Fabulous Chicken Marsala

ingredients

For the pan-fried chicken:
1-1/2 lb. chicken breasts
salt & pepper
1/2 c. flour
vegetable oil
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, coat with flour, and pan-fry in a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. (If chicken breasts are thick, slice in half or pound out before frying.) Allow cooked chicken to drain on paper towels. Reserve drippings for sauce.
For the marsala sauce:
3-4 strips of bacon, chopped
8 oz. white button mushrooms, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 T. tomato paste
1-1/4 c. Marsala wine
1/2 c. chicken stock
4 t. lemon juice***
4 T. butter
salt & pepper




instructions

To drippings leftover from chicken breasts, add your chopped bacon. Fry until crispy and remove--drain on paper towels. Toss in sliced mushrooms. Saute until soft and golden over medium heat. Drain off any excess oil, especially if there is a lot (I prefer blotting with paper towels). Add in garlic, continue sauteing until golden. Add tomato paste to sauteed mushrooms, and stir to dissolve paste and coat all of the mushrooms. Allow the tomato paste to brown a little bit (~1-2 minutes), then deglaze the pan with marsala wine. Over medium-high heat, allow the sauce to come to a simmer and begin reducing. Add in chicken broth. Continue simmering and reducing. After a couple of minutes, once sauce has reduced and is no longer a thin liquid, cut heat to low and stir in lemon juice and butter. Add crisped bacon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Return chicken breasts to pan. Turn to coat with sauce. Best served with egg noodles.
***The original recipe called for lemon juice. Although I did add it, it seemed pointless. I think the tomato paste provided enough acidity, and the lemon flavor was also masked by the wine, for the most part. If you don't have lemon juice on hand, then I would consider skipping it altogether.

Rich, Asian-Inspired Grilled Salmon

ingredients

2-3 lbs. salmon
salt & pepper
Marinade:
2 T Dijon mustard
3 T soy sauce
6 T olive oil
1 t. minced garlic




instructions

Salt and pepper your salmon fillet. Mix up marinade with a whisk. Pour half of the marinade over your salmon; reserve the other half for topping cooked salmon. Allow salmon to sit in marinade while grill is preheating.
Grill salmon over medium-high heat. Grease the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking as much as possible. First cook skin-side down for 5 minutes. Flip and cook another 5 minutes. Do NOT overcook the salmon. If it is still a little undercooked in the center, don't worry--it will continue to cook after being taken off the grill. Remove salmon from heat. Pour reserved marinade over it, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.

5Star Enchiladas

ingredients

1 lb. lean gr. beef
1 can kidney beans, drained & rinsed
1-10.5 oz. can corn, drained
1-4 oz. can diced green chilies
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. cumin
1/4 t. chili powder
1/2 c. picante sauce or salsa
2-10 oz. cans mild enchilada sauce {I used 1 mild, 1 medium}
1 can Campbell's Cheddar Cheese soup
10 (6 1/2 in.) fajita tortillas
2+ handfuls grated Mexican cheeses




instructions

Preheat oven to 375.
Brown gr. beef. Drain off & blot out extra grease. Mix in kidney beans, corn, diced green chilies, and spices. In a separate bowl, combine salsa, enchilada sauce, and cheddar cheese soup. Warm up slightly to help un-condense the soup. Add about 1 cup of sauce mixture to gr. beef filling and stir.
Put about 1/2 c. of prepared sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Start generously filling tortillas and rolling them up, seam down. I left the cheese out of my enchiladas because of the cheesy sauce, but you can also sprinkle some grated cheese inside of each enchilada if you'd like. Once all enchiladas are rolled up, cover with remaining sauce mixture. Top with two generous handfuls of cheese, or more. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another couple minutes, until cheese is melted.

Pumpkin Pie Crumb Bars

ingredients

Crust
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups quick oats (old fashioned works too)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pumpkin Pie Filling
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed-light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1 pinch ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups canned pureed pumpkin
1/3 cup evaporated milk or half and half
Whipped cream and cinnamon, for serving (optional)




instructions

Crust
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together flour, oats, salt and baking soda for 30 seconds. Add your 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Then add the melted butter and vanilla until everything is evenly moistened.
Press half of the mixture into a greased 8 by 8-inch pan and bake for 15 minutes.
Pumpkin Pie Filling
While your crust is cooking, mix together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt. Then add in egg, egg yolk and vanilla and stir until blended. Next, mix in pumpkin and milk.
After your crust has cooked for 15 minutes, pour your pumpkin mixture over crust and return to the oven and bake another 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove from oven and top with the remaining crumb mixture. You will also want to move your oven rack closer to the top-center (not directly beneath but a few levels below) and return to oven to bake about 20 - 25 minutes longer until golden brown and the center only wiggles a little.
Remove from oven and you can serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. You can also refrigerate and serve a little colder. Both are super delicious!

Red Velvet Poke Cake Recipe

Red Velvet Poke Cake Bite

ingredients

One Red Velvet cake recipe or 1 box Red Velvet cake mix (I love Duncan Hines Signature Red Velvet cake mix)
2 (3.4 ounce) instant Cheesecake-flavored pudding mix (if you can't find Cheesecake flavored, Vanilla also works well)
4 cups milk
1 (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
10 Oreo cookies, crushed




instructions

Prepare a 9 x 13-inch cake pan with cooking spray and a light coating of flour.
Make cake according to recipe or package instructions and pour into prepared cake pan. Bake as required.
Remove from oven and cool for a couple of minutes. With a wooden spoon handle or similar-sized object, poke holes throughout cake down to the bottom of the cake. The holes need to be large enough to allow the pudding to seep down into the cake.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk until smooth and creamy. Pour pudding over cake and spread evenly across the top gently pushing pudding into holes. Place in fridge until pudding sets (about 2 hours).
Remove from fridge and layer with whipped topping and crushed Oreos. Keep cake refrigerated.
