Butternut Squash and Quinoa Frittata

1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 cups of cubed butternut squash
1 tsp fresh chopped rosemary
A pinch of nutmeg

3 eggs
4 egg whites
1/2 cup of skim milk
1/2 cup of blue cheese crumbles
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400.

Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.  Add in onions and
allow to cook for about 8 minutes or soŠyou want them to be translucent
and on they're way to sweet.

In the meantime combine eggs, egg whites, milk, salt and pepper in a
medium bowl.

Once the onions are ready, stir in squash, rosemary, and nutmeg.  Add a
splash of water and pop a lid on for about ten minutes or until just
tender.  Remove lid and stir in quinoa.

Once everything is well combined, turn the heat off and pour in egg
mixture.  Top with crumbled blue cheese and pop everything in the oven

P.E.T.A's All-American Apple Pie

P.E.T.A's All-American Apple Pie

Ingredients for the Crust:
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup cold water
3/4 cup solid vegetable shortening

Ingredients for the Filling:
1 3/4 lbs. Golden Delicious apples, thinly sliced
1 3/4 lbs. Granny Smith apples, thinly sliced
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp. unbleached flour

3 Tbsp. Earth Balance margarine, diced
1 Tbsp. soy milk
1 Tbsp. Florida Crystals sugar
Large pinch of ground cinnamon

Method for the Crust:
In a bowl, combine the flour and the salt. Mix the water with 1/3 cup of
the flour mixture to make a paste. Set aside.

With a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the vegetable shortening into the
remaining flour mixture until the texture is "pebbly." Add the paste and
mix well. Shape into a ball and divide into 2 parts.

Lightly flour a clean countertop and rolling pin. Roll 1 portion of the
dough at a time. Roll from the center out, lifting the roller at the end
of the dough (rather than rolling back and forth). Roll to a 1/8-inch
thickness.

Have an 8- or 9-inch pie pan ready. The rolled dough should be at least
2 inches larger than your pie pan. Loosen from the rolling surface, fold
in half, and place in the center of the pie pan. Unfold and gently work
into the pan, pressing lightly. Trim any excess dough with a knife.

Method for the Filling:
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla
extract, and cinnamon. Let stand for approximately 15 minutes, or until
juices form. Add the flour and mix.

To Assemble:
Spoon the filling into the bottom crust and dot with margarine.
Roll out the second ball of dough to form a 13-inch round circle. Drape
over the filling.

Seal the top and bottom crust edges together and trim any excess dough,
leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold under and crimp decoratively with a
greased fork.

Brush the pie with the soy milk. Combine the sugar and the cinnamon in a
small bowl and sprinkle over the pie.

Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven.

Immediately reduce the temperature to 375°F. Bake for approximately 2
hours, or until the crust is golden brown, the apples are tender, and
the filling is thick and bubbling. If the edges are browning too
quickly, cover with foil.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
