Two Tasty Recipes

I saw this blog from Demarle the other day and I love these ideas! I'm going to make them tomorrow I think, so I will post pictures once I do. In the meantime, I wanted to share the recipes...they sound so easy and yummy!

So, I made dinner/dessert for our Girls Supper Club last night. I made both of these recipes. For the salad, I could not find cherry vinegar, so I used raspberry instead. I also used pecans in the parmesan mixture instead of walnuts, as well as added candied pecans on top...it was SO good!! The cheese mixture I might have cooked a little long. It tasted excellent but did not form as easily as I would have liked. Next time, I think I would make circles of the cheese mixture, then mold it to the back of muffin tray to make cups instead. Either way, it looked pretty good and tasted really good!


The dessert was very soupy! However, it tasted really good! I forgot to take pics of the finished product, but honestly it didn't look that special. Here is the picture of what it looked like as I was putting it together in the Round Tray. I added ice cream on top and everyone loved it and ate it up! That's gotta say something, right? ;) PLUS, I used the leftover apples & caramel sauce this morning on french toast...YUMMY!!

Chili Relleno Quiche...or any other kind of crustless quiche

Image
This is the most popular recipe, by far, from the food I make at my parties! And, to my surprise, I have never posted it on here...so, figure I should now. EASY EASY RECIPE!!! This is the recipe for about a 2qt mold, like the flower mold, or if you're going to pour into a tray (muffin, square savarin, etc.). However, I use the Sunflower mold the most, so in parentheses I will put how much I use for the sunflower mold ...if that makes any sense ;) Ingredients: 8 eggs, beaten (10) ¾ cup sour cream (1 cup) 3 cups Monterey Jack & Cheddar shredded cheese mix (4 cups) - you can use whatever cheese you like best, even the Mexican blend would be good. I like the Jack/Cheddar combo best though 2 - 4 oz cans or 1 - 7 oz can of diced green chilies, undrained (a 4 oz AND a 7 oz can) Tabasco Sauce, optional (I never use this at parties, but if you like spice, go for it!) Whisk the eggs first, really well.  Then, add your sour cream and whisk very well. It turns out best when t

Chocolate Kahlua Cake

Image
Yummy!! I found this recipe in the new Demarle Dessert cookbook and it is so good! Any 18-22 oz package Chocolate Cake mix. I used a Duncan Hines Devil's Food mix 4 eggs 1 cup sour cream 1 cup Kahlua 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Preheat oven to 340. In the mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, sour cream, Kahlua and oil. Beat with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until blended. Do not over mix. Stir in chocolate chips with spatula. Place Fluted Bundt Mold on perforated baking sheet. Pour batter into mold. Bake for 45 minutes. Check to see if cake is done with toothpick. Do not over bake! Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes in pan before unmolding. You can spinkle powdered sugar on top, drizzle with melted white chocolate chips or decorate with whipped topping. But I did not do any of those and it was perfect as is, and it is so easy to make!!

Instant Pot One Pot Pasta

This is a form of baked ziti with meat sauce, but all made in one pot. No more cooking in 2 pots on the stove and then in the oven in a third dish. The family loved this!  Ingredients: Olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, chopped (or these amazing frozen garlic chunks) italian seasoning (I just eyeball this, but I'm guessing I used 1 tsp of salt, pepper, 1 tbsp dried parsley, 2 tsp dried basil, or these fabulous frozen basil chunks) 1 lb ground beef (I prefer lean just so you don't have to drain it but up to you; could also use turkey, sausage, or no meat) 1 jar pasta sauce (I like the Trader Joe's tomato & basil marinara) 1 jar of water 1 15 oz can tomato sauce (or more of the jar, but this is how I made it tonight so those are the ingredients I'm listing) 1 lb your favorite tube pasta; we used penne pasta (tube just holds more stuff inside and tends to be better for this type of recipe) 1 cup mozzarella cheese, optional Se
