Baked Salmon in Foil with Asparagus and Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce

by Rebecca September 2, 2022
written by Rebecca

Baked Salmon with asparagus in garlic butter sauce is an amazing dish great for a fancy dinner and entertaining. The salmon is wrapped in foil and baked until perfectly done.

Ingredients

4 tsp minced garlic (4 cloves)

2 salmon fillets

2 tbsp vegetable broth or chicken broth

1 tbsp of your favorite hot sauce (we used Sriracha)

2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley or cilantro

3–4 tbsp butter, diced into small cubes (or ghee)

1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, or to taste

1 pound (450 grams) medium-thick asparagus, woody ends trimmed

Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

How to make Baked Salmon in Foil with Asparagus and Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce

Step 1: Ready the salmon. Place them in different little foil packs. Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 425 degrees.

Step 2: On the countertop, lay a few sheets of foil (make two sheets).

Step 3: Place the broth, lemon juice, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Mix well to make the garlic butter sauce.

Step 4: Sprinkle some pepper and salt on both sides of the fillets. Divide the salmon and place each near the middle of the foil. On one side, place the trimmed asparagus. You can season the fillet with more salt and pepper if needed. Then, place the garlic on top. Drizzle the fillets and asparagus with a generous amount of garlic butter. Among the foil packets, divide the pieces of butter, layering them over the fillet and asparagus.

Step 5: Wrap the salmon and asparagus with the foil, crimping the foil edges. Make sure not to wrap the salmon too tight, instead leave a little space. On the baking sheet, place the foil packs of salmon. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 9 to 12 minutes or until the salmon is completely cooked.

Step 6: Remove from the oven when done and unwrap the salmon. Drizzle more lemon juice and garnish the salmon with parsley, cilantro, and slices of lemon. If needed, add a little more lemon and garlic butter.

Step 7: Serve and enjoy!

My Grandmother’s Hungarian Chicken Paprikash Recipe

by Rebecca September 2, 2022
written by Rebecca

This Hungarian Chicken Paprikash is a very comforting dish with dumplings and pieces of chicken in a flavor-packed broth. This dish is a no-fuss to make. Creamy, delightful, and the perfect meal to warm you up during the cold days.

Ingredients

1 whole cut-up chicken (skin intact)

1 Vidalia onion, chopped

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 chicken bullion cubes (or more to taste; 1 per c. of water added)

2 tablespoons sweet paprika

ADD THESE LATER TO THE BROTH:

4 tablespoons flour (or more to thicken if you like)

1 pt sour cream

3 teaspoons Lawry’s seasoning salt (optional, but adds flavor!)

1/2 pt water

DUMPLINGS:

6 cups all-purpose flour

3 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

4 eggs

How to make My Grandmother’s Hungarian Chicken Paprikash

Step 1: In a big pot, place the oil along with the chopped onion. Put the lid on and cook over medium/high heat until the onion is translucent. Take the pot off the heat, add the paprika to the onion, and mix well.

Step 2: In the pot, add the chicken and cook until a little bit browned. I bought a whole chicken, slice it into pieces, and made sure that the skin is intact.

Step 3: Pour water into the pot enough to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil. Add the chicken bullion cubes and Lawry’s seasoning salt. Put the lid on and simmer for about 25 minutes if using a regular pot or 15 to 20 minutes if making in a pressure cooker.

Step 4: In the meantime, whisk the sour cream, water, and flour using a hand mixer or Kitchen-Aid mixer until smooth. Set aside.

Step 5: To a colander, transfer the chicken pieces when done. Into the broth, gradually add the sour cream mixture, stirring constantly until blended. If desired, you can de-bone the chicken or just leave them intact.

Step 6: To make the dumplings, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Beat the eggs, water, flour, and salt in a mixer until you have a soupy dough. Into the water, scrape the dough a spoonful at a time. Cook for about 7 minutes until the dumplings rise to the surface,

Step 7: To serve, place the dumplings into serving bowls. Pour the sauce over and top with the whole piece of de-boned chicken. Enjoy!

Best Cinnamon Rolls

by Rebecca September 1, 2022
written by Rebecca

Cinnamon rolls are my favorite! They are super soft, fluffy, and gooey. These divine, melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon rolls are amazing and this homemade version guarantees the best results!

Ingredients

1 c. warm whole milk (110 to 115 degrees)

1/3 c. butter, melted

1/2 c. sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 package (1/4 oz.) of active dry yeast

4 to 4-1/2 c. of all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

Filling:

1/4 c. butter, melted, divided

2 tbsp ground cinnamon

3/4 c. packed brown sugar

Frosting:

1/2 c. butter, softened

1-1/2 c. confectioners’ sugar

1/4 c. cream cheese, softened

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/8 tsp salt

How to make the Best Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1: Dissolve the yeast into the warm milk. Place the sugar, butter, eggs, salt, yeast mixture, and 2 c. flour in another bowl and cream on medium speed until smooth. Whisk in enough flour until you have a soft dough.

Step 2: Onto a floured surface, turn the dough, and knead for about 6 to 8 minutes or until elastic and smooth. Transfer the dough to a greased mixing bowl, turning once to grease the top. Tent the bowl and keep it aside for 1 hour in a warm place until the size doubles.

Step 3: Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. After an hour, punch down the dough and divide it in half. Into an 11 x 8-inch rectangle, roll one portion of the dough on a lightly floured surface. Brush the dough with 2 tbsp melted butter and sprinkle with half of the brown sugar mixture to within half an inch of the edges.

Step 4: Roll the dough, jellyroll style beginning with the long side, pinching the seam to seal. Into 8 slices, cut the roll, and place them in a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish, cut-side down. Then, wrap the rolls with a kitchen towel. Do the same with the remaining dough and filling. Let the rolls rise for about 1 hour in a warm place or until doubled.

Step 5: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.

Step 6: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the cinnamon rolls for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven when done and allow the rolls to cool on wire racks.

Step 7: For the frosting, cream the butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Then, slowly add in the confectioners’ sugar. Sprinkle this over the rolls.

  • 2 c. confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C. Ready a fluted tube pan. Grease, flour, and set aside.

Step 2: In a bowl, place the white sugar and 1 1/2 c butter. Beat using an electric mixer for about 10 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 3: In a bowl, sift the flour, salt, and baking soda. To the buttermilk mixture, add 1/3 of the flour mixture. Mix well and add in half of the buttermilk. Mix again until blended. Add the rest of the flour mixture and buttermilk, beating well after each addition, ending with the flour mixture. Next, whisk in the lemon extract. Into the prepared tube pan, pour the batter.

Step 4: Adjust the oven temperature to 325 degrees F or 165 degrees C.

Step 5: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the cake for about 60 to 75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven when done and allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then invert to a plate or cake platter.

Step 6: To make the glaze, whisk the confectioner’s sugar, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons butter, and lemon zest in a bowl until smooth. Over the cake, pour half the glaze. Allow this to cool before pouring the rest of the glaze on top.

Southern Pimento Cheese

written by Rebecca

Total time: 10 mins | Servings: 10

Pimiento cheese has been one of my ultimate favorites for years! It is super easy to make using just a couple of simple ingredients. I love to serve this delicious Southern Pamineto cheese crackers and vegetables or in sandwiches.

This Southern Pamineto cheese is a popular dip all over the world! Creamy, cheesy, peppery, and tangy with an impressive spreadable texture. I also like mine with a little spice. I think this pimiento cheese is way better with a bit of kick!

Pimiento cheese is a favorite at home. I cannot remember how many times I’ve made this. It is a Southern classic that is loved by millions!

To make this Southern Pimiento Cheese, all you need are a few simple ingredients that you might already have on hand. For best results, I recommend avoiding strange preservatives. So the flavor shines, I always use a variety of extra-sharp cheese. I grate the cheese and I DO NOT buy pre-shredded cheese. And for irresistible savoriness, I use a combination of garlic powder and onion powder. If you also like your Pimiento with a bit of kick, you can include cayenne peppers, too.

INGREDIENTS

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 c. mayonnaise

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp Old Bay seasoning

2 c. sharp cheddar cheese, grated

2 tsp yellow onion, grated

1/4 tsp paprika

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 ounces jar pimentos, drained, 1 tbsp juice reserved

How to make Southern Pimento Cheese

Step 1: Place the mayonnaise, cream cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and Old Bay in a medium bowl. Mix well until blended and smooth.

Step 2: To the bowl, add the pimentos and reserved juice, onion, and cheddar cheese. Stir and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Place in the fridge until cold.

Step 4: Serve the Southern Pimento Cheese as a dip with celery and crackers. You can also spread this on burgers and sandwiches. Enjoy!
