Ice Cream Bread

Prep: 5 min., Bake: 45 min.

This two-ingredient bread is terrific any time of day. Pop it in the oven while you're preparing supper, or serve it for afternoon tea. If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, toast a few slices for breakfast and serve with butter and jam.

1 pint (2 cups) ice cream, softened
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour

Stir together ice cream and flour, stirring just until flour is moistened. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 8x4 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of bread comes out clean. Remove from pan, and cool on a wire rack.

Note: Batter may also be divided evenly between 2 greased and floured 5x3 inch loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of bread comes out clean.

Yield: Makes 1 (8-inch) loaf

Vegetarian Pastichio

Pastichio is a type of Greek Lasagna that my husband's family serves for special occasions. Since we are vegetarians, I make a meatless variety. This recipe includes dairy products, but can easily be made with vegan substitutes and would be just as yummy. This is a quick and easy twist on lasagna, and the kids love it!

Greek Bechamel Sauce:
1 lb elbow macaroni, or ziti
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 eggs
3 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup grated parmesano reggiano cheese
1/2 small chopped onion (or use minced onion, as desired)
salt, pepper, and minced garlic to taste

Faux Meat Mixture:
1/2 chopped onion (or use minced onion, as desired)
1 12oz package of Yves veggie ground (or other vegan crumbles)
6 oz tomato sauce

Topping:
Mild shredded cheddar cheese
Shredded mozzarella cheese

Pastichio is usually seasoned with cinnamon rather than garlic and paprika. I prefer the garlic/paprika combo, but I urge you to experiment and see what ingredients you prefer.
