Book Contributors:Thank you for contributing to the book. You may receive an FM with a pdf file of a page from the book. This page (or pages) will contain your recipe(s). Please proof them and make sure that in the reformatting of the recipe I did not mess it up.
A special thank you to TomLaur0808 who has agreed to be the editor and proof the book.

Re: The 09er's Official Newlyweds Cookbook - If you want your recipe in the cookbook it has to be on THIS thread.
Ingredients:
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 3 and ¾ cups all purpose flour 1 cup almond flour or very finely ground almonds 1 and ½ cup blackberry preserves (I also just use whatever it takes to cover the dish you're cooking it in) ½ cup chopped almonds
**last time I made it I put that much sugar in it, but it was too sweet. Not sure if it was the jam or there really was just too much sugar. So you may want to put 3/4 cup of each instead, or taste to your liking.
Directions:
If you don’t have almond flour on hand, you can make it like I did by grinding up 1 cup of almonds in your food processor until they are finely ground. It’s going to be combined with the flour so texture-wise, you want to get it as finely ground as possible.
Combine the butter and sugars in a large bowl. Using an electric mixture set at medium low speed, beat it until creamy. Add the vanilla and salt and beat until combined.
Combine almond flour (or ground almonds) with the flour. Mix well. Combine the dry mixture into the butter mixture on low speed, until a smooth, soft dough forms. Spray a 9 by 13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and press 1/3 of the dough evenly into the pan to form a bottom crust. Wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold and firm, at least 30 minutes. (You can also put yours in the freezer, but make sure to thaw it properly in the fridge before baking.)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bake the bottom crust until it is firm and just beginning to turn pale brown around the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and spread the preserves evenly over the crust. Crumble the remaining shortbread dough over the jam to form a pebbly, crumbled topping. Sprinkle with the chopped almonds.
Return pan to the oven and continue baking until topping is firm and crisp and lightly golden in color, about 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
Use a sharp knife to cut bars evenly into 15 large squares. Remove the bars from the pan with a metal spatula and if desired, cut in half on the diagonal to form 30 smaller triangular bars. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve.
The bars will keep, covered tightly, for about 1 week at room temperature, or in the freezer for up to one month.
This is seriously the best dessert you will ever have in your life, it's from one of my cookbooks, but this needs to be on here, it's that good!

Turkey Chili
Feeds 8
2 large onions 2 green peppers 1 whole head of Garlic Paprika Chili Powder Onion Powder Garlic Powder Cumin Brown Sugar Oregano 3lbs of Ground Turkey Olive oil 3 cans of kidney beans 1 can of Tomato Paste 1 can of Crushed Tomato
Mince and sauté the onion, peppers and garlic in the olive oil until they are soft. Then add the rest of the ingredients. I don’t give exact measurements because it will all depend on your tastes. I basically added a bit at a time during the 2 hours of cooking time tasting as I went and adding more of the spices. I add the beans at the last 30 minutes of cooking so that they are not too soft since they are cooked already.
Everyone really liked the chili and we had it over pasta. This a mild recipe to kick up the spice add red chili flakes and Tabasco.

Stuffed Pork Chops
Serves 4
4 Center cut Thick pork Chops Sliced Mozzarella Ham Apples Salt & pepper
This recipe is sooo simple but it was delicious.
Make a slit in the pork chop and put a piece of small piece of mozzarella, ham and thin slices of apple (I used gala but any firm apple would do). Then you take tooth picks and you close up the slit because the mozzarella will come out as you cook. Salt and pepper each side of the chops before you put it on the grill. I use a cast iron grill for about 5 min on each side to sear the meat. Then you put it in the oven on 350 for about 30 minutes or until the juices run clear. Let the meat cool so you can remove the tooth picks and serve. The chops were sooo juicy and the family raved.

Re: The 09er's Official Newlyweds Cookbook - If you want your recipe in the cookbook it has to be on THIS thread.
Yay I have quite a few yummy ones I can share now!!!!
These are our summer stand-bys...perfect for BBQ, but can be done indoors as well.
Chicken Souvlaki
Recipe: -Make a marinade consisting of: -1/4 cup olive oil -1/4 cup lemon juice -2 tsp. oregano -2 tsp. garlic powder -1.5 tsp. salt -1 tsp black pepper -touch of paprika -little bit of honey
-Cut 2 chicken breasts into chunks, and place into a bowl with the marinade. Leave in fridge for at least an hour and a half. Place onto skewers and BBQ.
-Serve with Tzaziki sauce or Greek yogurt.
Bifteki (Greek Hamburger, served Bun-less)
2 lbs ground sirloin 1+ tablespoon oregano 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon paprika 1 egg 1 cup breadcrumbs juice from 2 lemons 1 large grated onion
Mix all the above ingredients together, and form into little burgers. Grill over charcoal as you would any burger.
Chick Pea Salad
Chick Peas Oil Oil Lemon Juice Oregano Chopped Onion Garlic Powder Mix above ingredients, to taste
Now this last one is SUPER ambitious, and SUPER unhealthy, but sooooooooooooooo good!
Pastitio (Greek Meat and Pasta Dish- Prep time and cook time- Don't even bother unless you have 4 hours and 2 people to devote to it!)
Pastitsio Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs long tube macaroni (percitelli) 1 cup butter or oil 2 eggs, seperated 1 3/4 lbs chopped meat 1 medium onion, chopped 1/2 cup white wine 1 tablespoon tomato paste, diluted with 1 cup water salt and pepper to taste parmesan cheese cinnamon 1 cup bread crumbs
Bechamel Ingredients:
8 tablespoons butter 10-12 tablespoons flour 1-2 egg yolks 4 cups milk, scalded (low to medium heat just before boiling) salt and pepper to taste
Recipe:
Parboil the macaroni in salted water for 6 minutes, drain. Brown half of the butter and pour over the macaroni. Beat the egg whites (reserve the yolks for the bechamel) and add to the macaroni. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Brown the remaining butter (but keep 2 tablespoons aside to use later) with the chopped meat and onion. Add the wine, diluted tomato paste, salt, pepper, and cinnamon, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, add half of the remaining cheese and half of the bread crumbs. Mix well.
Prepare the bechamel***. Butter a pan and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Spread half of the macaroni evenly in it, and cover with the chopped meat. Add the remaining macaroni. Pour the bechamel over the top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, then with the rest of the breadcrumbs. Drizzle the remaining melted butter on top. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
***Bechamel recipe
Melt the butter and add the flour slowly to it, blending thoroughly. Remove from heat and slowly add the milk, mixing constantly. Return to the heat. Stir until the mixture thickens. Beat the egg yolks well, add the salt and pepper, stirring all the while until well blended. If you do not serve the sauce right away, stir occasionally to prevent a crust from forming.

Re: The 09er's Official Newlyweds Cookbook - If you want your recipe in the cookbook it has to be on THIS thread.
I made this appetizer for Thanksgiving thanks to a suggestion from my sister. We sort of made it up together based on an app from a restaurant she used to work at. It's super easy and nice and light.
Asparagus Feta Phyllo Cups
2 boxes of frozen phyllo cups 1 bunch of asparagus fresh squeezed lemon juice crumblaed feta olive oil salt and pepper
1. Place the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toss lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 450 for 12-15 minutes.
2. Bake phyllo cups according to package directions. About 3 minutes at 350 degrees.
3. Cut the asparagus into half to one inch long pieces. Squeeze lemon juice over the asparagus.
4. Place a few pieces of asparagus and a small spoon of feta into each cup. Serve!
My in laws raved about these and have been asking for the recipe. It's probably good warm but I served it room temperature. A great thing to bring to friends or relatives since it doesn't require reheating.

Very simple sugar cookies / cake
This recipe can be used to make simple cookies or as a cake batter. It comes out very wet, so putting it in a ziploc bag to pipe them onto the cookie sheet might be most convenient. You could also roll it out between two pieces of wax paper or saran wrap and then use a pizza cutter to make even pieces if you like a thinner cookie. Do not overcook!
Ingredients: (I halved the original recipe I saw when I made it, which still yielded 2 dozen cookies) -- this is the half recipe:
1/2 c. margarine 1/2 c. white sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 c. all purpose flour 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt
cream margarine, sugar, and eggs (can be done by hand) stir in vanilla, flour, baking soda, and salt place on parchment paper on cookie sheets and bake for 8 minutes at 375.
The best thing about this recipe is that it's ingredients you probably have in your house! So simple!
I stuck a hershey kiss in a few of them immediately upon taking out of the oven -- it's a great option for those who don't like peanut butter cookies.

Greek Chicken Pasta.. simple and delicious!

Re: The 09er's Official Newlyweds Cookbook - If you want your recipe in the cookbook it has to be on THIS thread.
I made this last night and it was sooo good:
Loaded Mashed Potatoes
5 lbs potatoes 3/4 container of sour cream 6 strips of bacon 4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese 5 clove of garlic 6 stalks of scallions 1/2 cup of milk Salt & Pepper to taste
Cook the potatoes until tender. Cook the bacon until crispy then chop into bits. Mince the garlic and chop the scallions...we cooked the scallions and garlic slightly in some of the bacon fat. Then you combine all the ingredients. It was really good...you can adjust all the seasonings to your taste.
I was thinking with the leftovers you can bake it with some extra cheese on top, YUMMY!!!!
