Broccoli Rabe (different ideas that you can put with it)!!!

Do you like Broccoli Rabe and sometimes tired of the same old way of cooking it with garlic well here you go something different!!

You can use Broccoli Rabe in lots of different things here I will explain to you a few different ways to swing this recipe around to suit your taste buds that day!! You can easily add Sausage, Pepperoni and or Cannellini Beans have it like that or if you wish add it over your favorite pasta!! You can even make a Broccoli Rabe Bruschetta!! yumm!!

I buy the Andy Boy Broccoli Rabe maybe 1 or 2 bunches
garlic (as much as you like for flavor)
Olive Oil enough to coat bottom of frying pan
Squeeze of lemon juice
Splash of White Wine
Salt & Pepper to taste
Garlic Powder

*Can Cannellini Beans
*Sausage links or sausage meat
*Pepperoni chopped up
*Italian bread sliced with olive oil brushed on it
These * items are if you want to mix it up with the Broccoli Rabe!!

I sliver my garlic or keep in cloves and put in frying pan with olive oil heat up but don't make too hot!!
Take your Broccoli Rabe and take ends off not the flower and then chop the rest not too small and wash drain once that is done and oil is heating up put the cleaned broccoli rabe in the pan then you can put the white wine and splash of lemon juice and spices.
Let it cook it will shrink in the pan once cooked.
Sometimes for a kick I add a can of Cannellini Beans and then to really twist it up throw some chopped pepperoni and sausage yummmm!!
If you take some Italian bread and toast it you can put this Broccoli Rabe mixture on it and make your own special Bruschetta!!
Another idea mix it up with pasta!!
Sounds delish!!
Remember if you have an questions let me know I am here this is just a little recipe for you all to try.
I will be back soon with more ideas and recipes.

Delish Baked Potato Casserole!! Yum!!

Today was a crummy day lots of rain a damp day but thinking the snow might be melting a little!! Made some boneless pork chops one of hubby favorite with shake n bake I am not really a fan of shake n bake but he loves it and I love making what he enjoys so much!! Anyway I wanted to think of a new creative way to make mashed potatoes so I created a new potato casserole!
Sort of like twice baked potatoes you may have had this before!!
8 0R 10 Potatoes
1 cup sour cream
1 cup milk (this you will have to eye ball maybe not quite a cup
1/2 cup butter or margarine
6 or 8 slices of bacon (cook it and crumble it)
2 scallions chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (unless there is another cheese you prefer)

I baked the potatoes in oven and let them cook I peeled them and put insides in a bowl.
Added the sour cream,milk and butter and used mixer to make sure all mixed thru and potatoes were mashed if you like the consistency of pieces of potato don't mix as much.
Next put your crumbled bacon in and your chopped scallions.

Grease a baking pan probably 13 x 9 or a pie plate put your mixture in that pan and then top with the shredded cheese.
Bake @ 350 about 20 minutes or half hour just let that cheese melt on top!!
This was delish a treat instead of just mashed potatoes!!
Enjoy!! Hope your keeping warm and staying safe out of that ice and snow!!
Until next time!
Buona Appetito Mangia!!!
