This has been sitting in my email forever and I thought I would post so that if we all lose the recipe there is a copy on the world wide web. For those who aren't a Michaelis and have no idea what this is I will explain. It is pretty much a poor mans dumpling soup that came across the ocean with Ryans family came to America. ENJOY
Ingredients:
3 eggs
¾ cup milk
1 ¾ tsp. salt
Flour
Turkey or Chicken broth
Butter

Note: Use your turkey carcass to get your broth and leave meat from the carcass in the broth to add flavor. You can also use some of the meat and roll up in the dough. Plain broth work also.

Heat the eggs, milk and salt until frosty. Add enough flour so you can handle the dough. Divide into 4 parts and roll onto board (about 5x12 inches); spread with butter. Roll and cut into 1 to 1 ½ inch rolls. Drop into HOT broth and cook for 1 hour.

Moroccan Stewed Chicken

A friend of mine found this recipe in a Men's health magazine. It was quick and easy and pretty good for you.

1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (we used breast tenders cut in half and it worked)

1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
1/2 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chicken stock or water
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 Heat the oil in a large saute pan or a wide pot over medium high heat. Season the Chicken with salt and pepper, place them in the pan, and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the brown thoroughly. Add the Zucchini and continue cooking, stirring occasionally.

2 When the zucchini pieces have browned lightly, add the Garbanzo beans, tomatoes, chicken stock, cayenne, cumin and cinnamon. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Season to taste with more salt and pepper and garnish with chopped cilantro. Makes 4 servings

Eat with 1/2 cooked couscous (prepared per package instructions) tossed with 2 Tbsp golden raisins, 2 Tbsp toasted pine nuts and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
(We put it over brown rice and it tasted great)

Kirstys Awesome Nachos

5 cups of nacho chips
1/2 16 oz. can of refried beans
1 lb hamburger
1 pkg taco seasoning
1/2 16oz. jar of Pace chunky salsa
cheese...lots and lot of cheese
you can add...jalapenos, sour cream, olives, chili's

Heat oven to 350. Brown the hamburger, drain fat, and then add the taco seasoning according to its directions (like your making tacos)
Once the seasoning is absorbed add salsa and refried beans. You can add more or less of either depending to what you want. Put 2 1/2 cups of nachos on a pan and then add half of the meat mixture. After putting on the meat mixture put anything extra you like and then add as much cheese as you want on top of that. Put in oven and let cook until cheese is melted (about 5 min). Take out of oven.
Add 2nd half of nacho chips and the rest of the meat mixture. Again cover with as much cheese as desired along with your personal extras and cook until cheese is melted. Take out and let cool for a couple minutes then EAT!!!! Depending on how much you make this can either be a meal, a side dish, or a snack. It does hold for very long and doesn't taste as good the next day but what good nachos do???

One Hour Cinnamon Rolls

Mix and let rise for 15 minutes

3 1/2 cups warm water
6 Tbs yeast
1 Tbs salt
1 cup oil
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
5 cups flour

Once done rising mix well. Add 5 1/2 more cups of flour. Mix until all flour is well blended. Beat additional 5 minutes. Spray counter top with Pam or lightly oil with shortening. (I found this didn't work as well as flouring the counter top). Turn out dough. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick, spread with butter, cinnamon and sugar. Roll from long side of roll of dough to make rolls. Cut and put on baking sheet. Raise 10-20 minutes. Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly brown.

Additional roll ideas.
Sugar Bears: Use brown sugar with cinnamon
Cherries 'n cream: Cream cheese and cherry pie filling(or any pie filling)
Orange: Orange juice thickened to paste with flour.
Hawaiian: Crushed pineapple and coconut thickened with flour.
Rocky Road: Chocolate shavings, marshmallows and nuts
Christmas buns: Spread with butter, sprinkle crushed candy canes also mix in frosting
Mexican: Refried beans and meat. After baking sprinkle with cheese, olives and salsa. Return to oven long enough to melt cheese
Twists. Cut 1"x4" strips of dough and twist around 1/2"x4" strip of ham. Top with cheese after baking and melt in oven.

This recipe makes a lot. A friend suggested making the whole recipe and using half for a dinner option and the rest for desert.
I have done both the rocky road and Mexican buns. Both with wonderful.

Cranberry-white chocolate cookies

These are really additive cookies.

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/2 butter softened
1 1/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 (6oz) package sweetened dried cranberries

Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; set aside

Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition.

Add flour mixture to butter mixture gradually, beating at low speed until blended. Stir in white chocolate morsels and cranberries.

Drop cookie dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

I only used half of the chocolate and cranberries and it was plenty. It makes about 3 dozen.
