Crash Hot Potatoes

CRASH HOT POTATOES
12 whole New Potatoes (or Other Small Round Potatoes)
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Kosher Salt To Taste
Black Pepper To Taste
Rosemary (or Other Herbs Of Choice) To Taste

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make and cook them until they are fork-tender.
On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato.
With a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes, rotate the potato masher 90 degrees and mash again. Brush the tops of each crushed potato generously with more olive oil.
Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or thyme or whatever herb you have available.)
Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
I used basil and fresh Parmesan cheese. I also think garlic would be really yummy. They were really good!

Cranberry Pork Roast

Ok so Last night I made a whole new dinner and it was a big hit with the fam. I even took pics. So I hope everyone tries this dinner it was so YUMMY!!! They best pork roast I have ever had.

Cranberry Roast

1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1, 2-4 lb roast (I used pork in the picture above)
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
salt and pepper

Place the rings of onion in the crock pot. Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper to taste. Place the roast on top of the onions. Next add the 2 Tbsp. of soy sauce, just pouring over the top of the roast. Dispense the cranberry sauce on top of the roast. Cook on low for 6 hours. About one hour before serving, shred the pork with two forks. That way it will soak up all the juices and be tender, delicious when you serve it

Super Moist Bundt Cake

Ok I made this last night and it is really moist. I finally found a moist choc bunt cake. Enjoy!!!

Beat in powdered sugar with electric mixer until thickened and smooth. Pour warm frosting over warm cake. This recipe makes a lot of frosting.

Mom's New Beef Stew

I got this from The Biggest Loser Cookbook, so you know it's healthy! I love the sweet potatoes instead of regular ones too. We are having it tonight (no that doesn't mean I'm adding a picture), and the kitchen smells great.

1 Tb whole grain oat flour (I use wheat flour)
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt
pinch of black ground pepper

1 lb. top round steak, cut into 1" cubes
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
8 oz button mushrooms, halved (or other small mushrooms sliced)
1 onion, chopped
1 TB minced garlic
1 tsp dried thyme
2 cans (14 oz each) lower sodium, fat free beef broth
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" cubes


In medium resealable bag combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the beef and shake the bag until all the cubes are coated. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Set a large non-stick pot over med-high heat until water will sizzle. Add the oil. Add the beef cubes from the bag and brown (about 1 min per side). Reduce the heat to medium. Add the mushrooms, onion, garlic, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 min or until the onion is tender.

Add broth and carrots. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer. Cover and cook for 45 minutes.

Add the potatoes. Cook for another 45 minutes.



And for everyone watching their diets I'll share the health info. This makes 9 servings of 1 cup each.

Tortellini Spinach Salad with Balsamic Tomato Vinaigrette

When I brought this to lunch the other day I didn't have any artichokes or feta cheese and it still turned out okay. So, leave out or add in whatever you think will go well. I love the dressing!

Salad:
20 oz package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 (14.5 oz) can quartered artichokes
1 (9 oz) bag fresh baby spinach
1 (3 oz) bag sun dried tomatoes
1/2C crumbled feta cheese
1/4C diced red onion

Dressing:
9 Tbl balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 Tbl tomato paste
salt and pepper to taste
3/4C olive oil

Cook tortellini in boiling water until al dente. Drain and toss with a teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. Let cool in colander. In a large bowl, toss all the salad ingredients together after the pasta has cooled.

In a blender add all of the dressing ingredients except for the olive oil. Blend until smooth. While blender is running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until combined. Pour dressing over salad and toss (I never use all of the dressing.)

Syrup-less Waffles

My solution to less-mess breakfast before school:

Chocolate Chip Waffles:

3 eggs
1 TB vanilla
1 TB baking powder
1/2 c. sugar (only 2 tsp. if you're eating with syrup)
1 c. milk
1/2 tsp salt
2 c. flour
1/2 bag mini chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together and cook in heated waffle iron. I like to dust the top with powdered sugar, my kids don't though.

*For Chocolate dessert waffles: add 1 oz. melted chocolate and nuts if desired

**If you want regular waffles, just omit chips and reduce sugar to 2 tsp.

Chicken Pot Pie

I've been on a search for Chicken Pot Pie recipes. I found this one, kind of changed it, it was pretty good. I think it could be great with a little perfecting....

1 cup quartered ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots (5 to 6 oz)

1/2 cup sour cream
1 jar (12 oz) chicken gravy ~I made my own by melting butter, browning in flour, then adding Chicken broth and boiling until it got thick.

3 T. lemon juice
dried parsley
shepherd's bread --hollowed out

Mix all ingredients and place in bread bowl. Wrap in aluminum foil. Bake 3 hours at 225 degrees.

Stuffed Jalapenos

30 jalepenos
2 blocks cream cheese (I used fat free but you can use which ever kind you want)
1 lb. lean pork sausage or 1 package bacon (I used turkey bacon but again you can you which ever kind you want)

Wearing gloves, wash jalepenos then cut lengthwise in half and scoop out all the seeds. For the sausage kind, cook sausage in a pan until done and add the blocks of cream cheese until melted and mixed well. Scoop this mixture into the jalapeno half and place on baking sheet. Cook on 300 for 1 hour.

For the bacon kind, scoop the cream cheese (just right out of the package) into the jalapeno half and top with a piece of bacon just long enough to cover the whole top (you can also wrap the bacon all the way around the jalepeno but this only works for regular bacon). Place on baking sheet and cook on 300 for 1 hour.

Baklava

Ingredients you will need:

• 1 lb Walnuts - Finely Chopped (I use pecans)
• 1/2 C. Sugar
• 2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1.5 C. Butter (3 sticks), Melted
• 1 Package Frozen Phyllo Dough (16 oz) Thawed • 1 C. Sugar
• 1 C. Water
• 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1 C. Honey (Net weight 12 oz.)
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla


________________________________________
The steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. Combine and set aside walnuts, 1/2 cup sugar, and cinnamon
3. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the bottom and sides of a 10x14" (about 1-2" deep) pan with melted butter.
4. Open the phyllo dough and layer 6 whole leafs (or 12 half leafs) in the pan, buttering each layer as you go. (The edges will extend over the side.)
5. Spread 1 cup of the walnut mixture.
6. If your phyllo dough comes in full sheets, cut the remaining phyllo dough in half.
7. Layer 8 half sheets -- butter each layer. Each sheet will be an inch or so short, so stagger the sheets from corner to corner to cover the whole pan. I use a pattern so I don't forget how many layers I've put down, but it's even easier if you have a friend help!
8. Spread 1 cup of the walnut mixture.
9. Repeat 8 sheets and walnut mixture twice. You will end up with 4 layers of nuts.
10. Layer the remaining half sheets on top -- butter each layer.
11. Brush the top with the remaining butter.
12. Trim the edges off.
13. Cut halfway through the layers using the diagram to the right. (Note: Do NOT cut from corner to corner.) This is done now since it will be very fragile after it's been baked.


14. Bake 1 hour or until golden brown.
15. 15 minutes before the baklava should be done, mix 1 cup sugar, water, and lemon juice in a sauce pan.
16. Cook sauce over a medium heat, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes.
17. Remove from heat, add the honey and vanilla, and stir until well blended.
18. Remove the baklava from the oven and finish cutting through the layers.
19. Pour the sauce over the hot baklava.
20. Cool. Let it sit for at least 24 hours (lightly covered -- but not in the refrigerator)
