This is a really easy dip. I often make it with left over grilled salmon.

11 oz. of salmon
1 cup cream cheese
1 TBS minced onion
1 TBS lemon juice
1/2 tsp Horseradish
1/2 tsp yellow mustard
2 tsp fresh parsley
dash of salt

Put all the ingredients together in a bowl. Cut the ingredients together with a fork. Refrigerate 30 minutes or more. I serve it on Townhouse crackers.

Mexican Pork Chops

My son found this recipe on All Recipes.com as part of a homework assignment for Spanish class. He didn’t want to make the regular tacos, enchiladas, or burritos. I am glad he found this recipe, it has become a family favorite. I serve the pork chops with spanish rice, salad and corn bread muffins. Enjoy.

4 tsp of cumin
4 tsp of chili powder
4 boneless pork loin chips (4 oz. each and 1/2 inch thick)
1 TBS vegetable oil
1-1/4 cups salsa

In a small bowl, combine the salsa, cocoa and cinnamon; pour over pork. bring sauce to a boil. Reduce hear; simmer,uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until meat is tender, turning chips once and stirring sauce occasionally. Sprinkle with cilantro and green onion just before serving

A different take on OJ

pbandjazz — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 20:00:27 +0000

My family has sensitivity to citric acid. They love orange juice. We mix Fresca and orange juice together to make a great beverage. It is awesome for brunch. The mix is 50/50 or 60/40 we are not accurate, we just pour and drink. It is less calories too! Related posts:Summertime means Sangria!!Pitcher O’MargaritasOne word: Sangria Related posts:

The Best Cookie Ever!

1 roll of refrigerated cookie dough- spread on cookie sheet 1/4 in. thick and baked for 10-15 minutes till golden. Cool.

Beat together 1- 8 oz. package of cream cheese & 1/4 cup of sugar. Spread on cooled cookie.

Mix a small box of instant chocolate pudding with 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Mix with a whisk until not lumpy and thick. Spread on top of cream cheese mixture.

Top pudding with mini chocolate chips. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving. Works great to cut with a pizza cutter.

Baked Cauliflower

pbandjazz — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:00:40 +0000

It is farmers market season in Minnesota. My daughter and I went to the farmers market yesterday. I saw this beautiful head of cauliflower and thought of a recipe I had wanted to try. I bought the cauliflower and this is what I made:

1- head of cauliflower, take off the green leaves and the majority of the core, but keep the head in tact.
1/2 cup of mayo
1/2 cup of mustard
1/2 – 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steam the whole head of cauliflower for 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a baking dish. Mix the mayo, mustard and cheese together. Slather over the cauliflower.

Bake for 30 minutes or till tender at 375 degrees.

Stuffed Burgers

pbandjazz — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:38:30 +0000

This is a family favorite. I usually grill these burgers on the Weber grill. If you use propane, grill on lower heat. Warning: All ingredients in this dish are estimates! If you like bacon you will love these!

Serves 5-7

3 pounds of hamburger

6-8 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped

mayo (not miracle whip)

Shredded cheddar cheese

Favorite grill seasoning- I use Canadian Steak seasoning by Tones

Stuffing:

1-2 cups of cheese

1/4-1/2 cup of mayo

bacon

Pour the cheese in a bowl, add bacon. Scoop mayo in and stir. Add mayo so cheese and bacon stick together. The mayo is the glue.

Hamburger:

You are going to make two thin patties for each burger. I usually make all the bottoms. Place a healthy dolop of the cheese mixture in the center. Top with another thin patty and pinch all the sides together forming the burger sealed tight to not loose your cheesy center.

Grill until meat is no longer pink and cheese is melted. I sprinkle a little seasoning on the burgers right before I turn them for the first time. A little cheese usually oozes from the side so you know it is done.

Dill Potato Salad

pbandjazz — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:36:27 +0000

This potato salad is on the lighter side because you use some yogurt in it. It is also quick because you use skin on red potatoes.

4 pounds small red potatoes ( 8 cups), cooked and cubed
2 Tbs oil
2 Tbs apple cider vineger
1 cup light mayo
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 Tbs dijon mustard
1 cup red onion ( I am sure I use less)
2 tsp dill weed
salt and pepper to taste

In a large bowl, sprinkle oil over potatoes. Toss to coat. Combine mayo, yogurt, and mustard- pour over potatoes. Add remaining ingredients and toss. Refrigerate atleast 30 minutes before serving. Serves 10-12

Cream cheese salsa dip

pbandjazz — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:30:38 +0000

This is a big hit a parties and is so easy it is embarrassing! I always make a double batch my kids have friends over.

1- 8 oz. package of cream cheese softened

1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup of your favorite salsa

Beat the ingredients together until well blended and not too chunky. Refigerate 30 mintues if you have time but it is good right away. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
