Tomato, Onion & Herb Rolls with Sage Leaves
Hi everybody :)
While going though my cookbook collection, I came across this recipe, when I saw that it was made with canned tomatoes I was intrigued, so I had to give it a try. Instead of using water, or milk the yeast is mixed with puree tomatoes and topped with fresh sage leaves before baking! "How interesting", I thought, "sounds delicious too." Let's get it started...
Tomato, Onion & Herb Bread Dough adapted The Woman 's Day Cookbook: Great Recipes, Bright Ideas, And Healthy Choices for Today's Cook
Makes 2 loaves
Preparation time: 30 minutes plus 3 hours to rise
Baking time: 40 minutes
1 can (about 16 ounces) whole tomatoes, undrained
2 envelopes (1/2 ounce each) active dry yeast
5 teaspoons granulated sugar
6 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons Italian herb seasoning
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, at room temperature
White of 1 large egg
2 teaspoons water
For decoration: fresh sage leaves (optional)
1. Puree the undrained tomatoes in a blender or a food processor.
Pour into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until warm (105°F to 115°F). Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the yeast and the sugar.
Let stand for about 10 minutes, or until foamy. {Look spooky, doesn't it :) }
2. In a large bowl, mix the 6 cups of flour, the onion, Italian seasoning, salt, celery seeds, and pepper.
Stir in the tomato mixture and the butter, mixing until the flour is evenly moistened
(the mixture will be in coarse shreds). Squeeze the shreds together to form a ball.
3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, knead the dough for 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
4. Clean the bowl and oil it lightly. Put the dough into the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft free place for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until doubled in volume.
Tomato Herb Rolls
Follow the recipe through step 4.
Punch down the dough, divide it into 24 equal pieces, (I only made 12 rolls.) and shape Into balls. Plan about 3 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Brush with the egg white and
decorate each with a small sage leaf If desired.
(I put some of the dough in a cleaned and sprayed tomato can)
Loosely cover with greased plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise for about 40 minutes, or just until doubled in volume.
Bake at 375 F for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls begin to brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
To Make Ahead:
Prepare the dough and let rise once as directed. Punch down the dough, place in an airtight plastic bag, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator. Proceed with the recipe from dividing the dough in step 5.
To Make Loaves:
Follow the recipe through step 4.
Lightly grease a baking sheet. Punch down the dough and divide in half. Shape each half into a round loaf. Place the loaves 5 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, beat the egg white and water together with a folk. Brush the egg white mixture over the loaves. Dip the sage leaves in the egg white mixture and arrange decoratively on the loaves.
Loosely cover the loaves with greased plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for no more than 1 hour, or just until doubled in volume. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 375°E
Remove the plastic wrap and bake the loaves for 35 to 40 minutes, or until they pound hollow when the bottom is tapped. Transfer the loaves to a wire rack and cool completely.
What I Did and/or Think:
I follow the directions for making rolls, but I only made 12 BIG rolls.
The Taste: These were absolutely Wonderful!! Soft texture, great flavor, just wonderful. They smelled amazing while cooking too. The recipe stated that the seasonings give it a fragrance reminscent of Mediterranean foods.
I think they would be great served with soups or to make sandwiches. I also think the dough would make an fantastic pizza dough. The recipe is definitely a REPEAT!
ENJOY! Come again

Fudge Pudding Cake with Ice Cream: Pink Ribbon Recipe
Hi everybody :)
The mere word 'Fudge' lured me to this recipe, then I saw the picture! WOW! Cake and ice cream, what a double treat! This fantastic REPEAT bakes up with two layers a pudding on the bottom and a cake on top! A word of caution: make sure to use a tall pan when making the cake or your pudding layer will overflow. I LOVE this fudgey pudding cake, it taste like a brownie.
This recipe may be a good choice for cancer patients because it's great for nausea and mouth sores, two of the most common side effects of cancer treatments. The doctor advises dessert can be an important part of a meal because it often provides plenty of calories per bite.
This is the last of my Pink Ribbon Recipes for Breast Cancer Awareness Month for now, but the fight of breast cancer survivors continue. This is all of our fight too, so stay strong, be healthy, get your mammogram ...please.

Easy Cheesy Broccoli Bake: Pink Ribbon Recipe
Hi everybody :)
Continuing with my Pink Ribbon Recipe, I pick this recipes to share because I LOVE broccoli. It's one of my favorite vegetables.
This recipe may be a good choice for cancer patients because it's great for nausea, one of the side effects of cancer treatment. Broccoli is a great source of folic acid, which aid in normal body functions. But as I stated here the doctor warns
excessive folic acid can interfere with the effectiveness of a
chemotherapy called methotrexate, so please check with the doctor first, if you're on a special diet.

1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken or cream of celery soup
1 jar (8 oz) process cheese sauce
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 cup uncooked instant rice (I used Minute Instant Whole Grain Brown Rice)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon pepper (I used 1 teaspoon Mrs Dash Onion & Herb Seasoning)
(I added 2 tablespoon butter)
Heat oven to 350F Spray 3-quart casserole with cooking spray Mix all ingredients in casserole.
Cover; bake 50 to 55 minutes or until rice is tender.
High in calcium, folic acid and Vitamins A and C; good source of fiber
