WBC Recipe Swap
share your fav!

Hey! Ladies, I thought it would be a really great idea if we could have a post where we all swap some sort of recipe. Whether your new at cooking and want to sharpen up your skills for your fh or your like me and are tired of making the same thing over and over!

Recipe can be anything you'd like from sides, desserts, to full course meals!
The recipe I'd like to share makes an excellent appetizer or addition to taco night.
Taco Stuffed Pepper Cups
You need:
2 green peppers
1/2 lb ground turkey ( or beef or meat substitute if you prefer)
2 tbs chopped onion
1 16oz can kidney beans, rinsed & drained
1 8oz can of tomato sauce
3 tbs of taco seasoning
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup shredded chedder cheese
1/4 cup chopped tomato
Directions:
Cut top off of peppers and removed seeds. Cook peppers in boiling water for about 5 min. Drain and rinse then set aside.
Cook turkey & onion on medium then drain,
Stir in beans, tomato sauce and taco seasoning, bring to boil
reduce heat then simmer for about 5 minutes
Spoon mixture into peppers, place on baking dish and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or until peppers are tender
Top with sour cream, cheese and tomatoes

This recipe can easily be doubled or trippled accordianly. Also if you use the ground turkey, fat free sour cream and reduced fat cheese, you can eat an entire pepper for under 300 calories!

I made this awesome chicken the other night for the first time...here is what I did...Im sure its nothing fancy but here ya go anyway...

What you need:
Chicken (any kind you like...I used breasts)
Vegetable Oil or EVOO
Water
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Lemon Juice
Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning
Medium size skillet pan

How you make it:
Pour a little bit of water to cover the bottom of your pan and turn it on to warm it up so the pan doesnt burn.
Once hot, pour in vegetable oil to fill about a 3rd of the pan. Let the oil get hot...same process as frying something.
Stab your chicken a few times to get some of the ingredients on the inside. Put it in the pan once the oil is boiling.
Pour the spices over the chicken to your liking. Let sit for a few minutes before flipping. You can also marinate it beforehand I just didnt have the time.
Once you have done this on both sides and your oil has started to get low add some lemon juice and let it soak in that. Cover it with a lid and turn down the temp to about med. Flip occassionally. Then when its no longer pink take it out and whoola!

It's a really easy recipe that doesn't require much work. You could also do this in the oven but I have found that it drys out alot easier this way.

Baked Macaroni & Cheese Cupcakes... I promise its delish!

Ingredients:

Vegetable cooking spray
2 cups dried breadcrumbs (separate 1 cup and another cup)
1 tblsp olive oil
8 ounces ground beef,chicken or turkey ( I use beef)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces small pasta (i use elbow)
2 cups grated parmesan
1 1/2 cups grated white or sharp cheddar
2 cups blanched broccoli
1 cup cherry tomatoes (quartered) -optional
------------------
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 (12-cup) muffin or cupcake pans with vegetable cooking spray. Using 1 cup of the bread crumbs, coat the inside of each muffin cup with bread crumbs, shaking off any excess.

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef, ground turkey, chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, Cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside and cover to keep warm.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and add to a large bowl. Stir in the cooked ground beef and the cheeses. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the prepared pasta mixture into the cupcake molds, filling evenly to about 2/3 full. Arrange a few pieces of tomato & broccoli  into each cup. Top with a thin layer of the remaining bread crumbs and drizzle with olive oil.

Bake until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes and carefully unmold with a spoon onto a serving platter

P.S.
To blanch vegetables, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the vegetables and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until very crisp. Using a small strainer, remove the vegetables and immediately plunge into a bowl of iced water. Drain and use

This is a great idea!!

Here is a recipe for a side dish since I don't feel like typing a whole recipe at the moment (but will check back in). My fave veg is brussel sprouts...but they HAVE to be made this way!

Wash, trim and cut B sprouts in half.
Onto the brussel sprout - Pour olive oil (enough to coat), garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper, a pinch of chili powder and red pepper flakes (to taste). toss everything together so the bsprouts are well coated.

Make sure pan is hot!!!!  Put mixture into pan and constantly move until the bsprouts are browned and crunchy in parts and cooked through. About 4-5 minutes or so. Some of the leaves will fall off and you will have whole and parts of brussell sprout heaven!! YUM!

I love to cook and love finding new recipes!  I haven't quite gotten to the point of making my own recipes---but right this is my hubby's favorite.  It's so tasty!  I found this at http://meemoskitchen.blogspot.com

P. F. Chang's® Mongolian Beef


Sauce
2 Teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 Teaspoon minced ginger
1 Tablespoon chopped garlic
1/2 Cup soy sauce
1/2 Cup water
3/4 Cup dark brown sugar
1 Cup vegetable oil
1 Pound flank steak
1/4 Cup cornstarch
4-6 Large green onions
.
Sauce:
Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add ginger and garlic to the pan. Quickly add the soy sauce and water before the garlic scorches. If your oil is too hot this may splatter, so be careful. Dissolve the brown sugar in the sauce, then bring the heat up to medium heat and bring sauce to a boil for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.


Slice the SLIGHTLY frozen flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Tilt the blade of your knife at about a forty five degree angle to the top of the steak so that you get wider cuts.

Coat the steak pieces with a very thin coating of the cornstarch on both sides of each piece of beef. Let the beef sit for about 10 minutes so that the cornstarch sticks.

Heat one cup of oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat until it's hot, but not smoking. Add the beef to the oil and sauté for two minutes, or until the beef just begins to darken on the edges. Stir the meat so that it cooks evenly. After a couple minutes, use a large slotted spoon or a spider to take the meat out and onto paper towels.

Pour the oil out of the wok or skillet. Put the pan back over the heat,add the meat back into the wok or skilllet and simmer for one minute. Add the sauce, cook for one minute while stirring. Add the green onions. Cook for one more minute, then remove the beef and onions with tongs or a slotted spoon to a serving plate. Leave the excess sauce behind in the pan.

Love this idea!!!!!!! Thanks for posting. I have a million I would love to share but here's a new fave I just found that is really healthy.

Quinoa and Smoked Salmon (you can use regular salmon also if you want, just need to cook it separate first)

Prepare quinoa according to package directions

Saute garlic in EVOO - probably about 2 cloves. Then add in salmon, onions, spinach, grape tomatoes. Add some salt ( I use Fleur de Sel but Kisher or sea salt is ok too) and pepper to taste. I then throw in some spices - whatever you like - I use Clubhouse Chili and sweet peppers on almost everything lol. I then add a couple drops of truffle oil to enhance the taste and some white wine vinegar.

it is yummz! And pretty healthy. :)

Try to flatten out the peaches as much as possible then pour the remaining cake mix on top to make a crust.
Let this cook until the crust browns.

I'm more of a baker than a cook so I'll share my quickie awesome recipes for cookies.

From a cake mix (lemon, strawberry work good, so does chocolate and you can add pieces for chunks if you want)

1 package of cake mix
1 egg
1 stick of butter

Mix it all together, drop on a pan and bake in a pre-heated oven @350 until begins to brown. Take out and leave to cool before removing from pan.

Another amazing recipe my sister discovered for a GREAT lemon cookie with awesome texture.

1 package of dry sugar cookie mix
1 egg
1 stick of butter
1/2 a can of pre-made lemon pie filling.
Add flour as mixing to make a dough

drop on a cookie sheet and top with sugar. Bake @ 350 until beginning to brown. Remove and cool.

They are simple and maybe not my favorites but I love things are quick but super yummy! :)
