KEEP YOUR KITCHEN COOL WITH THIS SLOW COOKER PEACH UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

by Rebecca August 26, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep: 30 min | Cook: 2 hrs | Additional: 30 min | Total: 3 hrs | Servings: 8 | Yield: 8 servings

Happy International Dog Day! Today, I am pampering my fur baby. I am making him our favorite Peach Upside Down Cake. A warm, gooey, and luscious dessert that is insanely easy to make. This slow cooker cake unquestionably makes my life easier and the result is nothing but superb!

INGREDIENTS

3 15oz cans sliced peaches in a heavy syrup, drained well

5 tablespoons butter, melted

⅔ cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon nutmeg

1 ½ sticks butter softened

1 cup white sugar

2 large eggs

½ teaspoon pure almond extract

2 cups flour

2 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER PEACH UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Step 1: Place the peach slices between layers of paper towels to dry for about 20 minutes. Gently press, replacing any soaked towels.

Step 2: In the meantime, add the melted butter into the bottom of a 6-quart oval slow cooker.

Step 3: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this over the melted butter.

Step 4: In a tight layer, arrange the peaches on top of the brown sugar. If you need to make a partial second layer to fit the peaches, then do so.

Step 5: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly every after each addition. Then, add in the almond extract and beat well.

Step 6: In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the flour in batches alternately with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix the batter until incorporated. And place spoonfuls over the peaches, spreading evenly.

Step 7: To absorb any condensation when baking, drape the paper towels over the slow cooker. Then, cover with the lid. Cook for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours on high heat or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8: Then, remove the lid and paper towels. And with oven mittens, remove the liner from the slow cooker. Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before running a knife around the edge to carefully turn the cake out onto a serving plate.

SMOTHERED HAMBURGER STEAK

by Rebecca August 26, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep: 14 min | Cook: 36 mins | Total: 50 min | Servings: 8 | Yield: 8 servings

This classic Southern dish has so much savor and every bite is just amazing! Homemade burger steaks smothered into a luscious mushroom gravy – pretty simple, not fussy dinner idea that your whole family will love. This is the ultimate comfort food. It is way delicious you’ll be craving for this every day!

INGREDIENTS

2 eggs

2 tablespoons minced onion

1 tablespoon beef base

½ teaspoon black pepper

3 slices white bread

2 pounds lean ground beef

1 10.75oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup

1 10.75oz can water

1 dash Worcestershire sauce

HOW TO MAKE SMOTHERED HAMBURGER STEAK

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk the eggs, onion, beef base, and pepper. Add in the bread (tear into large pieces) and let the pieces soak up the mixture for several seconds before adding in the ground beef. Mix until incorporated.

Step 2: Form the meat mixture into 8 patties.

Step 3: Fry the patties n a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 8 minutes on each side until browned and the center is no longer pink.

Step 4: Remove from the skillet and set the cooked patties aside.

Step 5: Discard the excess grease from the skillet before whisking in the mushroom soup, water, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Add the patties back into the skillet, pouring the sauce over the patties. Bring the sauce into a boil over medium-high heat. Then, reduce the heat to simmer and continue cooking for about 20 minutes until the sauce thickened and the flavors blended.

NOTES:

Make sure to make your patties big because they will shrink a bit when cooking. And to keep the patties from puffing up too much, make a small indent in the middle using your thumb. These will guarantee that they will turn into hamburger steaks instead of meatballs.

If you are using an electric skillet, heat the skillet to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C.

ZUCCHINI TOMATO PIE

by Rebecca August 26, 2020
written by Rebecca

This looks a lot like a pizza. A pizza and a pie! This savory, super good Zucchini Tomato Pie has the best of everything. Healthy, fresh, and guilt-free. It is perfect to serve for breakfast or dinner! A gluten-free vegetarian pie that you can enjoy any time, any day!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup chopped zucchini

1 cup chopped tomato, drained and blotted dry

1/2 cup chopped green onions

3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 cup Bisquick

3/4 cup milk

3 eggs

1 teaspoon no-salt lemon pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon oregano

1-2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

HOW TO MAKE ZUCCHINI TOMATO PIE

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.

Step 2: Then, lightly grease the bottom and side of a 9-inch pie plate.

Step 3: In a bowl, combine the chopped zucchini, tomato, and onion. Add in the cheese and mix well.

Step 4: Transfer into the prepared pie plate and spread.

Step 5: In another bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients using a fork until combined. Then, pour this over the cheese mixture.

Step 6: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Step 7: Once done, remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes.

NOTES:

Smaller tomatoes work great with this recipe like Roma and Campari or tomatoes in a vineyard. Using a beefsteak tomato is way too bigger and contains so much fat.

Place the pie in the oven with just the right temperature. Too much heat will lead to a browner pie edge. I suggest using a pie shield if available to protect the edges.

Keep cooking the pie if it appears watery in 5 minutes intervals to release the water. Cover the edges of the pie with foil or use a pie crust shield to ensure that the edges will not burn.

This one of a kind Buttermilk Pie is luxuriously sweet and fluffy with a subtly crackled sugar shell. A treat that is most loved by many. This traditional pie has been around for ages and it never fails to fill everyone’s tummy with goodness. I am very much lucky I have a grandmother that is obsessed with all kinds of pie. This buttermilk pie is one of her favorites. During my eighteenth birthday, she taught me how to make this. And instead of a birthday cake, we served this instead. I will not forget that day, it was so special, my loved ones singing me happy birthday. A simple celebration with my favorite pie and humans.

With only pantry ingredients, this pie is amazingly good. Pretty simple and not fussy, you can make this whenever you want! Best of the best and a real keeper!

INGREDIENTS

1 3/4 cups sugar

1 stick unsalted butter, room temp

3 large eggs

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

pinch of salt

1 cup buttermilk

1 9-inch unbaked pie crust

HOW TO MAKE BUTTERMILK PIE

Step 1: In a bowl, place the sugar and butter. Cream until well blended.

Step 2: Then, one at a time, beat in the eggs until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3: Stir in the vanilla, salt, and flour, beat in buttermilk until thoroughly combined.

Step 4: Line a baking sheet with foil. Add the pie shell and fill it to the top with the buttermilk mixture.

Step 5: For the remaining batter, pour it into an ungreased custard cup.

Step 6: Place inside the oven and bake at 300 degrees for about an hour and 10 minutes.

Step 7: Once done, remove from the oven and allow the pie to sit until nearly cooled before serving.

Step 8: If not serving yet, store the pie in the fridge covered.

written by Rebecca

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 10 mins | Additional: 2 hrs | Total: 2 hrs 30 mins | Servings: 8 | Yield: 8 servings

Wow! This recipe of salad just blew my mind! I love everything about this salad. From the broccoli to the sunflower seeds, from red grapes to bacon! It is just too complete. Everything you wish for a salad is present in this recipe. I have listed all the steps. Just follow them and you are in for a treat. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

8 slices bacon

⅓ cup sunflower seed kernels

1 large head broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces

⅓ cup diced red onion

1 cup seedless red grapes, halved

1 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 pinch ground black pepper to taste

HOW TO MAKE BROCCOLI SALAD WITH RED GRAPES, BACON, AND SUNFLOWER SEEDS

Step 1: Place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high.

Step 2: Place bacon and cook for 10 minutes or until the color turns brown and slightly toasted.

Step 3: Remove the bacon and place them on a plate with pepper towels. Remove the excess oil.

Step 4: Take 7 pieces of the bacon and crush. Add in a resealable bag with the sunflower seeds.

Step 5: In a medium mixing bowl, add in the grapes, broccoli, and onion. Stir until well mixed.

Step 6: Crush the rest of the bacon then place in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 7: Add in the sugar, vinegar, mayonnaise, and black pepper into the bowl with the crushed bacon.

Step 8: Pour dressing on top of the broccoli mixture. Toss until all the mixture is coated entirely.

Step 9: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place inside the fridge for 2 hours to incorporate all the flavors.

Step 10: Sprinkle the bacon-sunflower seed mixture on top of the salad. Make sure to spread it nicely.

If you do not have sunflower seeds, you can use almonds instead. I only use red grapes with raisins and apple cider for the best result.

Sprinkle the crumbled bacon right away before serving to preserve its crunchiness.

LEMON CHEESECAKE BARS

by Rebecca August 25, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep: 10 min | Cook: 40 mins | Additional: 2 hrs 45 min | Total: 3 hrs 35 min | Servings: 16 | Yield: 1 9×13 pan

These bars have that perfect combination of sweet and tangy. The moist crust and the jelly-like lemon filling is so pretty you want to just stare at these bars before eating. Made with traditional shortbread crust, cheesecake, and lemon layers – these are the freshest and the most delish lemon cheesecake bars you’ll ever have.

INGREDIENTS

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups shortbread cookie crumbs

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup cold butter

For Cheesecake Filling:

2 8oz packages cream cheese softened

2 cups white sugar

4 eggs

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

½ cup lemon juice

3 tablespoons lemon zest

½ teaspoon baking powder

4 teaspoons confectioners’ sugar

HOW TO MAKE LEMON CHEESECAKE BARS

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

Step 2: Then, with aluminum foil, line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.

Step 3: In a medium bowl, mix the shortbread crumbs, flour, and brown sugar. Using 2 knives or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4: At the bottom of the prepared pan, press the butter mixture.

Step 5: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes.

Step 6: In the meantime, with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and white sugar until thoroughly blended. Add in the eggs and flour. Then, stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and baking powder.

Step 7: Pour this cream cheese mixture on top of the crust.

Step 8: Return in the oven and bake for another 25 to 28 minutes or until the center is set.

Step 9: Once the center is set, remove from the oven and allow the bar to cool completely for at least 45 minutes. Then, place in the fridge for 2 hours to chill.

Step 10: When ready to serve, sprinkle over the confectioners’ sugar. Enjoy!

NOTE:

To ensure that the batter will not get too much air as it will cause the cheesecake bars to puff up when baked, don’t overbeat the batter. Overbeating might cause the bars to collapse when taken out from the oven.
