The Kamikaze Cook #39 Another Marinated Vegetable!

You may have seen the recipe below for the North Woods Inn marinated red cabbage recipe (under #27). Well, I wanted something tangy and crunchy one day but I was out of cabbage, so I decided to use carrots instead and it works just as well. The carrots are great in vegan/vegetarian dishes, on salads or just by themselves!

The Kamikaze Cook #38 Feta, Katamala Olive Biscuits

I don't know about you, but I love feta and katamala olives together. Must be the Greek pizza in the frozen section of Trader Joe's...I digress.

Since I had those two items (thank you 99cents only store) I decided to create a new item. I don't mean to pat myself on the back, but hell, these were good!

Use your favorite, easy, biscuit recipe. Add diced katamala olives, crumbles of feta cheese and parmesan cheese. Roll biscuits out onto board with parm cheese on it instead of flour. Bake as you normally would.

Mine didn't turn out quite as fluffy as I'd hoped- could be I didn't use enough baking powder, or that I'm just kinda crummy at making bread items. I vote the latter. However, I opened these suckers up and smeared "almost butter" (that's Land O'Lakes margarine) on them and they were awesome. Try it and see for yourself!

The Kamikaze Cook #37 White Gingerbread Toast

I found a simple "white" (no molasses) gingerbread online. It turned out well, but I wanted to spruce it up, so I sliced it, toasted it in the broiler and smothered it with cream cheese. Yuuuuuuum!

Recipe:

2c flour
1c sugar
1/2c butter
1/2t ginger
1t cinnamon
1/4t nutmeg
1/2t baking soda WITH 3/4c sour milk (I used regular)
1egg, beaten
1t baking powder

Mix flour, sugar and butter together until crumbly. Reserve 1c. Add rest of ingredients. Pour 1/2 crumbs onto bottom of 9x13 pan (greased). Pour batter onto crumbs then pour rest of crumbs onto top. Bake 350 for 45 min. or until brown and toothpick comes out clean.
