Holly's Ambrosia (A few of my additions)

Great anytime dessert refreshing and light!


Ingredients
2 package 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
1 cup confectionery sugar
1 16 oz Crushed Pineapple (drained)
1 large Fruit Cocktail (drained)
1 16 oz Mandarin Oranges (drained)
1 large cool Whip
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup coconut


I actually made sure cream cheese was softened and mixed with cool whip while fruit was draining. Added the conf sugar, coconut then the drained fruit I topped it with the chopped nuts and cherries ready to go!

This time though I added a 3rd cream cheese and a another cool whip a little more confect sugar too it came out big enough for those throw away aluminum pans the one you see it pictured in for a picnic made it bigger and a little more fruit!

Everyone makes this different some people use sour cream we never did this is really good trust me on it!

Enjoy

Ricotta Cookies

Ricotta Cookies



2 sticks of margarine or butter (I use butter)
1 3/4 cups of sugar
1 tspn salt
1 tspn baking powder
1 tspn baking soda
3 eggs
1 lb ricotta
2 tablespoons anise flavoring (we don't like anise I use vanilla)
4 cups flour


Mix all ingredients for dough together until well blended. The dough will be sticky do not add more flour sometimes I add a little to my fingers so it doesn't stick so much!
Now you can do this a few ways you can do like balls or Easter eggs like I did or you can shape dough into 4 loaves, approximately 1 foot long 2-3 inches wide. Bake @ 350 for 15 minutes, Cool frost cut into strips or frost the little cookies and decorate.


Frosting
1 cup confectionery

sugar
2 tablespoons half half

Easter Bread or Sweet Bread

Sweet Bread 

6 to 7 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp salt

2 Pkg of Active Dry Yeast

1 Cup Milk

1 Cup Water

1/2 cup Butter or margarine (I use butter)

1 egg

Put 4 cup of flour in bowl sprinkle the dry yeast over the flour. ( I know this sounds weird but it works)

Melt butter add cup of milk & water add to flour

Beat egg with 1/2 cup of sugar.

Add to flour

As you are working it add flour a little at a time. Dough should be sticky, but not wet. Smear butter over the dough. Let it rise for 3 hours I covered with saran wrap and 2 kitchen towels and put in a warm dark room for about 4 hours and boy did it rise! Then you need it and put it in a greased tube pan, let it rise for another hour or two. Bake @ 350 for 45 minutes. You can drizzle the confectionery sugar frosting over it once it cools and put those little sprinkles if you would like.

The frosting is just confectionery sugar and half and half.

Enjoy 

Happy Baking!!

Pizzagaina (Meat Pie) Easter Specialty

Filling for the Pizzagaina 



So we all know now that I use the Frazelli dough for the crust of the meat pie I posted that recipe earlier on my blog.


I get the next few items @ the deli and they cut it for me in thick piece so I can cut it in chunks myself

1 1/2 lbs Ham 
1 1/2 lbs Muenster Cheese
1 lbs Proscuittini  (peppered ham) 
1 lb Prosciutto 

This amount of meats and cheeses will make 2 13 x 9 pies so if your going to make one or a small round use less meat so an example use 1 lb ham and 1/2 of the others and 1 lb muenster and 1 basket cheese
If your using Pepperoni you can do the same get in deli I just happen to have some bags of the sliced one so if I want to use it I will cut it in with these other meats and cheese.
There are lots of Italian Meats you can use its all up to the individual you do have to be careful though some of the meats can make the pie very salty  

2 basket cheese (secret here always make sure you drain your basket cheese in the scolapasta (colander)
it is very wet and you don't want that much liquid in with the rest of the ingredients
Grated Cheese (I can't tell you how much probably 1/2 cup or more 
Black Pepper (if your using the proscuittini don't do alot of pepper might be overpowering 
12 eggs or more 
1 lbRicotta  

Mix up the fresh basket cheese (drained), and then add the ricotta cheese.  Mix the two together with a mixer, and then add in the percorino romano cheese. Next, gradually mix in the eggs.  Once mixed thoroughly, add the prosciutto, ham, and pepperoni (or other meats).  Use a wooden spoon to mix the meats in.  Once mixed, pour the filling into the pie shell.  Smooth out the filling on top with the spoon.

Now this depends on how big you make the pie this is for a good size pie a deep square dish or large round pan
My Mom gave me 2 beautiful pans that they used to use but anything will work well you can even buy those throw away large aluminum ones but use 2 it will be very heavy once you add it all in there and too pick it up out of the oven! 

When you add the crust to the top use a fork to work your way around it and put seams in it to seal it then put in two or three little air holes on top for it to breathe while cooking.

About 50 minutes @ 375 but if its bigger could take a few extra minutes you will be able to tell.
Once its cooked let it cool and cover it well and put in refrigerator you will serve it cold on Holy Saturday no meat on Good Friday for us.
It is a tradition that we go to my parents house @ noon on Holy Saturday to cut the meat pie and eat together.



I don't know if this recipe makes any sense LOL I make it by sight and don't have a written recipe but this pretty much says it all if you have any questions let me know!

Thank you

Frazelli's Recipe (Meat Pie Dough Recipe)

Frazelli


3 1/2 cups
3/4 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup oil
1 cup water
4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tablespoon pepper or more according to how much spice you want it to have


Mix the dough all the together if you are making the Frazelli's just roll them according to what size you want them to be and roll on ungreased cookie sheets @ 350 until golden brown about 10- 15 minutes


We use this for our Apizzagain dough it comes out wonderful just make the dough as you do above roll it out on a floured surface and put it in the pan your making the pie in and make it hang over cutting it if need be and making another one for the top or just lattice strips its all up to you.
Sometimes I don't even use a crust for the top it depends on your preference!
I make it double if I am making it for the top too or 1 1/2 for the lattice!

If you have any questions let me know



Thanks

Enjoy and Buona Pasqua

Boneless Center Cut Pork Roast Viva Alla Crock Pot

1 Chicken bouillon cube

Spices Rub: 2 tsp. garlic powder, 2 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. salt, pinch black pepper, 1 tsp basil, 2 tsp. sage, 2 tsp. thyme if you like rosemary you can add that too we don't particularly care for it! 

1 onion, halved and sliced

4 cloves garlic

3-4 apples, (whatever kind you like) peeled and sliced

1/2 cup water

olive oil

I put olive oil in bottom of crock pot, I rubbed the seasoning on the pork roast and I also slivered the pork roast and added the garlic slivers right in each slit about 4 of them put the pork roast in crock pot

Then cover with sliced onions and apples.

put the bullion cube in the 1/2 cup water melt it and pour over pork roast I also put another drop of olive oil 

its on low now I might higher it depending on how it goes.

It is either LOW 8-10 hrs or HIGH 4-5 hrs I was a little late in putting it on this morning!

Lighter version of French Onion Soup its amazing!!

1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter

4 medium onions, sliced

1/8 teaspoon sugar

2 tablespoons flour

5 cups low-sodium or no sodium, reduced fat beef broth

1/2 cup dry white wine (you could also substitute chicken broth)

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled

1 bay leaf

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon Sherry 

Slice (about 1/4 inch thick each) toasted French baguette or bread

1/4 cup shredded low fat mozzarella cheese (cause I don't like swiss cheese) LOL

In a large heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; add the onions and cook, uncovered, until golden – about 8-10 minutes. Blend in the sugar and flour and cook for 3-5 more minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the beef broth, wine, thyme,bay leaf, and pepper; increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly for about 6 minutes. Adjust the heat to a simmer, partly cover the saucepan, and simmer for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, spoon out the bay leaf and add the brandy (if using).

Preheat the oven’s broiler you can also use microwave unless you like the toasted cheese taste. Ladle the soup into ovenproof bowls. Place a piece of bread on the top of the liquid in each bowl and sprinkle the top of each with a tablespoon of cheese.

Place the bowls in the oven 4-6 inches from the heat, and broil until the cheese is golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).

Don't know about you but in the chill its nice to have some home made soup around!!

• 4 lg boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 med onion, diced
• 1/2 C diced celery

• 1/2 C sliced mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped (or 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
• 4 tbsp flour
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon (or 2 bouillon cubes)

• 1 can cream of mushroom soup (Cond)
• 1 pint (16 oz) half and half cream
• 3 cups whole milk
• 1/4 C (1/2 stick) salted butter
• 1/4 C olive oil
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes
• 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
• salt & pepper
• pinch paprika
• pinch nutmeg

Directions

Cut up chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces (wash cutting board, utensils and hands, well, after handling chicken) In a lg, deep skillet over med-high heat melt 1/4 C (1/2 stick) butter, then add 1/4 C olive oil. Add chicken and cook until done (about 10-15 min). In a large crock pot (set to high temp) - combine all liquid ingredients w/seasonings and mix together. Then add cooked chicken to crock pot (along with all liquids from skillet). Add balance of ingredients & stir together well. Let crock pot cook for 4-6 hours, stirring frequently so mixture will not burn on bottom of pot. Mixture should be thick when done.

NOTES

Your Chicken a la Queen should be thick when done...

but will thicken further as it cools down. To thicken it more you can add more

flour or I use Wondra its thinner and doesn't clump to mixture towards end of 

cooking cycle. This is easy to make and you can't do other things while its 

crocking away in the 

crock pot LOL!!

Felicia's Italian Wedding Soup

Felicia’a Soup Recipe (Wedding soup my way)

I underlined what you need as far as ingredients

I am going to try to do this not easy when you just make it without a recipe LOL!

2 containers quarts of Pacific Organic Natural Chicken Broth

4 chicken breasts with bone

I also added water in the soup the break the chicken broth down like two full containers same size of the broth.

I took the chicken broth above and the chicken breasts first and I boiled them cooked and cooled them put aside when they cooled off I shredded the chicken so it was in small pieces for the soup.

2 heads of escarole I cleaned them chopped leaves and boiled then left them draining.

By this time you will have just the broth so now I took

8 carrots you can use how many you want I sliced them put it in simmering broth

2 small onions chopped put it in simmering broth

Then I took chop meat I buy the meatloaf mix has beef, veal and pork or you can just buy ground beef your choice

Made tiny meatballs I will give you recipe but I am sure you know how to make meatballs

Chop meat, bread crumb, grated cheese, eggs (2) if it’s a lb of meat parsley, garlic powder, salt pepper mix well and make tiny meatballs by now the broth carrots onions should be boiling throw the tiny meatballs in raw while soup boiling they cook in there

Now you can take the chicken breasts and shred them in pieces no bone once that is done throw in the soup then take your escarole (cooked drained) and put in the soup

Let it cook you can add salt and pepper to it too if you want I also added a little garlic powder to it.

I cooked Orzo separate if you put the pasta in it will blow up so I left it separate you can use any pasta tubettini, pastina whatever you like or none!

Enjoy the soup the weather is getting chilly now hope to get some more recipes up quicker this time I know I always say that lol!!

Stuffed Peppers alla Raffaele

Depending on how many peppers you make I will give you the recipe for the dish above in the photo.
I made 7 of them


Yellow and Orange peppers are wonderful so sweet and no after taste we used those and one green and one red
I washed them dried, cut out the stem and all the seeds washed again drained them well.

1 Package of Veal, Pork, Beef ground I purchased @ BJ's about 3lbs you can buy almost anywhere now they are calling it "Meatloaf Mix"
1 Onion
1/2 head of garlic slivered
Marinara Sauce (you can make it or use something like Classico, Hunt's Traditional I used Marinara Sauce I had made
1 box prepared Rice a Roni (you can use white,brown, rice any mixture you like
Pepperidge Farm crushed bread crumbs (blue bag)
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Basil, Oregano, garlic powder, onion powder.

Take the Meatloaf Mix, chopped onions and garlic saute and then drain once cooked free of all the fat
Separately you make your rice whatever you prefer as I mentioned above
Mix these two items together then put in about 1/2 of the sauce and some water mix well, then add bread crumbs about 2 cups of it less if you want it meatier or more if you like the consistency with the crumb
Once all mixed together just add your spices to your liking should be a little wet

Take a spoon of sauce and put on bottom of 13 x 9 pan I used a glass pan stuff your peppers and cover with a little sauce on each one cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 1 1/2 hrs @ 350 degrees.
You need to make sure the peppers are nice and soft
If you want you can stuff them by cutting the peppers in half today I decided to try a new way with the stuffing on the top they were pretty darn good as Ralph says the best he truly enjoyed them
Hope you all do too.
If you have any questions let me know don't forget to follow my blog!
Have a great day!
Thanks!

Chicken Sausage with Broccoli Rabe and Cannellini Beans yummy!!

Ok so I am on this weight watcher diet and trying to cook a little more sensible than before for myself!!

1 pkg Longhini chicken sausage (or whatever brand you like)
1 bunch or more Broccoli Rabe
1 head of peeled and chopped garlic cloves
1 can of Cannellini Beans
1 tablespoon olive oil

I took the chicken sausage out of the casing and sliced into smaller chunks set aside
Broccoli rabe chopped of course took off most of the stems and washed it and drained good set aside
peeled some garlic (lots)chop but not too small I like to be able to taste the garlic!
drained one can of Cannellini Beans

In my frying or sautee pan I put in a tablespoon of olive oil along with the garlic that is peeled and chopped cook on medium heat letting it get soft the garlic but not too brown
Took the sausage and sauteed that with garlic then I put in the can of drained beans
cooked for a while until the sausage got sort of brown and the beans were cooked also
I took the sausage and bean mixture cooked and used a slotted utensil to put it in a bowl off to the side
Then used the same sautee/frying pan and it had enough of the left over olive oil put the broccoli rabe in it too cook I like my Rabe nice and cooked almost crispy if you want more broccoli rabe in the meal you can add another head of it in it, in the Rabe I added a little white wine, some grated cheese, lemon juice and garlic powder salt and pepper.
Once the Rabe was cooked I mixed it all together you can also add some red crushed pepper if you like a little kick in it.

Hope you all like it I did this quickly for you everyone asking for the recipe if you have any questions just send me an email ok.

thanks
have a great day/night!!
