Jalapeno Stuffed Sweet Peppers!

Written By: Chris - May• 22•13

These are a twist on the typical jalapeno stuffed cream cheese peppers. I came up with these for a girls gathering because I was craving the spicy, rich little guys we usually make. I changed my typical recipe up a bit based on ingredients that I had on hand and they turned out absolutely delicious! I justify these little snacks because I use the “light” cream cheese and sour cream; as well as choose the lower fat bacon made from turkey… but I’m warning you… they’re absolutely addictive film aus mediathek downloaden!

Ingredients:

12-15 small Red, Orange & Yellow Sweet Peppers
8 oz tweakbox kan niet downloaden. Cream Cheese, room temp
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1/2 Package Fajita Seasoning Mix
1 small can HOT Jalapeno Peppers, chopped
1/2 lb download whatsapp report. Turkey Bacon

Cut the tops off of sweet peppers and remove seeds and membranes. If you are stuffing hot jalapeno’s and would like “less hot” skip the can of chopped peppers in the cheese mixture and boil the whole jalapeno’s in water for five to ten minutes (the longer you boil the peppers, the milder they become) snagit kostenlos herunterladen. Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside for stuffing. If using sweet peppers, skip that part!

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and seasoning packet together until blended. Add sour cream and mix until smooth. Stir in chopped peppers.

I was a cake decorator, so I “pipe” the cheese and jalapeno mixture into each pepper and place on roasting rack. (If you don’t have any pastry bags, you can use a sturdy zip lock bag, cutting a small hole in a corner or spoon the mixture into the peppers). Then lay a third to a half a piece of bacon over the top of each pepper and either bake or grill until the peppers are soft and the bacon is crisp. (About a half hour with medium high heat – 375-degrees)

I suggest making more than you think for servings, because they always go fat google earth free download windows 10!

Enjoy!

Written By: Chris - May• 21•13

Sweet potatoes, (commonly labeled as yams) are readily available, inexpensive, and delicious. They are a large, starchy, sweet-tasting root vegetable.

Their health and weight management benefits far exceed the nutritional value found in ordinary white and yellow fleshed potatoes.

White Wine Ranch Mushrooms

Written By: Chris - May• 08•13

I love mushrooms! Bill, not so much. So this is something I like to prepare when others are around and then I can share. When you understand that a mushroom “is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus” they really don’t sound so appealing, but they are really tasty and quite delicious! People who don’t care for them say that there is nothing good at all about them, but in fact they are pretty healthy. They are actually a good source of B vitamins, such as riboflavin, niacin, and the essential minerals, selenium, copper and potassium herunterladen. They are a low-calorie food usually eaten cooked or raw and used as garnish to meals. They are often referred to as the “meat” of the vegetable world. I will eat them raw, cooked, stuffed or just about any other way one might fix them! This is an easy, but delicious appetizer or topping for a steak or on chicken dfbnet spielplan herunterladen!

Ingredients:

2 pounds of Button Mushrooms (white or baby Bellas)
1/2 Stick Butter, melted
2 Garlic Cloves, pressed1/2 to whole package Ranch Dip Mix (Hidden Valley)
1-2 Cups White Wine

Melt Butter over medium high heat in skillet. Turn frequently until the buttons begin to brown and sear on all sides. Add smashed garlic and allow to cook for another two to three minutes Instagram photos download mac.

Add white wine and stir in ranch mix, stirring until dissolved. Simmer over medium heat until wine reduces by about a third cewe fotowelt.

I served these hot in a crock pot as an appetizer at a girls night!

Pork Tenderloin Crustini’s

Written By: Chris - May• 06•13

Crustini’s or “Crustini’s” are a go to appetizer for me. The word means “little toasts” and are an Italian appetizer consisting of small slices of grilled or toasted bread and toppings. Mine certainly aren’t always Italian ingredients and the toppings may include a variety of different meats, cheese and/or vegetables. They may be presented more simply with a brush of olive oil and herbs or sauce; or a combination of all of the above. Crustini’s are typically made using French or Italian baguettes or loafs of bread sliced and are often served with wine. I always base mine with what ingredients that I have on hand and at a recent gathering I created these bilderbuchkino herunterladen!

The Raspberry Sauce is readily available at CUB or Target, or you could go through the effort of making your own from scratch if you wanted. The kick from the dry rub goes well with the salty onion and cheese on the little pork medallions and the sweetness tops them perfectly! This is something you could create with left over pork fitbit desktop app herunterladen!

Ingredients:

Pork Tenderloin
Baguette Crustini’s
Olive Oil
Raspberry Chipotle Sauce
1 Large Onion, caramelized
2 Garlic Cloves, pressed
Salt & Pepper
Mozzarella Cheese

Dry Rub:
1 Tablespoon Herbs De Provence seasoning
1 Tablespoons Sweet Paprika
1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
1 Tablespoons Cayenne Pepper

Prepare the pork by trimming each tenderloin of any silver skin (this can be tough when cooked) Pat pork dry with paper towels and then, using your hands, rub the tenderloins all over with oil and sprinkle with the dry rub. Bake according to package directions. Most of us has eaten overcooked (and dry) pork tenderloin. To avoid overcooking, keep your oven temperature high (425 degree oven) download amazon app 10 euro. Then, only roast the pork for 10 to 15 minutes. Roast your pork until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers at about 145. Your pork will turn out juicy and slightly pink in the middle. It may be slightly pink inside, but I assure you it is safe Download the navigation app.

Once cooked, tent with foil and allow to rest before slicing. (The internal temperature of the meat usually increases). Cut baguette into the desired thickness and drizzle with olive oil. Bake or broil on one side ms office 2013 download kostenlos vollversion. In the mean time, saute onions (salted & peppered) and garlic until caramelized. Set aside to cool.

Turn toasts and top crusted side with a pork medallion and top with the onion. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake or broil until the bottom of crusts toast and the cheese melts and begins to brown herunterladen.

Serve with raspberry sauce on the side allowing folks to drizzle as much or as little as they like download mac os x 10.11!
