Blueberry Cheese Rolls

So in my search for a new something to bake, I landed on these.  Blueberry Cheese Rolls.  YUM! You can find the recipe here.

 I think next I'll add apple and raisins, instead of blueberries to change it up. Maybe some cinnamon?  I think I'll making these quite a lot. 

 I got to go the zoo recently with my family.  What a fantastic time!  And yes, that is a bird on my Girl's head. 

 They were flying everywhere!

I was also featured over at House of Hepworths!  Thanks Allison! You can check out the post here.

Whoopie Pies!

I woke up today, sunny side up.  I'm not really sure why...
because I was especially exhausted.  I'm blaming the unusual heat we've been having. If not that, then it's because my daughter is working on 2 more teeth.  She wakes up crying every so often, and goes back to sleep. 

Poor baby.  Again at 5 this morning she was crying...I got all the way to her room and waited, and lo and behold, she stopped. Yea! I eagerly went back to bed.  The sheets never felt so good. I've never loved sleep as much as I do now after having a baby. It really makes you appreciate it.

Well, we celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary Saturday.  I made the Whoopie Pies! I'm so glad they turned out.  I can cook, but I'm the first to say that baking is not my strong point.

Whoopie Cookie 
Ingredients: 
1/2 cup Crisco 
1 cup sugar 
2 egg yolks (save whites for filling)
5 tablespoons cocoa
2 cups flour 
1 teaspoon baking powder 
1 teaspoon soda 
1 teaspoon salt 
1 teaspoon vanilla 
1 cup milk

Cream Crisco and sugar together. Add other ingredients. Use a piping bag to squeeze out the batter into about 2” circles. 

Directions:

 Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees.
 Now make the filling...

Filling:
1 Cup of Crisco
4 Cups of Confectioners Sugar
4 Eggs Whites
Pinch of salt
2 Tsp. Vanilla
Beat all Ingredients until creamy, about 2-3 Minutes.  Cool the cookies, and then spoon this frosting on.  Add another cookies on top. Your Finished! Now go give your husband some whoopie...whoopie pie,,uh cookie!

Cream Cheese Pepper Salad

This is a very delicious salad.  

What may look like tofu, is actually baked cream cheese cubed.  The croutons are homemade from my two day old french bread.  They are extra good when they soak up the dressing!

You can't see the sunflower seeds or pepper rings..I forgot to take pictures the night I made it!

Ingredients: 

Cream cheese, cubed in bite size pieces
Orange zest
Pepper
Garlic powder
Romaine lettuce, chopped
Carrot, shaved
Sunflower seeds
Mild Pepper rings, sliced a bit smaller
Croutons 


I did a balsamic dressing for this salad, but you could probably use any kind.

Directions:
 
Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Place cream cheese on non stick sprayed baking pan.

Sprinkle with Garlic powder, orange zest and pepper to your taste.

Bake 8 to 10 Minutes until lightly browned. Cool slightly, then removed to a plate; set aside.

Add the rest of your ingredients to a bowl, top with cream cheese and drizzle dressing.

So very good, and a nice compliment to almost any meal.

I  went to Strack and Van til and got the yellow pepper rings and sunflower seeds from the salad bar. Only cost me $0.20, instead of $5.00. Now that works for me!

Sorry I haven't sent anything in awhile. I haven't had a camera for days...long days. I made some beautiful stuffed pork chops last night, and couldn't get a picture. Sad, but I guess that means I'll have to make them again so I can share them with you. 

I hope everyone is well. I'm working on making an app for my blog, so hopefully that will be coming soon!

A New Take on Italian Fettuccine Pie

This is the next day, and it was still so good!

I think some of the best recipes happen when you add your own twist. 

This past week, I thought I had cottage cheese in my fridge. Well, I wasn't wrong; but boy was I wrong! It expired Christmas Day. So, being a Woman of hunger and desperation, I decided to substitute a half brick of Cream cheese and used Italian Sausage instead of Ground beef.  What a wonderful change!  We loved it.  I covered the whole top of the pie with sauce, 'cause we're not a fan of crispy pasta.  Still, keep the foil covering this when you bake it. 

YUM
