Hot Cheese Pastry Recipe
A variation of Tyropita
INGREDIENTS :
1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs, beaten
7/8 cup Feta cheese
1/2 package phyllo dough, about 8 sheets
3-1/2-ounces olive oil
3 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Pepper, to taste
Crumble feta cheese into a bowl. Add cottage cheese, parsley and eggs and beat together with a fork until well blended. Season with pepper.
Cut phyllo pastry down the longest length into 2-3/4-inch strips. Take 1 strip and cover other strips with a damp tea towel to prevent drying out.
Brush strip with olive oil and put a heaping teaspoon of the cheese mixture on the bottom left-hand corner. Fold over the corn with the filling so it meats the long-side edge and forms a triangle. Continue folding the filling up and over from side to side to form a neat triangle.
Place on an oiled baking sheet and brush with oil. Continue with the remaining phyllo pastry and mixture until all is used.
Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 5 to 15 minutes until light golden brown. Serve hot.

Finished Jiffy Popcorn
These are an easy, fast, and inexpensive gift! Great for the office co-workers, children's classmates, post master, school bus driver, etc.
Supplies:
Jiffy Pop Popcorn (these are only $1.00 at Target & Wal-Mart)
Cardstock
Homespun or other type of material/ribbon for bow on handle
Scissors
Instructions:
1. Save the printable to your computer and open up in a paint program and print off on cardstock (depending on your paint program and printer, you may need to adjust the size so that the circle fits into the Jiffy Pop).
2. Cut the circle out and fit into the Jiffy Pop container by uncrimping the edges and inserting the cardstock and recrimping the edges back to hold it into place. You want to make sure to keep the original circle there as well and just place your cardstock over it.
3. Tie a piece of homespun (or other material/ribbon) to the handle of the Jiffy Popcorn. And you are set to go!
An Easy, Fast, and Inexpensive Gift Idea!
