Chicken Enchiladas

I had never made enchiladas before but I made this last night and believe me I will make it again. I never knew how much prep work goes into making enchiladas but the end result is well worth it. Even my kids loved it! As my five, correction: soon-to-be-six-year-old said, “It’s yummy in my tummy!” Serve with rice and beans and you’ve got a complete meal. Oh! And don’t forget the margaritas!

Chicken Enchiladas

Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle cilantro over enchiladas before serving.

Key Lime Yogurt Pie

I have a confession. I have a sweet tooth. It seems I always have to end my meal/day with a sweet treat. However, if I indulged in what I really crave – chocolate, cookies and brownies – every day, I’d be 15 lbs. heavier. Lucky for me (and you), I found the perfect low-calorie dessert – Key Lime Yogurt Pie. Not too sweet but a little tart and tangy, this dessert definitely assuages my sweet tooth craving. And to top it off, it has less than 200 calories per serving!

Key Lime Yogurt Pie

Ingredients
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin
4 oz (half of 8 oz package) fat-free cream cheese
3 containers (6 oz) each) Yoplait Light Thick & Creamy Key Lim pie Yogurt
½ cup frozen (thawed) reduced-fat whipped topping
2 teaspoons grated lime peel
1 reduced-fat graham cracker crumb crust (6 oz)

Directions
In 1-quart saucepan, mix water and lime juice. Sprinkle gelatin on lime juice mixture; let stand 1 minute. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved. Cool slightly, about 2 minutes.

Fold in whipped topping and lime peel. Pour into crust. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours

Stuffed Red Peppers

Weeknights are a breeze when you plan ahead. Here’s an easy, affordable and delicious meal that is perfect for a chilly winter night.

Stuffed Red Peppers
Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients
4 large red bell peppers
¾ pound ground chuck
½ pound ground pork
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
2 teaspoons House seasoning, recipe follows
1 cup cooked rice
½ cup jarred cheese and salsa
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup hot water

Start by cutting the peppers in half lengthwise, leaving the stems intact, and halving them also. Remove the seeds and ribs inside the peppers.

Using a hot skillet, sauté the ground beef, pork, garlic, 1 teaspoon of bouillon granules, and house seasoning together. Drain the fat off. Add the rice, cheese, tomatoes and soy sauce. Mix well and stuff the mixture into the peppers. In a small bowl, mix the hot water and the remaining bouillon granules. Pour this mixture into a shallow casserole large enough to hold all of the peppers. Place the stuffed peppers in the dish, cover with foil and bake for 25 to 35 minutes. Remove the foil and spoon the juice from bottom of the casserole over the top of the peppers. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
¼ cup black pepper
¼ cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months

Sweet-and-Spicy Pecans

As much as I love my sweets, I also love me some salty stuff every now and then. And when I crave salty I want potato chips. But since potato chips aren’t the healthiest things, I find myself snacking on nuts. Be it almonds, cashews or walnuts, nuts are packed with vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps kick pesky free-radicals out of your body and creates antibodies that fight the bacteria that make you sick. Interesting fact, huh? These pecans and cashews are packed with cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and a touch of sugar for a spicy-sweet snack.

Sweet-and-Spicy Pecans
Makes 4 cups

Ingredients
1 large egg white
2 cups unsalted pecan halves
2 cups unsalted roasted cashews
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt

Directions
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl until foamy. Add the nuts, sugar, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix well. Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the nuts are mostly dry but still slightly sticky, about 40 minutes.

Remove the nuts from the oven and stir. Reduce the temperature to 200 degrees F. Return the nuts to the oven and bake until crisp, about 30 more minutes. Stir to loosen the nuts from the baking sheet; cool completely on the sheet.

Baked Fudge

Valentine’s Day is here and you know what that means… it means baking a lot of gooey, yummy, fattening desserts that scream, “I love you!” What better way to say “I love you” than with some fudge. This batch of chocolate-y goodness will have you falling in love all over again. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Baked Fudge
Serves 4

Ingredients
2 whole eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons (heaping) cocoa
2 tablespoons flour
½ cups butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Beat eggs until light in color. Beat in sugar until just combined. Add cocoa, flour, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix gently until well combined.

Pour batter into four large ramekins or one 8-inch square baking dish. Set ramekins or pan into a larger pan halfway full of water.

Bake 40 to 50 minutes, or until upper crust is crispy and the rest of the batter is firm but not set. Toothpick should come out…not clean, but mixture should not be overly runny. If you pull it out of the oven and have second thoughts, stick it back in for ten more minutes.
Serve with sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Chocolate Fondue

There’s no dessert that screams Valentine’s Day more than a pot of bubbling chocolate fondue. To make your fondue experience super memorable, serve the melted chocolate with an exciting array of dippers. Think outside of the box and offer slices of bananas, salted pretzels or even dried apricots.

Chocolate Fondue
Yields ½ cup

Ingredients
1 pint fresh strawberries, washed, dried and hulled
1 pint fresh raspberries
2 bananas, peeled, cut into 2 to 2 ½ inch slices
12 ounces thick, salted pretzels
4 ounces dried apricots
6 ounces roasted, salted almonds
4 to 6 recipes Enriched Chocolate Sauce, recipe follows

Directions
Arrange all of the fondue elements on a platter.

Serve Enriched Chocolate Sauce warm with the fondue elements.

Enriched Chocolate Sauce
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 teaspoons dark rum
1/8 teaspoon grated orange zest

In a medium saucepan over low heat, bring the cream, sugar, cinnamon and butter to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts. Add the rum and stir in the orange zest before serving.

Spinach and Mushroom Ravioli

This Valentine’s Day create an elegant dinner at home: No reservations required.

Spinach and Mushroom Ravioli
Serves 2

Ingredients
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons for boiling water
6 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
¼ cup mascarpone
1/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus extra for garnishing
6 egg roll wrappers (6 1/2 by 6 1/2-inch squares)
2 large eggs, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
½ cup mushroom (cremini, shiitake, button), finely chopped
2 cups tomato sauce, recipe follows
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions
In a large sauté pan heat ¼ cup of the olive oil. When almost smoking, add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook until all the liquid has evaporated from the mushrooms, about 6 minutes. Add spinach and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and place mixture into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until you get a coarse texture. Place in bowl and stir in mascarpone and Parmesan cheese. Check for seasoning and set aside.

Line up 3 wrappers on a cutting board. Brush with the egg and water mixture. Using a tablespoon, arrange 4 dollops of the filling on each wrapper – 2 on the first row and 2 on the second – 1-inch apart. Place another wrapper directly on top, pressing around the filling and sealing the edges. Using a fluted ravioli cutter, cut out squares of ravioli. Each filled wrapper will yield 4 raviolis, giving you a total of 12 ravioli. Place ravioli onto a floured baking sheet and keep covered with a linen towel.

In a large pot, bring to a boil 4 quarts of salted and oiled water. Carefully add small batches of ravioli, about 3 to 4 at a time. This will prevent them from crowding in the pot and sticking together. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spider strainer, carefully remove the ravioli and place on the plate. Tent with foil to keep warm and continue cooking remaining ravioli.

In a sauté pan, heat remaining ¼ cup olive oil. When almost smoking, add chopped mushrooms and sauté until soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Carefully pour in tomato sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.

Divide ravioli between 2 serving plates. Top with mushroom tomato sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Simple Tomato Sauce:
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 dried bay leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional

In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.

Add ½ the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.

Makes 6 cups

Hamburger Buddy

We could all use some help some weeknights. Those nights are when we typically reach into the pantry and pull out the old standby Hamburger Helper. Make your own healthier version at home with this recipe. Very finely chopping onion, mushrooms and carrots in the food processor is not only fast – it makes the vegetables hard to detect for picky eaters. They also form the base for the sauce of this ground beef skillet supper. Make it a meal: Serve with a green salad.

Hamburger Buddy
Serves 6

Ingredients
3 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
2 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
10 ounces white mushrooms, large ones cut in half
1 large onion, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pound 90%-lean ground beef
2 teaspoons dried thyme
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 cups water
1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium beef broth, divided
8 ounces whole-wheat elbow noodles, (2 cups)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or chives for garnish

Directions
Fit a food processor with the steel blade attachment. With the motor running, drop garlic through the feed tube and process until minced, and then add carrots and mushrooms and process until finely chopped. Turn it off, add onion, and pulse until roughly chopped.

Cook beef in a large straight-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped vegetables, thyme, salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables start to soften and the mushrooms release their juices, 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir in water, 1 ½ cups broth, noodles and Worcestershire sauce; bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

Whisk flour with the remaining ¼ cup broth in a small bowl until smooth; stir into the hamburger mixture. Stir in the sour cream. Simmer, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parsley (or chives), if desired.

Spanish Tortilla

Here’s a yummy recipe to improve your health. Don’t confuse this with the flour or corn tortillas you use to make wraps. A Spanish tortilla is a potato-and-egg omelet found on numerous menus throughout Spain. Traditionally these are cooked in heaps of olive oil. This version uses less oil, so it’s lower in calories, and if you use precooked diced potatoes, it’s faster too.

Spanish Tortilla
Serves 6

Ingredients
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 cup precooked diced red potatoes, (see tip)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
6 large eggs
4 large egg whites
1/2 cup shredded Manchego, or Jack cheese
3 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes, thyme and paprika and cook for 2 minutes.

Lightly whisk eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Gently stir the potato mixture into the eggs along with cheese, spinach, salt and pepper until combined. Wipe the pan clean; add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and heat over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, cover and cook until the edges are set and the bottom is browned, 4 to 5 minutes (it will still be moist in the center).

To flip the tortilla, run a spatula gently around the edges to loosen them. Invert a large plate over the pan and turn out the tortilla onto it. Slide the tortilla back into the pan and continue cooking until completely set in the middle, 3 to 6 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

Tip: Look for precooked diced potatoes in the refrigerated section of most supermarket produce departments.

Brownie Cookies

I saw this recipe on a friend’s blog last week and had to try it for my Super Bowl party yesterday. And they were a hit! Brownies and cookies marrying together to make the perfect cookie – what’s not to like? These are just like the “end” brownies everyone clamors for – crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It was love at first bite!

Brownie Cookies
Yields 36 cookies

Ingredients
1 box fudge brownie mix
1 stick butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1 cup chocolate chips.

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all ingredients except for chocolate chips in a large bowl. Mix for about two minutes until well combined. Then add chocolate chips and gently fold into batter.

Drop batter by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cookies should rise, but should still be soft in the middle. Remove from baking pans immediately and cool for 5 minutes.

Grilled Chicken & Pineapple Quesadilla

You would think being from Hawaii, I would like pineapple more, but the truth is I don’t. The only way you can get me to eat pineapple is if it’s grilled. It would have never occurred to me to stick some inside a quesadilla. But trust me the grilled pineapple is what makes this recipe really yummy. Enjoy!

Grilled Chicken & Pineapple Quesadilla
Serves 6

Ingredients
8 whole flour tortillas
Butter or margarine
2 cups grilled pineapple, sliced
3 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 cups Monterey jack cheese, grated
1 whole jalapeno, sliced
Cilantro
3 tablespoons barbecue sauce

Directions
To grill pineapple: cut wedges, stick on skewers, and grill over low heat. Cut into slices.

To pound chicken: Place inside a Ziploc bag and pound with a mallet or large can to flatten to uniform thickness.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and Cajun spice (or cumin/cayenne, etc.) Drizzle olive oil on a grill pan and grill on both sides until done, brushing with barbecue sauce. Set aside and slice into very thin slices.

Warm griddle over medium heat and put sizzling butter or margarine in the pan. Slightly warm and toast tortillas on both sides, then remove from griddle and set aside.

To assemble, sprinkle four browned tortillas with grated Monterey jack. Arrange chicken slices evenly over the surface. Add pineapple slices and jalapeno slices. Sprinkle on cilantro. If desired, drizzle extra barbecue sauce over the top. Add second browned tortilla on top of each one. (You’ll have four complete quesadillas at this point.)

Add to oven to warm, or back to skillet to warm, until cheese is melted. Cut each quesadilla into six wedges. Serve with sour cream, pico de gallo, and lime wedges.

Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls

Just so nobody can say I’m biased, I thought I’d throw in a Pittsburgh recipe just for good measure. And anyhow, I love food so no matter what city, state or country it hails from if it’s good, I’m all over it. This is a twist on the Philly Cheese Steak. Crispy egg roll on the outside with a delicious cheese steak filling on the inside. Even if the Steelers lose, you’ll still be a winner with this recipe.

Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls
Yields 8 egg rolls

Ingredients
Canola or vegetable oil, for frying
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 to 2 small jalapenos, thinly sliced (depending on how hot you like it)
1 pound roast beef, thinly sliced
16 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded
8 egg roll skins

Directions
Preheat oil to 350 degrees in medium saucepan. Fill with enough oil that egg rolls will not rest on the bottom of pan. Mix egg and milk together, in a small bowl, for egg wash.

In medium sauté pan over medium heat add olive oil and peppers. Sweat vegetables until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add roast beef and sauté about 5 minutes more. Add cheese and mix thoroughly, until cheese begins to melt. Remove from heat, strain in a fine mesh sieve to remove excess moisture, and let cool.

Divide cooled mixture into 8 equal parts. Place mixture in center of each egg roll skin. Fold in side corners and roll, sealing edges with egg wash. Submerge egg rolls in oil and fry, making sure the rolls do not touch the sides or the bottom of the pan. Fry in batches, to avoid over-crowding until golden brown. Remove egg rolls to paper towels to blot excess oil. Cut egg rolls on bias, place on a serving platter and serve hot.
