There's been a lot going on in life and it's only going to get more crazy from here but I'm back on the saddle... I think. :)<br />
<br />
I needed a quick dessert the other night and based on the ingredients I had I decided to go with a dump cake. If I'm being honest it was less about the ingredients I had and more about being lazy and doing NO research on a dessert. Dump cake has been around forever and I don't know where the recipe actually originated. The Pioneer Woman did a post about dump cake so i'll link it back to her.<br />
<br />
The best thing about Dump Cake is that it's super easy and you can use whatever you want. I used blueberry and peaches because that's what I had. I think blueberry with lemon cake mix would be delicious too. Go crazy.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Blueberry-Peach Dump Cake:</b></u><br />
(<a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/04/dump-cake-a-potluckers-paradise/" target="_blank">Pioneer Woman</a> and the internets)<br />
<br />
1 box yellow cake mix<br />
1 can sliced peaches in juice<br />
1 pint blueberries<br />
1 stick butter<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a baking dish mix the fruit together with the vanilla. Top with the cake mix and dot with the stick of butter.<br />
<br />
Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the fruit juices have started to bubble up around the crust.<br />
<br />
Seriously.... that's the entire recipe. It's delicious. Next time you have to make something for desert in an hour pull this out of the recipe box. It's easy and no one will know that it's cake mix from a box.<br />

(I love it when that happens) I had to go out and buy a bottle of hoisin sauce but other than that the ingredients were all things at had at home.<br />

<u><b>Asian Glazed Chicken:</b></u><br />
(adapted from Cooking Light)<br />
<br />
1 teaspoon ground ginger<br />
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce<br />
1 teaspoon olive oil<br />
1 teaspoon lower-sodium soy sauce<br />
8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)<br />
<br />
Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.<br />
<br />
Combine the ginger, hoisin sauce, olive oil, and soy sauce in a medium bowl and stir well to combine. Add the chicken, toss to coat, and let the chicken marinate for at least 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from the grill and serve.Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18246677520484511573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616541927247444036.post-45260266262220308852013-01-21T07:00:00.000-05:002013-01-21T07:00:15.226-05:00Southwestern Egg Rolls<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I made these for our New Year's Eve celebration.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">My plan for these is <span style="font-size: small;">to incorporate them into Mexican <span style="font-size: small;">nights and freeze <span style="font-size: small;">batches for easy weekend meals. I also think these would be gr<span style="font-size: small;">eat to make if you<span style="font-size: small;">'re bringing a meal to someone.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Egg Rolls:</b></u><br />
(Emily Bites)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ingredients:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 cups
frozen corn, thawed</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 (15 oz)
can black beans, drained and rinsed</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">2 cups
reduced fat shredded Mexican cheese blend</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 (10 oz)
package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">4 scallions,
chopped</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 (4 oz) can
of green chiles, drained</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 teaspoon
ground cumin</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">½ teaspoon
chili powder</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 teaspoon
salt</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">½ teaspoon
black pepper</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">¼ teaspoon
cayenne pepper</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">24 egg roll
wrappers (1 package)</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Directions:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Preheat the
oven to 425. Lightly mist two baking sheets with cooking spray and set aside.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In a large
bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the egg roll wrappers and stir to
thoroughly combine.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Pour some
water into a small dish and set aside. On a flat surface, place an egg roll
wrapper, corner facing toward you (like a diamond) and put ¼ cup of the mixture
from the bowl on the center of the wrapper. Spread the mixture in a horizontal
line from the left corner to the right corner of the wonton wrapper, leaving ½
inch or so of space on each side. Fold the bottom corner closest to you up over
the ingredients and give it a 90 degree roll. Fold the side corners in and tuck
them as you give the filled section another 90 degree roll. Dip your finger in
the dish or reserved water and lightly wet the edges of the remaining top
corner of the wrapper. Finish rolling the filled egg roll over the wet corner
so that it adheres. Place wrapped egg roll onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When all of
the egg rolls are wrapped and on the baking sheets, lightly mist the tops with
cooking spray. Bake for 14-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the
wrappers are golden brown. Serve with salsa for dipping.</span></span><br />

I've been trying to eat more brussels sprouts. I "didn't like them" as a child but to be honest, I'm not really sure that I ever had one. I found this recipe that called for brussels sprouts in pasta and my mind was blown. I don't think I've ever seen something like that before so I decided to give it a shot!</div>

This pasta is delicious and full of veggies. I really believe that kids would love it. The turkey and sausage give it a meaty texture without all of the fat that comes with beef a lot of times.</div>

<u><b>Turkey Veggie Pasta:</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(adapted from <a href="http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/09/autumn-penne-pasta-with-sauteed.html" target="_blank">Skinnytaste</a>)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ingredients:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 sweet or hot pork sausage link, casing removed, crumbled</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3/4 lb 93% lean ground turkey</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4 tsp olive oil, divided</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4 cloves garlic, minced </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
10 oz brussels sprouts, weight after outer leaves and stems
removed</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 small onion, diced small</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 carrot, peeled and diced small</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2 celery stalks, diced small</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
28 oz crushed tomatoes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 bay leaf<br />
1 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
1 teaspoon onion powder<br />
pinch crushed red pepper<br />
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste<br />
1 lb high fiber, low carb or whole wheat pasta (brown rice pasta for gluten
free)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a large skillet heated over medium-high heat add the sausage and turkey. When the meat is completely cooked through and crumbled into small pieces set aside in a bowl.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cut the brussels sprouts into thin
shreds. A food processor is awesome at this, but a sharp knife works just as well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To the skillet, add 2 teaspoons of oil and turn the heat down to medium heat. When hot,
add the shredded brussels
sprouts, garlic, salt and pepper. Sauté until everything is tender and starting to crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside in another bowl.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the same skillet add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil and turn the heat back up to medium-high. Add the onion, carrot, and celery.
Cook until the vegetables turn golden brown, about 10
to 12 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Make sure you stir everything occasionally.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the veggies are night and brown add the can of crushed tomatoes, sausage and turkey, bay leaf,
crushed red pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper to
taste. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer about 20 - 30 minutes, or until
the sauce is nice and thick.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While sauce is simmering prepare the pasta according to the package directions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Toss everything together with the cooked brussel sprouts and enjoy!</div>

</xml><![endif]-->We don't really buy bread often. There's only 2 of us at home and we just can't eat the loaf of bread quickly enough (and I HATE throwing food away).<br />
<br />
I got a craving the other day for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich the other day... i'm also lazy and didn't feel like leaving the house to go to the grocery store. So I made bread from scratch! (that's a normal thing to do... right?!)<br />
<br />
This was totally worth it! This recipe isn't quick to make but the flavor is great and the crust on the bread is fantastic.<br />

3 cups lukewarm water</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4 cups white flour</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2 1/2 to 3 1/2 cups wheat flour</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 tablespoon salt</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 packet instant yeast</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
*The flour/liquid ratio is important in this recipe. If you
measure flour by sprinkling it into your measuring cup, then gently sweeping
off the excess, use 7 1/2 cups. If you measure flour by dipping your cup into
the canister, then sweeping off the excess, use 6 1/2 cups. Most accurate of
all, and guaranteed to give you the best results, if you measure flour by
weight, use 32 ounces.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mix everything together to make a rough, sticky dough. I
used a stand mixer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise at room temperature
for 2 hours. Then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or for up to about 7
days if you prefer a tangier bread.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you're ready to make bread, sprinkle the top of the
dough with flour; this will make it easier to grab a hunk. Grease your hands,
and pull off about 1/4 to 1/3 of the dough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It'll be about the size of a softball, or a large grapefruit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Plop the sticky dough onto a floured work surface and round
it into a ball. Place the dough onto a lightly greased or parchment-lined
baking sheet. Sift a light coating of flour over the top to help keep the dough
moist as it rests before baking.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let the dough rise for about 45 to 60 minutes. It won't
appear to rise upwards that much; rather, it'll seem to settle and expand.
Preheat the oven to 450°F while the dough rests. Place a shallow metal or cast
iron pan (not glass or Pyrex) on the lowest oven rack, and have 1 cup of hot
water ready to go.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you're ready to bake, take a sharp knife and slash the
bread 2 or 3 times, making a cut about 1/2" deep. The bread may deflate a
bit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Place the bread in the oven, and carefully pour the 1 cup
hot water into the shallow pan on the rack beneath.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bake the bread for 25 to 35 minutes, until it's a deep,
golden brown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remove the bread from the
oven, and cool it on a rack. Store leftover bread in a plastic bag at room
temperature.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yield: 3 or 4 loaves, depending on size.</div>

It's awesome. Mr. T and I went the first Saturday that they were open. It was so crowded that we didn't get a chance to really look around but one of the things I did manager to grab was a jar of Cookie Butter.<br />
<br />
Cookie Butter is the consistency of peanut butter but is made up of gingersnaps (and other stuff). Alone it's pretty amazing but made into a cookie it transforms into... COOKIECEPTION!!<br />
<br />
I want to give this cookie another chance. I think my downfall was using a super basic cookie recipe. Mr. T liked them fine but I felt that the lack of flour in them made the sugar granules more obvious.<br />

** I used a fork to make cross hatches in my cookies (just like you would regular peanut butter cookies).

Mr. T is responsible for that. When we were younger we frequented many All You Can Eat wing nights, which are a staple of any college town.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've been trying to learn how to make decent wings at home for a while. I'm not going to fry wings at home so I was on a quest to find another option. I saw this recipe on <a href="http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/03/lighter-buffalo-wings-6-pts.html" target="_blank">Skinnytaste</a>'s website and decided to give it a try for our New Year's Eve celebration this year. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They turned out really well!! These aren't fried wings and won't taste like fried wings but they do get crisp in the oven and the flavor is amazing. I will be making these again.</span><br />

The older I get the more I lean towards lovely ginger cookies instead of chocolate peppermint cookies for the holidays. (I still love a chocolate peppermint cookie... make no mistake about it)<br />
<br />
These are not ginger snaps. These are soft and chewy... and delicious.<br />

<u><b>Chewy Ginger Cookies:</b></u><br />
(<a href="http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/soft-ginger-molasses-cookies-and-ginger-syrup-recipe#.UL1EtE2zsoE.pinterest" target="_blank">King Arthur Flour</a>)<br />
<br />
1 cup unsalted butter<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
1/2 cup molasses<br />
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda<br />
1 teaspoon salt<br />
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon<br />
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves<br />
1 teaspoon ground ginger<br />
2 large eggs<br />
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour<br />
Sugar for coating: I used regular granulated sugar but sparkling white sugar would be pretty <br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.<br />
<br />
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until they're light and fluffy.<br />
<br />
Add the molasses, baking soda, salt, and spices. Mix well. Add the eggs, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.<br />
<br />
Add the flour and scrape down the sides again.<br />
<br />
Scoop the soft dough into 1 ½" balls and roll them sugar.<br />
<br />
Space the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 ½" between them.<br />
<br />
Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes. The centers will look soft and puffy. Remove the cookies from the oven, and cool them on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18246677520484511573noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616541927247444036.post-31584039920953584572012-12-17T07:00:00.000-05:002012-12-17T07:00:01.769-05:00Honey Ginger Chex Mix<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

It's the time for holiday parties. I always make a large batch of <a href="http://jackie-eats.blogspot.com/2011/12/jackies-chex-party-mix.html" target="_blank">traditional Chex Mix</a> every year but this year when I was shopping for the ingredients I noticed this recipe printed on the side of the box. It sounded really good so I picked up everything and tried it.<br />
<br />
This is a really good mix. I gave it out with Christmas gifts this year and everyone thought it was delicious. It is also gluten-free so you don't have to worry about making something different for those with gluten allergies.<br />

<br />
I already had a bottle of bourbon opened from the Derby Pie I made and thought I should find some more ways to use it. Bourbon Ham was the answer! This recipe is adapted from my late grandma's ham recipe. She covered the ham in mustard and brown sugar and let it cook until everything melted together. I added some bourbon and juice to the mustard and ham mixture and was really happy about how it turned out.<br />

<u><b>Bourbon Baked Ham:</b></u><br />
(adapted from my Grandma's recipe box)<br />
<br />
1 ham- precooked, whole or spiral cut <br />
2 tablespoons yellow mustard <br />
4 + 2 tablespoons brown sugar<br />
3 tablespoons bourbon<br />
1 cup orange juice<br />
salt and pepper to taste<br />
Whole cloves- depending on how many scores you make in your ham<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 350.<br />
<br />
Take your ham and slice a diamond pattern on the top and put a whole clove at the point of each diamond. If you have a spiral sliced ham you don't have to do anything here!!<br />
<br />

Spread the yellow mustard all over the ham. If your ham is larger then use more mustard. This is not exact science. Spread 4 tablespoons (more or less) of the brown sugar on top of the mustard ham.<br />

In a bowl mix together the rest of the brown sugar, bourbon, orange juice, and salt and pepper together. Pour a quarter of the mixture over the ham and place in the oven. Continue to pour the mixture over the ham and cook until everything is warmed through.<br />
<br />
Another option is to take the remaining 3/4 orange bourbon mixture and reduce over medium-low heat until nice and thick. This can be poured over the sliced ham as needed.Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18246677520484511573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616541927247444036.post-82596337818951317272012-11-28T07:00:00.000-05:002012-11-28T07:00:00.691-05:00Chipotle Kale ChipsI got some beautiful curly kale at the farmers' market this weekend and decided to make some kale chips.<br />
<br />
I really love kale chips. Part of the reason is that they are super simple to make. It takes longer to wash the greens then it does to prepare the chips. One of the other reasons I love these chips is because of all of the different types of flavors you can choose to pair with them.<br />
<br />
I decided to use chipotle pepper with this batch of kale chips and was pretty happy with how they turned out.<br />

They are crazy gross to me and are the quickest way to get rid of my appetite. <br />
<br />
However... my husband loves pickled jalapenos on just about everything. I was on a canning spree and decided to try my hand at making some jalapeno pickles. I really enjoyed making this batch of pickles. They were easy to make and will last about a year in the pantry which gives me plenty of time to use them up on pizzas, chili's, and plenty of other things.<br />

<u><b>Jalapeno Pickles:</b></u><br />
(adapted slightly from <a href="http://www.foodinjars.com/2010/08/unfancy-pickled-jalapeno-peppers/" target="_blank">Food in Jars</a>)<br />
<br />
1 pound of jalapeno peppers, cut into slices<br />
2 cups white vinegar<br />
2 cups filtered water<br />
2 tablespoons pickling salt<br />
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes<br />
<br />
Pack clean, hot jars with peppers and the red pepper flakes. Pour hot brine over top. Bubble your jars thoroughly by tapping them firmly on the countertop and using a wooden chopstick to release any stubborn bubbles. Wipe rims, apply lids and bands.<br />
<br />
Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes. Store in cool, dark place for up to a year.<br />

Congrats! Before you jump into the mountain of leftovers in the refrigerator you'll want something for breakfast. <br />
<br />
My suggestion... PUMPKIN DOUGHNUTS! These are easy to make, delicious, and believe it or not much lighter than having a piece of pie for breakfast (not that you would).<br />
<br />
I made two trays of and froze the rest of the batter for future doughnuts.<br />

<u><b>Dairy Free Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts:</b></u><br />
(adapted from King Arthur Flour)<br />
<br />
1/2 cup vegetable oil<br />
3 large eggs<br />
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar<br />
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin<br />
3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice <br />
1 1/2 teaspoons salt<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder<br />
1 3/4 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour<br />
<br />
Coating Options:<br />
3 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar<br />
Coconut<br />
<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two standard doughnut pans. If you don't have doughnut pans, use a standard muffin tin; they just won't be doughnuts.<br />
<br />
Beat together the oil, eggs, sugar, pumpkin, spices, salt, and baking powder until smooth.<br />
<br />
Add the flour, stirring just until smooth.<br />
<br />
Fill the the doughnut pans about 3/4 full. I use about 2 1/2 scoops per doughnut.<br />

<br />
Bake the doughnuts for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of one comes out clean. <br />
<br />
Remove the doughnuts from the oven, and after about 5 minutes, loosen their edges, and transfer them to a rack to cool.<br />
<br />
I made my doughnuts two different ways. One batch I tossed in cinnamon sugar. <br />
<br />
The other batch I used coconut. Believe it or not, it was delicious. All I did for the coconut doughnuts was put some coconut flakes on top of the doughnut batter once it was in the pan. I stirred it around a little bit to make sure the coconut flakes would stick to the doughnuts.<br />

I found this recipe on Pinterest and since it was super easy to make I decided to give it a shot.<br />
<br />
I made this for Mr. T's work potluck last week and forgot to take an after picture. I wanted to make sure I got the recipe out there before Thanksgiving was upon us. I'll be making this again on Thanksgiving and i'll try to get a better picture then.<br />

I decided to go with some apple pie filling mainly because I've never canned pie filling before. <br />
<br />
I always forget how much work it takes to make apple pie. The apples turn brown so quickly and I feel like it always takes me forever to core the apples and get them sliced up. This is the best part of canning. I now have 7 pints of apple pie filling that I can use without having to do much work!!!<br />

<u><b>Canned Apple Pie Filling:</b></u><br />
(adapted from <a href="http://www.freshpreserving.com/recipe.aspx?r=123" target="_blank">Ball Canning</a>)<br />
<br />
12 cups sliced peeled cored apples, treated to prevent browning and drained (about 12 medium)<br />
Water<br />
2-3/4 cups granulated sugar<br />
3/4 cup ClearJel<br />
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger<br />
1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice<br />
2 1/2 cups unsweetened apple juice<br />
1 1/4 cups cold water<br />
1/2 cup lemon juice<br />
7 pint glass preserving jars with lids and bands<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
Prepare boiling water canner. Heat jars and lids in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Set bands aside.<br />
<br />
Blanch apple slices, working with 6 cups at a time, in a large pot of boiling water for 1 minute.<br />
<br />
Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm in a covered bowl.<br />
<br />
Combine sugar, ClearJel, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and apple pie spice in a large stainless steel saucepan. Stir in apple juice and cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, and cook until mixture thickens and begins to bubble. Add lemon juice, return to a boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Drain apple slices and immediately fold into hot mixture. Before processing, heat, stirring, until apples are heated through.<br />
<br />
Ladle hot pie filling into hot jars leaving 1 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band until fit is fingertip tight.<br />
<br />
Process jars in a boiling water canner for 25 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool.<br />
<br />
Check the lids for a proper seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed.<br />
<br />
** When using this in a pie you might find that one jar isn't quite enough to fill your crust. If this is the case just cut up a couple more apples and add to the whole mix. When the pie bakes everything will come together perfectly. <br />

I've also been on a bit of an Asian food kick so I've been trying to find some new dishes that incorporate my needs.<br />
<br />
I found this recipe from Cooking Light magazine. I love this recipe. I always have these ingredients on hand and I was able to whip it up really quickly. I think that this could serve as a main meal or as a side dish, depending on what you're looking for.<br />
<br />
The recipe doesn't call for the vegetable to be cooked at all which is fine, but since I did serve this warm I think next time I'll try to blanch the veggies a little bit.<br />

I was in the fall spirit (even though it's still 90 degrees outside) and decided to make some awesome pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. It has to be the most homey cookie ever.<br />
<br />
I like to make a big batch of these cookies and freeze the dough. You never know when you're going to need a pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookie... and you need to be prepared. <br />

(I know... pick yourself up off the floor)<br />
<br />
I've been experimenting with Asian flavors recently and decided to try them out with this tuna. It was a delicious and it was nice to have something a little different. This recipe uses some ingredients that I've bought for other recipes and haven't used all the much.<br />
<br />
Mr. T really enjoyed this so I'm hoping that you will too!<br />

I'm glad I did because they were delicious!<br />

I think that I might go ahead and add these to my Christmas Cookie Exchange list. I love the icing on top of these; it makes a lovely difference of texture on the cookie.<br />

(<a href="http://www.myownsweetthyme.com/2010/12/pecan-praline-cookies-with-brown-sugar.html" target="_blank">My Own Sweet Thyme</a>)<br />
<br />
<br />
1 cup butter, softened<br />
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar<br />
½ cup white sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
2 cups flour<br />
½ teaspoon baking soda<br />
¼ teaspoon salt<br />
½ cup finely chopped pecans<br />
Brown Sugar Frosting (see below)<br />
Pecan halves for garnish<br />
<br />
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer. Gradually add sugars, mixing well. Add egg and vanilla; beat well.<br />
<br />
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, soda and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring after each addition. Stir in the chopped pecans and chill dough for 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
When chilled, remove from the refrigerator. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls of dough on ungreased cookie sheets or sheets lined with parchment paper.<br />
<br />
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.<br />
<br />
After the cookies cool spread the brown sugar frosting over the tops of the cookies and top each cookie with half of a pecan.<br />
<br />
Makes about 5 dozen cookies.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Brown Sugar Frosting:</u></b><br />
<br />
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar<br />
½ cup half & half<br />
1 Tablespoon butter<br />
1½ cups sifted powdered sugar (plus a little more if needed)<br />
<br />
Combine brown sugar and half & half in a saucepan.<br />
<br />
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil 4 minutes.<br />
<br />
Remove from heat. Stir in butter. Add 1½ cups powdered sugar. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add a little more powdered sugar, if needed, to achieve a desired spreading consistency.Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18246677520484511573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616541927247444036.post-24098286652390707382012-10-15T07:00:00.000-04:002012-10-15T07:00:22.800-04:00Pumpkin Pecan Sticky RollsSince it's October and I'm obsessed with Fall and pumpkin stuff I decided to finally get around to making some pumpkin pecan cinnamon rolls. I've only been talking about this for a couple of years.<br />

I will admit that I am no expert in yeast breads or cinnamon roll dough but I ended up using WAY more flour than this recipe called for. My dough was really sticky and I had a horrible time getting it to a workable point. I didn't use bread flour like the original recipe did so that could be it... or it could be user error.<br />

<u><b>Pumpkin Pecan Sticky Rolls:</b></u><br />
(adapted from <a href="http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2010/10/pumpkin-cinnamon-rolls-with-caramel.html" target="_blank">The Girl Who Ate Everything</a>)<br />
<br />
1/3 cup milk<br />
2 tablespoons butter<br />
1/2 cup of canned pumpkin<br />
2 tablespoons sugar<br />
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg<br />
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice<br />
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1 egg, beaten<br />
1 (1/4 ounce) package dry yeast<br />
1 1/2 cups flour<br />
1/2 cup whole wheat flour *you can use all white flour, but I had both so I used both<br />
<br />
Filling:<br />
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed<br />
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon<br />
2 tablespoons melted butter<br />
1/2 cup chopped pecans<br />
<br />
Topping:<br />
1/2 cup chopped pecans<br />
4 tablespoons butter<br />
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice<br />
3 tablespoons brown sugar<br />
<br />
In small saucepan, heat the milk and 2 tablespoons butter just until warm and the butter is almost melted. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the pumpkin, sugar, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, ground ginger, and salt. Add the milk mixture and beat with a mixer until everything is well mixed. Beat in the egg and yeast.<br />
<br />
Add half of the flours to the pumpkin mixture and beat on low for 5 minutes, scraping the sides of bowl. Add the remaining flour and mix thoroughly. This is a very soft dough.<br />
<br />
Turn the dough out into lightly greased bowl, cover and let it rise in warm place until doubled, for about 1 hour. Punch the dough down and turn it out onto floured surface. Knead it for about a minute or until it forms a smooth dough.<br />
<br />
Roll the dough into 12x10 inch rectangle and brush the surface of the dough with melted butter.<br />
<br />
In small bowl combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the dough with the brown sugar mixture followed by the chopped pecans.<br />
<br />

Beginning with long side of the dough, roll the dough up like a jellyroll. Pinch the seam to seal it up. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into twelve 1- inch slices.<br />
<br />
In a small saucepan melt the butter and then add the pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, and pecans and stir well. Pour the sugar mixture into the bottom of a well greased 11x17-inch baking pan. <br />

<u><b>Spinach Turkey Pasta Bake:</b></u><br />
<br />
1 box ziti, baked al dente<br />
1 package ground turkey<br />
1 box frozen spinach, thawed and drained<br />
1 onion, finely diced<br />
2 cloves garlic, minced<br />
1/2 container reduced fat ricotta cheese<br />
2 cups reduced fat mozzarella cheese, shredded<br />
1/2 - 3/4 jar pasta sauce (or homemade)<br />
1 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
1 teaspoon onion powder<br />
1 teaspoon salt (if you like saltier things add more salt, I tend to under salt)<br />
1 teaspoon pepper<br />
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional<br />
1 teaspoon olive oil<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and heat a skillet over medium high heat.<br />
<br />
Heat the olive oil in the skillet and add the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Brown the turkey and add the diced onion and garlic. Once the onion starts to get soft add the spinach.<br />
<br />
In a medium bowl add the cooked pasta, browned turkey mixture, pasta sauce, ricotta cheese, and 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese.<br />
<br />
Pour the pasta mixture into a casserole dish and top with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese on top is nice and melted.Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18246677520484511573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616541927247444036.post-873079259620523132012-10-08T07:00:00.000-04:002012-12-13T08:30:05.263-05:00Flourless Chocolate CookiesI've been looking at a picture of these cookies for a couple of months. I love the fact that these cookies only have a few ingredients and are a great gluten and dairy free option for people that need those options. For the people that just like chocolate cookies... these are great for that too.<br />

<u><b>Flourless Chocolate Cookies:</b></u><br />
(<a href="http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/flourless-fudge-cookies-recipe" target="_blank">King Arthur Flour</a>)<br />
<br />
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar<br />
1/4 teaspoon salt<br />
1 teaspoon espresso powder, optional but good<br />
1 cup cocoa powder, Dutch-process (European-style) preferred*<br />
3 large egg whites<br />
2 teaspoons gluten-free vanilla extract<br />
<br />
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two baking sheets. Or line with parchment, and grease the parchment.<br />
<br />
Stir together all of the ingredients till smooth. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, and stir again till smooth.<br />
<br />
Drop the soft, batter-like dough onto the prepared baking sheets in 1 1/2" circles; a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here.<br />
<br />
Bake the cookies for 8 minutes; they should spread, become somewhat shiny, and develop faintly crackly tops.<br />
<br />
Remove the cookies from the oven, and allow them to cool right on the pan.<br />

Figs are sweet and since I didn't have any bacon or prosciutto around I decided on a fig cake.<br />
<br />
As I've said before chemistry is not my forte so I went looking for a basic cake recipe to use with my figs. I came across <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/fresh-fig-cake/" target="_blank">this</a> one on All Recipes and went nuts making to work for me.<br />

I used Brown Turkey Figs for this cake (I used up all my Black Mission Figs in the jam I made earlier that day). I don't honestly know what the difference is between them; Publix didn't have a good explanation on the picture.<br />

<u><b>Spiced Fig Cake:</b></u><br />
(adapted from allrecipes.com)<br />
<br />
<u>Ingredients:</u><br />
1/4 cup butter, softened<br />
1 cup white sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour<br />
2/3 cup whole wheat flour<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
2 teaspoons baking powder<br />
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk<br />
1/2 cup milk<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
1/4 teaspoon almond extract<br />
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon<br />
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />
1 cup chopped fresh figs<br />
<br />
<u>Frosting:</u><br />
3 figs, finely chopped<br />
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened<br />
2 cups powdered sugar<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
2 tablespoons fig jam (optional, but it's super good)<br />
<br />
<u>Directions:</u><br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with vegetable oil spray.<br />
<br />
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking powder.<br />
<br />
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Add flour mixture alternately with the two milks. Fold in vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped figs.<br />
<br />
Divide into two prepared 8 inch round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry. Let the cake cool before trying to frost.<br />

<u>To make the frosting:</u><br />
<br />
Using a mixer mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and jam (if using) together in a small bowl. Fold in the finely chopped figs and the fig jam. If you want the frosting to be thicker add more sugar. If it's too thick add a couple teaspoons of water or cream, but be careful not to add too much.<br />
<br />
<br />
This isn't going to be a frosting that comes out beautifully in a piping bag but it'll make a really pretty, homey looking cake (and it's delicious... so who the crap cares?!).Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18246677520484511573noreply@blogger.com0
