In this second installment of their two-part series, Kathi Lipp and Tonya Kubo continue their discussion about Kathi's new book, Sabbath Soup , offering practical tips and strategies for stress-free meal planning and cooking.

And as promised: Kathi's Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Hint: This dough can be frozen as pre-scooped balls or ready-to-slice logs. Prep Time: 20 Minutes Bake Time: 10 minutes Yield: 112 cookies (recipe may be halved) Ingredients: 5 cups oatmeal 2 cups butter, room temperature 2 cups granulated sugar 2 cups brown sugar 4 eggs 2 tsp. vanilla 4 cups flour 2 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 24 oz. chocolate chips 1 8 oz. Hershey bar, grated 3 cups chopped nuts (your choice) Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. 2. Measure the oatmeal and place it in a blender to blend into a fine powder. 3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir to combine with the butter mixture, then stir in the flour, blended oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chocolate and nuts. 4. Scoop the dough into balls and place about 12 to a cookie sheet, evenly spaced, baking in batches. Bake for 10 minutes. 5. To freeze for later baking: Flash freeze scooped dough balls on a cookie sheet. Individually frozen dough balls are easier to handle and will keep their shape better when transferred to a freezer bag for longer-term storage. Alternately, form the dough into a log about 2 inches around and wrap in plastic wrap. Put the dough in the bag and write baking directions on the bag. I like to experiment with the cookies and find out what the baking time and temp is for frozen dough as well as thawed dough. Bake for 10 minutes, and then keep checking every 2 minutes to get them just perfect. Did you miss Part 1 of this conversation?

Plus, here's the Zucchini Boat recipe Kathi raved about in this episode! Stuffed Italian Zucchini Boats with Italian Sausage Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 35 minutes Ingredients: 4 medium zucchini 1 lb. Italian sausage 1 large onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes 1 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon dried oregano Salt and pepper, to taste 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 2 tablespoons olive oil Directions: Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking sheet or dish. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and use a spoon or melon baller to hollow out the centers, leaving about a 1/4 inch thick zucchini "boat". Place the zucchini on the baking sheet. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent. Add the diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for a few more minutes. Add back the sausage and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined. Spoon the sausage mixture into each zucchini boat, pressing it down and filling to the top. Top each zucchini boat with a generous amount of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Did you miss #634 Time Saving Strategies For Busy Cooks: Sabbath Soup Secrets ? Listen in now.
