Creative Recipes

Hello everyone and Happy August!  I'm just popping in with an awesome new (to me) recipe and some creative ideas for tasty variations to fit everyone's tastes.  I was recently exposed to the culinary delight of Greek Meatloaf.  This tasty dish combines ground turkey, spinach, mushrooms and feta cheese into a fabulous (and not too unhealthy) meatloaf.  Ready for the super-easy-to-prepare recipe?  Here is my version:Ingredients:½ medium onion, chopped1 tbsp olive oil1 cup Portobello mushrooms, chopped¼ tsp sea salt¼ tsp garlic salt¼ tsp freshly ground pepper1 package fresh baby spinach1 lb ground turkey½ cup bread crumbs1 large egg, lightly beaten1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce½ cup crumbled feta cheeseBrown Sugar BBQ sauce or Ketchup Preparation:Preheat oven to 350F degrees.  Heat olive oil in a medium to large size skillet … [Read more...]

Summer Treats

Summer is slowly starting to come to an end here in the States.  I must admit that I am not sad to see the beginning of the end of hot, humid, sticky days - but I will miss some of my favorite summer foods.  At the top of that list is my favorite summer cheesecake recipe.  It is a lighter, fluffier version of the traditionally heavier New York style cheesecake and, when paired with my favorite summer fruit (strawberries) - it is a truly delicious treat. If you care to try it - here is my recipe:  I love the mixture of lemon and strawberry flavors, but you can use the jello flavor and fresh fruit combo of choice. :) Until next time ~Judie Save … [Read more...]

Hairy Scary Spiders Recipe

Hairy Scary Spiders Recipe

When my husband and I first were married, he begged me to make some Hairy Scary Spiders for Halloween.  The recipe sounded weird to me so I politely declined.  Year after year my husband requested them and I turned the request down.  After ten years of requesting I finally gave in declaring that I was not going to touch the gross things!   Upon finishing my husband and kids quickly gobbled the spiders up.  With just a few left, my kids begged me to give the spiders a try.  I tentatively ate one and was hooked!  These spiders were delicious!   The spiders have become a Halloween treat tradition in our family.  I wanted to share this quick and simple recipe with you!  Don't be a scaredy cat like me, give them a try!Ingredients:12 oz bag of chocolate chips6 oz bag of butterscotch or peanut butter flavored chipsBag of chow mein noodles or 2 large cansRed Hots, or Mini M … [Read more...]

Creating a Recipe Binder: Part 1

Creating a Recipe Binder: Part 1

I’ve been on a quest to find the best recipes since I first learned to cook. When I was younger I was sure all those recipes were my mom’s or grandmas. I remember heading off to college with a small recipe binder holding those cherished recipes. In fact I still have that little recipe binder…At collage I was exposed to others cooking and found new recipes I loved. In they went to my little binder. Then food blogs and pinterest become popular and I found so many more yummy recipes! My little binder exploded and became this mess of recipes.The organization is lacking. It takes a long time to find the recipe I want. If I find the correct recipe, I have to battle the food stains that cover them. Anyone else have the same problem? I decided to end this problem and revamp my recipe organization. I created a plan for this HUGE project and decide to share this with you in a two part blog … [Read more...]
