Pine Nut & Chicken Pasta
4 oz. fusilli pasta or spiral pasta
2 to 3 tbsp. vegetable oil or olive oil
1/2 lb. boneless chicken breasts, skinned and cut into bite-sized strips
1 1/2 cups thinly slivered red and green bell pepper
2 green onions, minced
2 tsp. minced Frieda's Fresh Ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup Frieda's Pine Nuts
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. lemon or lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook pasta according to package directions.
In another skillet or wok, heat oil; sauté chicken with bell pepper and onions 3 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, and pine nuts; sauté 3 minutes more or until nuts are golden. Add soy and lemon or lime juice. Remove from heat.
Drain pasta well; do not rinse. Place pasta in large bowl. Pour chicken mixture over pasta; add salt and pepper to taste. Toss well to coat with mixture. Serve at once. Makes 2 to 3 main-dish servings.
Okay, this was delicious. I didn't use as much onion or peppers as I should have, but lots and lots of veggies would be great here.

Cookies ala Bizarro
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup honey
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup grated zucchini
1/2 cup raisins
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, vanilla, and honey. Beat in the egg until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; stir into the honey mixture. Stir in the rolled oats, zucchini, pecans and raisins. Drop by teaspoonfuls on greased cookie sheet, and flatten slightly using a fork.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on a wire rack.
No pecans, no raisins. Used more sugar, and some caramel sauce as well as maple extract. Threw in chocolate chips. Mom and Dad didn't like them- they're very moist and dense. Maybe another egg would help? But I liked them, as did work people.
