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

Happy New Year!! Getting a Handle on things?

 

Andrew surprised me with new handles for our refinished cabinet on New Year's Day.  We painted it some years ago, and I had even forgot it had handles to begin with.

I believe he made these out of Cherry wood, but I may have to get back to you on that one.

This was a drawer the whole time!!

Our newly handled cabinet. Yea!! (Couldn't get a good picture with my camera, but it's Beautiful now!)

With the Holiday's keeping everyone so busy, it's nice to sit down and return to my blog. I hope everyone had a good time on New Year's.  I have lots of great ideas to share with you in 2011.
