Recipe - Cheddar Cheese Quick BreadGrower: Upstate Locally Grown Greenville
Price: $0.10 ( A recipe )Available (Estimated): 197
Homemade bread is hard to beat, particularly on a cold wintry night, spread with butter and with a big bowl of soup - and it's just as good on a warm sunny day with a fresh salad. But it can be hard to find time to bake yeast bread, which takes at least three or four hours to rise and bake. That's when a quick bread is called for. This recipe featuring chunks of cheddar cheese and sour cream can be made in less than an hour and a half. It also makes a great toast for breakfast. (Larger image.) Makes one loaf.
Adapted from Cook’s Illustrated, May/June 2004.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 70 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
4 oz. cheddar cheese (the sharper the better)*
1 1/4 cups whole milk
3 Tbsp. melted butter
1 large egg; lightly beaten
3/4 cup sour cream
Preparation:
1. Heat oven to 350F. Spray a 9" x 5" loaf pan** with nonstick cooking spray. Spread half of parmesan on the bottom of the pan.
2. Cut cheddar into 1/2" cubes.
3. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Add cheddar and toss to coat.
4. In a medium bowl, mix together milk, butter, egg, and sour cream. Combine liquid and dry ingredients folding together with a spatula until just mixed.
5. Pour into the loaf pan and top with remaining parmesan.
6. Bake in center of oven 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Note, because you may hit a pocket of cheese, use the toothpick test in two or three spots.)
7. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then turn bread out and continue cooling for 45 minutes.
*Note 1: Try substituting Gruyere or Jarlsberg for the cheddar.

Recipe - Sauteed Eggplant with BasilGrower: Upstate Locally Grown Greenville
Price: $0.10 ( One Recipe )Available (Estimated): 296
Great for small eggplants.
1 1/2 to 2 pounds eggplant, preferably small
salt
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, more or less
1 tablespoon minced garlic
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped or torn (or more, to taste)
Directions
Peel the eggplant if the skin is thick or the eggplant is less than perfectly firm; cut it into 1/2- inch cubes. If time allows, sprinkle the eggplant liberally with salt and let rest in a colander for up to 1 hour; rinse and pat dry.
Put the olive oil and all but 1 teaspoon of the garlic in a large, deep skillet, preferably nonstick or cast iron, over medium heat. Two minutes later, add the eggplant. Stir and toss almost constantly until the eggplant begins to release some of the oil it has absorbed, after 5 or 10 minutes.
Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the eggplant is very tender, about 30 minutes (this can vary greatly). About 5 minutes before it is done, add the remaining garlic.
Sprinkle with pepper and additional salt if necessary, stir in the basil, and serve.

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Recipe Spicy Sweet Potato PattiesGrower: Upstate Locally Grown Greenville
Price: $0.25 ( Recipe )Available (Estimated): 119
Adapted from Hollyhock Cooks, by the Hollyhock Cooks (New Society Publishers, 2003).
Here is a wonderfully different approach to sweet potatoes: Fragrant little spiced patties, sort of like Indian latkes! Cumin, onion, cilantro and chili pepper make them memorable and truly yummy.
Sweet potatoes are more nutritious than white potatoes, since they are rich in beta-carotenes, so remember this great recipe when Hanukkah rolls around. Meanwhile, these patties could make an eye-opening appearance on your Thanksgiving table, or spice up the festivities at Halloween. They work beautifully as appetizers, side dishes, or even a main course.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
4 eggs
5 cups grated sweet potato
1 cup grated onion
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 teaspoons diced fresh red chili or 1 teaspoon ground
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1. In a small frying pan, toast the cumin seeds until just brown.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whip the eggs, then mix in remaining ingredients, including the toasted cumin seeds.
3. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet and oil lightly. Drop batter by spoonsful into the pan and cook slowly on each side until cakes are very golden, about 25 minutes. Keep warm under a tea towel while cooking the remaining cakes.
Makes 12 small cakes.

Ingredients
4 medium zucchini
1 pound ground beef
1 pound Italian sausage
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1 cup water
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Grease or spray a 13x9 inch baking dish.
2. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. With a spoon, scoop out the seeds. Chop and reserve about 3/4 of the seeds for the stuffing. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, sausage, chopped onion, bread crumbs, egg and the reserved zucchini seeds. Place the meat mixture equally into all of the zucchini halves; mixture should be piled up over the top. Place the filled zucchini halves into the prepared baking dish.
3. In a bowl, stir together the crushed tomatoes, tomato soup, and water. Spoon the tomato mixture over the filled zucchini, liberally. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes. You may want to place foil or a cookie sheet underneath the baking dish because it tends to bubble over and splash.

Price: $0.25 ( One Recipe )Available (Estimated): 1000
BAKED PENNE W/ ITALIAN SAUSAGE
www.RecipeGirl.com
1 lb sweet and hot Italian sausages, casings removed
12 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese (about 1½ cups)
4 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil, divided
salt and ground black pepper
12 ounces fresh whole milk mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 3 cups
3 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1½ cups)
1½ lbs ziti or other short, tubular pasta
4½ cups Marinara Sauce or jarred tomato sauce
¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves (for serving)
1. Bring 6 quarts of water to boil in a large pot over high heat.
2. Meanwhile, cook sausage in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until the sausage loses its raw color, about 5 minutes. Drain the sausage on a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside.
3. Mix ricotta cheese, 2 Tbs. of the olive oil, ½ tsp. salt, and ½ tsp. pepper together; set aside. In a separate bowl, toss the mozzarella and Parmesan together until combined; set aside.
4. Add 1½ Tbs. salt and the pasta to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Reserve 1½ cups of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta. Return the drained pasta to the pot and stir in the marinara sauce, sausage, remaining 2 Tbs. oil and reserved pasta cooking water.
5. Pour half of the sauced pasta into a 13×9-inch baking dish. Drop large spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture evenly over the pasta, then pour the remaining sauced pasta over the ricotta layer. Sprinkle the top of the penne evenly with the mozzarella mixture.
6. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400°F. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil that has been sprayed with vegetable oil spray (or use nonstick foil). Bake until the sauce bubbled lightly around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until pasta is completely heated through, 25 to 30 minutes longer. Sprinkle with basil before serving.

Recipe ~ Lasagne With Zucchini and EggplantGrower: Upstate Locally Grown Greenville
Price: $0.30 ( Recipe )Available (Estimated): 68
Lasagna is a classic one-dish meal that is perfect to take to your summer gatherings or potlucks. Layers of noodles, meat sauce and cheese are a tasty combination, but the calories add up quickly and can total near 800 calories per serving. For those watching their calories, this one dish could use up half of your daily allotment! One of our readers wrote in with the request to lighten up her favorite dish.
In order to do this, I will replace the traditional sausage and ground beef with low-calorie summer vegetables, such as eggplant, zucchini and mushrooms. This will not only lower the calories, it will add more fiber and nutrients to the meal. The layers of cheese also help to pack on the calories and cottage cheese fillings tend to be very high in sodium. For the lightened up version, I will reduce the amount of cheese throughout the layers, without sacrificing taste, by using a mixture of low-sodium ricotta and strongly-flavored Parmesan. With a sprinkle of mozzarella on the top, this dish will brown nicely. My version is half the calories of traditional lasagna, so enjoy it guilt free!
Ingredients:
9 whole wheat lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound button mushrooms, sliced
3 medium zucchini, sliced
1 medium eggplant, sliced
2 (28 oz.) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
16 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
1. Prepare the lasagna noodles according to directions. When cooked through, set aside on paper towels to dry.
2. Sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, zucchini and eggplant, and cook until tender. Mix in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with spices. Simmer for five to 10 minutes.
3. In a small bowl mix together the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses.
4. Evenly coat the bottom of a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish with about a half cup of the sauce. Remove another half-cup of the sauce and set aside.
5. To assemble the lasagna: Top the sauce in the baking dish with an even layer of noodles, cutting to fit the pan if necessary. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the lasagna noodles. Then layer with half of the remaining sauce mixture. Repeat.
6. Top the final layer of noodles with the reserved half-cup of sauce. Sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese.
7. Cover with tin foil and bake in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the cheese has browned.

Recipe ~ Oven Baked Sweet Potato FriesGrower: Upstate Locally Grown Greenville
Price: $0.25 ( Recipe )Available (Estimated): 58
Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe
The baking times are approximate; it depends on how thick you cut the wedges or rounds of sweet potatoes. Try to cut them evenly so they all cook at about the same rate. For best browning results bake only one sheet at a time. Why the sugar? To help with the caramelization and to intensify the sweetness of the fries, but you can easily leave it out if you want.
Ingredients
2 pounds sweet potatoes, about 3 large ones
1/4 cup olive or other vegetable oil
1-2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp salt
1-2 Tbsp spice or spice combination of your choice: chipotle powder, smoked paprika, Chinese five-spice, pumpkin pie spice, garam masala, Cajun seasoning, etc.
Method
1 Preheat oven to 450°F.
2 Peel the sweet potatoes and cut off the ends. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and then, if they are very long, in half crosswise. Cut each piece into wedges. Alternately, you can slice the peeled sweet potato into disks either with a mandoline or a sharp knife.
3 Put the sweet potatoes into a large bowl and add the oil. Mix well to combine. Sprinkle with salt, sugar and spices of your choice. Use your hands to mix well, so all pieces are coated with oil and spices.
4 Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet; the oil they are coated with should keep them from sticking to the pan. If you are trying to cut fat, reduce the oil to 2 Tbsp and use a non-stick coating on the baking sheet. (Note: a commenter has recommended putting them on a wire cooling rack on top of a baking sheet, so that the oven air circulates around the sweet potato pieces and you don't have to turn them in the next step. Another commenter recommends preheating the baking sheet, to help the fries get crisp.)
5 Bake for a total of 25 to 30 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn over all of the sweet potato pieces. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are well browned. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serves 4-6 as a side dish.

Recipe ~ Pumpkin AlfredoGrower: Upstate Locally Grown Greenville
Price: $0.30 ( Recipe )Available (Estimated): 121
Out of my crazy cat lady-like obsession with pumpkin (and, who am I kidding? all things orange) during the Autumn months, came this gem of a simple dinner. This pasta/pumpkin combo may not sound too appealing for some folks , but each and every person I served this stuff to absolutely loved it.
Pumpkin. Alfredo.
It is utterly delicious.
Ingredients:
1 package of your favorite pasta, 12-16 oz. (I highly recommend Tinkyada brand for Gluten Free)
sauce ingredients:
1 package (12 oz.) extra firm silken tofu
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 cup ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal)
1/2 – 1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
olive oil and sea salt to taste
Optional: Awesome with pecans mixed in!
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking, combine all sauce ingredients together in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
When pasta is finished cooking, drain, rinse and return to pot. Toss in a light amount of olive oil to evenly coat the noodles. Salt lightly if desired.
Combine the sauce with the pasta until the desired pasta/sauce ratio is reached. This recipe makes enough to generously coat 14 oz. box or bag of dried pasta.

Recipe ~ Scallion PestoGrower: Upstate Locally Grown Greenville
Price: $0.10 ( Recipe )Available (Estimated): 109
Scallion pesto
1 big bunch of scallions (green onions) or two smaller bunches.
¼ cup pine nuts or the much cheaper shelled sunflower seeds
3 cloves of garlic.
The juice of one lime
Vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Easy Steps
Trim the ends off the scallions, and add them all to a blender with the garlic, lime juice and the nuts. Start to puree. I can't tell you exactly how much oil to use, as it really depends on the weight of the scallions, but just keep drizzling it into the running blender until you get a sauce of a thickness that will still mound on a spoon, but just barely.
Add salt to taste.

Recipe ~ Squash & Leek LasagnaGrower: Upstate Locally Grown Greenville
Price: $0.30 ( Recipe )Available (Estimated): 103
10 ounces lasagna noodles, preferably whole-wheat
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large or 5 medium leeks, pale green and white parts only, thinly sliced and washed thoroughly (about 6 cups)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups nonfat milk
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 2-pound butternut squash, peeled, halved, seeded and grated using the large-hole side of a box grater
6 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated using the large-hole side of a box grater
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (see Tip)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles until not quite al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain; return the noodles to the pot and cover with cool water.
3. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the leeks; stir well. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk in a slow stream and cook, whisking constantly, until thick and bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Whisk in thyme, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Remove from the heat.
4. Assemble lasagna in the prepared baking dish by layering one-third of the noodles, one-third of the sauce, half the squash, one-third of the cheese, half the remaining noodles, half the remaining sauce, all the pine nuts, all the remaining squash, half
the remaining cheese, all the remaining noodles, all the remaining sauce and all the remaining cheese. Cover with parchment paper then foil.
5. Bake the lasagna for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake until bubbling and lightly browned, 30 to 45 minutes more. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving (or follow make-ahead instructions).
Tip: To toast chopped nuts & seeds: Cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
