#8 Creamy Salmon with Green Beans 2 years ago

This was really good, although I think shrimp would’ve been better than salmon. My family loved it, though!

Ingredients
1 large salmon fillet (about 3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 large ripe tomato, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
1 package (9 ounces) frozen cut green beans, partially thawed
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
Hot cooked angel hair pasta

Directions
1. Rinse salmon and pat dry with paper towels. Remove skin and bones; discard. Cut salmon into 3/4-inch pieces.

2. Heat wok over medium-high heat 1 minute or until hot. Add butter. Swirl to coat bottom; heat 30 seconds. Add salmon; stir-fry gently 3 to 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with fork. Remove to large bowl; cover and keep warm.

3. Add tomato and onion to wok; stir-fry about 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in flour until well mixed. Increase heat to high. Stir in broth and beans; cook until sauce boils and thickens. Add salmon, half-and-half, salt and pepper; cook until heated through. Add half of cheese; toss until well mixed. Spoon salmon mixture over angel hair pasta. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Garnish as desired.



#7 Ham And Hash Brown Casserole 2 years ago

A recipe from a friend at grouprecipes.com. This was really good, but I had to make it twice to get it right. The first time, I burned it. The second time I tried a smaller pan and watched it as it cooked to make sure I wouldn’t burn it. It was delicious. I can’t wait to make it again.

Ingredients
2 cup diced ham
1-8 oz package of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 onion diced
1 can mushroom soup
salt
pepper
1-30 oz. package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes or make your own.
1 cup sour cream

Directions
Preheat oven to 350*
Mix all ingredients together
Put into greased 13×9 baking pan
Bake for 2 hour.



# 6 Bourbon Chicken 2 years ago

Found this on Allrecipes.com I changed it just a little. (says to bake, but I fried up in a wok) This was such a great recipe, and I was so tickled to find it. When my husband and I were first married, we lived in a Chicago suburb. Something we loved to do was to drive to Gurnee and go to the Asian place in Gurnee Mills. We would order a big dish of Bourbon Chicken and share it. This is one of our favorite memories. Well, it’s been over 10 years since we’ve lived in Chicago, and we haven’t had Bourbon Chicken since. So when I came across this recipe, I had to try it. To my delight, it was a wonderful recipe, and my husband loved it. It sure brought back some lovely memories for the both of us! I hope you all enjoy it as well.

Again, a recipe I just made up, but I’m going to list it since it’s one I’ve never made before.

Wow, I’ve never seen a cake go that fast in my house!!! Anyway, here’s the recipe.

#3 Green Bean Chowder 2 years ago

Tried this one last night. The girls & I liked it. (actually, the girls raved about it!) My husband, not so much, but then he doesn’t really like things like that! If you like clam chowder or those type of soups, this one is worth trying!! (oh, btw, you can find most of the recipes I’m trying and most of my own recipes at grouprecipes.com. It’s a great site. Check it out!)

Ingredients
2 cups ham; diced into bite size pieces
4 potatoes; diced into bite size pieces
4 cups total frozen veggies; (green beans, peas, carrots, snow peas, etc.)
1 large onion; cut how you like
garlic; how ever much you like
1 can cream of mushroom soup
4 TBSP milk
1 cup sour cream
1 cup water
basil, oregano, salt, pepper, etc.
1 28oz. can diced tomatoes with juice

Directions
Mix mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, water, and spices in LARGE bowl. (I only have a 5-qt crockpot so I had to mix it in my huge roasting pan! If you have a larger size, you should be able to mix it in the pot.) Then mix in ham, potatoes, veggies, onion, and garlic. Put into crockpot. Pour can of tomatoes with juice on top of other ingredients. Cook on low heat for about 6 – 7 hours.



#2 Butterfinger Pie 2 years ago

This isn’t actually a recipe I found, but more one I made up, trying to duplicate the butterfinger pie they have at Burger King. Well, I must’ve done a pretty good job, because everyone loved it!

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients
1 pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 pint heavy whipping cream
4 tbsp. sugar
2 Butterfingers bars
1/4 C. peanut butter.
Magic Shell topping
2 graham cracker pie crusts

Directions
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until softened.
Add whipping cream and beat until thick and fluffy.
Add sugar and mix.
In a food processor, chop Butterfingers bars into tiny pieces.
Add 3/4 of Butterfingers pieces to cream mixture and mix.
Pour cream mixture into pie shells.
Drizzle magic shell topping over pies, then sprinkle reserved butterfingers pieces over pies.
Refrigerate until magic shell is set or until ready to serve.

P.S. I also tried DoctorTeeth’s recipe for Tuscan Chicken and it was wonderful. You should all try it!



#1 Granola Bars 2 years ago

Well I tried a new recipe for granola bars. It tasted great, but they weren’t bars. It was crumbly and a little dry. I was dissapointed. We can still eat it, in fact, it would be great on icecream, but I really just wanted some granola bars!
