Cheese Pie Shell

1-2 tbsp ice water

Heat oven to 475 F. Mix flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening thoroughly. Stir in cheese. Sprinkle water gradually over mixture, 1 tbsp at a time, tossing lightly with a fork after each addition (if dough appears dry, a few drops water may be added). Gather dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1″ larger than a 9″ pie pan. Ease into pan; flute edges of dough and prick with fork all over. Bake 8-10 minutes; cool.

Recipe #2 “Cheese on cheese”

This was my signature recipe and coup de grace as the head chef and master of the culinary arts. When I was 3, I use to prepare this for my parents. What you need:

1 slice of American Cheese
Parmesan crumbles.

Directions:
Place the slice of cheese on a microwave unsafe plate, and sprinkle some Parmesan on top. Microwave for about 30 seconds. Once you hear the ding, you’re done!

Recipe #3 - Frosty the Slaw Man Salad

6 envelopes plain gelatin
¼ cup cold water
3 cups Hellman's Real Mayonnaise
3 tsp salt
3 pounds cottage cheese, cream style
12 cups grated or finely chopped cabbageabout 2 medium heads of cabbage

1) Soften gelatin in cold water; stir over hot water till dissolved. Mix with mayonnaise, salt, cottage cheese. Fold in cabbage.
For Head

2) Pack salad into 1 pound cottage cheese carton. Chill in refrigerator until firm.

For Body
3) Back salad into two 6-cup bowls. Chill until firm. (Or use one bowl, turn out when firm and refill the bowl.)

Form Snowman
4) Unmold one bowl on a platter, rounded side down. Top with salad from the second bowl, rounded side up. (Two flat sides meet, forming a ball.) Unmold head; set on the body. May carrot pipe, green or red pepper hat, sliced olive eyes, and buttons, tiny tomato nose, cucumber or carrot stick broom, parsley scarf. Use the remaining salad as a base.

c. meaning cup?

Also do these recipes work irl? I’m not convinced microwaving a microwave unsafe plate is a good idea.

It's better (and cleaner) to use parchment paper in the microwave with cheese.

Recipe #4 - little eggman

1 egg
1 caper
1 sun-dried tomato
1 olive
1 anchovy
1 toothpick

Hard boil the egg (9 minutes in boiling water). Peel the egg, cut the bottom so it's stable and keep it for later, put the toothpick in the top of the egg and put through it the anchovy to make a tie, the sundried tomato as a collar, the olive as the head, the bottom of the egg as a hat and the caper to top it off! You can put some mayo with it or invent the diorama of your choice.

Serious recipe- Bacon Wrapped Pork

1 box of toothpicks
1 large pork tenderloin
1 lb of bacon
Bottle of your favorite bbq sauce
Seasoned by preference, I just use salt.

Directions: Wrap the whole tenderloin in the bacon, using tooth picks to hold in place. Once the wrap is finished, take a brush or spoon and apply a GENEROUS amount of bbq sauce. Pop in the oven on a non stick cookie sheet, or on top of aluminum foil. Cool for 25-35 minutes, reaching an internal temperature of 165. Since bacon can vary in thickness, it is best to check multiple spots to ensure safety.

SECRET STEP: Once you are done cooking, throw BACK in the oven at HIGH BROIL for about 3-5 minutes. This will crisp the bacon and take your entree to the next level!

Once it’s ready to serve, cut in between the toothpicks to make portions, and remove the toothpicks once plated. Don’t forget the sides (mashed potatoes and green beans go perfect) and please enjoy :)

Stay tuned for my recipe for the BEST southern mashed potatoes and green beans ever. :)))
