      I hope you all have some foods and recipes to share!

      I’ll start off with one of my favorite “heart healthy diet” dishes……

      Preheat a fry-pan with light-tasting olive oil.
      And remember….don’t be LAZY….
      stir everything as you cook so these babies achieve uniform browning through all stages!

      Slice an onion into pan and season with salt & pepper to taste
      – as Emeril says, “I don’t know where you buy YOUR onions, ’cause where I buy mine they don’t come seasoned.”
      Saute until translucent and beginning to brown.

      Now add sliced new potatoes, and season with salt & pepper, garlic, and sweet paprika
      – as Emeril says, “I don’t know where you buy YOUR potatos, ’cause where I buy mine they don’t come seasoned.”

      Now brown the potatoes to near desired doneness.

      Okay, it’s time to add the sausage. I use a smoked bratwurst from a sausage-maker in Lockeford, CA.
      There is no need to season the sausage – unless you buy awful sausage!

      Now, continue browning and strirring until everything is nicely done to your taste!
      Here’s how mine looks when done.

      Haven’t you heard that olive oil is GOOD for you?
      Let’s not think about the sausage! 😮

      I love this dish as either a side dish, stand-alone meal, or dessert!
      This dish can be made in SO MANY ways! You can exchange the type of noodles, types of cheese.
      You can substitute for the raisins – apricot preserves for instance, etc.

      First I prepare a 12 ounce package of wide egg-noodles, drain, then toss with about a half-stick of butter and let cool.
      Preheat oven to 350ºF.

      Then I mix:
      4 Eggs
      16-oz Ricotta Cheese
      8-oz Sour Cream
      4-oz Cream Cheese
      ¼-Cup whipping cream (can use Half-&-Half or just milk)
      ¼-Cup Raisins (or more….1/3 or ½ Cup)
      ½-Cup brown sugar
      1-Teaspoon salt
      ½-Teaspoon Vanilla
      3 or 4 Dashes of cinnamon
      Then sprinkle a little more cinnamon over top of mixture once you put it in the baking dish.

      Add the noodles and mix gently until well combined with the mixture.
      Grease a 13″x9″x2″ (or other suitable size baking dish) and pour in mixture.

      Bake for 1 hour (or until done – top should be slightly brown on tips of noodles, center should be firm)

      Here’s what mine looked like the other day – I cut into six portions, eat one, and freeze the others individually!

      Ken, Great Idea!!! My mouth is watering just looking at your Creations!!!
      I’ll just be the food critic-I can’t cook much, and when I do it isn’t something that I would get pics of-that would really discourage others, I still can’t figure out why I can’t loose weight with what I cook!!:rolleyes: Your shots are good enough to eat! I better not show my daughter!:D
