Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Add flour; mix on low speed just until blended, scraping down sides as necessary. (Dough will be soft; do not refrigerate.)

2. Fit Cookie Press with desired disk (see Cook's Tip); fill with dough. Press dough onto Cookie Sheet 1 in. (2.5 cm) apart. Decorate cookies with colored sugar or sprinkles, if desired. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool cookies 2 minutes on Cookie Sheet; remove to cooling rack. Repeat with remaining dough.

My little Helper!

If you think good old whoopie pies just can't be improved upon, just wait until you try these: pumpkin cookies filled with fluffy cream cheese frosting. They're guaranteed to be a popular new addition to your standard Thanksgiving dessert offerings. They are so good! Janet and I spent the morning making this yummy dessert for our Thanksgiving Day Celebration!

PUMPKIN COOKIES
2 eggs
2 cups light brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

FILLING/CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 to 5 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions:
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat the eggs, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, pumpkin spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture a half cup at a time, blending each time until smooth.
Drop a heaping tablespoon of batter onto an ungreased cookie sheet, using a moist finger or the back of a spoon to slightly flatten each mound. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, make the frosting. Beat together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in the confectioners' sugar a half cup at a time, until the frosting is spreadable.
To assemble the pies, turn half of the cookies bottom side up and spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting on each one. Top them with the remaining cookies (turned right side up). Makes 10 to 14 Pilgrim Pies.

Culinary Circle

This morning we had our Director of Culinary Services Sheila, and Kathy came and do a food presentation for us. She showed the clients how to make Eggplant Lasagna with no salt being that we all need to watch our salt intake, we were all kind of hesitate at first thinking WHAT NO SALT?! There is no way that this can be good and on my goodness it was the best thing we had ever tasted! I would definitely make it for my family. It was a very easy dish to put together. Everyone should try it! We all had a great time learning how to make it, Thanks again Sheila and Kathy!

Eggplant Lasagna

Serves 6; 4x4-inch piece per serving
If you can, prepare this hearty lasagna a day ahead. Its flavors will be enhanced, plus all you'll need to do for dinner is toss a salad and make a quick fruit dessert while the casserole bakes.
Ingredients
Vegetable oil spray
6 dried lasagna noodles
3 cups chopped peeled eggplant
1 medium green bell pepper diced
1 large onion chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves or 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried crumbled
3 medium garlic cloves minced
2 8-ounce cans no-salt-added tomato sauce
2 teaspoons low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional)
1 cup fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons shredded or grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 12x8x2-inch glass baking dish with vegetable oil spray. Set aside.
In a large stockpot, prepare the noodles using the package directions, omitting the salt and oil. Drain well.
Meanwhile, lightly spray a large nonstick skillet with vegetable oil spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Cook the eggplant, bell pepper, onion, dried basil (if using fresh basil, add with the tomato sauce), and garlic for 10 minutes, or until the eggplant is soft, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium if the mixture starts sticking to the skillet.
Add the tomato sauce, fresh basil if using, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and fennel seeds. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened and the bell pepper is soft. Remove from the heat.
To assemble, lay 2 noodles lengthwise in the baking dish. Spread a scant 1 cup eggplant mixture over the noodles. Spread 1/3 cup cottage cheese over the eggplant. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup mozzarella. Repeat the layers twice, ending with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Tuck in the ends of the noodles if overhanging. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to let the cheese melt and make cutting easier.
Cook's Tip
When using fairly small amounts of cheese on top of a casserole, cover the dish with aluminum foil during the baking period to prevent the cheese from overcooking and drying out. Run the casserole under the broiler for a few seconds if you want to brown the cheese lightly.

Autumn Joys!

This fun little poem below was the insirparation for our fun craft project. I had gone out in the morning to the park across the street (Mounds Park) to gather all diffrent sizes and shapes of leaves. Each person had watercolor paint, paper and a pile of leaves. They painted the leaves and pressed them on to watercolor paper. After we enjoyed some wonderful warm apple cider, donuts and some good reminiscing.

Autumn Joys

By Mabel Duch

Yellow leaves, golden leaves,
Red and orange and brown.
I love to see the colored leaves
Before they tumble down.

And when they’ve fluttered through the air,
Lie upon the ground,
I like to scuff then with my feet
And hear the rustling sound.

I like the smell of cider
Warming on the stove,
Apple odor mingled
With cinnamon and clove.

I like the tastes of autumn,
New apples tart or sweet,
And slowly roasted chestnuts.
These things are fun to eat.

I like the feel of autumn wind,
A cool and gentle breeze,
Softly blowing on my face;
Then dancing with the leaves.

The special joys of autumn,
I’d like to keep them here.
Though they must go, I’m glad to know
They’ll come again next year.

National Food Bank Week!

Last week was National Food Bank week. We made signs and attached them to boxes and placed them in different locations around the Marian of Saint Paul Campus.
