The Ultimate Cheeseball

The flavor combination is one that will make your scratch your head and snub your nose at it.  Try it once and you'll find that you won't be able to keep yourself out of it!

The Ultimate Cheeseball  (Makes 2)                                        Printable Recipe

2 tablespoons diced onion
1 teaspoon garlic salt  (use garlic powder and a little bit of salt)
2 tablespoons diced green pepper
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained
2 - 8 ounce cream cheese, softened 
Approximately 2 cups chopped pecans


Pecans should be chopped small enough so there aren't chunky pieces left but not so small it is pulverized. Place onto a medium piece of wax paper.
 These 5 ingredients seem like an unlikely combo.
Mix together with a spoon or small mixer.
 Scoop half of the cream cheese mixture onto pecans.
 Using the wax paper to keep your hands clean, press the pecans into the cream cheese.
 Flip cheeseball.
Press more pecans into cream cheeseball until completely covered.  Without the wax paper use your hands to shape into a ball or disk shape.  Cover with plastic wrap and place into fridge.  Repeat with last half of cheese mixture.  Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend.

Foolproof Hard-Boiled Eggs

Funny thing is that I called them hard-boiled but I don't actually boil the eggs to cook them.  If you want pretty little yellow yolks with no green edges on the yolks this is the way to do it.  

Foolproof Hard-Boiled Eggs

1 Dozen eggs (the fresher the eggs, the harder they are to peel)

Place eggs in a deep saucepan and cover with cold water by 1-1/2 inches.
 Bring to a boil that is really bubbling. Shut off heat. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
 Drain.
 Add ice and water to cool eggs. 
 Perfect!

Baked Curry Cauliflower Bites

Baked Curry Cauliflower Bites

1 head cauliflower, washed and cut into cut bite size pieces
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon curry powder
3-4 dashes cayenne powder
good pinch of salt
10 drops lemon juice

Mix together all but the cauliflower.
Add cauliflower and toss until coated.


Lay on cookie sheet (or I used a baking stone) so the bites are not touching.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes flipping half way through the cooking until they are soft and caramelized.
 Enjoy!

Cornbread Casserole

Everyone loves a good corn side dish.  Our usual go to is the scalloped corn but this family recipe is a nice change.  For something even different and better add some shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Cornbread Casserole

1 egg
1 cup sour cream (light is OK)
1/2 stick butter, melted (original recipe had 1 stick!)
1 can whole corn, drained
1 can creamed corn
1 box cornbread mix

Mix all the ingredients together and pour into a 9x13" greased baking dish.
Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. If you are topping with cheese you could put that on the last 10 minutes. 
I think next time I will probably use a bit smaller dish to make mine thicker.

Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

I'm always looking for a change up in our pizza routine.   One of our favorite toppings lately has been sweet caramelized onions.  They add so much flavor! I made a "wit whiz" with a little variation on "Cheez Whiz" but  you could certainly use it instead.   

Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

1 small onion
1-1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
1-1/2 Tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
4 ounces Velveeta
4-6 ounces of Medium Roast beef from the deli, sliced thin and chunked
shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
grilled pizza dough

Drizzle some olive oil in a non stick pan and add your onions.  Sprinkle a little salt on.  Cook slowly until nice and brown.  This is just the beginning color they start to get.  As you cook your onions you can a little broth or water to keep it from burning but continue the cooking and browning process.
While you onions are cooking make the cheese sauce.  Add olive oil to a saucepan and stir in the flour.  Cook for a little bit to remove raw flour taste.  Slowly pour in milk a little at a time.  Whisking to keep the lumps away. When it is thickened add Velveeta in hunks and stir until melted.  It may seem a little thin but it will thicken some as it cools. You could skip the homemade cheese sauce and use warmed up Cheez Whiz if you want it more authentic.
 Have your oven and pizza stone preheated to 450 degrees. Place pre-grilled pizza dough on the paddle or flat cookie sheet.
 Top with cheese sauce and chopped roast beef.
Sprinkle on the cheese, then the onions. 
Bake for 9-10 minutes until golden brown.
