cream margeine, add sugar, beat, add eggs beating after each one. add e/thing except coconut and beat low until moistened then at medium. stir in half cup coconut.

afterwards you are meant to frost the layers and stick together and put the other half of the coconut on top of frosting, but I didn't.

it all sounds delicious. can u please post these recipes? thanx

Okay, this is embarrassing, French Salad is just what we call Plain salad in my house. Meaning lettuce, cucumber, tomato, avocado, red onion, pepper dressing with olive oil, lemon juice, salt pepper garlic and parsley.

Tomato Basil Chicken is from KBD Short on Time, Molten Deep Dish CC Cookies from KBD for teens, and not home now so can't write up the recipes for the others, but let me know if you want me to give you the recipes for the cookies and the chicken also.

Oh, have all the recipes on my computer. Here they are

Tomato Basil Chicken

2 Chickens cut into eighths
2 large beefsteak tomatoes cut into large chunks
1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian Dressing (sometimes I just make a cup of my own - mixing Oil, Vinegar and spices)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
4 cloves fresh garlic
5 sun dried tomatoes packed in oil
basil leaves for garnish.

Basically chop tomatoes in food processor and add Italian dressing, basil, garlic and sun dried tomatoes. Pour over chicken and cook at 350, for an hour and half.
Sauce is also good over fish and pasta Smile

Flat bread Salad

Ingredients:
1 bag of lettuce
1 bag of cabbage- I like to use purple to give it some flavor
red onion
grape tomatoes
1 box of flat bread (garlic) crackers

Directions:
Combine all the above

Dressing:
1 tsp. yellow mustard
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp lemon juice
3/4 tsp soy sauce
2 tbl sugar
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup mayo

Roast (from Kosher Palette actually)
1 5 lb French Roast
Marinade
3 onions chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped
1 C Brown Sugar
1 C Ketchup
1 C Water
3/4 C Balsamic Vinegar
2 Teaspoons Soy sauce
2 Teaspoons Apricot Preserves

Combine marinade ingredients in saucepan over medium/high hear. Bring to book, lower flame till sugar dissolves. Pour marinade over roast, Cover and refrigerate 8 hours ( I do it overnight). Bake for 2 hours at 350.

Brisket
Not really a recipe.

First rub brisket with salt, pepper paprika and fresh garlic. Put in a cooking bag roast, with lots of chopped onions and garlic, wine, ketchup, and sugar. add some water, and cook, not even sure how long. It's my mom's recipe and it's delicious! Whenever I make it, I call her and she walks me through the process. How pathetic Smile

Lamb

5-6 lb shoulder of lamb

1/4 cup olive oil ( I use much less)
1 onion
1 ts garlic crushed
1 TB brown sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 TB fresh parsley
6 long sprigs rosemary
1 tb fresh mint
1 tsp ground pepper
Salt to taste

The recipe doesn't say to do this, but I do it anyway and I find it much tastier but I guess if you don't have time/or a food processor than you can skip this step. I blend above ingredients and make a paste.

Rub the paste into the lamb on all sides, marinade overnight (or for a few hours)

Cook @350 for 70 minutes.
Uncover for 60 minutes turning every so often, when brown reduce heat to 325 and roast another 30-45 minutes, can be covered if it is brown enough.

Molten Deep Dish Choc. Chip Cookies.
2 1/4 Cup Flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup marg (or butter really) room temp for 15 min
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups choc chips
1 4 ounce semisweet choc bar (like schmerling noblesse)

1. mix flour, salt, baking soda.
2. mix mar and sugars. add vanilla and eggs.
3. add half the flour mixture- mix
4. add rest of flour. Mix till just combined.
5. add in choc. chips

Take the disposable muffin tins. spray very well with spray. put a ball of dough in each flatten to cover. Put two chocolate squares in the center. Cover with smaller ball of dough, flattening the dough to cover the chocolate.

Bake at 350 in preheated oven. depending on size of tins will take between 20-25 min. tops should be golden brown.

You are all quite something!
I'm in awe.
We only have one day here in EY and on the first day of yuntif at night it's only dh and myself with one kid for lunch so I'm making steak and roast potatoes the first night (one can cook) with salad, and dh asked for something light for lunch, probably pastrama and salads - potato salad, coleslaw, humus, carrot and raisin, edamame, and green salad.. We aren't big eaters. With challah that's fine for lunch.

For shabbos however we will have married kids with us so Friday nite it's salads and roast meat and chicken and roast potatoes and sweet potatoes and shabbos lunch once again the pastrama. It's a a new recipie that I read and made and for homemade pastrama (different than American pastrami which is meat) without chemicals or nitrates. So here's my contribution to the recipie board.

Israeli healthy pastrama:

half a turkey breast. Marinade for 24 hours in:
a cup of honey mixed with smoked paprika, rosemary, regular paprika, cumin and for those who like, black pepper (we don't like it). Massage in the sauce and let sit in fridge.
After 24 hours bake at preheated 420 degree stove for half an hour on each side (total one hour) and then cool. Can be cut like deli, and has no preservatives, nitrates etc. I'm told it can keep for 3 days in the fridge quite well, so I plan to make it wednesday before yuntif, have it for lunch thursday and then again for shabbos.

As for the last day I'm not even thinking about it. As no one is home from shul at the same time and it's a big balagan I think we usually have whatever and never actually eat together. One comes home at noon, one comes home at two and one only at four when mincha is over. But everyone runs home to make kiddush in the middle eat something and go back to shul for more.
