Galaxy Chicken Sausage and Rice.

Part of the Mars Food Series. I need to fix some for dinner and use the left overs and meat in the refrigerator. This is what Dinner ended up being.
The flavor of the sweet Jasmine Rice and the savory of the Sausage was a good mix. Enjoy.

1 package Garlic, Sage chicken sausage (you can really use any Chicken sausage here).
1 can fire-roasted tomatoes
1 Tablespoon of Tomato Paste.
Olive oil about 2 Tablespoons.

1. Cut the sausage into 1/4 " slices.
2. Heat Olive oil in large fry pan on Med high heat( about #6 or 7 on most stoves),
3. Add Sausage cook for about 5 minutes.
4. Add the whole can of Fire roasted Tomatoes. cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
   
5. Add Tomato Paste stir until thicken about 2 minutes.
6. Cover, reduce heat continue to simmer(#2 or #3) about 4 to 5 minutes.

I had some Steamed Jasmine rice which was cooked in a rice cooker and stored in a rectangular container, I cut it into squares. Placed it in the bowls and put the sausage mixture on the side, overlapping the rice a little.


To make the Rice in a Rice cooker: Place 2 cups of Jasmine rice and 3 cups of water. stir and cover and press on. Mine took about 25 to 30 minutes.

Red Planet Cake w/ Ice Caps Icing

Not my photo: Credit goes to Lisa over at:
Stop and Smell the Chocolates











This is part of the Mars Collection
Mars aks " The Red Planet" due to the color of the planet.

This cake is a low cholesterol. The icing is very good- you only need a little so that reduces the calories. It is a moist cake, caution it will go fast. Will Serve about 12 people,serving size 3x3 inch piece.

1 package of Betty Crocker Super Moist German Chocolate Cake mix
1+1/3 cup water
1/2 Cup Vegetable oil
3/4 cup Egg beaters with yolk (these EB do not have as much Saturated fat as an egg)
Mix well; beat low speed for 30sec than high for 3 minutes.

I use a silicone baking pan 12x9 inch. Grease only the bottom. The cake will not stick so you need no Flour.

Bake in 325 Fahrenheit degree oven for 25-30 minutes. until a toothpick put in middle comes out clean.
Remove and cool completely in pan.

Ice Caps Frosting

3oz Philadelphia Cream cheese (do not use Low or fat free it does not hold up)
1/2 cup Cool whip Light Whip topping.
2 cups of Powder Sugar.

Cream- Cream cheese and powder sugar together- add Cool whip mix til blended.
remove cooled cake from pan and top with icing. Refrigerate leftovers.

Empress Glorianna's Chocolate Cookie

Lisa over at Stop and Smell the Chocolates is having a fall fruit festival. I am re-posting this for the chocolate friday.


This is a Double Chocolate cookie. It is Made with White and Semi Sweet Chocolate. I have found Cooking the Cookies at a Low temp produces a much Softer cookie( like the ones you get in the mall). These cookies are trans fat free, and lower in Saturated fats. Since we are in the Mars Theme Months, we gave it a Martian name. Name after one of our favorite Martian at Mars2112 in New York City. I know she will love this Cookie, after all she is the Empress of Mars. Every time we go to Mars2112 she tells us how she loves Earthling Chocolate, it's the best in the galaxy! Learn more about the Mars Family.

you will need:
1 cup of Buttered Flavored Solid Crisco Shortening ( I buy in the the 1cup bars)
1/2 cup Granulated sugar
1/2 cup (Packed) Light Brown Sugar
2 large eggs at room temperature
2 teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
3oz Nestle (toll house) premier White Morsels

2-1/2 cups of unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
8 oz Nestle (toll house) real semi sweet Chunk Morsels.

First melt the White chocolate in the microwave. 30 sec then stir, another 30 sec remove and stir til melted completely- set aside ( close to your work space)

Put Shortening and Sugar in mixer- blend until creamy about 3-5 minutes.
Add eggs- one at a time, blending well after each egg is added.
Add Vanilla -blend well
Add Melted White Chocolate, blend well

Sift dry ingredients together, Add to Shortening/egg mixture- 1/3 cup at a time blend on low speed of mixture for 10seconds, continue pattern til all flour mixture is used.
Fold in Chocolate chunks.

roll about 1 Tablespoon of dough in hand-place on cookies sheet lined with a Silicone mat 2 inches apart ( if you do not have a silicone cooking mat, ask for one for Mothers' day or buy yourself one, it is the best investment I ever made!)

Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 to 20 minutes til golden brown. cool 2 minute then move to wire rack
makes about 4 dozen cookies

Have some Lemon English Ice Tea with that!

Fried Martian Chicken

This is a Healthier version of Fried Chicken. Omega 3 fats are a good choice. By using Olive oil and Butter you get the taste without high saturated fats. You can use an olive oil stick or promise stick in place of the butter, if you wish. Still stick to the recipe amount for the butter (2 TBSP). Otherwise the chicken will be too greasy.


3.5 lbs chicken pieces.- Pat dry
Auntie E Celestial Seasoning*
2 Tablespoon Olive oil- Robust Flavor
2 Tablespoon unsalted Butter
Fry Pan

1. Put oil and butter in pan
2. Heat pan on medium high- Heat until butter is melted
3. Add chicken skin side down. cook for 15 minutes or until skin is golden brown.
4. sprinkle lightly with celestial seasoning, turn chicken over turn heat down to Medium , continue cooking for 15-20 minutes until no longer pink.
5 remove from pan and serve.

Two Moon Toast

Mars has two small moons they are very close to the surface. Phobos has a 22 kilometer diameter. It is located 9,378 kilometers from Mars. Deimos is 23,459 kilometers from Mars surface. Deimos is 12 kilometer in diameter. Hall discovered the moons in 1877.


This is a New version of French toast. My family help me name it. Their thought was there are Two Moons in the Mars sky. We had it for dinner. Now on Mars you could eat it before the sunrise or after the sunset. There would be two moons up both times. Hence the Two Moon Toast.

1 loaf of Sourdough Bread- sliced thin
4 eggs
1/4 cup coffee mate Italian Sweet Cream creamer
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 Tablespoon Powdered Sugar
nonstick Griddle heated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit

1. Mix the eggs, creamer, vanilla and powdered sugar in a square pan until well mixed.
2. Dip bread both sides into egg mixture
3. Cook on griddle for approximately 2 minutes per side until light brown.
4. store in heated 150 degree Fahrenheit, to keep warm.
5. We serve it with Pure maple syrup.

serve 6 people.

note: to be more health friendly: you can use 3/4 cup eggbeater with yolk + 1/3 cup Eggbeater Whites in place of 4 eggs. I found using both types of eggbeater gives it the same flavor.
