* 1/2 cup milk
* 3 tablespoons shredded Swiss cheese
* 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
* 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
* 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese

In a good-size skillet heat 1 -2 T of olive oil, saute the cabbage, carrot and onions until for 5-7 minutes or until they are crisp, yet tender. Pour into a shallow 1-qt. baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cover with shredded swiss cheese.

Garlic Parmesan Swirl Biscuits

                                                             

  The wonderful flavors of garlic and parmesan mingle together in heavenly flaky biscuits creating the perfect accompaniment to any Italian meal.

Flaky Biscuits:
2 c. flour
1 T. Baking Powder
1 tsp salt
1 T. Sugar
1/4 c. Shortening
3/4 c. Milk

"Filling"
1 T. Minced Garlic (or 3 cloves finely minced)
1 T. Fresh Chopped Parsley (or 1 tsp Dried)
1/3 c. melted butter
1/3 c. Parmesan cheese, grated

In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in shortening, add milk until it forms a soft dough. Do not overmix or the biscuits will be tough.

Roll the dough on a floured surface. In a small bowl mix butter, garlic & parsley. Spread the mix over the dough (the back of a spoon works great!), sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese.

Roll lengthwise into a log and slice in 1" pieces. Place them on an un-greased cookie sheet, sides touching slightly. Bake at 425F for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.

These can be made with bisquick mix to make them easier, or you can make your own Quick mix

Perfect Sesame Chicken

Rated: Submitted By: Doreen P Photo By: 5boys2cook4 Prep Time: 35 Minutes Cook Time: 20 Minutes Ready In: 1 Hour 15 Minutes Servings: 6

"If you want the perfect sesame chicken recipe this is it! You may want to increase the vinegar or lower the amount of sugar. It all depends on how sweet you want the sauce."

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon dry sherry 2 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 1 dash sesame oil 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cubed

1 cup chicken broth 1 cup white sugar 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1 teaspoon chile paste 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/2 cup water 1 quart olive oil for frying 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions:

1.	Sift flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl. Pour in low-sodium soy sauce, sherry, 2 tablespoons water, vegetable oil, and a dash of sesame oil; stir until smooth. Stir in chicken until coated with the batter, then cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
2.	Meanwhile, bring chicken broth, sugar, vinegar, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, chile paste, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Dissolve 1/4 cup cornstarch into 1/2 cup of water, and stir into boiling sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens and turns clear, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and keep sauce warm.
3.	Heat olive oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4.	Drop in the battered chicken pieces, a few at a time, and fry until they turn golden brown and float to the top of the oil, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. To serve, place fried chicken pieces onto a serving platter, and pour the hot sauce overtop. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to garnish.
