03-13 Easy Crescent rolls or cheesy crescents

These are slightly sweet and very soft

Just after lunch or during a break in the early afternoon, combine:
2 1/4 t yeast or 1 pkg
1/4 c warm water
Let yeast get bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Then beat together in large bowl:
3 eggs
Then add
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c butter, melted
1/2 t salt
1 c water
Mix well and then mix in yeast
Add
4 1/2 c flour
Mix until dough is smooth and silky
Cover bowl tightly with saran wrap and put in refrigerator for about 3 hours

Later, about a half hour before you want to eat, remove from fridge and divide into 4 pieces
Roll out into a circle on floured surface one piece at a time and cut into 8 triangles (like a pizza)
Start with large end of triangle and roll dough into crescent shape
Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 375 F Serve warm!
You can freeze the extras, it makes a lot...32! But they reheat well

*You can spread each triangle with thin layer of cream cheese and/or slice of cheese then place a slice of ham or shredded chicken or turkey.... etc. inside
They make a great comfort side to a big salad.

Nordic curry

This is a mild anytime curry.  Takes 10-15 minutes. The original (dairy) sauce is from Magnus Nilsson. I double the sauce so there's plenty. Especially because I like to add vegetables and proteins.

Be generous with the salt and pepper.  Melt 4 T butter over medium heat in a sauté pan (wide, shallow).  Sprinkle in 4 T yellow curry powder and stir to combine.  Add 1-2 tart apple (Granny Smith), cored and chopped or cubed & 1 onion, finely chopped. When apples and onion are softened, sprinkle them with 2 T flour .

When smooth, add in 1 1/2 c milk OR coconut milk in the same manner. Allow to begin to bubble and thicken before serving. Season gen...

Pasta al limone

 Basically it's Lemon Spaghetti. I needed a side dish for a friend's seafood lunch and this was perfect.

Tastes great with fish and chicken, so far.  Cook  12 oz. spaghetti in generously salted boiling water.  While waiting for the pasta, slice of a couple thin strips from a lemon for garnish (if desired)  Zest  1 lemon into a large sauce pan (the spaghetti will go into it later)  and juice the lemon , setting the juice aside. Add 1/2 c. heavy cream and  4 Tbsp. unsalted butter to the lemon zest   and let it melt over low hea...
