Bacardi Rum Cake Recipe - Recipe for Bacardi Rum Cake - Cake Mix Recipe. Cheesy Vegetable Chowder. This recipe has a long history with my little family.
I got the original version from my sister-in-law when my husband and I were newlyweds. We had just moved into our condo with the bright red kitchen. I have such fond memories of that kitchen! Anyway, the only veggies in the recipe back in those days were potatoes, and it called for turkey bacon. I remember thinking "heck no! " Cheesy Vegetable Chowder 2 Tablespoons butter 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 cup finely chopped carrot 1 celery stick, finely chopped (feel free to add more celery if you like celery; I don't, so I don't add much) 1 Tablespoon minced garlic 4 cups chicken broth (I usually use a mixture of low-sodium chicken broth and broth made with chicken soup base because it gives it such nice flavor) 2 large baking potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 Tablespoon flour 1/2 cup water 2/3 cup milk 2 cups chopped broccoli 2 heaping cups shredded cheddar cheese Melt the butter in a large soup pot.
Creamy Orzo with Asparagus & Parmesan. ***After making this Athenian Orzo recently, I was inspired to try another orzo dish.
Every once in a while, I'll get a little more creative than usual in the kitchen and attempt something completely new without using a recipe. This Creamy Orzo with Asparagus & Parmesan was my reward! This turned out way better than I expected. Brad and I both loved this side dish! The creamy orzo pairs perfectly with the yummy crunch of the asparagus...and of course, parmesan makes everything better!
Because it's been a few days since I made this, I am going to guesstimate at the quantities of the ingredients. Creamy Orzo with Asparagus & Parmesan Ingredients: 1 cup orzo 1 cup asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces 1 tbsp butter or margarine 1/4 to 1/2 cup cream 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese Salt & Pepper, to taste Directions: Bring a large sauce pan of water (filled about halfway) to a boil over medium heat. Once the orzo and asaparagus are cooked and tender, drain and return to the pot. Voila!
Baked ziti. My husband calls me after work the other day, “I’m at Publix, long day (insert sigh), can you make Baked Ziti (insert baby voice) please?
What do you need?” Um, okay. I told him to pick up ground beef or sausage, but he comes home with ground turkey so I decide to turn my normal Baked Ziti into a healthier version. This is a lighter take on a traditionally rich and heavy American-style Baked Ziti. I’ve used ground turkey, light ricotta and reduced-fat cheese, and reduced the amount of both those ingredients. Please check out my Baked Manicotti – it’s delicious! I like to always include at least one type of fresh herb in most of my pasta dishes – here I used fresh thyme and with the ground turkey and onions it really is delicious.
Vegetarians can substitute the turkey with vegetarian “meat” crumbles or chopped mushrooms. Like this: Like Loading...
