Everything Parmesan Crisps

 Everything Parmesan Crisps


Everything Parmesan Crisps are a great addition to a Caesar Salad or really any salad or soup to add a bit of crunch. 


1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, Freshly Grated

3/4 tsp Sesame Seeds

3/4 tsp Onion Flakes, Minced, Dried

3/4 tsp Garlic Flakes, Minced, Dried 

3/4 tsp Poppy Seeds


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.


Pour 2 tbsp of grated cheese onto a silicone lined baking sheet. Lightly pat down with your fingers to make about a 4” round. 


Repeat 3 more times with remaining cheese, leaving 1/2 inch space between each circle. 


Bake in preheated oven for 3 minutes. 


Combine the sesame seeds, garlic flakes, onion flakes and poppy seeds in a small bowl. 


Top each circle with 3/4 tsp of the mix and return to oven baking approximately 3 more minutes until golden and crisp.


Remove from oven and cool before eating.  


Raisin Pie

Raisin Pie


2 cups Raisins

2 cups Water

1/2 cup Sugar

2 tbsp Cornstarch

Water to make a paste

1 tbsp Lemon Juice

9” Pie Shell, Unbaked


Bring raisins, water and sugar to boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer.  


Make a runny paste of the cornstarch and water. Add slowly and cook until thick. Add lemon juice and stir to combine. 


Pour into an unbaked pie shell and bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. 


Note:  If using a 9” frozen pie crust, it’s not really 9”, so reduce the raisins and water to 1/2 cups and only bake for 25 minutes. You could potentially reduce that more.
