Six Cheese Quesadilla</h2>
<br />
<br />
Hello friends and fellow cooks. Today I am sharing with you a quick and easy recipe that is a personal favorite of mine, the Quesadilla. <br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is very simple to make and only needs a few simple ingredients. <br />
<br />
<br />
As a very busy mom of four children, ages 15 to 10 months, I don't have a lot of free time to make elaborate meals.<br />
<br />
<br />
Between diaper changes, bottles, home school, and appointments, I have to find meals that are quick and easy and still taste good. <br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe makes my top 10 for easy and quick and delicious. <br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is a favorite of mine not only for the convenience but also because it is made with simple ingredients that my body can handle.<br />
<br />
<br />
What do I mean by this? I suffer from a life long disease. Crohn's Disease. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you aren't familiar with Crohn's Disease, it is a long term inflammatory disease of the entire digestive system.<br />
<br />
<br />
There are some foods that my body just can't digest. If I were to eat any of these foods, it could put me on bed rest or land me in the hospital for a week on a nothing by mouth diet until my colon heals. <br />
<br />
<br />
I have had to learn to make and find foods that my body can handle. <br />
<br />
<br />
I love Taco Bell, but their food is made with other ingredients (seasoning included) that I can't eat.<br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is a perfect substitute if you love Quesadillas. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
A Perfect Substitute</h2>
<br />
<br />
If you love Quesadillas and Taco Bell, this recipe is a perfect substitute for you. <br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is made with only simple ingredients and if you are like me and suffer from digestive issues, should be easy for you to digest.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am always looking for and trying new things that my body can handle. <br />
<br />
<br />
Sometimes it doesn't always work out in my favor but I have to try. If it bothers me, I make a note in my food diary so I am sure to stay away from those foods.<br />
<br />
<br />
Over the years, I have learned what works best for me, for the most part, and I stick to it. <br />
<br />
<br />
I have always loved fast food, but sometimes there are hidden ingredients that I don't know about and it renders me unable to eat for days because I am in so much pain. <br />
<br />
<br />
It could be something so simple such as a seasoning. <br />
<br />
<br />
I have learned over the years that the best way for me to stay healthy and confident that what I am eating will digest easily, is to make my food myself. <br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
Simple, Easy and Filling</h2>
<br />
<br />
As a busy mom of four children, ages 15, 5, 3, and 10 months, I have very little free time. <br />
<br />
<br />
When lunchtime comes around in my house, it's chaos. <br />
<br />
<br />
Diapers need changing, toddlers are running through the house screaming at each other, and my oldest is needing help with homework. <br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is a go-to for me. In less than 20 minutes I can have 5 quesadillas made and cut, and on the table.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KP7nuBJDdQ8/XTiH548HkaI/AAAAAAAAJbw/T56-6SdP5qQK2FZtnbr8EgwfOcuamgTYwCLcBGAs/s1600/The%2BPossibilities%2Bare%2Bendless.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="576" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KP7nuBJDdQ8/XTiH548HkaI/AAAAAAAAJbw/T56-6SdP5qQK2FZtnbr8EgwfOcuamgTYwCLcBGAs/s1600/The%2BPossibilities%2Bare%2Bendless.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
You Can Change It Up</h2>
<br />
<br />
Another great thing about making a quesadilla at home is you can mix and match ingredients. <br />
<br />
<br />
You want just a plain cheese quesadilla, then follow this recipe just as it is.<br />
<br />
<br />
You want a chicken quesadilla, that's easy to do, just add some sliced or shredded chicken.<br />
<br />
<br />
You can make it spicy or tangy. <br />
<br />
<br />
Add some Jalapeno's or add some sliced avocados with a squeeze of lemon juice or lime juice. <br />
<br />
<br />
The possibilities are endless. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients</b><br />
<br />
2 tortillas per quesadilla<br />
1 (16 oz) package of six blend cheese<br />
nonstick cooking spray<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Preparation</b><br />
<br />
1. Heat a skillet (I used cast iron) to medium heat<br />
<br />
2. Spray the skillet with nonstick cooking spray<br />
<br />
3. Lay one tortilla flat in the bottom of the skillet<br />
<br />
4. Spread the six-cheese blend over the top of the tortilla<br />
<br />
5. Cover with another tortilla<br />
<br />
6. Once the bottom tortilla is browned on the bottom, flip it and brown the other side<br />
<br />
7. Once browned and the cheese is melted, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and rest it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 2 minutes before cutting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Optional</b>: You can add any other fillings you prefer. Sliced or shredded chicken, Olives, Avocados, pepperoni, sausage, chickpeas, etc.<br />
<br />
<b>Tips</b>: If you are making a variety tray of these for a party or for your family, I suggest putting one small piece of each filling on top so everyone knows what each one is filled with.<br />
For example: If you are making a tray of banana pepper filled quesadilla, then just top each one with a small piece of banana pepper. Or if you are making a red pepper filled one, then just top each one with a small slice of red pepper.<br />

My favorite breakfast is this delicious Country Breakfast Skillet. <br />
<br />
<br />
It is made with four ingredients. Very simple to make and is very hearty and filling. <br />

<h2><b>The Flavors Blend Perfectly</b></h2><br />
<br />
This recipe may be made with only four ingredients, but they blend so well. <br />
<br />
<br />
Every bite is juicy from the Kielbasa and the crispy crust from the rolls.<br />
<br />
<br />
The eggs give a soft bite and the cheese adds the perfect topping. <br />
<br />
<br />
Melted cheese in every bite. <br />

<b>Prep Time: 10 minutes<br />

Servings: 6 servings<br />
</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<h2><b>Instructions</b></h2><br />
1. Grease a cast iron skillet with either non-stick cooking spray or using a paper towel spread Crisco evenly over the entire inside of the skillet. <br />
<br />
2. Unroll the Crescent rolls and line the bottom of the skillet to create an even crust.<br />
<br />
3. Add the Kielbasa. I left the Kielbasa whole, in two sausages. I just layed one of each side of the skillet. You can chop it up if you prefer.<br />
<br />
4. Add the beaten eggs. <br />
<br />
5. Cover the top with the cheese slices.<br />
<br />
6. Add your seasonings. I chose to use Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Parsley. <br />

Dessert. One of the best parts of finishing a meal is knowing you are going to get dessert. <br />

<br />
<h2><b>Let Your Hands Do The Work</b></h2><br />
<br />
To make this recipe, it does require you to use your hands.<br />
<br />
<br />
I always loved that as a child, making recipes that required me to use my hands.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is the same concept as making a meatball. <br />
<br />
<br />
Just put a little bit in your hands and roll it into a ball. Easy!<br />
<br />
<br />
They do not need to be perfect either. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2><b>Easy To Mold Any Way</b></h2><br />
<br />
This recipe is easy to mold any way you want.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is perfect for sharing with others or bringing to a party or potluck.<br />
<br />
<br />
You can make them any size you want. <br />
<br />
<br />
Big for just you and the family, or small for sharing with a group. <br />

<br />
<br />
<h2><b>Cool And Dip</b></h2><br />
<br />
Before you begin dipping these babies into your melted chocolate there is one thing you can do to make this step a little easier.<br />
<br />
<br />
Stick your bowl of freshly made dough in the fridge for 20 minutes. <br />
<br />
<br />
This will make these so much easier to mold.<br />
<br />
<br />
This step will also keep the dough from sticking to your hands in the rolling process and also help the chocolate cover the balls better.<br />

<h2><b>Pick Your Chocolate</b></h2><br />
<br />
This recipe is perfect for any Holiday or Occasion. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you are making this for Christmas, try using white chocolate tinted red, and green sprinkles. <br />
<br />
<br />
For Easter, use pink tinted chocolate and drizzle cover white sprinkles. <br />
<br />
<br />
For the Fourth of July, use red tinted chocolate and drizzle with blue and white chocolate. <br />
<br />
<br />

<b>Prep Time: 10 minutes<br />
Total Time: 35 minutes<br />
Servings: 1 dozen<br />
</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<h2><b>Ingredients</b></h2><br />
1 C of Peanut Butter<br />
1/2 Cup of Hazelnut spread or Nutella<br />
2 Cups of Stevia<br />
1 Tsp of Vanilla<br />
1/2 Cup of Butter, softened<br />
1 C of Powdered Sugar<br />
1 1/2 Cups of Crispy Rice Cereal<br />
2 Cups of Chocolate Chips<br />
1/2 Cup of White Chocolate Chips<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2><b>Instructions</b></h2><br />
1. To begin, either in a mixer or by hand, combine Peanut Butter, Nutella, and softened butter. Mix until blended.<br />
<br />
2. Add the Stevia, Powdered Sugar, and Vanilla. Mix well.<br />
<br />
3. Fold in the crispy cereal.<br />
<br />
4. Refrigerate dough for 20 minutes. You can either place the bowl in the fridge or transfer the dough to another container, but not necessary.<br />
<br />
5. Begin forming the balls. Place a small amount of dough in your hand, about 2 Tbsp worth, and roll it between your hands in a circular motion until it forms a ball. If you have ever made meatballs, it is the exact same concept.<br />
<br />
6. Place the balls on a Silpat lined cookie sheet or a foil lined cookie sheet sprayed lightly with non-stick spray.<br />
<br />
7. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in a large bowl. Melt them by heating 30 seconds, stir, and then another 10 seconds repeatedly until completely melted.<br />
<br />
8. Roll the balls in the melted chocolate, letting the extra chocolate drip off before placing the ball back on the cookie sheet to set. I used my hand during this part, but if you prefer to use two spoons you can.<br />
<br />
9. Once the balls have been covered in chocolate and set, drizzle some melted white chocolate over the top of each ball. Allow them to set completely before serving.<br />
<br />

<h2><b>A Celebrated Tradition</b></h2><br />
<br />
Cinco De Mayo is a celebrated day in history.<br />
<br />
<br />
Dating all the way back to 1862, May 5th, the Mexican Army was victorious in the battle against the French Empire. <br />
<br />
<br />
The Mexican Army was smaller than the French force giving them a boost in their morale.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, a year after the victorious battle, a larger French force started a second battle and unfortunately was victorious causing the Mexican city to fall.<br />
<br />
<br />
Since then, the day has become celebrated not only in Mexico but now more so in America. <br />
<br />
<br />
It is a celebration now of Mexican-American culture. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2><b>How Is It Celebrated</b></h2><br />
<br />
Today this day is celebrated in many ways.<br />
<br />
<br />
There are parades, music, folkloric dancing, battle re-enactments, and of course, food!<br />
<br />
<br />
This celebrated day became most popular in the 1980s nationwide mostly from advertising from beer and wine companies. <br />
<br />
<br />
Today, this day brings in as much beer sales as Super Bowl. <br />
<br />
<br />
In the city of Puebla, where the battle took place all those years ago, the day is celebrated with art festivals, food, and re-enactments. <br />
<br />

<h2><b>This Recipe is full of flavor</b></h2><br />
<br />
This recipe I am sharing with you is made with fresh organic ingredients along with a spice blend. <br />
<br />
<br />
All these elements come together in one delicious flavor. <br />
<br />
<br />
The men in my family prefer a lot of spice so these are spicy. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you do not prefer a lot of spice, you can definitely omit some of these spicy ingredients.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2><b>Choose your meat</b></h2><br />
<br />
For this recipe, I chose to use leftover cooked boneless chicken breasts (shredded) that I had prepared a day prior. <br />
<br />
<br />
The chicken combined with the spice blend and fresh ingredients made this dish so delicious. <br />
<br />
<br />
When I first made this recipe, I was shocked at how fast it was eaten. <br />
<br />
<br />
There was nothing left an hour later. <br />
<br />
<br />
You can definitely switch out the meat if you like. <br />
<br />
You can use beef, pork, veal, lamb or chicken. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2><b>Ingredients</b></h2><br />
2 1/2 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil<br />
2 or 3 large sized boneless skinless Chicken Breasts<br />
1 tsp of Salt<br />
1 tsp of freshly ground Black Pepper<br />
1 1/2 tsp of Cumin Powder<br />
2 1/2 tsp of Garlic Powder<br />
2 Tsp of Mexican Spice Blend<br />
2 Scallions, chopped and diced<br />
3 Garlic Cloves, minced<br />
1 1/2 cups of frozen Corn, thawed<br />
1 (4 oz) can of diced Green Chiles<br />
1 (4 oz) can of Chipotle Chiles, diced<br />
1 (16 oz) can of stewed whole tomatoes, drained and diced<br />
1 tsp of All-Purpose Flour<br />
2 cans of Enchilada sauce (mild or medium)<br />
10 Flour Tortillas<br />
2 cups of shredded Mexican Cheese Blend<br />
2 Cilantro leaves for garnish<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2><b>Instructions</b></h2><br />
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees<br />
<br />
2. Drizzle Olive Oil in a skillet and allow to heat<br />
<br />
3. I used already cooked Chicken Breasts but if yours are not cooked, cook them first in another skillet until they reach at least 165 degrees. Once Chicken is cooked, shred it and then add it to your skillet with the heated olive oil.<br />
<br />
4. Add the Cumin, Garlic Powder and Mexican Spice Blend and mix well. Allow cooking for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. <br />
<br />
5. Remove the chicken and spice blend from the skillet and set aside in another dish.<br />
<br />
6. In the same skillet that you cooked the chicken in, saute the minced garlic and onion in the drippings from the chicken. <br />
<br />
7. Add your chicken back to the skillet with the sauteed garlic and onion. Then add your chiles and your tomatoes. Mix to combine.<br />
<br />
8. Sprinkle the flour over the top and stir to incorporate. This will help thicken your mixture for stuffing your tortillas. <br />
<br />
9. Using a ladle, spread some of the Enchilada sauce all over the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. <br />
<br />
10. In a large bowl, pour in the remaining Enchilada sauce. Coat each tortilla with the sauce and lay flat on a plate to begin stuffing and rolling. Spoon a nice amount in the middle of each tortilla and fold over the filling until completely folded. Lay seam side down in the baking dish on top of Enchilada sauce. <br />
<br />
11. Top with the remaining sauce and then the cheese.<br />
<br />
12. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and golden brown. <br />
<br />
13. Garnish with sour cream and chopped cilantro. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Tip</b>: This dish is best served over a bed of Spanish yellow rice with refried beans on the side. <br />

<h2><b>A Little History</b></h2><br />
<br />
The Kentucky Derby is a horse race that is done at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. <br />
<br />
<br />
It is held on the first Saturday in May every year. <br />
<br />
<br />
It is a race performed by Thoroughbreds spanning a distance of one and a quarter mile. <br />
<br />
<br />
The very first derby was performed at Churchill Downs on May 17, 1875. <br />
<br />
<br />
10,000 people attended and watched the very first derby race.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2><b>How It All Began</b></h2><br />
<br />
Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr. was the grandson of General William Clark, from the Lewis and Clark expedition. <br />
<br />
<br />
He was the son of Meriwether Lewis Clark, Sr. and Abigail Prather Churchill. <br />
<br />
<br />
His mother Abigail was from one of the very first families in Kentucky. <br />
<br />
<br />
Moving to Lousiville is 1787, they purchased 300 acres of land south of the city. <br />
<br />
<br />
Meriwether Jr later lived with his aunt and uncle after his mother passed. His aunt and uncle donated the land in which Churchill Downs was built. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2><b>Tradition</b></h2><br />
<br />
Growing up in Kentucky myself, I am very familiar with the Kentucky Derby.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is a celebrated event in my family. My father frequently visits Churchill Downs to watch horse racing. <br />
<br />
<br />
Every year we have a derby party. <br />
<br />
<br />
There is always a spread of food and friends and family will come and we have a great time betting on the horses and enjoying the food. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now that I am a mother I am carrying on the tradition in my home and I now host my own derby party.<br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is one I have on my table every year and it always is one of the first things to go. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2><b>Fast and Easy</b></h2><br />
<br />
On my table for a derby party, I have a nice spread.<br />
<br />
<br />
It can be time-consuming when you are hosting an event and have to do all the cooking.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have bbq and spicy hot wings, deviled eggs, Italian pasta salad, along with some extra pick foods. <br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is also on my table. It takes no time at all to make and is made from very simple ingredients. <br />
<br />
<br />
There is no cooking involved here. Just chill it and serve. Easy!<br />
<br />
<br />

This soup is so rich in flavor and coats your pallet.<br />
<br />
<br />
Your tastebuds savor every single sip of this creamy broccoli soup. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is a perfect soup to make for company, your family, or for a potluck.<br />

<h2>
<b>Sauteed Onion</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
One ingredient that I always use in most of my soups made from scratch is an onion.<br />
<br />
<br />
This ingredient is not a must have if you do not prefer onions or you don't like them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sauteed onion adds so much flavor to a dish, not to mention texture.<br />
<br />
<br />
I only saute the onion enough to make it golden brown and slightly soft. <br />
<br />
<br />
Onions are very low in calories, but extremely rich in minerals and vitamins.<br />
<br />
<br />
Onions are heart healthy, help to aid in blood sugar levels, helps fight cancer, and believe it or not, help with digestive health.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Fresh Garlic</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
For this recipe, I prefer to use fresh garlic. <br />
<br />
<br />
You can use garlic powder or granulated garlic, but nothing compares to a fresh chopped garlic clove.<br />
<br />
<br />
Again I only saute the garlic just enough until it is golden brown and slightly soft. <br />
<br />
<br />
Garlic has some wonderful benefits as well. <br />
<br />
<br />
Garlic benefits weight loss. It can help with blood pressure and help fight sickness such as the common cold. <br />
<br />

<b>Make a Roux</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Making a roux is helpful in many different recipes.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is a simple mixture of melted butter and flour that aides as a thickener. <br />
<br />
<br />
Roux is very simple to make. <br />
<br />
<br />
Just melt some butter in a pan add a little bit of flour and mix with a whisk until it begins getting slightly thick.<br />

<h2>
<b>Making Creamy Soup</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
This soup is so creamy and delicious.<br />
<br />
<br />
Getting this soup to be so creamy is not hard.<br />
<br />
<br />
I add half and half instead of milk.<br />
<br />
<br />
There are many dinner recipes using half and half. <br />
<br />
<br />
The reason I choose to use half and half is that it contains more fat than milk but less fat than heavy cream. <br />
<br />
<br />
This helps give this soup its creamy texture. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Bringing it all together</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
After adding your half and half, chop your broccoli into bite-size pieces. <br />
<br />
<br />
Remember to rinse your vegetables prior to using them. <br />
<br />
<br />
Chop your carrots into smaller than bite-size pieces. <br />
<br />
<br />
Add your broccoli, carrots and the sauteed garlic and onion and let the soup simmer. <br />
<br />
<br />
This will make the broccoli and carrots to get tender. <br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Cheddar Inventions</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
I don't know about you, but I love cheese!<br />
<br />
<br />
Cheese is used is many different recipes and adds such amazing flavor.<br />
<br />
<br />
There are so many different varieties of cheese. <br />
<br />
<br />
For this recipe, I choose to use freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese. <br />
<br />
<br />
Melting this cheese into the soup adds the finishing touch. <br />
<br />
<br />
The flavor is mind-blowing.<br />
<br />

And for some of us, we still have not been out shopping for our little ones.<br />
<br />
<br />
You have to get the basket, the Easter Grass, the filled eggs for egg hunts, not to mention the candy to go with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
After adding all that up, it can get expensive. Especially if you have more than one child to buy for.<br />
<br />
<br />
Or maybe you just didn't have time to go shopping because of work or other things kept you from it.<br />

<br />
I am sharing with you today a hack that will save you time and money.<br />

<h2>
<b>All You Need Is Basic Ingredients</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
These <b>Chocolate treats</b> are made with basic ingredients and they take <b>no time at all</b> to prepare. <br />
<br />
<br />
No need to be in the kitchen for hours prepping and baking when this is a <b>no-bake delicious treat</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Another great benefit of this recipe is it will <b>save you money</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
No need to spend a lot of money at the store on already made Chocolates when you can make them in your own kitchen.<br />

<h2>
Be Creative</h2>
<br />
<br />
I have seen decorative candies and Chocolates growing up that are so detailed. <br />
<br />
<br />
These treats have to be so hard to make right? Wrong.<br />
<br />
<br />
All you need is a <b>paintbrush</b>, <b>melted chocolate</b>, and a <b>mold</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />
The white chocolate for this recipe is perfect for tinting with <b>food coloring</b> and making your own colored Chocolates.<br />
<br />
<br />
All you need is a little coating on the bottom of each mold to give it some <b>color and decoration</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
Fill The Mold</h2>
<br />
<br />
When it comes to baking, I have learned a lot about which things work the best.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have had my fair share of mistakes, but that just comes with the territory. <br />
<br />
<br />
I have used lots of different chocolate products for baking and I have to tell you one specific item I cannot live without.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Bakers Chocolate</b>! It has become my number one melting chocolate of choice and is perfect for this recipe.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just melt the chocolate, add a little sugar to make it sweet because this specific chocolate is unsweetened, and then fill your molds after you have painted them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Easy as 1-2-3! <br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Let Them Set And Viola! </b></h2>
<br />
<br />
This recipe is really one of the <b>easiest baking projects</b> I have ever done. <br />
<br />
<br />
You just need a paintbrush and any mold of your choice. <br />
<br />
<br />
Any fine paintbrush would do. <br />
<br />
<br />
Once you paint your decor on the molds, simply pour in the melted chocolate to the rim and then set them in the refrigerator or freezer to harden the chocolate.<br />
<br />
<br />
That is it! Once they are set, remove them carefully from the mold and you have a <b>homemade Chocolate treat</b>. <br />

<h2>
<b>Homemade Is Best</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
There are two great things about making your very own Chocolate treats.<br />
<br />
<br />
It makes <b>Easter more special</b> because you made your kids Easter treats. <br />
<br />
<br />
It is more personal.<br />
<br />
<br />
Another great thing about making your own Easter candy is you don't have to worry about your kids getting any extra <b>unwanted ingredients</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />
This will turn into a tradition for you and your family. <br />
<br />
<br />
It can also turn into a creative project for your kids to give to their friends or make for themselves. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Ingredients</b></h2>
<br />
Any Easter Mold you choose<br />
Sugar to taste for Bakers Chocolate or use a sugar substitute<br />
2 (4 oz) boxes of Bakers Unsweetened Chocolate<br />
1 (8 oz) bag of white melting chips (already is sweetened)<br />
1 small paintbrush<br />
Food coloring<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Instructions</b></h2>
<br />
1. Divide your white melting chips into four individual bowls. I used only 4 colors for these candies so that is why I used 4 bowls. <br />
<br />
<br />
2. Begin melting your white chocolate chips one bowl at a time. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Microwave an additional 10 seconds and again until it is melted, stirring between each interval. After the first bowl is melted add 4 drops of food coloring and stir well to make the color you desire. Once you have the color you like, using your small paintbrush, begin painting with that specific color to add decoration and detail to your molds. For example, if you are using blue coloring, then you can paint the eyes on the Easter bunnies or paint the ribbons blue. You do not need to add a lot of color, just enough to give it some tint. Once you are satisfied with using that color in all your molds, place the mold in the refrigerator for a couple minutes to set the icing. While you are waiting for the icing to set, rinse your paintbrush and dry with a paper towel or napkin. Melt your next bowl of white chocolate chips and begin the next color. Repeat this step until you are done adding all your detail to the molds. <br />
<br />
<br />
3. Melt your Bakers Chocolate the same way you did the White chocolate, 30 seconds and then 10-second intervals until it is completely melted, stirring between each interval but this time add some sugar to your melted Bakers Chocolate because it is unsweetened. Without adding sugar to Bakers Chocolate it is very bitter. Just add enough sugar and give a little taste if it needs more than add a touch more, and keep testing it until the flavor is right for you. After the chocolate is melted and sweetened, using a small spoon, add your melted chocolate to each mold that you painted. Fill them to the top. Smooth out the top.<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until chocolate is completely set. <br />
<br />
<br />
5. Gently remove the chocolates from the molds. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Tips: If you want to add just white paint to a mold for coloring, then do not tint one bowl of your white chocolates. Use the white melted chocolate to add tint to eyes or eggs, and then tint the white chocolate after to add color. <br />
<br />
Another great tip is that you can make these ahead of time. Just refrigerate them until you are ready to serve them or put them in your children's Easter baskets.<br />

<br />
<br />
This is a wonderful way to get your little ones excited and ready for Easter. I hope you try these and enjoy them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Ingredients</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
One 8 pack of Bunny Marshmallow Peeps<br />
One package of white chocolate covered Flipz pretzels<br />
One Package of Twinkies <br />
8 Miniature Oreo cookies<br />
One container of white frosting <br />
Sprinkles (you can choose any color you like, I went with green and pink for Easter)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Instructions</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
1. Cut a small portion out of the top of each Twinkie. You will need enough space for a Bunny Peep and a Pretzel. (Best for parents to do this part. No knives for the little ones)<br />
<br />
2. Separate each miniature Oreo and remove the white filling. <br />
<br />
<br />
3. Dab a little white frosting onto each miniature Oreo and stick it on each side of the Twinkie. These are going to be your wheels. The frosting is your glue.<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Dip the top of each Flipz pretzel into the frosting just to coat it a little. Then dip the frosted side of the pretzel in your sprinkles. Let sit for 5 minutes to set.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Insert one frosted and sprinkled pretzel into the top of each Twinkie where you cut out the hole. The pretzel is going to be your steering wheel. <br />
<br />
<br />
6. Insert one Marshmallow Bunny Peep behind each pretzel in the Twinkie and you have a completed Easter Bunny Car. <br />

2/3 Cup of Hershey's Cocoa<br />
3 Cups of Granulated Sugar<br />
1/8 Tsp of Salt<br />

<h2>
<b>How Did Fudge Come To Be?</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Have you ever thought of where and how Fudge came to be?<br />
<br />
<br />
Although it is unclear, it is believed to be an American Invention. <br />
<br />
<br />
It is told that Fudge was created by accident. <br />
<br />
<br />
Apparently, it was discovered from a batch of Caramels gone wrong. <br />
<br />
<br />
Once Fudge was developed, it was sold at 40 cents a pound. <br />
<br />
<br />
However, this was back in 1886. <br />
<br />
<br />
The recipe was then bought and found its way into homes and schools. <br />
<br />
<br />
From there it was developed into individual recipes each having its own flavor and texture.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Temperature Is Key In Making This Smooth Delicate Treat</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
When it comes to making this sweet smooth decadent treat, the perfect temperature is key.<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course, achieving this perfect temperature is hard to do without knowing exactly what temperature your fudge is at.<br />
<br />
<br />
Luckily for us, there is a special tool sold in most department stores that help us reach this specific temperature. <br />
<br />
<br />
A Candy Thermometer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Achieving the perfect temperature will separate the hard caramels from the fudge itself resulting in that thick but smooth texture. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jFBF5hjzZcc/XLKiUoqj5eI/AAAAAAAAJP0/hscWd65KrVQGDFQhIgz6LcDCU04apIquACLcBGAs/s1600/DSCN1200%2B%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A picture of butter being used to grease a dish" border="0" data-original-height="1173" data-original-width="1600" height="469" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jFBF5hjzZcc/XLKiUoqj5eI/AAAAAAAAJP0/hscWd65KrVQGDFQhIgz6LcDCU04apIquACLcBGAs/s640/DSCN1200%2B%25282%2529.JPG" title="Old Fashioned Fudge Recipe" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>You Have To Be Swift</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
After you reach the perfect temperature for your Fudge recipe, here is where you need to be swift. <br />
<br />
<br />
You will need to immediately grab a hefty wooden spoon and whip that Fudge! <br />
<br />
<br />
While you are whipping the Fudge, it is going to thicken up, fast. <br />
<br />
<br />
Once you whip it, you need to transfer the Fudge to a baking dish before it completely sets up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Greasing your dish with a stick of butter will prevent the Fudge from sticking and will come out perfect. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Best Baking Dishes</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Choosing the right dish will determine how thick or thin your Fudge will be.<br />
<br />
<br />
I personally prefer a thicker piece of Fudge but to each their own.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you choose a 9 x 13 baking dish, after spreading your Fudge you will end up with a thinner piece.<br />
<br />
<br />
I used a 9 x 9 and I had nice thick pieces.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't worry too much about how smooth the top of my Fudge looks after spreading it out, I care more about the taste.<br />
<br />
<br />
Once you transfer it to your baking dish, you can literally use a butter knife and gently start cutting it and it will break into pieces. <br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Perfect for the Holiday!</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Old fashioned <b>fudge</b> is perfect for any holiday. <br />
<br />
<br />
Get creative and even add little colored sprinkles to match your theme.<br />
<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter if it 4th of July or Christmas, top it with your favorite colors.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Ingredients</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
2/3 Cup of Hershey's Cocoa<br />
3 Cups of Granulated Sugar<br />
1/8 Tsp of Salt<br />
1 1/2 Cups of Milk<br />
2 Tbsp of Salted Butter<br />
1 Tsp of Vanilla<br />
1/4 Cup of Peanut Butter (Crunchy or Creamy works)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Instructions</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
1. Start by choosing the dish you want to use. Grease the bottom and the sides of the dish with butter. This will help to keep the Fudge from sticking. <br />
<br />
<br />
2. Combine your cocoa powder, sugar, salt and milk in a medium to a large saucepan. Stir with a wire whisk to completely blend. Don't use a small saucepan, it will boil over and you will have a big mess.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Bring to a boil and then add your candy thermometer. Boil until it reaches 260 degrees F, or Hard Ball stage. Some recipes call for 240 degrees or Soft Ball stage, but this recipe you need to bring it to 260 degrees. Using a wire whisk, give it a good stir periodically during this process, to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom. <br />
<br />
<br />
4. Once it reaches 260 degrees, immediately remove from the heat and add your butter, vanilla, and peanut butter. Now pick up that wooden spoon and stir vigorously! It's going to start getting thick but keep on stirring. You want the fudge to lose it's glossy color and look more like a matte. <br />
<br />
<br />
5. After you finish stirring your Fudge and it is now a Matte color, then you want to quickly transfer it to your buttered dish. You have to be fast here because this Fudge will set up very quickly. After transferring it to your dish, spread it out as best you can. It may be set up at this point so if it isn't completely flat and smooth on the top do not worry. It is still going to be delicious and that is what is important. <br />
<br />
<br />
6. Once the Fudge is completely set, cut into pieces. This Fudge is very good at breaking on its own, so you may be able to literally insert a butter knife and it will begin breaking for you.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
There are so many ways to eat Cabbage.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cabbage Soups, Baked Cabbage, Roasted Cabbage, Brussel Sprouts.<br />
<br />
<br />
A favorite of mine is Stuffed Cabbage.<br />
<br />
<br />
There are hundreds of different cabbages grown worldwide, each carrying its own color and texture.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cabbage is one of the very best vegetables you could eat.<br />
<br />
<br />
The benefits of this leafy green are major.<br />
<br />
<br />
Cabbage has been known to help prevent Type 2 Diabetes. Did you know that?<br />
<br />
<br />
It is full of antioxidants which links it to decreasing several cardiovascular diseases.<br />
<br />
<br />
Another great benefit of this healthy vegetable is it contains Sinigrin.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sinigrin has been shown to have properties that aid in the prevention of different cancers.<br />
<br />
<br />
If cabbage hasn't been on your list of foods, it is highly recommended.<br />

<h2>
<b>Fresh Is Best</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Starting with <b>fresh Cabbage</b> is key to making this <b>tasty dish</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />
Of course, not all of us have the time or the means to grow Cabbage fresh in our back yard.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's ok! Choosing the right Cabbage from the store will help. <br />
<br />
<br />
Look for one that has no wilted leaves, looks nice and <b>crisp</b> and light green. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Soften The Leaves</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Softening the leaves will make them easier to work with. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Simply</b> cut off the stem from the bottom, and the leaves should be pulled off <b>easily</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />
Boil them in a large pot of water with a sprinkle of salt. <br />
<br />
<br />
Boil no more than 2 to 3 minutes and they should be perfect. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Prep The Leaves</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Before you start rolling these babies, you need to remove any pieces of stem that are left behind. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is simple, just cut a small triangle out of the bottom of each leaf.<br />
<br />
<br />
Doing this step will make it much easier to roll and help <b>hold together</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Time to Fill</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
For this recipe, I use <b>Beef</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />
If Beef is not something you like or want, feel free to use a different meat. <br />
<br />
<br />
You could use shredded <b>Chicken</b>, <b>Sausage</b>, or even <b>Lamb</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Get Rolling</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Rolling these <b>delicious</b> filled Cabbage leaves might seem tricky, but it is quite simple. <br />
<br />
<br />
Think of rolling up a Burrito. Tucking in the sides as you roll it up. <br />
<br />
<br />
It's the same concept. The perfect roll holds the <b>yummy filling</b> inside. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YMZg3CDAWmk/XLAddsitPmI/AAAAAAAAJOM/JnWIhywfwhsrQuYjtZB7coi6_hblAKmfACLcBGAs/s1600/Stuffed%2BCabbage%2BPic%2B6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A picture of a dish with freshly made cabbage rolls" border="0" data-original-height="1355" data-original-width="1600" height="542" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YMZg3CDAWmk/XLAddsitPmI/AAAAAAAAJOM/JnWIhywfwhsrQuYjtZB7coi6_hblAKmfACLcBGAs/s640/Stuffed%2BCabbage%2BPic%2B6.jpg" title="Stuffed Cabbage Rolls" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Line Them Up</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Once all your leaves are stuffed and rolled, line them in a baking dish. <br />
<br />
<br />
Placing them open side down will ensure they do not come apart while cooking. <br />
<br />
<br />
Using a disposable pan is <b>helpful</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is less mess, just toss it when you are done. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>The Finishing Touch</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
For the final touch on your Cabbage rolls, is the delicious savory <b>Tomato Herb sauce</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />
This sauce adds the <b>perfect balance</b> between the cabbage, the meat filling, and pulls it all together in one <b>delicious bite</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />
I recommend using <b>fresh Tomatoes</b> if you have them, but it isn't necessary.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>That Savory Topping</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Once you have prepared that savory Tomato sauce, spread that <b>delicious sauce</b> all over the top of your rolls. <br />
<br />
<br />
As it bakes, the sauce will <b>thicken and coat</b> each roll.<br />
<br />
<br />
Every bite, you will get the <b>perfect taste</b> of Cabbage, meat, and sauce. <br />

<br />
<b>The Cabbage Rolls</b><br />
<br />
10 to 15 Cabbage Leaves <br />
1 pound of Ground Beef<br />
1/4 cup of uncooked White Rice<br />
1/4 Cup of Italian Bread Crumbs<br />
2 Tbsp of Parsley<br />
2 Tbsp of Parmesan<br />
2 Tsp of Oregano<br />
2 Tsp of Garlic Powder<br />
1 Tsp of Salt<br />
1 Tsp of Black Pepper<br />
<br />
<b>The Sauce</b><br />
<br />
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil<br />
1/2 Onion, finely chopped<br />
3 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped<br />
1 (6oz) can of Tomato paste<br />
1 (28oz) can of diced Tomatoes<br />
2 Tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar<br />
2 Tsp of Basil<br />
2 Tsp of Oregano<br />
2 Tsp of Parsley<br />
2 Tsp of Thyme<br />
2 Tsp of Garlic Powder<br />
1 Tsp of Salt<br />
1 Tsp of Black Pepper<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Instructions</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.<br />
<br />
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.<br />
<br />
3. Boil Cabbage leaves for 2 to 3 minutes just to soften them. Remove them from the water and let drain on a paper towel lined tray.<br />
<br />
4. In a large skillet, add Olive Oil and heat. Watch carefully not to overheat because Olive Oil will burn. <br />
<br />
5. Once skillet is hot, add your Onion and Garlic. Saute until soft, translucent and slightly golden brown.<br />
<br />
6. Add Tomato Paste. Stir. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes<br />
<br />
7. Add Tomatoes, Vinegar, and spices. Stir. Simmer for 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
8. While the sauce is simmering, cut the stem off of the bottom of the cabbage. Immerse the cabbage into the boiling water and boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, gently tug at the leaves until they pull away from the cabbage. Repeat this step until you have a nice bunch of leaves. Place the leaves on a paper towel lined tray to drain. <br />
<br />
9. Time to make the filling. In a large bowl raw ground beef, 1 cup of the sauce, rice, bread crumbs, and spices. Mix until blended well. <br />
<br />
10. Using a paring knife cut a triangular piece from the bottom of each cabbage leaf, removing any left behind stem. <br />
<br />
Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of your baking dish. <br />
<br />
11. Place a 1/4 cup of the filling at the top of each cabbage leaf. Gently start rolling the leaf. Roll the top of the leaf over the meat, and give a gentle squeeze to form the meat. Continue rolling the leaf tucking in the sides as you roll it. Once completely rolled, place open side down in the bottom of your dish. Repeat this step until all rolls are done. <br />
<br />
12. Spoon the remaining sauce over the top of each cabbage roll. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. <br />
<br />
13. Garnish with Parmesan and serve. <br />

<b>Blueberry Muffins</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
I just love the blueberry season, when I was a young girl, I use to go out and pick them fresh in Upstate, New York.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I buy them <b>fresh</b> and actually freeze them when the season has them in abundance in local farmers markets.<br />
<br />
<br />
They are so easy to store, just pick off the stems, wash them, and place in zip lock freezer bags.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now you can make <b>muffins</b> throughout the whole year.<br />
<br />
<br />
Making muffins, is one of our families favorite breakfast requests.<br />
<br />
<br />
These become one of our very <b>favorites</b> because they taste fantastic.<br />

<h2>
<b>Using Oil Sprays</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
I am not a fan of using <b>liner papers</b> for my muffins.<br />
<br />
<br />
I spray the pan heavily or <b>grease</b> it with shortening.<br />

<h2>
<b>Blend Gently</b></h2>
<br />
Make sure you have the <b>wet ingredients</b> in one bowl and the <b>dry</b> in another.<br />
<br />
<br />
This mixture gently folds together, leaving lumps, lumps are good!<br />
<br />
<br />
The less you stir when the mixture comes together the better!<br />
<br />
<br />
Fold in the <b>blueberries</b> last.<br />

<h2>
<b>Very Thick Batter</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
The <b>batter</b> is very thick and easy to fill the muffin cups using either a large tablespoon or ice cream scoop.<br />
<br />
<br />
I prefer using a scoop this way they are all the same size.<br />

<h2>
<b>My Secrets and Tips</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Fold the batter gently using two bowls for wet and dry ingredients</li>
<li>Paper liners sometimes stick to the muffins so use them after they are cooked for presentation</li>
<li>Sprinkle them with sugar after they cook, still warm from the oven, then it won't crystalize</li>
<li>Use an ice cream scoop to make even sized muffins</li>
</ul>

<br />
Whether you are new to cooking or you are experienced, this cereal bar is so easy to prepare that anyone could make this. <br />
<br />
We have all been there I am sure, having leftover cereal in the pantry that is going to go stale soon.<br />
<br />
As a mom of 4 children, I always have leftover cereal in my pantry.<br />
<br />
My kids change their minds daily on which cereal they like to eat, so I typically buy two or three different brands of cereal when I do my grocery shopping.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, a box or two doesn't get finished. I don't like to waste food so I try to find new ways to use it.<br />
<br />
This recipe was created in my kitchen on my first attempt and they came out so incredibly good that they did not last two days.<br />
<br />
I even had company visit the day after I made these and they were raving about how good these were and wanted me to make more for them. Yes, they are <b>THAT GOOD!</b><br />
<br />
Give this recipe a try the next time you are deciding what to do with that leftover cereal. <br />
<br />

<b>Butter Is Essential, Skip The Margarine</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Should you use <b>Butter or Margarine</b>? Though both are used for the same purpose, butter is a must.<br />
<br />
<br />
Although both are alright to use in many recipes, they are not made from the same things. <br />

<h2>
<b>Growing up my family always used margarine.</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
I never really knew them the difference between butter and margarine, I assumed they were pretty much the same thing. <br />
<br />
<br />
I remember the first time I used actual butter in a recipe. I was amazed at the difference in taste and texture. <br />
<br />
<br />
You see, <b>Margarine is a non-dairy substitute</b> for butter. Its main component is vegetable oil.<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Butter is Better</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<b>Butter is made from animal fat</b>. It is simply churned cow's milk. The fat is separated from the liquid during the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
Since butter is made from one ingredient, it can be made at home. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is why I choose Butter for <b>all my recipes</b>. It is going to make the flavor so much better and it's healthier for you. <br />

<b>Melted Marshmallows, YUM</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Pretty much everyone in the world knows what a Marshmallow is. <br />
<br />
<br />
Those <b>soft</b> and <b>sweet</b> pillows of yummy goodness. <br />
<br />
<br />
Growing up in the bluegrass hills of Kentucky, bonfires were an every weekend event. <br />
<br />
<br />
We go out and find a small branch, snap it off a tree and trim the end so we have a perfect marshmallow roasting stick.<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Do You Love Marshmallow</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
I will never forget the first time I had a roasted marshmallow. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The flavor was sinful!</b> But what are marshmallows and how do they melt so easily?<br />
<br />
<br />
Marshmallows are made from <b>dissolved sugar</b> and <b>water</b> which is then whipped to create air pockets in the sugary solution. <br />
<br />
<br />
Kind of the same technique you would use to make whipped cream from scratch. <br />
<br />
<br />
But what makes them hold together and make them so spongy soft and melt perfectly when applied to heat. <br />
<br />
<br />
One simple ingredient.<b> Corn Syrup.</b> <br />
<br />
<br />
Now you know what makes these puffy edible pillows come to be.<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>A Perfect Treat For Kids</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
If you have kids, chances are they sometimes will have cereal for breakfast.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have four children, so cereal is a <b>must have</b> in my home. <br />
<br />
<br />
Being a full-time mom and recipe developer and blogger, cereal is a <b>quick alternative</b> on those busy mornings when I don't have time to make pancakes or eggs.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<h2>
<b>The Kids Love These</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
My kids also don't share the same likes when it comes to cereal.<br />
<br />
<br />
So when grocery shopping, I have one asking for Cheerios while another is asking for Froot Loops. <br />
<br />
<br />
I always go through my pantry to make a list before I go shopping to see exactly what I need to buy.<br />
<br />
<br />
I find one to two boxes of opened cereal that are going to go stale soon so I am figuring in my head how I can <b>reuse what is left</b> so nothing goes to waste. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is a <b>perfect and easy way</b> to use that leftover cereal and your kids will eat it.<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Get Creative with Cereal</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
So it's kind of a win-win. <br />
<br />
<br />
Almost any cereal would work for this recipe. <br />
<br />
<br />
I made this delicious treat on my first attempt and they came out fantastic.<br />
<br />
<br />
There is nothing to it and it is not time-consuming to prepare. <br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Any Dish Would Work</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
When it comes to making this <b>delicious treat</b>, there really is no wrong way to make it. <br />
<br />
<br />
In this recipe, I chose to use a 9x13 baking dish to press my cereal bars into. <br />
<br />
<br />
But <b>any dish</b> would work. <br />
<br />
<br />
A square dish, a round dish, or even using a mold would work. <br />
<br />
<br />
For instance, if I made this around <b>Christmas</b>, I would use a Christmas Tree mold pan and press my cereal bars into it and shape it like a tree.<br />
<br />
<br />
Or a Star Mold. <br />
<br />
<br />
Simply spray your mold with a little non-stick baking spray and it should be easy to remove from the mold.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bLyDoVbkS_E/XJWswnvbQII/AAAAAAAAJHs/bLdL_PsFjkEAAMbre2ZurVlnFZvrVTmrwCLcBGAs/s1600/DSCN1239%2B%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A picture of blended cheerios and melted butter and marshmallows being pressed into a 9 x 13 dish" border="0" data-original-height="1130" data-original-width="1600" height="452" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bLyDoVbkS_E/XJWswnvbQII/AAAAAAAAJHs/bLdL_PsFjkEAAMbre2ZurVlnFZvrVTmrwCLcBGAs/s640/DSCN1239%2B%25282%2529.JPG" title="No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Squares" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Shapes and Other Fun Ideas</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
If you do plan to use a mold to shape your treats, I do not recommend using an olive oil non-stick spray. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is going to give your treats an olive oil taste, and you don't want that. <br />
<br />
<br />
Instead, try using just a <b>butter flavored non-stick spray</b> or one that is not flavored at all. <br />
<br />
<br />
You don't need much just enough that it will not stick to the mold and will come out easily. <br />
<br />
<br />
Having a recipe like this, it is easy to turn it into your own. <b>A fun project to do with your kids or grandkids</b>, press this onto a cookie sheet and let them use cookie cutters and make their own shapes. <br />
<br />
<br />
No baking required makes it a fun and safe way to get them involved.<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Make It Your Own</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Like a Peanut Butter lover, I chose to use <b>peanut butter morsels</b> for the topping in this recipe. <br />
<br />
<br />
It compliments the cereal very well and adds a salty coating. <br />
<br />
<br />
Cheerios and Peanut Butter, you can't go wrong. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>This recipe is very easy to be creative and make it your own way.</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
What I mean by this is that you don't have to use peanut butter topping. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you are making this for a child that is allergic to peanuts, you will need to find a substitute. <br />
<br />
<br />
Try using <b>white chocolate morsels</b> instead and spreading that over the top. <br />
<br />
<br />
Or you could use <b>frosting or whipped topping</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />
A thin layer is all you need and would compliment this recipe very well. <br />
<br />
<br />
Just remember that if you do choose to substitute actual frostings such as cream cheese frosting or whipped topping, you will need to refrigerate this. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Melting morsels is very easy.</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Sure you could use a double boiler which works just fine. <br />
<br />
<br />
Bottom pan has a little bit of boiling water and the top pan you use milk or cream to blend with the morsels, which would give you more of a ganache. <br />
<br />
<br />
But it isn't necessary. <br />
<br />
<br />
There is another way that is very simple. The microwave. <br />
<br />
<br />
Place your morsels in a microwave-safe dish and you will heat them on high for intervals of 10 seconds each. <br />
<br />
<br />
After every 10 seconds, give it a little stir and microwave for another 10 seconds. <br />
<br />
<br />
You will repeat this process until the morsels are melted. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<h2>
<b>Easy Peasy</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Simple as that. <br />
<br />
<br />
Just make sure you apply it immediately to your cereal bars because as it cools it will harden again. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Add The Finishing Touches</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
In this recipe, I used <b>melted chocolate</b> and drizzled it all over the top giving it a nice finish. <br />
<br />
<br />
You can change this up depending on who you are making this for or what time of the year it is. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you are making these with your kids or grandkids, let them decide what they want to top it with. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Crushed candy bar</b>, <b>sprinkles</b>, or <b>chocolate chips</b>. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Festive for any Holiday</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
For <b>Easter</b>, you can add pink and white sprinkles or add some miniature chocolate eggs to the top. <br />
<br />
<br />
For <b>Christmas</b>, a light dusting of red or green sugar sprinkles would be perfect or green and red sprinkles. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
If you have had a really good Barbecue, then you know there is a difference. There is Barbecue and then there is <i>Barbecue.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
I have had my fair share of different barbecue foods, and it has become some of my favorite foods.<br />
<br />
<br />
But it has to be cooked a certain way and seasoned a certain way and also the barbecue sauce plays a big factor in the flavor.<br />
<br />
<br />
Growing up, we enjoyed a good barbecue a few times a month. We would have barbecue ribs, pulled pork, and barbecue mutton and venison.<br />
<br />
<br />
My all-time favorite meat to barbecue is Chicken. A perfectly grilled chicken leg with crispy skin on the outside and smothered in a delicious barbecue sauce. MMM MMM MMM!<br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is a delicious Savory Herb Grilled Barbecue Chicken that will melt in your mouth and give you amazing flavor in every bite.<br />

<h2>
<b>Any Parts Of the Chicken are Fine!</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
It's ok to use legs, thighs, wings or the breast. However, <b>bone-in chicken</b> is always the best bet for juicy and succulent flavors.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bones are made of three things. Bone matter, Marrow and the fat or connective tissue.<br />
<br />
<br />
The <b>fat</b> will help keep the meat tender and will add a bit more flavor.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_FJRd5bchPE/XKuuRFBYNhI/AAAAAAAAJLg/PnNB141HP7cX9ecKWu_YTDAbNm6MxXVbACLcBGAs/s1600/How%2BTo%2BMake%2BGrilled%2BBarbecue%2BChicken.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="This is how to make Grilled Herb Barbecue Chicken" border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="576" height="427" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_FJRd5bchPE/XKuuRFBYNhI/AAAAAAAAJLg/PnNB141HP7cX9ecKWu_YTDAbNm6MxXVbACLcBGAs/s640/How%2BTo%2BMake%2BGrilled%2BBarbecue%2BChicken.png" title="Grilled Savory Herb Barbecue Chicken" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>The Bone Itself Helps Control The Cooking Process</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
The <b>bone</b> itself will act as an insulator for the meat causing it to cook slower at the center and keep it more tender.<br />
<br />
<br />
This will also help keep the juices that start flowing once cooking begins to seep out of the meat slower as well, thus giving you a more juicy piece of meat.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is true for most cuts of meat that are cooked with the bone-in.<br />
<br />
<br />
So grilling Chicken legs are perfect for this recipe, but any cuts of Chicken is fine.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>The Perfect Temperature Is Key</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
A grilled piece of Chicken is good. I eat Chicken lots of ways. Baked, roasted, fried and grilled.<br />
<br />
<br />
They are all delicious. But how you cook that Chicken is <b>key</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, Chicken is one meat that <b>MUST</b> be cooked all the way through.<br />
<br />
<br />
You eat uncooked Chicken, and you have yourself a risk of Salmonella.<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Chicken Is A Great Source Of Protein</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Chicken is a <b>low-fat protein</b>. It is also loaded with <b>amino acids</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Every 3 Oz of Chicken you consume, contains a little more than half of your <b>recommended daily value</b> of protein.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just a couple of the many amino acids found in Chicken are <b>Tryptophan</b> and <b>Isoleucine</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tryptophan helps bring on a relaxing and comfortable feeling to the body.<br />
<br />
<br />
Isoleucine is excellent for healing, controlling your blood sugar levels and growing.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Maintaining The Perfect Temperature Is Easy</b><br />
<br />
<br />
Making sure that your Chicken is thoroughly cooked might sound tricky, <b>but it really isn't</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
You do not have to be a <b>Chef</b> to know the proper temperature.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you already have a <b>meat thermometer</b> in your home, high five! If you do not, trust me and buy one.<br />
<br />
<br />
Chicken must reach an internal temperature of <b>165 degrees</b>. No Less.<br />
<br />
<br />
When you think your Chicken might be done, just insert your meat thermometer into the <b>thickest part of the chicken</b>. If it reads 165 degrees, it's perfect.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>All About That Seasoning</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
When cooking any meat, cooking it at the <b>proper temperature</b> will always play a part in how good that meat is going to taste.<br />
<br />
<br />
But what else can you do to add more flavor and give you a delicious bite every time? <b>The Seasoning</b>!<br />
<br />
<br />
A good dry rub before putting your Chicken on the grill will give it enhanced flavors.<br />
<br />
<br />
The seasoning in this recipe makes an excellent dry rub and gives the chicken a wonderful flavor.<br />
<br />

<b>Childhood Memories</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
One of my fondest memories as a child is watching my dad cook on our <b>charcoal grill</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
He made it look so easy. I loved watching how he stacked those <b>charcoal briquettes</b> into a perfect pyramid and then set them ablaze.<br />
<br />
<br />
While waiting for the grill to finish getting prepped, my mom would be in the kitchen seasoning whichever meat we were having that night.<br />
<br />
<br />
They made the perfect team.<br />
<br />

<b>Family Time</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
As a mom myself now, I love cooking for my children.<br />
<br />
<br />
They come running to the table every night because they know <b>mama is making dinner</b>. I always have a nice spread on my table.<br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is one I love to make for them. My husband too.<br />
<br />
<br />
My kids grab their piece of Chicken and with every bite, they smile with <b>barbecue sauce mustaches</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know I have done my part to give them the best I can.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am always trying different things with food, and this recipe turned out to be a <b>huge hit</b> at my table. It is requested often.<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>Get it Crispy for Best Results</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
When it comes to cooking my Chicken, I like to have a <b>slightly crisp</b> and savory exterior.<br />
<br />
<br />
I leave the skin on my Chicken to achieve this but you don't have to.<br />
<br />
<br />
I cook the Chicken until it is <b>slightly charred</b> but not burned and then add my barbecue sauce.<br />
<br />
<br />
After adding the sauce, I <b>turn down the heat</b> and give it a few turns on the grill before removing it.<br />
<br />
<br />
This will help the sauce thicken up and <b>coat the Chicken</b> nicely.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h2>
<b>Ingredients</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
10 to 12 chicken legs<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Your barbecue sauce of choice (I used Kentucky Bourbon for this one and it was delicious)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp sage<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp thyme<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp rosemary<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp brown sugar<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1 tsp black pepper<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp paprika<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/4 tsp ground mustard (optional)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp basil<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/4 tsp garlic powder<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp dried onion flakes (optional)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/2 tsp parsley<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Instructions</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
1. Preheat your grill. Add all seasoning except for barbecue sauce to a small bowl and mix. Sprinkle seasoning on chicken and coat evenly. Turn the chicken over and do the same thing on the other side.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Time to Grill. I like to cook my chicken for 3 to 4 minutes and flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. I do this repeatedly until it's cooked in order to keep chicken from burning.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Cook thoroughly. Chicken must be cooked to 165 degrees to avoid foodborne illness. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken to check the temperature. If you do not have a meat thermometer then you can either poke the chicken with a fork and check that the juice runs clear or you can pull back the meat and check if it's white. The undercooked chicken will still be pink inside.<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Add the sauce. Using your pastry brush, spread an even layer of barbecue sauce on each piece of chicken, turn over and do the same thing on the other side. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes on each side, and remove from the grill.<br />

<b>Easy and Quick Mouth Watering Appetizers</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Using fresh mushrooms is key, so don't buy the mushrooms until either the day of or the day before you prepare these.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, try to remove as much of the stem from the mushroom to allow more room for filling.<br />
<br />
<br />
The more filling that you are able to add to these, the more delicious bite you will get. <br />

<h2>
<b>Remember To Boil Them First</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
When it comes to any product that you buy from the produce department, the golden rule is to always wash it before consuming it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mushrooms, on the other hand, I prefer to boil these babies.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mushrooms have so many spaces for dirt and bacteria to hide, that boiling these ensures that you get thoroughly cleaned mushrooms. <br />

<h2>
<b>Mushrooms Are So Full Of Water!</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I was amazed at how much water Mushrooms absorb. <br />
<br />
<br />
I learned after a few times of making these to absorb as much water from them as possible with a towel or paper towels.<br />
<br />
<br />
This will keep them moist but allow the filling to thicken up.<br />

<h2>
<b>Pepperoni Gives These The Best Flavor!</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Filling this Mushroom appetizer is easy and can be filled with different things. <br />
<br />
<br />
If Pepperoni isn't something you like or want, try using chopped Peppers and Cheese.<br />
<br />
<br />
Or Sausage and breadcrumbs with Cheese.<br />
<br />
<br />
Pepperoni is my number one go to for these Pizza mushrooms. <br />

<b>Easy Clean-Up</b></h2>

This appetizer is so easy to make, but clean up can be easy as well.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Ingredients</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Two or more containers of Baby Bella Mushrooms.</li>
<li>Pepperoni (about 10-12 slices)</li>
<li>Pizza sauce</li>
<li>1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella. Save about 1/4 cup of each on the side for topping</li>
<li>1 tsp of Oregano</li>
<li>1 tsp of Basil</li>
<li>1/2 tsp of granulated Garlic1 tsp of Parsley</li>
<li>1/4 tsp of Salt</li>
<li>1/4 tsp of Pepper</li>
<li>1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Instructions</h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Remove the stem from the mushroom and scrape out any remaining bits with a spoon. Place the mushrooms in a big saucepan.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Cover mushrooms with water and bring to a boil. Boiling ensures you remove all the dirt and bacteria from the mushrooms. The mushrooms will shrink in size, which is why I always get at least 2 containers of mushrooms. Boil for 2 minutes and remove from heat and drain. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Top with paper towels and pat dry. You may have to repeat this step several times. Mushrooms soak up a lot of water.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Place mushrooms in a pie tin sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. I use a metal disposable pie tin. You can use a cookie sheet if you do not have a pie tin. Just line your cookie sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. In a medium-sized bowl, combine your pepperoni, pizza sauce, cheeses, and seasoning. Mix. Using a spoon, fill your mushrooms with your combined ingredients.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Top your mushrooms with your remaining cheese.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Broil until your cheese starts to bubble and is golden brown. Serve and Enjoy.<br />

<br />
Deviled eggs are an appetizer that many people enjoy and can be served immediately or kept in the refrigerator for a day or two before you need them. <br />
<br />
<br />
This particular recipe goes back 3 generations to my Great Grandmother. <br />
<br />
<br />
These are a German-style Deviled egg. <br />
<br />
<br />
She made these for her family and now I make these for my family and friends. <br />
<br />
<br />
This egg appetizer is one to go first off my table and are always complimented on. <br />

<h2>
<b>Just Bring to a Boil</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Deviled eggs are pretty basic when it comes to prepping them, it's a recipe that gets better every time you make it.<br />
<br />
<br />
You learn to add a little more spice or dressing, to give you that perfect flavor you are trying to achieve. <br />
<br />
<br />
I have made this recipe more times than I can count, and one thing I have learned is to use older eggs. <br />
<br />
<br />
Buying eggs fresh from the store and turning them into Deviled eggs the same day, may turn out good. <br />
<br />
<br />
I have learned that using eggs that are a little older, are easier to work with. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Cut Vertically, Not Horizontally</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
When prepping these Egg appetizers, you want to cut them vertically, not horizontally. <br />
<br />
<br />
This will allow them to lay flat on your tray and be easier to fill. <br />
<br />
<br />
Before you begin peeling them and cutting them, you want them to cool completely. <br />
<br />
<br />
After your eggs finish boiling, put them in a big bowl of ice water and let them sit until they are no longer warm. <br />
<br />
<br />
Checking them is easy, just remove one from the ice bath and hold in your hand. If it feels warm at all, place back into the water. <br />
<br />
<br />
If it's cold then you are ready to peel.<br />
<br />

<h2>
A Childhood Recipe</h2>
<br />
<br />
Every time I make this recipe, it takes me back to when I was a child. <br />
<br />
<br />
Visiting my Grandmother for Holidays, I remember sitting in the family room playing and watching my Mother and Grandmother setting the table. <br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is one that was almost always on the table. <br />
<br />
<br />
I am always reminded of those moments when I put these on my table. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Adding Texture</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
For this specific recipe, adding a little texture to it gives it a different flavor and bite.<br />
<br />
<br />
This traditional German recipe that was developed by my Great Grandmother, has pickles and mustard. <br />
<br />
<br />
I love pickles, so I always add a little more than I probably need, but it definitely ramps up the flavor and adds a crunch. <br />
<br />
<br />
Another thing that is added for texture, is I chop up one of my eggs and add it to my filling. <br />
<br />
<br />
This will give you such a bold flavor and texture in every bite. It's simply delicious! <br />
<br />

3. Remove the eggs from the ice water once completely cool and begin removing the shell. I gently crack the shell first with the back of a spoon and then try removing the shell. After the shell is removed, run under water to remove any small bits of shell that could be remaining.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Once all the eggs are cleaned, place on a cutting board and cut in half with a paring knife. Be gentle about this so you are sure to not rip the egg.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. After cutting your eggs in half, with the tip of a spoon, gently pull out the egg yolk and put into a medium-sized bowl. Using a fork gently start mashing them, but don't completely mash them into a paste, rather keep them somewhat chunky so when you bite into one of these, you get great taste and texture.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Take one of your empty eggs, and chop into small pieces. This will be added to your bowl of yolks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Add your mustard, mayonnaise, sugar, salt and pepper and pickles to your bowl of yolks. Mix well. Time to taste test. Here you can be creative, if you feel it needs more sugar, add it. More salt or pepper, add it. But remember to add a small amount at a time, and then taste it. Always keep in mind, you can always add more, but you can't take out. So I always add the tiniest bit at a time then taste test it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
8.Time to fill. Using two teaspoons, start adding your filling to your eggs. I add enough to slightly overfill them. Once all are filled, sprinkle with paprika and either serve immediately or refrigerate.<br />

<h2>
<b>Greetings and Welcome to The Family Recipe Place.</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today's recipe is an old fashioned recipe that was created by my Great Grandfather Carmen.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
May he rest in peace.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He always put bologna in Caponata.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course, the original authentic way for Sicilian eggplant appetizer is without bologna.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you want to stick to tradition, omit it. This is how we love it and it is delicious. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>
<b>So Simple To Make</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
When I make this recipe, it takes me back to being a child and remembering the smell coming from the kitchen as he fried his bologna and stirred his Caponata. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is now a tradition in my home that I now make for my family. Watching my kids enjoy it as much as I did back then, always puts a smile on my face.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope you will give this recipe a try and that you enjoy it as much as I did then and still do today.<br />

<b>Living in Florida, I have the opportunity to grill outside all year long.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>I love to marinate my steaks for at least 4 hours before grilling.</b> <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>If you have the time to get it ready the night before it's the best for tenderizing.</b> <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>(Of course, that is unless you are buying top quality cuts!! $$$)</b> <br />
<br />
<b><br />This is easy and a perfect way to tenderize meat a healthier way. Thanks for stopping by today, enjoy!</b> <br />

<h2>
<b>It's So Easy To Make</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Just a few simple ingredients.<br />
<br />
<br />
You can keep the chicken as it is, or make them into bite-size pieces. If I am preparing this for myself and family, I will cut the chicken into thirds. If you are serving a group of people, cutting the chicken into pieces will give you more and everyone can have some.<br />
<br />
<br />
When I am preparing this recipe, it always makes my mouth water. Smelling that fresh lemon and citrus is so refreshing to your pallet.<br />
<br />
<br />
Before all the chicken is cooked, I always have to sample a piece because I just can't resist.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<h2>
<b>One Pan Is All You Need</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
The great thing about making this recipe is that you don't need a lot of tools.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just one pan, one ziplock bag and a bowl for your milk and that is it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Being that it is easy to prepare and you don't need much, it makes clean up a breeze. <br />
<br />
<br />
That is always good because you can go right to eating and enjoying this delicious Lemon Chicken. <br />

<h2>
<b>Preparing The Chicken For Frying </b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Getting that coating on the Chicken is what will give it that wonderful crunchy texture when you bite into it. <br />
<br />
<br />
Prepping the Chicken for frying is easy. <br />
<br />
<br />
Dipping the Chicken into the Milk first will help the bread crumb to stick nicely to the Chicken.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>The Perfect Coating</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
Dipping your Chicken in the milk will act as glue for your breadcrumbs. <br />
<br />
<br />
This will give you the perfect coating on your Chicken and that is what you want. <br />
<br />
<br />
A good coating gives a nice crunchy texture on the outside after it's cooked. <br />

<h2>
<b>Ingredients</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The Chicken</b><br />
<br />
<br />
4 Boneless Chicken Breasts, cut in half vertically. If they are very thick, cut in thirds.<br />

<br />
<br />
1 Cup of Panko Italian Bread Crumbs.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><br />
The Lemon Sauce</b><br />
<br />
<br />
1/4 Cup of Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese<br />
<br />
<br />
2 1/2 Tbsp of Freshly Grated Lemon Peel<br />
<br />
<br />
2 Tbsp of Olive Oil<br />
<br />
<br />
1/2 Tsp of Oregano<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
4 Tsp of Lemon Juice<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Mix together and set aside</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>Instructions</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Combine Olive Oil and Canola Oil in a large frying pan and heat until hot.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. While oil is heating up, in a large ziplock bag, add the bread crumbs. Add your seasonings. Mix.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Put milk into a large bowl<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Dip the chicken in the milk and then put into the ziplock bag and seal. Shake well to evenly coat the chicken in the mixture.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. One piece at a time, add your chicken to the hot oil. Do not overfill your frying pan with chicken, this will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Remove chicken from pan and transfer to a paper toweled lined plate, allowing the excess oil to drain.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
8. Transfer to a serving plate or dish. Drizzle the lemon sauce over the top of the chicken.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
9. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley.<br />

<b>Fluffy And Light</b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't be fooled by the thin batter. That is just how it is supposed to be. Some batters are thick, but not this one. Trust me.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
They will come out fluffy and delicious, every time. If you aren't a Banana fan, this recipe will work with other fruits or toppings.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Try adding fresh blueberries, raspberries or blackberries. Or add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Yields: 5 to 6 servings<br />
<br />
<br />
Prep Time: 10 minutes<br />
<br />
<br />
Total Time: 45 minutes<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What You Need</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 Cup of King Arthur 100% Whole Wheat Flour</li>
<li>2 Tsp of Baking Powder</li>
<li>1 Tbsp of Stevia</li>
<li>1/4 Tsp of Salt</li>
<li>2 to 3 extra ripe Bananas, Mashed. </li>
<li>1 Cup of Milk</li>
<li>1 Egg, beaten</li>
<li>1 Tsp of Vanilla</li>
<li>2 Tbsp of Canola Oil</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Preparation</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Pre-heat griddle or skillet to medium-low heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. In a medium bowl, mix together your dry ingredients. Set aside.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. In a large bowl, add bananas and mash.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Add your milk, egg, vanilla and canola oil to your bananas and mix well. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Add your dry ingredients. Mix well. The batter will be lumpy but that's ok.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Add a teaspoon of butter to your skillet and let melt. Using a ladle, drop a spoonful of batter in the middle of the skillet. The batter will spread out into a circle. Let it cook for about 2 minutes, and gently lift one side with a spatula. If it is golden brown, flip it. Cook until golden brown again. Remove from the skillet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Allow them to cool before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite syrup or topping. Whipped cream or Extra fruit. I prefer them plain myself, they are so good. <br />

<h2><b>One Pan And Done</b></h2><br />
<br />
<br />
This recipe is so simple and you only need one pan.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Any parts of the chicken would work for this, but for best results, use boneless skinless chicken breasts.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The chicken comes out so tender and juicy every time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What You Need</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul><li>4 Smashed Garlic Cloves</li>
<li>6 Tbsp of Butter</li>
<li>1/4 Tsp of Salt and Pepper</li>
<li>4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts</li>
<li>4 Tbsp of Olive Oil</li>
<li>1/2 Tsp of Oregano</li>
<li>1/4 Tsp of Rosemary</li>
<li>1/2 Tsp of Parsley</li>
<li>1/4 Tsp of Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><br />
Preparation</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. In a Medium sized bowl, mash the butter and add your herbs and spices. Mix together and well combined. About 1o minutes prior to making this recipe, lay your butter out and let it come to room temperature. It will be much easier to mash and blend with your seasoning. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Cutting vertically, make a 2-inch deep pocket inside your chicken breasts. Take 2 teaspoons of your butter mixture, and put inside the pocket. Season the outside of the chicken breasts with more salt and pepper.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Watch closely, olive burns easily.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Saute the chicken on both sides until golden brown. Around 8 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel-lined plate or dish.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Spread the remaining seasoned garlic butter on the outside of the chicken and serve.<br />

<h2><b>Make Them Ahead of Time</b></h2><br />
<br />
<br />
I made these for a birthday party I was catering for, so I made just enough.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You could easily make these ahead of time for a party, or event and freeze them for up to 3 weeks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What You Need</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Honey Graham Crackers</li>
<li>Large and Miniature Marshmallows</li>
<li>Black Licorice </li>
<li>Chocolate Frosting</li>
<li>White Frosting</li>
<li>Blue Food Coloring or Dye </li>
<li>Candy Corn</li>
<li>Confectioners Sugar </li>
<li>Candy eyeballs</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Preparation</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Put 1/2 of white frosting in a small bowl and add 3-4 drops of blue food coloring. Mix well. Add one drop at a time until it reaches the blue you want. If you are using food coloring dye, use a toothpick and just dab some blue dye into your white frosting. Dye is much better at making color so you don't need much.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Break your graham crackers into 4 squares. Repeat this until you reach the desired number you like.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Spread a thin layer of blue frosting on each graham cracker.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Cut one large marshmallow into 3 pieces horizontally. Scissors worked perfectly for this step. These will be your body. Put the 3 pieces on top of the blue frosting to make your snowman.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Use 2 miniature marshmallows to make the feet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Cut small pieces of black licorice and push into the sides of the middle marshmallow to make arms. Add two small pieces to the top marshmallow to make the hair.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Using a toothpick, dab a little chocolate frosting on the middle and bottom marshmallow to make the buttons. Draw a smile on the top marshmallow to make the smile. You can use a piping bag if you prefer, this is just an easier way to do it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
8. Dab two small dots of chocolate frosting on the top marshmallow and add your candy eyeballs. The frosting will make them stick.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
9. Cut the tip off of the candy corn and stick it to the top marshmallow with a little chocolate frosting to make the nose.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
10. Using a sifter, sprinkle a little confectioners sugar on each one to make the snow effect. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Serve these right away or put in an airtight container and freeze. </b><br />
