Pantry Revisited

Italian night is our theme this week!  So many delicious recipes that I could've chosen!  I chose Ellie's chicken zucchini Alfredo.   So glad I did!  It was easy to make and I had all of the ingredients in my pantry!  We both really enjoyed this dish.   You sauté some zucchini, then pan sear some chicken, boil the fettuccine, then make a sauce from milk, flour and Parmesan cheese.  I have never made Homemade Alfredo sauce but I will be making it again!  So delicious! You can find the recipe  Here Our website is  ewellie.wordpress.com

This week it was my choice of a theme for our Ellie krieger group. I chose as our theme "stuff it."  Of course that left me with the task of finding something to stuff.  There's always potatoes or mushrooms or turkeys or chickens.  I found Ellies stuffed turkey burgers and decided to go with that.  They are delicious. I did have to leave out the roasted red peppers though because my husband will not eat them.  Although you cannot see it in the picture there is mozzarella cheese stuffed inside.   It makes for a very moist burger.

i am a few days late posting for the Ellie Krieger group.  Gaye chose mexican madness for our theme this week.   After looking through Ellie's recipes, I knew I wanted to try the breakfast burrito.  The week got pretty hectic and I never got around to making them for breakfast.  So here we are....Sunday afternoon....watching the super bowl and enjoying our breakfast burritos!  I know it is not typical Super Bowl food.   But I have to say these burritos are delicious.  Photo does not do them justice.  They are filled with scrambled eggs and cheese, tomatoes, avocado, black beans, rotel and sour cream.   Who wouldnt love that?   We accompanied them with tostitoes and I made salted caramel brownies for dessert.

This week in our Eating with Ellie group we are making soup!  Soup is one of my favorite things to prepare.  I chose Ellies fall vegetable soup.  While I know it is not fall, it certainly feels like it here in Alabama this week!  So it seemed like a good fit for the weather!  We have had some beautiful weather lately.   I changed a few ingredients. I do not care for chickpeas so I just added some diced mixed vegetables.  I did also add diced butternut squash which the recipe called for. It smells so good cooking!  I used spinach instead of kale. This was a very flavorful soup!  We loved it.  Will definitely be making this again.  You can get the recipe  Here  or purchase Ellie Krieger's Weeknight Wonders . You can check out our website Here

This week in our Ellie krieger group it was my turn to choose the theme!  I chose barnyard fun. So you could make anything that came out of a barnyard!  I chose Ellies herbed pork tenderloin.    Pretty simple to make.  You make a mix of the dry spices and rubs on to the tenderloin.  Then you sear it in a skillet for 10 minutes.   Then finish cooking in the oven on 450.  I made some ranch potatoes to go with it.  Served up along side i made my new favorite dish of zucchini, tomatoes and kalamata olives.   Just fry that up together in a bit of olive oil until zucchini is tender.   This was a great meal. I love all of Ellies cookbooks that I own. You can easily go to Amazon and order yourself one.  You can also find the recipe online  Here Check out our website to see what the others in the group made.   Here

It seems very fitting in these times of unrest and division our nation is experiencing right now to make Dorie's World Peace cookies.  These are simple to make and simply delicious.  I made this once before when we were in the Tuesday with Dorie group.  I had forgotten how good they really are! Some friends were having us over to learn to play a card game called "hand and foot."  I was to bring a sweet.  So I killed two birds with one stone and took these World Peace cookies.  They were a big hit and we absolutely LOVED the hand and foot card game!  I am sure we will be playing it lots in the upcoming months. My darling husband got me the Cookies with Dorie cookbook for Christmas.  I am looking forward to making every single cookie in that book! The cookie ingredients included flour, brown sugar, cocoa, butter, vanilla flavoring, sea salt and regular sugar.  You just mix up and then roll the dough into a log and freeze for a few...

I am running a couple of days behind!  I would be willing to bet some of you are as well?  After all tis the season!  Kayte chose as our theme this week to do foods regarding Christmas. There are so many choices out there. I decided to think outside the box and make a little healthy breakfast dessert. You could eat it at anytime of the day. But we chose to add it to our Christmas Eve breakfast as a special treat. It is extremely easy to whip up. It is vanilla yogurt, frozen raspberries, whipped cream and confectioner sugar.  I did not add the confectioners sugar but instead added a teaspoon of peach schnapps just to seem a little more festive!  The name of the dessert is raspberries fool.  Not sure why Ellen Krieger called it that but it is delicious.  We thoroughly enjoyed our little treat and the added sugar was not needed.  You can find the recipe online. Blessings to your family during this holiday season and happy new yea...
