Here are 3 things you might want to try. They're not to difficult and quite tasty. Enjoy
Savory Feta Pies
Prep Time: 25 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 Minutes Ready In: 50 Minutes
Yields: 4 servings
';Pie pastry circles filled with feta cheese and a seasoned ground beef mixture for a wedding of savory sensations that is then baked to a golden finish. I make this when company comes over, and they all rave about it. It's the feta cheese that gives it a gourmet flavor, and the crust comes out very flakey and buttery. Marinated beef cuts also work well.';
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, sliced
1 pound lean ground beef
1 small tomato, diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
1 cup feta cheese
2 (9 inch) frozen pie crusts, thawed
DIRECTIONS:
1 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute onion until soft, about 2 minutes. Add beef and brown slightly; drain excess fat. Stir in tomato, garlic powder, coriander, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper and cook until meat is evenly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
3 Remove one pie crust from pan and roll out on a lightly floured surface. Cut pastry into four 6 inch circles; place circles on lined cookie sheet and lightly brush with egg beat. Place 1/4 cup of feta cheese onto each circle and top with some beef mixture, leaving enough room to seal dough 'pockets'.
4 Remove second pie crust from pan and roll out on lightly floured surface. Cut pastry into four 6 inch circles, as with first pie crust. Brush one side of each circle with egg beat and place, egg-side-down, on top of prepared pie circles. Pinch crusts together to seal around the edges. Use dough scraps to fill any holes or tears in the pie 'pockets'. Brush tops with egg beat and make a small slit in the top of each pie (to allow steam to escape).
5 Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.

RISOTTO
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
2 cloves of garlic
½ an onion
100g (¼ of a 400g tin) of plum tomatoes*
1 tablespoon of olive oil
250g of minced beef, chopped chicken, prawns, mushrooms or frozen mixed vegetables
125g (125ml by volume) of arboreo rice**
1 tablespoon of dried mixed herbs
1 beef, chicken or vegetable stock cube***
250ml of water
METHOD
Peel the garlic and chop it into tiny pieces. Peel the onion, cut it in half, chop one half into tiny pieces and save the other half.
Open the tin of tomatoes. Put the juice into a bowl. Chop the tomatoes while they are still in the can (it’s easier than chasing them around the bowl). Put the chopped tomatoes into the bowl. Use 100g and save the other 300g.
Put the oil into a frying pan on a medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir frequently to stop it sticking. Add the mince, chicken, prawns, mushrooms or vegetables. Fry for another 3 to 4 minutes, until any meat is an even colour, with no pink bits.
Add the rice and fry for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the herbs and tomatoes. Crumble the stock cube into the water and pour it into the pan. Mix thoroughly.
Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat until it is just boiling (simmering). Continue to cook, stirring as the mixture boils, for another 20 to 25 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked. If it looks like it is getting dry, add some more water and stir.
ADDITIONS %26amp; ALTERNATIVES
Substitute 125ml of white wine for 125ml of the water.
TIPS
This dish needs an eye keeping on it all the time to make sure that it cooks properly but stays moist.
* Plum tomatoes can be used either whole or chopped. It is difficult to stick chopped tomatoes back together again if you need to use them whole.
** It might just say “Risotto Rice” on the packet.
*** If using prawns, use either a chicken or vegetable stock cube.

Wild salmon satay w. asian style pesto
INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons ginger, peeled and minced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1/2 jalapeño chile, seeded and coarsely chopped
3/4 cup lightly packed cilantro
1/4 cup lightly packed mint
1/4 cup lightly packed flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons minced fresh lemongrass (optional)
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon grapeseed or canola oil
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons grapeseed or canola oil
1 tablespoon minced onion
3/4 cup brown rice
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (1 1/4-pound) skinless center-cut wild salmon fillet
Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 teaspoons black or white sesame seeds, toasted
4 sprigs each mint, cilantro, and flat-leaf parsley
To make pesto, combine all ingredients in a small food processor or blender; blend until smooth.
To make rice and satay, heat oil over medium flame in a small saucepan. Add onion; sauté until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in rice. Pour in chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, lay salmon fillet on a cutting surface with a short end facing you. Cut fillet in half from top to bottom. Make 6 equal cuts across fillet, creating 12 pieces. Insert an 8-inch bamboo (or other wooden) skewer through the short ends of each piece. Arrange salmon in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush both sides evenly with pesto. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.
Remove rice from heat; let stand 10 minutes. Spray a nonstick griddle or large skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high flame. Lightly coat salmon with cooking spray. Cook until browned on each side and just cooked through, carefully turning with spatula, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
To serve, spray four 4-ounce ramekins with cooking spray. Divide rice into ramekins, pressing lightly with spoon. Invert ramekins onto warm plates to loosen rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Lay salmon skewers over rice; garnish with herb sprigs.

Gingersnaps w orange-ginger cream filling
INGREDIENTS
Cookies:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. salt
12 Tbsp. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 large egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Filling:
1/4 cup (4 ounces) cream cheese
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. grated orange zest
1 tsp. orange juice
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar, plus more as needed
To make cookies: In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add molasses, egg, and vanilla, and beat at medium-high until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture and mix until well combined. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
Preheat oven to 350°. Place remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar to coat. Arrange about 2 inches apart on 2 ungreased baking sheets. Using the bottom of a glass that has been lightly greased, then dipped in sugar, flatten dough into 1/4-inch-thick disks. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, or until firm. Remove from oven and immediately transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
To make filling: In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients; mix until smooth, adding more powdered sugar as needed (filling should have consistency of very thick frosting). With a small spatula, frost bottoms of half the cookies (about 1teaspoon filling each); top with remaining cookies (so bottom sides are together) to make sandwich cookies.
