2 c chicken, tempeh or tofu, cubed ... or pork or beef or shrimp

salt & pepper

Set aside

Scramble 4 eggs, beaten

1 t soy sauce

1 t agave or brown sugar

pinch of salt

Cut into slices

Saute 1 1/3 c in total of any combo of vegetables. Cook hard veg first, then add in softer veg:

onion, chopped or thinly sliced

cubed carrots,

colored bell peppers,

snow peas or petite peas,

(Consider bamboo, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, etc.)

Season with:

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 t ginger

2-4 T soy sauce, to taste

Nicola's Fisk

Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked! [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.] Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide. Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese. {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent] Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Hot Chocolate from scratch makes it easier to serve a group all at the same time Melt 1/2 lb dark chocolate pieces in 1 quart of milk Stir constantly to almost a boil - careful not to burn the bottom Remove from heat Toppings: whipped cream or frozen coconut cream orange zest cinnamon, cardamom, saffron

It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design. Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it. Recipe: Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig": 2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time: 1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients: 1 1/2 t almond e...
