BRUSCHETTA SALAD

by Rebecca August 31, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep: 15mins | Additional: 15mins | Total: 30mins | Servings: 4 | Yield: 4 servings

This is the perfect summer salad. It is bursting with freshness that insanely explodes in your mouth. A light and delicious salad that you can make all year round. Made with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, Toasted Onion and garlic bagel chips, wine vinegar, and spices. You can easily customize this by skipping the cheese for a vegan Bruschetta Salad. But if you prefer more Bruschetta, just add some toasted bread or croutons. Either way, this salad is amazing! A no-fuss, super simple, and quick salad recipe to keep.

So what is a Bruschetta? It is an Italian snack or appetizer, pronounced as Bru-Sketta, that is eaten before dinner. I’ve never been to Italy but according to my good friend, Google, Bruschetta is a staple in every restaurant in Italy.

INGREDIENTS

6 Roma (plum) tomato

½ pound Cheese, mozzarella, part skim milk

1 cup Toasted Onion & Garlic Bagel Chips

½ cup Basil, fresh

½ red onion

¼ cup olive oil, extra light

3 tablespoons Regina Red Wine Vinegar-50 grain NB

2 large cloves Garlic, raw

1 tablespoon dried basil leaves

1 pinch Salt, table

HOW TO MAKE BRUSCHETTA SALAD

Step 1: In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, bagel chips, basil, red onion, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, basil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly combined.

Step 2: Place inside the fridge to chill for at least 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

NOTES:

This recipe is a basic salad which is a great base for all the salad mix-ins and extras you prefer.

You are welcome to use feta or parmesan cheese in place of mozzarella cheese.

Want a Vegan variety? You can skip the cheese and just add some more vegetables.

Add toasted bread or croutons to make this salad more bruschetta.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK QUESADILLAS

by Rebecca August 31, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep: 10mins | Cook: 35mins | Total: 45mins | Servings: 4 | Yield: 4 servings

I’m in the mood for a Mexican kind of dinner today. I prepared my kids favorite, Philly Cheesesteak Quesadillas. Quick and easy to make quesadillas filled with beef and melted cheese plus crisp onions and peppers in a toasted tortilla. Yum! A perfect make-ahead dish that is insanely good and perfect for the whole family! The amazing crispy quesadillas sandwich the savory Philly Cheesesteak. Mouthwatering and insanely delicious.

INGREDIENTS

1 1lb top sirloin Beef, separable lean only, trimmed to 1/4″ fat, all grades, raw

2 small Onions, raw

2 eaches Peppers, sweet, green, raw; green bell pepper

1 cup sauce, barbeque sauce

8 10inches flour tortilla

2 cups Cheddar cheese

HOW TO MAKE PHILLY CHEESESTEAK QUESADILLAS

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 425 degrees F or 220 degrees C.

Step 2: Place the beef into a skillet and cook over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the onions and green bell peppers and continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes more until the vegetables softened.

Step 3: Then, pour the barbeque sauce over the beef mixture. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce slightly reduces.

Step 4: Lay 4 tortillas on a baking sheet and spoon each with the beef mixture. Sprinkle each with cheddar cheese.

Step 5: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Then, flip the quesadillas and continue to bake for 5 minutes more until the cheese has melted.

NOTES:

If you want a hint of spice, add some hot sauce or sriracha to your sauce when spreading over the tortillas.

I prefer smaller tortillas as they need less filling and I can make more quesadillas but you can use any size of tortilla that you desire.

For this recipe, you can use beef round in place of beef sirloin.

Warning, this dish is crazy addictive! Simple yet bursting with savory taste that will make your mouth water every time. A fragrant dish with salty, sweet, buttery flavor that is a breeze to make. This no-fuss cabbage dish is cooked in tender perfection with bacon, onion, and garlic. Goes perfectly with corned beef, pot roast, grilled chicken, or pork. My personal favorite and my go-to. This recipe is a keeper and a must-try. Even your picky eaters will love this. A family-friendly dish that goes a long way. I made this last week and my friends were obsessed! This Fried Cabbage with Bacon, Onion, and Garlic never disappoints. Always a spotlight stealer!

INGREDIENTS

6 slices Pork, cured, bacon, raw

1 large onions, raw

2 cloves Garlic, raw

1 large head Cabbage, raw

1 tablespoon of salt, table

1 teaspoon spices, pepper, black

½ teaspoon spices, onion powder

½ teaspoon spices, garlic powder

⅛ teaspoon spices, paprika

HOW TO MAKE FRIED CABBAGE WITH BACON, ONION, AND GARLIC

Step 1: In a large stockpot, cook the bacon over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until crispy. Sautee the onion and garlic and cook for another 10 minutes until the onion caramelizes.

HONEY GARLIC CARROTS ARE BETTER THAN CANDY

by Rebecca August 29, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep: 10mins | Cook: 15mins | Total: 25mins | Servings: 6 | Yield: 6 servings

I got to tell you. My kids are super picky. I cannot further describe my everyday scenario just to have them eat healthy. Good thing there are recipes that I can always turn to like this Honey Garlic Carrots. At first, they were very hesitant to even touch it, funny but they looked as if they are investigating something. Then, that first bite changed everything! Now, every time I am making these honey-sweet, garlicky carrots they feel excited. It is so healthy delicious, I need to double the recipe because it never settles long. They want each a bowl.

2 cups Cookies, graham crackers, plain or honey

1 ½ cups Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached

1 teaspoon Leavening agents, baking soda

1 teaspoon Salt, table

1 cup of butter, with salt

¼ cup Sugars, granulated

1 ¼ cups Sugars, brown

2 egg, whole, raw, fresh

1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

HOW TO MAKE CHEWY CINNAMON COOKIES

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C.

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: In a large bowl, add the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat using an electric mixer until smooth. Then, beat in the eggs, a piece at a time to allow the eggs to blend into the butter mixture. Stir in the vanilla, then, mix in the flour mixture.

SEVEN LAYER MAGIC COOKIE BARS

by Rebecca August 29, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep: 10mins | Cook: 25mins | Total: 35mins

Look at that! Aren’t these pretty? I want them all for myself! These mini bars are filled with everything that makes me happy – butter, chocolate, butterscotch, and nuts. These are so good I want them for breakfast with a freshly brewed coffee. And I want them more for dessert, too! Perfectly sweet, outrageously chewy with courses of graham cracker crust, sweetened condensed milk, coconut, chocolate chips, and nuts!

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 14oz can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup butterscotch-flavored chips

1 1/3 cups flaked coconut

1 cup chopped nuts

HOW TO MAKE SEVEN LAYER MAGIC COOKIE BARS

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 325 degrees F if using a glass baking pan.

Step 2: Combine the graham cracker crumbs and butter in a small bowl. Then, firmly press this on the bottom of the 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

Step 3: Evenly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crumb mixture. And evenly layer with the rest of the ingredients. Use a fork to firmly press down the ingredients.

Step 4: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 5: Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Chill if desired.

Step 6: Then, cut into bars or diamonds. Store at room temperature, covered.

NOTES:

Use broken pretzels or M&Ms to make monster bars. You can use varieties of nuts that you desire such as pecans, walnuts, mixed nuts, or almonds. Or just left them out entirely if you are not a fan of nuts.

Try using a package of Schar brand Graham crackers to make a gluten-free cookie bars. One package will provide you with the exact amount of graham crackers you need for this recipe.
