Chocolate Chip Cookies..

Matt's Favorite. I made him a couple dozen cookies for his fishing trip. I usually just follow the recipe off the back of the chocolate chips bag. And I have had a bunch of neighbors ask for the recipe and I kinda feel silly telling them where I got the recipe. I put some in the freezer for me. I think I will get one and some milk to enjoy. MMMMmm

St. Patrick’s day recipe

 
This recipe is from originally from Family Fun and would be a fun snack to serve on March 17th, the Feast of St. Patrick.

Ingredients:

Green Pepper
Cheddar Cheese
English Muffins

To make one, slice a green pepper crosswise near the pointed end to get a small, three-lobed shamrock shape. (If your pepper has four lobes, you've got a lucky clover instead.) Cut a small slice for a stem.

Toast half an English muffin, then top it with a slice of Cheddar and the pepper shamrock. Place the muffin on a tray, then broil it in a toaster oven until the cheese is melted.

Baked Cauliflower Recipe

Ohh I wish I had some Cauliflower right now...this looks yummy. I already have a head of Cauliflower on the shopping list for tomorrow. Mouth watering. mmm.

Baked Cauliflower Recipe

Oven Roasted Cauliflower Ingredients:

  • head of cauliflower
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
  • shredded cheese (I used cheddar)about 2 cups

Directions:
Wash cauliflower and steam entire head in microwave. I did mine about 8 minutes on high, and it was al dente. If you want it super tender maybe try 9-10 minutes.

Oven Baked Eggless Zucchini Fries

Nothing to say but mmmm...will make sure to make this sometime this week.

Oven-Baked Zucchini Friesmakes approximately 8 servings

Ingredients
3 zucchini (1 lb.)
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 packet Shake & Bake Coating Mix
1 small egg

Method
Heat oven to 450ºF.

Trim the zucchini -cut crosswise in half, then cut each piece into 1/4-inch sticks. Add cheese to coating mix in shaker bag; shake gently to combine.

Whisk egg in medium bowl. Add zucchini; toss to coat. Use tongs to place 1/4 of the zucchini in shaker bag; close bag and shake to evenly coat. Spread onto baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining zucchini.

Bake for 12 to 13 min. or until golden brown, turning the baking tray 180 degrees after 7 min to facilitate even baking. Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients.

Remove the baked fries from the oven, and serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, like this Jalapeno-Corn-Paneer Dip
