Found an awesome banana pudding dessert online, but as with all the recipes I see, I find a way to tweak it to make it even better! ;) Our company was not disappointed, and I was happy to send them home with the leftovers. Let them gain weight... not us! ha! </span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ingredients:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">- 1 package Golden Oreos (36 cookies)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">- 1 stick of butter</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">- 1/4 cup granulated sugar</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">- 8 ounces cool whip topping, divided</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">- 1, 3.4 ounce, box instant banana pudding mix</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">- 1 cup milk </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">- 1/2 of a dram of LorAnn Pina Colada flavoring oil (a dram is 3.7 ml)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">(No flavoring oil? No problem... just leave it out. Still a deeeelicious banana dessert!)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">*Note: The picture showing only a piece of the dessert plated is not mine. I did not want to cut into mine until our company came over, so I found this picture online.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In a food processor, add the Oreos and butter and pulse until combined and crumbly. (Reserve about 1/2 cup to sprinkle on top for a finishing touch). Press Oreo crumb mixture in an 11x7 baking dish. Chill 10 minutes. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add 1 cup of the cool whip and combine. Spread over the Oreo crust. Whisk pudding and milk until pudding begins to thicken. Add a little of the Pina Colada flavoring oil. Combine. Pour mixture over crust. Add the rest of the cool whip on top, and sprinkle with remaining Oreo crumbs. Chill for one or more hours. Enjoy and good luck just having one piece. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>"Let whatever you do today be enough." - Anonymous</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06151911873181599331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899981855461562048.post-84804353873857612012021-04-22T16:13:00.004-04:002021-04-22T16:21:56.063-04:00Asparagus and Bacon Frittata <blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZv1l7vanZOIFR6sc4BQ8L5S2VKsjC7bHBrPNXZtjuRUwEC220CJ7JeMfFa_OsqpxwuEJCKEXT0KhbhoKzwvyly7quWyeWHlM1hN3lFILGlXdCeo2feJnRFzb5LWzbmvdagTDccEqsGEI/s2048/5CE93AE1-4078-4776-B652-B5C4E0E6E23D.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1775" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZv1l7vanZOIFR6sc4BQ8L5S2VKsjC7bHBrPNXZtjuRUwEC220CJ7JeMfFa_OsqpxwuEJCKEXT0KhbhoKzwvyly7quWyeWHlM1hN3lFILGlXdCeo2feJnRFzb5LWzbmvdagTDccEqsGEI/w346-h400/5CE93AE1-4078-4776-B652-B5C4E0E6E23D.JPEG" width="346" /></a></div></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">My sweet neighbor just gave me a bunch of fresh asparagus, straight from her brother's garden.

From Chopped, to Worst Cooks in America, to Beat Bobby Flay, and now Amy Schumer Learns to Cook (with her husband, Chris Fischer, who is a chef). We love everything about this show! The comedy, the recipes, the cocktails, and how they beautifully display each recipe on a piece of cardboard at the beginning.

Isn't that easy? I believe they added the cheese after they put the fennel/celery mixture on individual plates. Mixed right in works too. Also, in the same lazy manner, instead of taking awhile to thinly slice the fennel bulb and celery, I chopped them roughly and then used my Pampered Chef food chopper to finish the job. Worked great! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><b>"Sometimes cutting corners works well.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 3 Tbs olive oil, avocado oil, or bacon grease <-- that's what I used</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 3 cups chopped brussels sprouts</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 6 oz. (approximately) turkey kielbasa </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1/4 to 1/2 cup cocktail tomatoes, halved</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a large skillet, heat oil on high heat. When hot, add brussels sprouts and seasonings of your choice. Stir occasionally. Let brussels sprouts get brown and crispy, but not burnt. Add kielbasa and tomatoes. Turn down heat to simmer, cover with a lid, and stir occasionally. When brussels sprouts are tender, scoot everything to one side of the skillet. Crack your eggs in a separate bowl and whisk. Add eggs to empty side of skillet and let cook. When they are almost done, mix it all together and add shredded mozzarella. Cover and let mozzarella melt. Add fresh basil and enjoy!

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of my favorite nut butter's comes from Costco. I'm running low, and Costco isn't just right down the street; so I decided maybe it was time to make my own nut butter. This almond butter, with pure vanilla extract, pure maple syrup, and flaxseed oil isn't just healthy, it's scrumptious!!!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 2 cups raw almonds</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1 to 2 Tbs pure maple syrup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 2 to 3 tsp. flaxseed oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Roasting your almonds in the oven first helps so much with the flavor and texture of your nut butter. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Spread almonds out evenly on baking dish. Roast/toast for 10 minutes. Let cool. Place almonds in a Vitamix blender if you have one. If you don't, food processor will do but maybe add half of the almonds and process and then the other half. (I made almond butter before in my food processor and I thought the almonds were going to break it). That's when my Vitamix blender stepped in. It'll blend those almonds up quickly with no trouble at all. Blend about 4 minutes, using your tamper to press down on the almonds and scrape the sides. If you're using your food processor, stop it to scrape the sides often. After the almonds have processed or blended for about 4 minutes, add vanilla and maple syrup. Blend for another minute. While the blender is running, drizzle in flaxseed oil. Blend until smooth. (My almond butter is thick and not oily or runny. If you prefer smoother butter, add another couple teaspoons of the oil and/or another tablespoon of the maple syrup.) Toast a piece of bread, spread the almond butter on top, add jelly or fruit and grab yourself a cup of coffee. You're all set to have a wonderful day! :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">NOTE: If you process or blend the almonds ONLY for about 6 to 10 minutes... you also have almond butter. I wanted more of a vanilla, sweeter taste. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So when I was little, my sister and I used to play with our Dad's CB radio in his car. We even had handles. Hers was "Little Fisherman" and mine was "Picklehead". Not sure if everyone we talked to loved us on there asking what everyone's 10-20 was, but we had fun. ha ha! Anyway, my handle represented me well. I LOVED PICKLES! And I still do!!! That's why when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it. Did it disappoint? Not at all! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 5 1/2 cup chicken broth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1-3/4 lbs potatoes, chopped small</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 2 cup carrots, diced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1 cup pickles, chopped small</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1/2 cup unsalted butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1 cup sour cream</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1/4 cup water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 2 cups pickle juice (I strained mine to remove the seeds)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1/2 tsp. pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- fresh dill</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add butter and when it's almost melted, add broth, potatoes, and carrots. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender. Add pickles and cook one minute. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, sour cream, and water, making a paste. Whisk sour cream mixture (a little at a time) into the soup. As you whisk, the little flour balls will disappear in the boiling soup and it will become very creamy. Add the pickle juice, Old Bay, and pepper. Stir and cook a few more minutes. Serve immediately with fresh dill on top. Enjoy!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 3 Tbs soy sauce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1/4 cup brown sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 2 Tbs balsamic vinegar </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 1/4 cup water</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- 2 Tbs corn starch + 4 Tbs water</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Set pressure cooker to saute' mode. Rub olive oil over pork tenderloin and then season with onion soup mix, pepper, and garlic powder. Use tongs to place tenderloin in the pot and brown on all sides. Whisk together, soy sauce, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and water. Add to the pot. Secure the lid and make sure the steam valve is closed. Set to PRESSURE COOK (on HIGH PRESSURE) for 10 minutes. When cook time is up, let natural release for 5 to 6 minutes, then turn the steam valve to the venting position. (I always use a towel to cover the steam vent so I don't get burned). Remove lid once float valve drops down. Remove pork from the Instant Pot and change the Instant Pot setting back to the saute' mode. Mix the corn starch and water in a little container and shake until dissolved. Add to the Instant Pot and whisk until the sauce starts to thicken. Slice tenderloin and serve with the scrumptious glaze on top. ENJOY!

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stop wrinkling your nose... it's good!!! Coconut milk, curry, and lemon juice are part of the reason this lively side dish is so tasty and healthy! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1/2 of a 15 oz. can of coconut milk (*See note)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 2 Tbs water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1 tsp. yellow curry powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1/2 tsp. salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1/4 tsp. ground turmeric</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 8 cups chopped collard greens</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1/2 Tbs lemon juice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 2 cups cooked sweet potato, cubed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a large sauce pan, heat coconut milk, water, curry, salt, and turmeric over medium-high heat to boiling. Add collard greens, and reduce heat to a lively simmer. Cover and cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until collards are tender. Stir in lemon juice and cooked sweet potatoes. Cook until heated through. Enjoy! If you'd like a printer-friendly version of this recipe, <a href="http://www.yagelski.com/piml/coconutcurrycollards.pdf">Click Here</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">*What do I do with the leftover coconut milk from the 15 oz. can? Well let me tell ya! You pour it into a small bowl or mason jar, add 1/2 cup chia seeds and 2 tablespoons of pure raw honey. Stir and cover. Put in fridge and enjoy a healthy chia seed pudding with fresh fruit for breakfast or a midday snack. It's incredible and very healthy. (Yes, coconut milk has fat, but it's good fat so no worries!) :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You really need to make this just for the "halibut". Get it? haha! A wonderfully easy meal you can make in minutes that tastes like it took you hours! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 2 Tbs olive oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1/4 cup shallots, diced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 2 garlic cloves, minced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1/2 tsp. salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1/2 tsp. pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1/2 tsp. yellow curry powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1, 14 oz. can of creamed corn</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 3 sprigs of thyme</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 1 cup of halved cocktail tomatoes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 3 Tbs butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- 2, 6 oz. Halibut fillets</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- fresh basil </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add salt, pepper, and curry powder and stir. Pour in can of creamed corn and add thyme sprigs and tomatoes. Cook until it starts to boil and then turn the burner off. Let set on burner (without heat) while preparing the halibut.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How to butter-baste your halibut: In another large skillet, heat butter over high heat. Once melted, add halibut. Let cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side while continually spooning hot butter on top of the fish. (You can tilt the skillet slightly to easily spoon the silky butter). The hot butter will cook the top of the fish without the need to flip the fish over. Keep spooning hot butter on top until the fish is done (opaque and fish flakes easily with a fork.) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remove thyme sprigs from creamed corn mixture and discard. Spoon creamed corn mixture in a dish and place the halibut on top. Add basil and enjoy!!!
