Cream Cheese Kugel (Betsy Codier)

8 oz cream cheese
1/4 c butter
4 beaten eggs
1/2 c milk
1/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 c noodles – cooked and drained (I’ve used so many different sorts it is ridiculous, even angel hair cooks into it decently)
1/2 c raisins
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Mix cream cheese and butter.  Add eggs, milk, sugar, salt.  Then noodles and butter.  Sprinkle with cinnamon.  (Or mix some in with the other stuff and then sprinkle as well.)
Bake 30 minutes at 375 or until it looks like it has set.

Zucchini Bread (Mrs. Ross)

3 eggs, beaten

Add & Beat:
2 c.sugar
1 c. oil (I used olive)
1 tsp vanilla

Add & Beat:
2 c. peeled (I didn’t bother) and grated zucchini

Mix. Add. Beat:
1 1/2 tsp soda
3 c flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1-2 T cinnamon (I ran to the higher side here, but I love cinnamon)

Stir in:
1/2 c. raisins (guessing currant would be lovely, too, but I didn’t try that this time.)
1/2 c. nuts

My guesstimation on cook temp and time was 350 and 45 minutes, which seemed to work wonderfully.

Was wonderful. My partner’s psych class thought so, too. They have a policy of bringing food on test days, and I sent along a loaf of this. The zucchini was less than 6 hours from the garden, too, which probably helped.

Garlic Mussels in White Wine (Me, with help from The Minimalist)

Mussels, still in shell.  Saute in oil, shake around for a minute or so, add a bunch of sliced garlic.  When garlic starts to colour, add about a cup of white wine.  Turn the heat up, mussels will start popping open.  (Add some butter for flavor, your favorite green spice to finish off.)

Fairly quick, and if you get it right, awfully tasty.

Apples, Noodles, and Cheese Casserole (Betsy Codier)

12 oz noodles
1 c shredded cheddar
4 T butter
4 c diced, peeled apples
1/2 c dark brown sugar

Marinade chicken in:  lemon flavored salad dressing or 1/3 c lemon juice, 3 T Dijon, 1/3 c olive oil, pepper to taste
