This is my husband's favorite way to have eggs in the morning. He is a man who likes to fight his food just a little bit.

I am in South Beach phase 1 and this is the PERFECT answer to my pasta cravings! It's so delicious.
No Frying Needed. Reduces alot of the fat and calories but taste just like Mom would make.
This has a great flavor due to using almonds instead of pine nuts. It is also great to freeze and store for later use.
# 1 large apple, peeled and grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
# 1/4 cup sugar
# 1 stick butter
# 1/4 teaspoon salt
# 1/2 cup water
# 1 cup flour
# 4 eggs
In a medium saucepan combine the butter, salt, sugar, and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Take pan off the heat and stir in the flour. Return the pan to medium heat and stir continuously until mixture forms a ball, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the flour mixture to a medium bowl. Using an electric hand mixer on low speed, add eggs, one at a time, incorporating each egg completely before adding the next. Beat until smooth. Add the grated apple and stir to combine. If not frying immediately, cover with plastic wrap and reserve in the refrigerator.
Combine the whipping cream, 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, and cinnamon in a
medium bowl. Whip until medium soft peaks form. Transfer the whipping cream to a serving dish.
Meanwhile, pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F.
Using a small ice-cream scooper or 2 small spoons, carefully drop about a rounded tablespoon of the dough into the hot olive oil. Turn the zeppole once or twice, and cook until golden and puffed up, about 4 minutes. Fry the zeppole in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan. Drain on paper towels. Transfer the zeppole to a serving dish and sprinkle with powdered sugar using a small sieve. Serve with the cinnamon whipped cream alongside for dipping.
Not exactly chicken piccata since it's breaded, but easy and delicious just the same!

Adapted from Taste of Home Slow Cooker Recipe Cards. p 59, January 2008. I used 13.25 oz of Whole Grain Pasta instead of 16 oz. of egg noodles, Ground Turkey instead of Ground Beef. Turkey Pepperoni instead of regular pepperoni. Twice as much Mushrooms and a whole onion instead of a 1/4 cup. I also used 2 15 oz. cans of Hunts Tomato Sauce and Tones Spaghetti Seasoning. The original recipe called for a 26 oz jar of spaghetti sauce. Its still a little high in calories (I noted 10 servings instead of 6-8) but it could placate a multi person household where some still want some favorites. The cheese could be cut down if desired.
This soup is super yum and the cheese adds a bit of richless. The calories calculator should be accurate but I've had to estimate the brocolini and vegetable stock as I couldn't write bunch or litres, but it's very healthy.
