Good Food Good Friends - Holiday Green Vegetables

-


This week in our group we could choose a green vegetable.  Something that might go well as a side with your holiday meal.

Can you believe it is only ten days until Christmas?  What a year this has been.  

In our family, we always make green bean casserole.  Its just what we love.  But for this post, I chose to do a broccoli dish.  We actually loved it.  I hope if you try it you will too!  It is easy!

For chicken broth, I have been using Orrington Farms broth base for quite some time and I love it.  Because it is a dry mix, I just mix with hot water and I always have broth on hand.
You can order from Amazon.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G9IS7K6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

In two weeks, we will make something special with carrots.  Check back then.  If you would like to join our group, please let me know.

Other team members are:


Broccoli Rice Casserole
Ingredients:
1 10 oz. bag frozen broccoli florets
1 (8.5 oz) pouch cooked basmati rice
1 cup spinach artichoke dip
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375F.  Combine all ingredients in a 2 quart baking dish.  Cover with foil and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.  Remove foil and stir.  Bake five more minutes and serve hot.

Wishing you all a very blessed Christmas!

Seems brocoli is THE green vegetable this week and I am until now the only one who didn't use it.

Interesting how the broth is labeled: No msg added, but yeast extract Sorry I could not resist, the food chemist is coming through :-)

This is the kind of thing I could just put a spoon into and eat way too much...it looks so good and I love all these ingredients so much. Maybe I should make a little one just to try it out, right? Just for research purposes, of course.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
