It has so many of my favorites flavors, textures, and ingredients in it, and I love it. I also love it for a couple of other reasons--my kids will eat it (at least the turkey and cheese), and it's super fast and easy. I served it with homemade oven fries, and two days later, I'm still craving it! The sauce is absolutely divine--I used light mayo and sour cream to make it more figure friendly--and I even dipped my fries in it. YUM! Emma and I are eating gluten free, so I just used a loaf of homemade gluten-free bread, and it was delicious!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

½ teaspoon chili powder<br />
½ teaspoon ground cumin<br />
¼ teaspoon salt<br />
1/3 cup lite mayonnaise<br />
1/3 cup nonfat sour cream<br />
1/3 cup green onions, chopped<br />
1 pound sliced turkey<br />
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced<br />
2 ripe avocados, sliced<br />
¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded<br />
¾ cup pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.<br />
<br />
In a bowl, combine olives, chili powder, cumin, and salt; set aside 2 Tablespoons of this mixture. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, and green onions to the remaining olive mixture. <br />
<br />
Place bread on an ungreased baking sheet and spread 1 Tablespoon of the mayonnaise mixture on each slice. Top with slices of turkey and tomatoes. Spread with another Tablespoon of mayonnaise mixture (I didn't add this because I didn't think it needed it). Top with avocados and cheeses. Sprinkle with the reserved 2 Tablespoons of olive mixture. Bake @ 350 for 15 min. Makes 8-10 servings.</span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577034186173425515.post-16853311665569901892011-10-19T20:45:00.000-07:002011-10-19T20:45:00.123-07:00{northern cornbread}Wow! It's been a long time since I've posted a recipe! I just finished completely re-doing my recipe binder(s), and I am thrilled. I discovered a few long lost recipes, got rid of recipes we didn't like or didn't use, and added a ton of new favorites. <br />
<br />
Today I'm sharing an old favorite. It's definitely chili weather, and it's something our family loves and eats often. The perfect complement to chili is cornbread, and I am forced to choose between two wonderful choices--Southern Cornbread (in right side column), and Northern Cornbread.<br />
<br />
Northern Cornbread is a little more cake-y and sweet, and very delicious. Serve it warm with butter, or dip it in your chili--either way, you will want more!<br />

It is so yummy, and super easy, so we have it pretty often. This week though, we had already had a lot of pasta, and the kids were wanting something a little different. I already had this planned for the menu, so I switched it up and turned it into a taco. The kids loved it, and it's perfect for summer! With only 4 ingredients, it's super easy and takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">1 lb. ground beef</div><div style="text-align: center;">1 lb. fresh salsa </div><div style="text-align: center;">1 can black beans, drained and rinsed</div><div style="text-align: center;">salt and pepper to taste </div><div style="text-align: center;">corn tortillas OR taco shells</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, then drain if necessary. Add the fresh salsa ( get mine at our local grocery store deli) and black beans; heat through. I like making my own taco shells out of corn tortillas. They really are quick and easy, and I love the taste of them. Just heat a little oil in the bottom of a large skillet, then place the tortillas in the oil until they are lightly browned. Remove from oil with tongs, and drain on paper towels. You can either eat them like a tostada (make them a little crisper), or fold them in half like a taco. You could certainly use taco shells though! Fill your taco shell with the meat mixture, then top with your favorite toppings. We like cheese, tomatoes, cilantro, green onion, lettuce and avocado. YUM!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It's not your traditional brownie, using butterscotch instead of cocoa to flavor them, but it still has chocolate chips in them for all the chocolate lovers! I'm sorry I don't have a picture...they disappeared before I could. :)<br /><br />One other note---I doubled the recipe, and used a 9x13 pan.

Melt the peanut butter chips in a glass bowl in the microwave, making sure to stir every 30 seconds. The chips will hold its shape even when completely soft, so check often to avoid burning. Pour the melted chips over the popcorn, and mix well, making sure to coat all the popcorn. I actually used my hands--it worked much better than just a spoon. Spread the popcorn out on a cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil.<br /><br />Melt the chocolate chips in another glass bowl, following the same method. Spoon into a sandwich bag (or piping bag), then cut the tip of one corner. Pipe the chocolate over the top of the peanut butter popcorn.

Set bowls under broiler, 4-6 inches from heat, and broil about 2 minutes or until cheese is golden brown. <br /><br />*You can also toast the bread and cheese ahead of time, and place on top of the soup right before serving. <br /><br />Calories per serving: 203<br />Total Fat: 3 grams<br />Protein: 19 grams<br />Carbs: 25 gramsUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577034186173425515.post-44290494647739555422011-01-05T11:50:00.000-08:002011-01-05T11:52:53.939-08:00{porcupine meatballs}It's not often that I find a meal that every single person in our family likes and will eat, but this is one of them!

It is my most favorite treat, hands down. The only catch? It has to be chewy. The chewier and gooey-er the better. So, I went on a hunt to find the best recipe, and I think I've found it. This is so delicious--and totally addicting. Just thought I would warn you.<br /><br />CHEWY CARAMEL CORN<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">-www.cooks.com-</span><br /><br />1 c. sugar<br />1 c. brown sugar<br />1/2 c. butter<br />1-14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk<br />1 1/2 c.

It came from my good friend, <a href="http://smartmama.blogspot.com">smartmama</a>. It's one of my personal favorites, and my family loves it too. I love it for so many reasons--it's yummy, only has a few ingredients, and doesn't take long to prepare or cook. <br /><br />PENNE ARRIBIATA<br /><br />1 T. olive oil<br />3 cloves crushed garlic<br />1 onion, chopped<br />1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (increase or decrease for more/less spiciness)<br />1-28 oz. can petite dice tomatoes<br />1 package penne (16 oz.)<br /><br />Saute onion, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes in the olive oil.

I went home and decided to try it anyway, based on what I could remember. It is delicious, and SO easy. It was a definite hit at our house!<br /><br />FRENCH FRIED ONION CHICKEN<br /><br />4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless<br />1 package French Fried Onions<br />1 c. buttermilk<br /><br />**You can use eggs, instead of buttermilk, but buttermilk is a natural tenderizer...making the chicken especially tender.<br /><br />Crush the French Fried Onions into small pieces, then pour in a pie plate. Pour the buttermilk into another pie plate. Dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk first, then roll in the French Fried Onions. Place on a cookie sheet, lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. We like to serve these with honey mustard and ranch dressing.<br /><br />Enjoy!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577034186173425515.post-39284492438654814782010-05-08T06:43:00.000-07:002010-05-08T06:43:00.103-07:00{caramel shortbread bars}<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGwuAR2fvZAdxxTGE47F7ZmNsqHQWJ3Ym60XUDkhIhSndmxO07QTTCMN45VBvA8glXzxAVTcCZSh_ZGZ7c5SoFoNI_789UT_cBUNbhM2G0nt7rSIJZrMQV1Vmu-I15ybe4V2yd7Yfl7eY/s1600/caramel+bars+close.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 363px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGwuAR2fvZAdxxTGE47F7ZmNsqHQWJ3Ym60XUDkhIhSndmxO07QTTCMN45VBvA8glXzxAVTcCZSh_ZGZ7c5SoFoNI_789UT_cBUNbhM2G0nt7rSIJZrMQV1Vmu-I15ybe4V2yd7Yfl7eY/s400/caramel+bars+close.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467238634209526658" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">A couple of weeks ago I was sitting in the doctor's office, and ended up waiting for some time. I found myself thumbing through quite a few magazines, and stumbled across a recipe that I could not wait to try. I pulled out the notebook and pen from my purse, and hastily scratched down the recipe. Unfortunately, I did not document the name of the magazine, so if anyone knows, please let me know so I can give them credit!<br /><br />This afternoon I had a chance to try them, and holy moly, they are fantastic! If you are a caramel lover, these bars are for you. The crumbly goodness of the shortbread crust, combined with the rich chewiness of the caramel = DIVINE.<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CARAMEL SHORTBREAD BARS</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Crust:</span><br />10 T. unsalted butter, melted<br />1/2 c. sugar<br />1/2 tsp. salt<br />1 egg yolk<br />1 2/3 c. flour<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Mix ingredients well, then press into a 9x9 pan that has been layered with foil or parchment paper and goes over the edges of the pan about an inch.
