodles to a covered container. Sprinkle with cucumber and peanuts
and refrigerate.

Proposal Brownies         by Todd S               Back to the top

(Right click HERE and Choose "Save Target As..." to save this as a Word Document on your hard drive)

Ingredients:

2 rolls of chocolate chip cookie dough (Nestle Tollhouse recommended)
1 12oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 14oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
1 pinch of salt
 

Preheat oven to 350 degree.  In a 9" x 12" greased pan, flatten out  one roll of cookie dough, covering bottom.

For middle layer, combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, Vanilla, and salt into saucepan, and cook over low heat until melted smooth.

Pour melted chocolate layer over the bottom layer, spreading with a spoon to cover.

Slice second roll of dough and layer on top of the chocolate layer.

Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, or until the top layer is golden brown.  Chill in refrigerator, cut when cool, and get ready for proporals :-)

Hints/Recommendations:

    * While prepping middle and top layers, bake the bottom layer slightly; it may come out too raw if you cover it and it doesn’t cook long enough; and cooking too long will burn the top layer

    * Wet hands and flatten the sliced cookie dough for the top layer, trying to cover completely

    * Low fat sweetened condensed milk works fine – like THAT would help any!!
