1/2 c orange juice, unsweetened
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
2 tsp salt-free seasoning
Pepper to taste

1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup low fat margarine

Place the chicken broth, carrots, tomatoes, onions, garlic, orange juice, parsley, salt-free seasoning, pepper & ginger in a large stockpot. Cover with water & cook until tender (on low - for about an hour). Remove the pot when tender & puree in a food processor. Return to the pot & add the fat-free milk & margarine. Stir & simmer for approx. 10 more minutes. This can be served in a cleaned out pumpkin & heated in a warm ove for about 5 minutes.

I usually use about 1/2 as much onion, skip the parsley (because I never have it on hand), up the chicken broth to 1 cup, use salt, cream & butter! I guess I like my soups a bit richer & less healthy! Yummy fall goodness!

Spaghetti Pizza

From my Mom - an all time Rossow Favorite!

1 (14oz) package of thin spaghetti
1 cup milk
2 eggs
2 (15 1/2oz) jars spaghetti sauce) *I usually use a 26 oz jar....*
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2-1 cup thinly sliced pepperoni
2 cups shredded mozzarella

Prepare spaghetti according to pkg directions. Drain. Beat milk & eggs together; toss with spaghetti. Spread spaghetti mixture in greased jelly roll pan (11x18). Top with sauce. Arrange pepperoni slices in rows. Sprinkle with cheese & ground beef. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

*I usually use a 9x13 glass cake pan because I think my jelly roll pan is bigger than 11X18 & the pieces are too thin for my liking! a 9x13 pan makes really THICK pieces. No one makes this recipe better than my Mom. It always tastes better when she makes it!
