Cooking with Demarle

I wanted to have this pinned and saved, so I'm putting it here... CUCUMBER TIPS & TRICKS THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS!!  1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc. 2.For a pick me up in the afternoon... Put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good  source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours. Slice some and put in your water bottle. 3. If you rub a cucumber slice along your bathroom mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance. 4. Place a few slices of cucumber in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and mak...

I just saw this recipe on a Demarle email but couldn't find a clickable link everyone could see, so I thought I'd just put it in my blog. I know many who will love this idea!!

I'm sure someone has thought of this before, but I came up with it a while back when I wanted grilled cheese and had the stuff for a Caprese salad (mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and balsamic). So, why not??!! What came was a yummy, delicious sandwich!!! You make it just like plain old grilled cheese. I suggest using Sourdough bread, butter it, then layer thin slices of mozzarella, bold flavored tomatoes (like from the vine), basil (I use freeze dried), a little salt & pepper, balsamic glaze (I used a thicker balsamic vinegar so it doesn't spread all over your pan...which it sizzles a lot when it hits that hot pan), then put one more layer of thin slices of mozzarella, and grill to perfection! This would probably be good with some grilled chicken as well. There's not a whole lot of substance in this sandwich; it doesn't fill me up, but it is just oh so good! Would be great as an appetizer for a dinner party or finger food dish. So yummy; enjoy :)

So, I'm not a big "Meatloaf" fan...something about the name has always turned me off. I don't mind my mom's, but it's never something I would order at a restaurant. I'm just not that into meat. However, my family is...specifically Joe and Felicity. Every once in a while I'll try making it, usually trying to make it healthier by using Turkey. It's edible, but nothing to write home about ;) So, today I discovered creating a brown sugar crust on top...um, OK, I'll give that a whirl. I found about 5 recipes that I used ingredients or ideas from, so here's my version...in the Demarle Muffin Tray...with a yummy brown sugar spin!! Joe thought we should call them Meat Muffins ;) 2 lbs lean ground beef (I used 10% fat) 2/3 cup Brown Sugar, split 2/3 cup ketchup, split Pepper (maybe 1/2 tsp) 1 1/2 cups crushed Ritz Crackers (or good old fashioned bread crumbs) but the Ritz were yummy! 2 eggs 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder (or dic...

**I found this recipe on Facebook and that person did not have the source of the recipe or the photo. I searched on Pinterest and could not find it either. So, I'm blogging it because I CANNOT wait to make these and it looks like everyone else on Pinterest is wanting it too!!! If you created this, let me know and I will give credit where it is quite obviously due!! This is a PERFECT Fall AND Demarle recipe - I LOVE this combo ;) 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree ... 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 cup evaporated milk 2/3 cup all purpose flour 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Original recipe says "Line 12 cup muffin tin with silicone liners, foil liners sprayed with cooking spray or just spray the cups with cooking spray. Either of these three methods will make it easy to take the cupcake out after it’s cooked. Paper liners make ...

1 cup mayonaise 1 cup shredded swiss cheese 1/2 cup crumbled bacon 1 small onion (diced) 1 small tomato (diced) 2 tsp dried basil or 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil (I actually use a little more) Mix all these ingredients together and refrigerate. When you are ready to make the tartlets, use the pillsbury pie crust and roll it on the roulpat (no extra flour needed) to thin it out. Use cutters (size will vary depending on the size tartlet tray you are using) to cut the pastry into circles. Place Mini Tartlet Tray on Perforated Baking sheet, and place each piece of dough in the tartlet tray, press with shaper. Add 1tsp of dip to each and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Enjoy!! **Adapted from Demarle at Home recipe

In my search to find a good crustless Quiche recipe for a An ALL Weight Watcher friendly Demarle at Home Cooking Demo, I created the following:  For 12 servings: 4 eggs 4 egg whites 3/4 c sour cream 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp oregano 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1 1/2 - 2 cups cheese (I used FF cheddar and LF mozzarella) 1/3 of a red onion chopped and sauteed in a little olive oil 5 oz (or so) frozen broccoli - thawed, finely chopped and excess water squeezed out Mix eggs and sour cream together until very well mixed; then add in other ingredients as listed and combine well. This mixture can sit, covered, in fridge for a few hours (or overnight) til ready to bake.  Preheat oven to 375. Place Muffin Tray on the Perforated Baking Sheet. Fill each muffin well about 3/4 full. Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes, until top starts browning. OR, place your favorite Mold (The Daisy Mold is shown in the pictures) and fill it. Bake at 375 for about 40 min...
