Custard Peach Pie

by Rebecca May 7, 2020
written by Rebecca

A variation in the theme peaches and creams is our custard peach pie. Fresh peaches meet a creamy custard, which is surrounded by an amazing crumbling. We use a shop to save time, but if we are capable, we love it. we love it. We can, therefore, concentrate on filling: sliced fish coil made of custard-covered Greek yogurt. For spicy warmth that adds something special to the pie, we add a little cinnamon and nutmeg. In the oven and out, a little while, a sweet creamy pastry is a complete slice of the sky.

Our custard peach pie combines one of the best fruits of the summer with our favorite desserts. The pastry is creamy and has a nice crumbly top to add texture. This dessert, of course, is perfect on itself, but we can not withstand the addition of a scoop with fresh whipped vanilla ice cream. A pie like this should be shared, so invite family and friends to have a sweet piece – it’s peachy.

Ingredients:

For Filling:

1 unbaked pie shell

1 1/2 pounds fresh peaches or about 5-6 peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, optional

For Toppings:

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

1 pinch salt

Directions:

Put the pie crust in the base of the pie dish, preheat the oven about 425 degrees F. As desired, squeeze out the edges.

Arrange peach slices in the lower circles of the pie crust to fill the base of the pie dish.

Whisk Greek yogurt, egg yolks, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup meal, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix in a separate bowl.

Use an aluminum foil to cover pie edges.

In the oven, put the pastry and cook until the cooking center is ready 30-32 minutes.

While baking the pie, make 1/3 cup flour with 1 1/2 tbsp of sugar and 1 pinch of salt topping together.

Sprinkle the streusel over the pie after the oven is out in the oven. Return to the oven for 15 minutes or until the pie is slightly browned.

Peanut Butter Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting

by Rebecca May 7, 2020
written by Rebecca

For this Peanut butter cake, fans of peanut butter will become crazy. I’m a great fan of all peanut butter. I always asked for my mother’s home-made peanut butter cake with peanut butter frosting. It was actually her best homemade cake, and it is ideal to feed a crowd. Sometimes, when we feed more than just an immediate family, we cut our cakes into smaller pieces. A traditional cake pan can easily get a few smaller pieces. I know some make an old fashioned butter sheet. Cakes made in sheet pan are great, but a thick, moist cake with a thicker frosting layer has something to say.

This is an old, fashionable cake with a lot of flavors. The recipe I thought was very tedious and I didn’t try to make it myself. I can’t think I’ve been waiting so long to make this peanut butter cake with peanut butter frosting.

Ingredients:

For Cake:

2 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour.

2 cups of light brown sugar.

1 cup of peanut butter.

½ cup of butter.

1 tsp of baking powder.

½ tsp of baking soda.

1 ¼ cups of milk.

2 tsp of vanilla extract.

3 eggs.

For Frosting:

½ cup of peanut butter.

2 tbsps of honey.

1 tsp of vanilla extract.

2 cups of powdered sugar.

4-5 tbsps of milk.

Directions:

Mix the flour, sugar, peanut butter, and butter together with an electric mixer into a large bowl. Add in the baking powder, baker soda, milk, vanilla, and eggs to mix well at medium speed for 3 minutes.

Put the batter in a preheated oven to 350 ° C for 35 to 40 minutes, in a greased and floured 10×15 cake pan.

Let the pastry cool for 10 minutes prior to frosting

For the Frosting:

Heat in the microwave peanut butter and honey, add the remaining ingredients and beat smoothly. Sprinkle over the hot cake with 1 cup of chocolate chips.

Tip:

Personally, with a cup of mini chocolate chips on top, I double the frosting. The frost is much better for the cake to taste.

by Rebecca May 7, 2020
written by Rebecca

These Enchanted Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas are the best creamiest enchiladas chicken ever. The sauce is to die for cheesy, white enchilada. If you wonder how to make enchiladas, try this easy enchilada chicken recipe. An enchilada is a rolled tortilla, then covered with a sauce and baked with a filling (usually meat). The cream cheeses are filled to Enchilada with creamy chicken, tomatoes, and green chilies. The creamy, white enchilada sauce is then on top of it. I’m honest to tell you that I think sour cream chicken enchiladas will be a pain, but they’re very easy. This is more like a sour cream enchilada casserole, which makes it even easier. An excellent New Mexican enchilada for our Christmas dinner every year. On a plate, serve 2 to 3 enchiladas and cover with lettuce and tomatoes. Choose your guacamole or sour cream or both.

Ingredients:

2 cups cubed cooked chicken

1 cup sour cream

⅛ teaspoon salt

1 pinch ground black pepper

½ cup vegetable oil for frying

12 (5 inch)s corn tortillas

1 (4 oz) can chop green chilies, drained

2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions:

Preheat the pan at about 400 ° F (200 ° C). Grease the bakery for 9×13 inches. In a bowl, combine chicken, sour cream, salt, and pepper.

Heat oil on medium-high heat in a saucepan, into the hot oil, toss the corn tortillas one at a time, about 10 seconds each. Take a tablespoon of chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Into the prepared baking dish, place seam side down. Sprinkle the green chilies with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top, after all, tortillas are filled and roll.

In a preheated oven, bake until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are warm for 12 to 15 minutes.

Note:

I cooked my own chicken breasts for the shredded chicken, but the easiest choice was to shred the remains from a chicken rotisserie. I also use a can of chicken soup to make things easy.

by Rebecca May 7, 2020
written by Rebecca

Georgia is well-known for its peaches and perhaps one of the best-known recipes in the state is peach cobbler. The best way to enjoy the dish is to make a fish cobbler from scratch. Moreover, it is super easy to make and completely heavenly to eat. To make that dish, we don’t have to order special peaches from Georgia. All we do is collect fresh peaches from our local food shop or farmers’ market and a wonderful dessert will come out of the oven in an hour. If it’s not optional to use fresh peaches, then collect a bag of frozen peaches, but if there are, it is better fresh. Peaches are sweet by themselves, but some other ingredients take them from sweet to peachy.

Our recipe is as simple as it is. The most difficult part is to peel the peaches, but the motivation we need to know how sweet the reward is at the end of this work of love. It all provides the best in summer goodness about this channel. Serve warm or cold, whipped cream with vanilla bean ice cream. Create your own mouthwatering Peach Cobbler, and enjoy.

Ingredients:

6-8 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

1 stick unsalted butter, melted

1 cup flour

1 cup of sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

⅛ teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Juice from ½ lemon

Directions:

Preheat oven for about 350 degrees F

In the middle of the 9×13-inch baking platter, pour the melted butter.

Combine flour, 1 c of sugar, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Slowly add extract of milk and vanilla and mix. Pour batter over the butter, but don’t mix.

In high heat, fill a saucepan with brown sugar, peach slices, and lemon juice. Stir often until sugar is melted completely and peaches emit their juices.

Fill the peaches over batter tops. Do not stir.

Bake cobbler 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden.

Serve either warm or cold or with an ice cream scoop.

EXTRA Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders

by Rebecca May 7, 2020
written by Rebecca

This recipe may have crossed your mind somehow. Maybe you’re asking if you can get the same crunch when baking instead of frying. Well, this recipe says yes! Extra crispy chicken tenders right from the oven. They’re so finger-licking good that’s bursting with flavors! But comparing to the fried chicken tenders, for oven-baked tenders, we need to coat them in breadcrumbs. I used Panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs) that’s perfect for chicken tenders. Also, you may want to toast your breadcrumb first before coating so the moisture will be minimal.

Equipment to use

Large Baking Tray + Wire Rack (optional)

Cooling Rack

3 Large Bowls

Small Bowl (for spice mix)

Sharp Knife & Chopping Board

Frying Pan & Wooden Spoon

Ingredients (checklist)

1.3lb or 600g Chicken Tenders OR Chicken Breast, sliced into strips & at room temp

1/3 cup or 70g Flou

1 1/4 cups or 75g Panko Breadcrumbs

1 heaped tbsp butter

1oz  or 30g freshly grated Parmesan

1 Egg, beaten

2 tbsp Milk

1 teaspoon each of Paprika and Salt

1/4 teaspoon each: Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper

1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper to taste

Oil Spray

How to Make Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders

Place the frying pan on the stove and set to over medium heat. Melt the 1tbsp. butter and add in 1.25 cups or 75 grams of Panko breadcrumbs. Keep frying for 5 minutes or more until you achieve light golden breadcrumbs. Remove the pan from the heat.

Ready the oven and preheat to 200 degrees C or 390 degrees F.

Quick & Healthy Dinner: 20 Minute Honey Garlic Shrimp

by Rebecca May 7, 2020
written by Rebecca

For a quick & healthy dinner idea, this 20-Minute Honey Garlic Shrimp is what you are looking for. It is very easy and quick to make. Super delish and savory. Best served with brown rice (drizzle the sauce over the rice) and vegetables, grill on skewers, or serve over salad. This recipe is unquestionably recommended especially for busy moms like me.

Ingredients

1/3 cup of honey

1/4 cup of soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)

1 Tbsp. jarred minced garlic or 2 teaspoons fresh*

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger (optional)

1 lb medium uncooked shrimp, peeled & deveined

2 teaspoons of olive oil

chopped green onion for garnish (optional)

How to make Honey Garlic Shrimp

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.

Step 2: Use a large zipped-top bag or Tupperware to mix the shrimp and 1/2 of the marinade mixture. Place the marinated shrimp in the fridge for 15 minutes or up to 8-12 hours. For the leftover marinade, cover it and place it in the refrigerator.

Step 3: While allowing the shrimp to marinade, steam the broccoli and microwaved some quick brown rice.

Step 4: Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Pour some olive oil and heat. Place the shrimp without the marinade in the skillet and cook for about 45 seconds on each side or until pink. Pour the leftover marinade over the shrimp and continue to cook for 1 another 1 minute or until the shrimps are cooked through.

Step 5: Transfer the cooked shrimp with the marinade sauce on a serving plate. Garnish with green onions and serve. Enjoy!

Tips: When using a refrigerated jarred minced garlic, use only 1 tbsp. If garlic is freshly minced, use 2 teaspoons instead. As for the shrimp, you can remove the tail or leave it on (depends on your preference), what’s important is you use fresh shrimp (if possible, if not frozen shrimps are okay).

If you cook something so nice, apparently kids will just dig in without asking what’s in it! Try this amazing recipe. Surprise your kids tonight! Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 3/4 c. low-sodium chicken stock

2 c. instant brown rice  (if you use white rice or non-instant rice, the cooking time and amount of liquid needed may differ)

1 pound broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped into bite-size pieces

3/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided

3/4 tsp. garlic powder, divided

1/2 tsp. black pepper, divided

2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

2 cups of milk, divided (I used skim)

3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

1/3 c. nonfat plain Greek yogurt

1 1/2 c. reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese, divided (about 6 ounces

How to make Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole

Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a deep 9-inch-square baking dish or a 3-quart casserole dish.

Ready the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Put a rack in the middle part of the oven. Grease the deep 9-inch square baking dish lightly. (You can also use a 3-quart casserole)

Bring a large pot into a boil with the chicken stock in it and add rice.   Add in the broccoli on top of the rice and do not stir. Cover and turn the heat low. Cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove the pot and let it sit for another 5 minutes to dissolve the liquid in the rice.

Place a deep pot with olive oil in the oven and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the chicken breasts, 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder, 1/4 tsp. of pepper, and 1/2 tsp. of salt. Sauté the ingredients until it’s cooked for 4-6 minutes. Check if the chicken is cooked through by looking if the center is not pink then move to a plate. At this stage, the pot is really hot so be very cautious not to hurt yourself.

Now, turn the heat to medium. Add in 1/2 cup of milk and flour in a small bowl or a big measuring cup. Pour in the mixture into the pot and add the remainder of the milk. Cook for 7-10 minutes while stirring until the texture turns thick. Turn off the heat and add in the Dijon, 1/4 tsp. of garlic powder, 1/4 tsp. black pepper and 1/4 tsp. salt. Add in the 1 cup of shredded cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.

Add in the broccoli mixture, saved chicken breasts, and rice into the cheese sauce. Stir mildly to coat the 3 ingredients with the sauce. Transfer the mixture into the dish and sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese over the top. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until foamy and hot. Let it sit for another 10 minutes and it’s for serving!
