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.  At this point, they are perfe

TWD - Steph’s Bakewell Tart

What is a Bakewell Tart, you might ask.  Apparently it all began in Derbyshire, England.  I had no idea it was popular with  The Great British Baking Show.   This classic  combines a buttery shortcrust pastry with a filling of raspberry jam, (or in my case blackberry jam), topped with an almond spongecake and almond slices. I think there are probably many different versions of the Bakewell. On my first attempt, my crust totally fell apart in the oven.  At that point, I went to plan b and made four mini tarts.  These worked perfectly for us.  I have a very thin layer of the jam and wish I had used a bit more.  We enjoyed this and it was a breeze to put together.   Check out Tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com for others.

TWD - Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

It is my turn to host! Almost three years ago I had no idea what a food blog was, much less that there were ladies and gentlemen all across the world baking and writing about such things, and sharing and growing with each other over recipes.  I'm not a chef or a great baker, but I do love to cook for my family so I decided to join in.  Since we are just two days past Mother's Day, I want to thank my sweet mother (who passed away three years ago) for sharing her love of cooking with me. My first Dorie recipe was a fruit galette.  I remember still how delicious it was.  I even remember the first comment I received on my blog.  It was like an award to me!  I still love reading all your comments, so thank you to those of you who regularly stop by to leave encouragement and stop for a second to say hello. Now about Dorie.  I love the way Dorie explains her recipes step by step.  While some of the recipes in her book "appear" complicated, I think any novice could fol
