CREAM CHEESE SPRITZ COOKIES

CREAM CHEESE SPRITZ COOKIES Food Recipes, Spritz cookies are one of the simplest cookies you will find and they come in many flavors. Our favorites are chocolate, butter and cream cheese. Traditionally, they are shaped with a cookie press, but if you do not have a cookie press, you can shape them in 1" balls and flatten them with a flat...

PIZZA ROLLS - A QUICK PARTY SNACK

PIZZA ROLLS - A QUICK PARTY SNACK Food Recipes, What do you make, when you should have gone grocery shopping yesterday, and hubby says "whats to snack on?" Hmmmm, well, I did a quick check of what I had on hand and came up with this idea. The possibilities are endless; tuck in a few chopped mushrooms or pieces of broccoli, or if you aren't...

OPEN FACE SURIMI MELT SANDWICHES

OPEN FACE SURIMI MELT SANDWICHES Food Recipes, I don't want this to sound like a commercial, but I would like to say something about Alaskan surimi (I get the impression some people aren't familiar with it). Surimi is made from boneless, skinless Alaskan Pollock fillets that are cooked and flavored with crab meat, then pressed into various...

PIZZA-STUFFED PEPPERS

PIZZA-STUFFED PEPPERS Food Recipes, In a recent issue of Pillsbury's Pot Pies & Casseroles cookbook, I found a recipe for Pizza-Stuffed Peppers, made with orzo pasta instead of rice, which intrigued me. They were very easy to make and were quite good. This would be a great recipe for kids. 1/2 cup uncooked orzo4 cups boiling water6 small...

FUN FOOD FACTS & OUR DOG CHLOE

FUN FOOD FACTS & OUR DOG CHLOE Food Recipes, This is our dog Chloe, she just turned five. Our oldest son calls her "his youngest sister" (insinuating that we treat her like a human lol). We bought her from puppy rescue when she was just 6 weeks old and (by the look of the doggie toy basket) she has the run of the house. Her mother was...

VEGGIE CALZONES

VEGGIE CALZONES Food Recipes, Lately I've been making calzones. They are a very versatile "hot sandwich" and since they require small amounts of filling...they are a good way to us any leftovers on hand. Hubby loves big meat sandwiches, so I've made them with leftover BBQ chicken, steak & cheese, ham & cheese, crisp bacon & cheese...

PINEAPPLE-PECAN CUPCAKES

PINEAPPLE-PECAN CUPCAKES Food Recipes, A few days ago, Donna, over at My Tasty Treasures, posted a yummy looking recipe for Pineapple Pecan Cake. Today, I decided to cut her recipe in half and make cupcakes instead (half of the recipe makes 15 cupcakes).With my "tweaks" I was aiming for sort of a pineapple upside down cake flavor, and it...

RICE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

RICE STUFFED MUSHROOMS Food Recipes, The origin of this recipe is fairly humble: Hubby was hungry for steak and I was not, so I stuffed some large button mushrooms full of leftover spicey red rice and topped them with Monterrey Jack cheese and baked them. They were so good, I ate way too much...the rest of them I re-heated (microwave)...

SOURDOUGH PANCAKES

SOURDOUGH PANCAKES Food Recipes, There is something sweetly nostalgic about the smell of sourdough pancakes cooking. I guess it is because my children were raised on them and these days, when I cook them, it is almost as if the kids should be walking in the door any minute. You can use almost any kind of fruit in these pancakes (this time...

CHOCOLATE-VANILLA CHEESECAKE

CHOCOLATE-VANILLA CHEESECAKE Food Recipes, I served this delicious new recipe last weekend. Hubby and I couldn't stop nibbling on it. It has a bottom chocolate layer and a top vanilla layer, then I topped it with my newly discovered cream cheese-whipped cream. Talk about a one-two punch!! It is super quick to make and baked up without a...

ULTRA TENDER PORK RIBS

ULTRA TENDER PORK RIBS Food Recipes, This is more of a cooking technique than a recipe. I've made country style boneless pork ribs using this technique for as long as I can remember and they are fork tender every time. I am guessing that most of the experienced cooks out there already know this method, but there might be a few younger ones...

PITA BREAD

PITA BREAD Food Recipes, Pita bread made with a bread machine, what could be easier? The only trick is to roll them thin enough (I didn't roll my my first batch thin enough and they were lofty little pillows, but bad minimal pockets). The thinner batch made perfect pocket pitas.This was a quick fun project and the final results were delicious,...

PEANUT BUTTER RICE KRISPIE TREATS

PEANUT BUTTER RICE KRISPIE TREATS Food Recipes, A few weeks ago, Heidi at Tried-and-True Cooking with Heidi posted a recipe that she called Old-School Peanut Butter Squares. The recipe caught my eye because it does not call for marshmallows (we like marshmallows, but they aren't always in the pantry). The only tweak I made was to substitute...

GREEN ENCHILADA SAUCE

GREEN ENCHILADA SAUCE Food Recipes, I have always cooked with canned Ortega mild fire-roasted chilies (if hubby doesn't know they are in a recipe, he magically does not get heartburn lol). However, I have put off the urge to cook with fresh Anaheim chilies because I think he would seriously panic if he saw them. Well, recently, the opportunity...

SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS

SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS Food Recipes, Hubby has a serious sweet tooth; he even likes SOME savory dishes on the sweet side, like this (quick and easy) sweet and sour sauce. It works equally as well with chicken, pork, country style ribs and shrimp.SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLSMEATBALLS1 pound of very lean ground beef5 tablespoons dry bread crumbs1/4...

PEACH PIE and a QUESTION ABOUT CURRY POWDER

PEACH PIE and a QUESTION ABOUT CURRY POWDER Food Recipes, Our fall is revving up...the Alaska State Fair is underway and it is the absolute end of our growing season (we will have frost in less than two weeks). What does all that mean? It is finally cool enough to bake to my hearts content, which makes me a happy camper.Hubby is the pie...
