3. Turn dough onto a floured surface and form into a disk.
4. Knead lightly just a few times until smooth.

2/3 cup Broughton cottage cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
2/3 cup almond meal
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
4 eggs, beaten
3 T water
1/4 cup finely diced ham (could use turkey ham)
1/2 cup sharp cheddar
2 T sliced green onions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. In mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, parmesan white whole wheat flour, almond meal, baking powder, salt, eggs, and water. Mix until well combined, then gently stir in ham, sharp cheddar, and green onions.
3. Spray silicone muffin cups with non-stick spray or olive oil, or use foil muffin cups. Divide batter between six muffin cups. Bake muffins 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top and set.  Muffins can be refrigerated and reheated in microwave. Be careful not to microwave too long or they will get tough.  Makes 6 muffins

1. Brown meat, onion, and green pepper (and mushrooms if desired), adding garlic salt. Drain fat.
2. Add tomato sauce and bring to a simmer, cover and cook for at least 1 hour.

4. Preheat oven to 350°F.
5. Grease a 13X9 pan with butter. Evaluate the sauce, if it has cooked for a long time and lost a lot of liquid, thin it by adding 1/4 cup at a time of cooking liquid from the noodles. Add as much as desired to get the right consistency: thick but spreadable. This will also make your sauce "sticky" so it will coat the noodles.
6. Spoon a thin layer of sauce into the bottom of the dish. Layer noodles (overlapping if necessary), 1/2 meat mixture and 1/2 the cheese mixture.
7. Cover with the rest of noodles, meat and cheese mixture. Top with shredded mozzarella.

7. Top tortillas with any remaining meat or cheese mixture or shredded cheese.
