PECAN PIE BARK

by Rebecca October 5, 2022
written by Rebecca

This pecan pie bark recipe is one of my favorites! It’s versatile, and you can easily modify it according to your preference.

Ingredients

1 c. unsalted butter

12 sheets of graham crackers

1 c. brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 c. pecans, chopped

1/4 teaspoon salt

HOW TO MAKE PECAN PIE BARK

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking sheet with foil and grease with vegetable oil.

Step 2: Into the prepared baking sheet, tightly line up the Graham crackers, breaking the crackers to fill in any gaps.

Step 3: Place the butter, brown sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring everything to a boil over medium heat and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the pecans and continue to cook for another 30 seconds. Then, take the pan off the heat.

Step 4: To the mixture in the pan, stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5: Over the Graham crackers, pour the mixture. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Take the dish out of the oven when done and allow the bark to sit in the pan, undisturbed.

Step 6: Allow the bark to cool completely before breaking it apart.

Tips:

For the base, you can also use broken pieces of vanilla wafers or saltine crackers in place of Graham crackers. Or use different varieties of Graham crackers such as cinnamon Graham crackers or chocolate Graham crackers.

Feel free to use any kind of nuts like almonds, walnuts, or a mixture of your preferred nuts.

You can swap the vanilla extract with 1 tbsp maple syrup if desired.

You can add about 2 to 3 tbsp of bourbon when adding the pecans to make a boozy pecan pie bark.

To make a chocolate pecan pie bark, add 1 c of chocolate chips to the saucepan with butter, sugar, and other ingredients.

How to keep the bark fresh:

Place the bark in an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

You can also freeze the bark. Make the bark in advance and keep the broken-up pieces of the bark in a freezer bag separated by parchment paper. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Custard cream:

Step 1: Warm the milk in a pot until slightly hot.

RIBEYE STEAK

by Rebecca October 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

Juicy steak with tons of amazing flavor! This Ribeye Steak is super easy to make and guarantees the best steak you’ll ever make! Enjoy a fancy dinner at home with this Ribeye Steak and pair it with baked potatoes or with a side of roasted asparagus, sauteed spinach, or salad.

Ingredients

2 tablespoon Butter

2 Rib eye steaks (around 1¼ pound each), at room temperature

1 tablespoon Avocado oil (or another high smoke point oil like canola)

1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

2 teaspoons Kosher salt

HOW TO MAKE RIBEYE STEAK

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 500 degrees F.

Step 2: Using paper towels, pat dry the steaks, then season all sides with salt and freshly ground pepper. Allow the meat to stand for about 30 minutes at room temperature.

Step 3: Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Once the oil is very hot, adjust the heat to medium-high. Add the steaks and sear for about 3 to 5 minutes until the first side is crusty. Sear the sides, flip and continue to sear the other side for another 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4: Into the preheated oven, transfer the hot skillet and bake for about 3 minutes for medium-rare or approximately 5 minutes for medium.

Step 5: To a cutting board or warm plate, transfer the steaks and loosely tent with foil. Allow the steaks to rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 6: Before serving, top the steaks with butter. You can serve the steaks, whole or you can slice each across the grain. Enjoy!

Notes:

Make sure to let the steak come to room temperature before cooking.

You can keep any leftovers in an airtight container and store them for up to 4 days. I like to pair leftover steaks on a salad because you do not need to reheat them. But if reheating, gently reheat the steak in the microwave at 50% power.

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE CRESCENT ROLLS

by Rebecca October 4, 2022
written by Rebecca

These blueberry cheesecake crescent rolls are my favorite! Stuffed with sweet cheesecake filling and bursting with fresh blueberries – these rolls are great to serve either for breakfast or snack. The best part is you can use any of your preferred fresh berries or a combination of your fave berries!

Ingredients

½ c. granulated sugar

8 oz. cream cheese (at room temperature)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 c. fresh blueberries

2 tubes (8 oz. each) of refrigerated crescent rolls

confectioners’ sugar, for topping

1 egg white

HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE CRESCENT ROLLS

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F. Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.

Step 2: Place the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Mix using a handheld mixer until just creamy.

Step 3: Along the perforated edges, separate the crescent rolls. On the prepared pan, lay each dough triangle flat, then top each with 1 tsp of the cream cheese mixture. Evenly divide the blueberries between each of the triangles.

Step 4: Roll the triangle up beginning with the long edges. To seal, gently press the tip of the crescent dough.

Step 5: With the egg white, brush the tops of each roll. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the rolls for about 9 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven when done and allow the rolls to cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 6: Before serving, dust the rolls with confectioners’ sugar. Enjoy!

Notes:

You can make the cream cheese mixture the night before, then assemble and bake the next day.

Do not leave the lemon juice out! This helps the mixture to stay together and guarantees a thicker texture.

For this recipe, you can use any or a combination of fresh berries.

Or swap the fresh berries with canned pie filling. On top of the cream cheese, place about 1 tbsp of the blueberry pie filling and roll as directed. To prevent the filling to seep out, make sure to punch and tuck the ends well.

You can also glaze the rolls instead of dusting them with confectioners’ sugar. To make a simple glaze, mix 1/3 c powdered sugar with 2 tsp milk until smooth, then drizzle this on top of the rolls.

Step 9: Remove from the oven when done and allow the casserole to cool for about 15 minutes. Before serving, garnish with some fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Notes:

You can substitute Marsala wine with Madeira, Sherry, Brandy, or Dry White Wine. I do not recommend using cooking wine.

For this recipe, you can use egg noodles, ziti, penne, rigate, fusilli, rotini, or any sturdy pasta.

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.

To freeze the entire baked casserole, tightly wrap the completely cooled casserole with plastic wrap, then foil. When ready to serve, thaw the casserole in the fridge overnight. The next day, tent the casserole with foil and reheat for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Ingredients

  • 2 packed cups coarsely chopped cooked chicken
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 8 ounces dried pasta ( I use egg noodles, but you can use your preferred pasta)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 16 oz. mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ c. dry Marsala wine
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ c. heavy cream
  • 2 c. low-sodium chicken broth or stock
  • 1 c. shaved/shredded Parmesan cheese – divided
  • ¼ c. chopped fresh parsley
  • 8 ounces block of mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Following the package directions, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain when done and set aside.

Step 3: Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often until tender. Then, add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Next, add the Marsala along with the heavy cream. Stir and let everything simmer for another 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Step 4: On top, sprinkle the flour. Continue to cook, stirring for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until the mixture just begins to turn light brown.

Step 5: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth/stock while scraping the bottom of the pan and stirring constantly.

Step 6: Decrease the heat to a simmer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more until the sauce has thickened. Then, add the pasta. Toss well to coat.

Step 7: To the skillet, add 3/4 c. Parmesan cheese, mozzarella, fresh parsley, and cooked chicken. Stir well.

Step 8: Into a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish greased with non-stick spray, transfer the chicken and pasta mixture, then top with the rest of the Parmesan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Step 9: Remove from the oven when done and allow the casserole to cool for about 15 minutes. Before serving, garnish with some fresh parsley. Enjoy!

This Cranberry Waldorf Salad is another of my ultimate favorite salad. I found this recipe years ago and this has become my ultimate go-to. This salad is an amazing addition to any family meal. It is loaded with colorful ingredients and bursts with amazing flavors! This Cranberry Waldorf Salad is indeed a crowd-pleaser!

This Cranberry Waldorf Salad is made with fresh tart cranberries, juicy grapes, raisins, and crisp fresh apples. This easy recipe is a traditional Cranberry Waldorf Salad recipe with mayonnaise. I have seen people not use mayonnaise on their Cranberry Waldorf Salad, salad, but I prefer the original recipe. This salad has combinations of different flavors and textures. Mayonnaise offset the tartness of the cranberries. Some people use yoghurt instead, but like what I’ve said I always stick to the original.

This Cranberry Waldorf Salad has a delicious flavor of fall because of the fresh and dried cranberries along with apples. This is a fresh salad with a touch of sweetness. This Cranberry Waldorf Salad is the perfect salad you can serve all year round! We love to serve this with turkey for a festive dinner. I even enjoy bringing this to picnics or potlucks.

Ingredients

Oreo Crust:

4 ounces unsalted butter-melted

14.3 ounces Oreo Cookies-ground

Chocolate Cheesecake:

1 1/4 c. sugar

2 tbsp cocoa powder

2 pounds cream cheese-softened

8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate-melted

3 eggs-slightly beaten with the fork

2 tsp vanilla

Coconut-Pecan Topping:

3 egg yolks

1 c. evaporated milk

4 ounces sweetened shredded coconut

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 c. light brown sugar

3/4 c. chopped toasted pecans

1/3 c. unsalted butter

Ganache for Swirls:

1 tbsp cocoa powder

4 ounces chocolate-chopped

1 tsp coconut oil

1 tbsp maple syrup

2/3 c. heavy cream

How to make German Chocolate Cheesecake

Oreo Crust:

Step 1: Using parchment paper, line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, then wrap the pan in heavy-duty aluminium foil. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 325 degrees F.

Step 3: Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Into the bottom and 1-inch up the sides of the prepared pan, press the mixture. Then, put it in the freezer until the mixture is firm.

Chocolate Cheesecake:

Step 4: Let the chocolate melt and set aside.

Step 5: Combine the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla. Beat in the cocoa along with the melted chocolate. Then, add the eggs and beat until just mixed.

Step 6: Over the crust, spread the mixture and smooth the top. Place the pan in the preheated oven. Under the pan, put a small pot filled with water. Bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes or until the middle is set. When done, turn the oven off and crack the door open. Leave the pan in the oven for an hour, then transfer it to the counter to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, place in the fridge to chill for 4 hours.

Step 7: Remove the ring from the springform pan once the cake has cooled and invert the cake onto a serving plate.

Coconut-Pecan Topping:

Step 8: Place the evaporated milk, butter, light brown sugar, and egg yolks in a saucepan. Let everything simmer while stirring for about 10 minutes until the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.

Step 9: Take the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla followed by the coconut and pecans.

Step 10: Set the toppings aside to cool before spreading them over the chilled cake.

Chocolate Ganache Swirls:

Step 11: Melt the chocolate cake with coconut oil. Add the maple syrup and stir.

Step 12: Then, stir in the cold heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the cocoa powder, stir, and set aside to cool.

Step 13: Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a piping bag, then create the swirls.
