French Onion Soup



This classically fancy soup is most impressive served in a traditional crock. If you are crockless, any oven proof bowl with a rim that is smaller than your cheese slices is acceptable. In a pinch, cheese slices can be replaced with shredded cheese and broiling can be skipped all together.

Product Recommendations- Arby's Chocolate Turnover

When I want a rich delicious dessert treat while out and about, one of my favorite safe goodies is Arby's Chocolate Turnover. There is no yeast, no leavening, just light flaky puff-pastry and creamy rich chocolate. In fact, I just devoured one before remembering that I intended to take a picture of the next one I got, so I have this stock googled picture.

At just a dollar, it is a wonderful deal and so tasty!


For the record, although Arby's makes two other flavors of turnovers, this is the only one that is yeast free.

Basic Yeast- Free Pizza




The recipe below is the general methodology for plain yeast-free pizza, it is meant to be a base for customization.  This is in NO way low-calorie, but it is great when the craving for pizza overtakes you and you can't take one more pizza delivery commercial without losing your mind. The pizza pictured above was a sausage and bacon with provolone, mozzarella, and Parmigiano-Reggiano.  The toppings are only limited  by your imagination, and your food intolerances.

Since pizzas are such a fun and personal thing, all toppings are estimated for this recipe instead of using specific measurements. Cater it to your tastes.  Just remember, a well covered pizza is good, but adding too many topping can interfere with baking all the way through.

Seafood Pot Pie




The meat in this can be substituted with lobster, or any of your other favorite seafood.  This can also be made with chicken if you don't like seafood! Simply replace the called for seafood with an equal amount of cooked cubed chicken. To make it family style use a large oven proof dish instead of separate bowls and place the four single portions of puff pastry over the top to make serving easier- cooking time may need to be increased.
