Fast Food For Writers, part 2

In continuing observance of NaNoWriMo, here's another offering that's good for the soul.


Karen’s Version of Impossible Pie

Ingredients:
1 1-lb. bag of frozen vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots)
½ cup chopped white onion
1 8 oz. can mushroom stems and pieces


Mix above ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and cook briefly (until you can smell them). Spoon into a 9” pie plate that has been sprayed with Pam.


Mix in blender:
2 eggs (or a two-egg container of egg substitute)
2 T chilled “lower fat” margarine
1 T baking powder
½ cup skim milk
6 T flour
½ t salt
pepper to taste


Blend on high for 15 seconds. Pour over vegetables and bake in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes or until done.


Top with 1½ oz. grated low-fat cheddar cheese and return to oven until melted.


NOTE: This is an old Weight Watchers recipe adjusted to allow for more onions and mushrooms (my favorites!). If you use eggs instead of egg substitute or butter instead of the lower fat margarine, you may need to adjust quantities.


This is yummy as an entre just out of the oven or wrapped in a tortilla, with salsa, as a quick lunch. 


Enjoy (and happy writing!)
