Swabian Cheese Spatzle (From the Stars and Stripes Newspaper) Ingredients: Spatzle Press 3 Eggs 10 oz flour 1 tsp salt 3/4 cup water 1 tbsp butter 1/4 pound of grated cheese (Gouda, Cheddar or Swiss) Combine the eggs, water, salt, and flour.  Beat by hand until the dough is thick and smooth.  The dough will create bubbles when done correctly.  Bring 2 to 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot and add a little oil. Fill the press with dough and squeeze them into the boiling water slowly.  They are done when they float to the top.  Remove them with a slotted spoon, rinse with hot water, and place on a plate to keep warm as you prepare the rest of the batter. Now experienced Swabians can do this without the press by streaching the mixture onto a large cutting board and slicing the dough using a sharp knife.  I never tried because we had the press.

Thanks to Terri Chylinski for giving this to my wife Monica, when we lived in San Antonio, Texas. 1 can refried beans 8 oz Mayonaise 8 oz sour cream 1 pkg Old El Paso taco seasoning Black olives (to taste) Tomatoes. (to taste) Onion. (to taste) Cheese (Shredded - your choice) Mix the taco seasoning, the mayo, and sour cream together.  Heat the refried means just enough so they are pliable and put the beans on the bottom of whatever container you'll be using for the dip.  Put the mayo combination on top of the refried beans.  The third layer will be the black olives, tomatoes, onions, all topped with the cheese.

You'll need: 6 cups of water (I use chicken broth) 16oz dried peas .5 lb of bacon 2 stalks of celery, chopped 2 carrots, sliced 1 onion, chopped 1 tsp of salt 1/4 tsp thyme Combine everything in a large microwave container, cover, and cook on high for 12 minutes.  Stir and then cook on medium for 1 hour.  Put the peas through a blender to make a puree out of them and place everything in a large pot and simmer for an hour adding water if/when soup gets too thick.

(This is adopted and modified from a NYT recipe) I was following the original recipe that called for white beans or cannellini beans but I did not have any.  Instead, I substituted a can of chili with beans and a can of just chili beans,  It was excellent.  Here's how: 2   teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 large lemon) 2   (10-ounce) containers cherry or grape tomatoes ¼   cup olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons and more for drizzling (optional) 1   tablespoon fresh thyme leaves   Kosher salt and black pepper 1   medium yellow onion, thinly sliced 3   large garlic cloves, thinly sliced ½   teaspoon red-pepper flakes 2   (15-ounce) cans of chili with beans and one just chili beans 1 ½   cups vegetable or chicken broth, or water   Flaky salt, for serving (optional)   Toasted bread, for serving Heat the oven to 425 degrees.

A stolen recipe from the healthy living app Yazio, and modified just a little to enhance the flavor.  They use what they call Zoodles which are zucchini noodles you can make using a potato peeler, but I bought them pre-made from Kroger.  Zucchini noodles actually lose water when cooked so dropped in a frying pan with a few tablespoons of olive oil and heated for about 5 minutes.  This whole meal only takes just a few minutes. Here's a link to video my sister and I made making Chicken Alfredo with "Zoodles"   3 Chicken breast fillets Salt and Pepper Ms Dash Table spice 2 tbsp butter Chicken stock 3 garlic cloves 2 zucchini or buy them pre-made in the produce department Parsley Pint of heavy cream Grated Parmesan Cut the chicken into chewable size chunks and in a pan with 2 tbsp of butter, salt, pepper, Ms dash, and sliced garlic cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the garlic soft.  Cover and add a half a cup of chicken stock and...
