Buffalo Chicken Stromboli



Buffalo Chicken Stromboli

Serves 4, or 2 very hungry eaters.  I sliced into 8 strips to serve at a party.

I used shredded chicken instead of turkey, and a premade pizza dough.  This is a fantastic stromboli.  LOVED it!
Slightly adapted from: Naturally Ella

Dough:
I used a canister of premade pizza dough, but the blog linked above has a recipe for homemade, if you prefer

Filling:
1 lb. boneless chicken breast
1/4 cup Frank's red hot sauce
2 T. butter, melted
1 cup diced onions
3/4 cup bleu cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella
Oil, parmesan, and fresh parsley for topping


Cook chicken on a grill, in a skillet, or by poaching.  Once chicken is cooked through, shred or dice into 1-2″-1″ cubes and combine with Frank’s red hot and butter.  Increase the amount of Frank's if you prefer a spicier dish.

Pre-heat oven to 425˚ with a baking stone (if you have one).

Role out pizza dough into a 16″x10″ rectangle with the 16″ edge parallel to your body. Leaving a 1″ border, spread chicken over dough (drizzle a little of the extra Frank’s over the chicken-about 2-3 T). Sprinkle Onions, Bleu cheese and mozzarella on top of that (the amount of cheese is really up to you).  Beginning with the side closest to you, begin to roll the stromboli away from you. When finished, seal each end edge and the long edge by pinching the dough. Cut three-four slits in the top and brush with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh parsley and parmesan. Slide onto baking stone (or sheet tray) and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the filling begins to bubble out and the crust is golden. Let cool slightly before cutting.

2 t. olive oil
2 c. chopped onion
4 t. minced fresh garlic
1 t. dried Mexican oregano

Turkey Meatloaf AND Meatballs


Turkey Meatloaf AND Meatballs

Makes enough for 2 meals, each with 2-3 servings.

Here's a healthier twist on two classics. Nothing can compete with the taste of traditional ground beef for me, but these are nice for a change from the usual.
Source for meatloaf: Skinny Taste blog


Here's your base recipe:
1.3 lb 93% lean ground turkey
1 large egg
1/2 small onion, minced
1 T. olive oil

Additional ingredients you'll need for the meatloaf:
1/4 c. oatmeal
1/4 c. ketchup
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 t. marjoram
salt
additional ketchup, BBQ sauce, or shredded cheese for topping

Additional ingredients you'll need for the meatballs:
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper


Preheat the oven to 350°. In a medium bowl mix turkey, onion, egg and olive oil until well combined.  Divide mixture in half and transfer one half to a second bowl.
To the meatloaf bowl, add oatmeal, ketchup, salt, Worcestershire, and marjoram.  Divide into 2-3 equal loafs and place on an ungreased nonstick baking pan.  Top with ketchup or barbeque sauce if desired.  Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes.  Add a topping of shredded cheese for final 10 minutes, if desired.

You could also wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to bake.  Simply thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as directed.

To the meatballs bowl, add breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or freeze on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag.  Thaw overnight in fridge before baking.

Key Lime Coconut Squares


Key Lime Coconut Squares

Serves 2.

Labor Day weekend is upon us.  And that means that summer is just about over.  I must admit: As much as I hate to see summer go, I love knowing that we have embarked on my favorite month of the year.  And crisp fall days are in our future.  Beautiful leaves, football games, hot cider, and pumpkin. 
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
The reason for posting these Key Lime Coconut Squares is to urge you to make the most of these last days of summer: sunshine, warmth, barbeques, and cool drinks.  And what says summer better than key limes AND coconut???
Source: Small Batch Baking cookbook

For the crust:
Unsalted butter, at room temperature, for greasing the loaf pan
1/4 all-purpose flour
3 T. confectioners' sugar
1 t. grated lemon zest
2 T. sweetened flaked coconut
Pinch of salt
2 T. unsalted butter, chilled and diced

For the filling:
1 large egg
1/3 c. sugar
1 T. all-purpose flour
1 T. fresh key lime juice
1 t. grated lemon zest
Pinch of salt
About 1 T. confectioners' sugar

Pan required:
1 petite loaf pan (2 c. capacity, about 5"x3")

Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.  Grease and butter the mini loaf pan.

Make the crust: Place the flour, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, coconut, and salt in a medium-size mixing bowl.  Add the butter pieces and cut them in with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture is crumbly.  Press the mixture in an even layer into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan.  Bake until the crust is beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.  Remove the pan from the oven and set it aside.  (Keep the oven on.)

Make the filling: Place the egg, sugar, flour, key lime juice, lemon zest, and salt in a small bowl and whisk to blend well.  Pour the filling over the warm crust.  Bake until the filling is set, about 20 minutes.  Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely, about 1-1/2 hours.

Cut into 2 pieces and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Spinach Manicotti


Spinach Manicotti

Serves 4-5.

Don't you love it when healthy food tastes awesome??? The original recipe says to use 8 manicotti shells, but I found the filling went further than expected.
Source: Everyday Food magazine

coarse salt and ground pepper
10 manicotti shells (from an 8-oz. package)
1 t. extra-virgin olive oil
1 container (15 oz.) part-skim ricotta cheese
1 c. finely grated Parmesan cheese (2 oz.)
1 t. finely grated lemon zest
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 c. prepared marinara sauce
1/4 t. dried oregano
2 T. heavy cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta shells according to package directions. Drain well and arrange in a single layer on an oiled rimmed baking sheet.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine ricotta, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and lemon zest. Stir in spinach and season filling with salt and pepper.

Transfer filling to a large zip-top plastic bag. Twist and squeeze bag so filling is in one corner. With scissors, snip a 3/4" opening in corner. Pipe filling into both ends of each pasta shell. Arrange stuffed shells in an 8" square baking dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk together marinara sauce, oregano, and cream. Pour sauce evenly over stuffed shells and top with 1/2 cup Parmesan. Bake until sauce in center of dish is bubbling and Parmesan is browned in spots, about 30 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

A Note From The Little Lady: If dish has been made ahead of time and refrigerated, increase baking time to 50-60 minutes.

Baked Tortellini with Bacon


Baked Tortellini with Bacon

Serves 2-3.

Simply amazing. The original recipe says this will serve 6, but I disagree. It IS a richer dish, so it's probably best paired with a large salad, which will stretch the servings to 4-5, but if this is the main and only dish, plan on 2-3. And you'll like it enough that you won't want to share with many others.
Source: Everyday Food magazine

4 slices bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2" pieces
1 small white onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
coarse salt and ground pepper
1 T. all-purpose flour
2 c. whole milk
2 pkgs. (8.8 oz. each) cheese tortellini
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a medium saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper tower to drain. Add onion and garlic to pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds.

Slowly add milk, whisking constantly. Add tortellini and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer; cook, stirring often, until liquid has thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in bacon and 1/4 c. Parmesan. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish and top with 1/4 c. Parmesan. Bake until top is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.

A Note From The Little Lady: Feel free to use variations on the cheese tortellini. We had great success with mixed herb. Also, if you would like to make this ahead of time, reduce oven temperature to 350; bake for 35 minutes and then increase temperature to 400 for a final 10 minutes, bringing total baking time to 45 minutes.

Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes, For 4


Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes, For 4

Serves 4.

This is perfect when you want cheesecake for 4 but don't want all the leftovers that a standard cake would give you. Plus, they're cute and taste great too.
Adapted From: Small-Batch Baking cookbook

crust:
1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 t. sugar
2 T. butter, melted

raspberry reduction:
1 c. fresh or frozen raspberries
1/4 c. sugar

filling:
1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1/2 t. pure vanilla extract
1 T. whipping (heavy) cream
raspberry reduction


Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Line the insides of (4) 4-oz. ramekins with foil and then grease with butter, shortening, or nonstick spray. Try to make foil as smooth as possible, but know that there will be some unavoidable creases. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.

Make the raspberry reduction:
Add raspberries to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar. Bring the mixture to a low boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Boil, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes. Remove from the pan and let the raspberry reduction cool completely.

Make the crust:
Place the crushed graham crackers and the sugar in a small bowl, and stir to mix. Add the melted butter and toss with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Spoon the crumb mixture into the prepared ramekins, dividingit evenly among them. Gently press down the crumb mixture with your fingertips. Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer ramekins to a wire rack. Let the crusts cool while you prepare the filling. Keep the oven on.

Place the cream cheese and sugar in a medium-size mixing bowl and beat with a hand-held electric mixer on medium speed just until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 45 seconds. Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, reduce the mixture speed to low, and beat just until they are blended into the cream cheese mixture, 15-20 seconds. Then stir in the cooled raspberry reduction to create a swirled look. Spoon the batter into the crusts, dividing it evenly among them. Return the cheesecakes to the oven on the baking sheet and bake the cheesecakes until they are just set, 24-25 minutes.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the cheesecakes to a wire rack. Let them cool completely in the ramekins. Then cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

When ready to serve, carefully remove cheesecakes from ramekins by pulling out edges of foil. Unwrap, plate, and enjoy!

Creamy Spinach Casserole


Creamy Spinach Casserole
