softened cream cheese, frozen spinach, thawed and drained, milk, garlic & onion powder, to taste, salt and pepper, to taste, parmesean or romano cheese, to taste, bacon bits, optional, egg, tubes refrigerated crescent rolls, kicked up version, i always buy bags of frozen chopped spinach. you can saute it with the seasonings , and have very little, if any liquid to drain. i like to saute with some onion and red pepper, both chopped fine, as well as a heaping tbsp of minced or chopped garlic. i like this better than the onion and garlic powder, however, those are good options that are quicker. i almost always add a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dash of worcestershire to anything using spinach. i usually add chopped fresh fried bacon instead of bacon bits. just wanted to post the original recipe as given to me by a friend for foodies who prefer the easier methods.

lukewarm water (90of to 100of), dry yeast or two 0.6-oz packages fresh yeast, crumbled, all purpose flour (i use king arthur bread flour), extra-virgin olive oil, coarse sea salt, note: i have found that adding anywhere from 1-2 tsp. of salt (table salt works just fine) to the flour while making the dough works as good or better than the coarse salt on top. it depends on your taste. i would suggest adding 1 tsp. of salt to the flour and maybe lightly adding the coarse salt before baking. or forgo the coarse salt altogether and add 1.5 tsp of salt to the flour for the dough. bread does needs salt to have a good taste., note 2: drizzle with olive oil before baking., note 3: you can knead with a little olive oil to keep from adding more flour and prevent dryness., add herbs of your choice and/or a grated favorite cheese. i have used rosemary, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, cracked black pepper, asiago, and parmesan in various combinations and it all worked out well.

cranberry-walnut chicken salad, adapted quite loosely from gourmet, cubed (1/2 inch) cooked chicken (about 1 3/4 lb) (i like to brine mine first, then poach it in water for 15 to 20 minutes because i am completely neurotic about chicken getting dried out in any way.), walnuts, toasted and chopped, celery rib, diced into small bits (1 cup), more tbsp finely chopped shallot, dried cranberries, mayonnaise, tarragon vinegar , if you have it, or champagne or white wine vinegar works well, too, chopped fresh tarragon or herb or your choice, salt, black pepper

sugar, light corn syrup, water, salted cashews (pieces are fine, and cheaper!), butter, baking soda, you really should have a candy thermometer for this. otherwise, use a cup of ice cold water: when you drop some of the liquid into it and it becomes a spindly piece that cracks, that is the right stage (hardcrack) to stop and spread it out to cool., have ready a flat sheet pan (like an airbake cookie sheet so no lip is in the way) that is greased well, plus a flat spreader or long flat heat resistant spatula
