Pizza Bagels


This old time favorite is the perfect snack for children and adults alike. These simple twists will burst with flavor on your taste buds. I'm a huge fan of Muenster cheese, mostly because of it's smooth texture and mild flavor, but I recommend trying different types of sliced cheeses, as long as they are sliced thin.

Ingredients:

Thinly sliced cheese, preferably Muenster. 3 slices
Bagel, frozen or fresh, sliced in half
Roasted red pepper, sliced into 1" (one inch) strips one centimeter wide. 1/4 cup

Directions:

For frozen bagels, defrost in toaster at 150 - 175 degrees for five to seven minutes.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. For toaster ovens, no preheat is necessary.

Place roasted red pepper slices on both bagel halves so that each half is completely covered.

Break up slices of cheeses into six or more smaller pieces. The smaller the pieces of cheese, the better the melting process.

Layer the cheese on top of the bagel with all three slices of cheese. Make sure to spread the cheese such that it is only covering the bread portion of the bagel. If there is no hole in the middle, or it is small enough to be disregarded, then place the cheese so that it pyramids in the middle.

Place the bagels in the oven, or for toaster ovens, place both halves in toaster oven and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until cheese starts to bubble.

Allow to cool for one minute.

Enjoy.

Gourmet Academy Popcorn

Gourmet Popcorn This recipe boasts as few as five ingredients. All that is required is patience and perfect timing. Follow the instructions as directed. You will be rewarded with popcorn that retains its freshness and texture for the whole length of the movie. I reserve this recipe for movies I know will be worth a long lasting bowl of popcorn a whole group can enjoy without it disappearing before the opening credits. The contrasting ingredients combine to provide a satisfying feeling to be shared in a group. From the tool shed: Brass, stainless steel, or other heavy metal pot with a see through, removable lid.   Thin pots, such as aluminum, conduct heat unevenly and will not work well with this recipe. One stick organic butter Popcorn kernels Grated Parmesan cheese, 4 heaping tablespoons per cup of popcorn Sea Salt Hot Pepper Flakes (alternate: cayenne pepper) Two oven mitts (or something to grab the cover without burning your hands or starting ...

Beef & Tempeh Vegetable Stir Fry

By Chen Dushek
Introduction This is a really great, fast, and easy-to-prepare dish for feeding a small group of children with a delicious and extremely nutritious meal that can keep them energized and nourished throughout the day as a lunch meal or satisfied through the night when offered during dinner time. Personally, I believe it's best to eat small amounts continuously throughout the morning and then eat a well-rounded, large meal at the mid-point between when you wake and sleep. In other words, it would be snacking or mini-breakfasts, then dinner-sized lunch, then later an hour or two before bedtime, a dessert-styled breakfast item, such as an omelette or crepe. To be honest, omelettes are really not a great starter for the day, or eggs in any form for that matter.  Needless to say, your significant other, attending to business matters, depending on you for domestic matters, cheating on your agreed upon diet every chance they get, and not interested in any meals or foods with the...
