Sour Cream Sugar Cookies Recipe

Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
Sugar cookies are one of the most classic and delicious sweets to prepare for Christmas and the holiday season. What is great about sugar cookies is that they are easy to prepare. These sugar cookies are a little bit different and use sour cream. I would say that the texture is more like that of a cake than a cookie. Once the dough is prepared and the cookies are baked, they are coated with frosting and sprinkles if desired. The frosting is just a simple combination of butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. You can add food coloring if you want, I used blue. These are easy to prepare in large batches if needed. Enjoy.

Oven Roast Chicken Breast Recipe

  • by


A lot of the time I will settle for boneless chicken breasts but the truth is, roasting bone-in chicken breast with the skin on in the oven is far more flavorful and delicious. The chicken in his recipe is coated with seasoning and then fried in a pan for a few minutes and finished cooking in the oven. You can cook these fully in the oven if you want but the cook-time will be a little longer, so make sure that you check the chicken with a meat thermometer to make sure that it is fully cooked. Frying the chicken breast in the pan helps to get the skin crispy. I like to throw in a few cut up red potatoes cover in olive oil with a little salt and pepper. It is delicious. Enjoy.

Boston Cream Pie Recipe

  • by

Boston Cream Pie
The Boston Cream Pie is an American classic. This dish was first created by a chef in Boston. The truth is, this isn’t a pie at all, it is a cake. This cake consists of cake layers that are filled with vanilla custard and topped with a chocolate glaze. If you have concerns that this recipe is hard to prepare, the use of instant vanilla pudding makes this recipe easy to make. This recipe does not use multiple cake layers but one cake prepared in a 9-inch pan that is cooled and sliced in half. You may be concerned that the cake will not look nice after slicing it in half but just be careful when you are slicing it and it should turn out fine. You will want to make sure you follow the mixing and baking directions closely so that the cake has the right texture. Enjoy.

Mozzarella Stuffed Turkey Meatballs Recipe

  • by

Mozzarella Stuffed Turkey Meatballs
These turkey meatballs are Italian style and are stuffed with cubes of mozzarella cheese. The meatballs use classic Italian ingredients such as garlic, Italian seasoning, Romano cheese, and fresh parsley. The meatballs are baked in the oven and then served with a homemade sauce. The sauce is just a simple combination of crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. The red pepper flakes add a little kick to the sauce without making it too spicy. The original recipe called for browning the meatballs in oil on the stovetop before baking them but I cooked them fully in the oven. Using turkey in meatballs is a healthier alternative than ground beef. Serve with cooked pasta. Enjoy.

Almond Thumbprint Cookies Recipe

Almond Thumbprint Cookies
These almond thumbprint cookies are great to prepare for Christmas! There are three parts to this recipe- the dough, the filling, and the glaze. You will want to plan ahead for this recipe because the dough needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours before preparing the cookies for baking. You can prepare the dough the night before and make the cookies in the morning if you wish. The filling is simply raspberry jam but you can use other flavors as well—I used raspberry, apricot, and blackberry. The glaze is a combination of confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla or almond extract. Enjoy.

Sausage and Herb Stuffing Recipe

Sausage and Herb Stuffing
If you are looking for a delicious stuffing recipe for the holidays, this one is perfect. I prepared this sausage and herb stuffing for Thanksgiving this year and it was a big hit. What makes this stuffing so amazing is the use of fresh herbs such as sage, rosemary and parsley and the use of sweet Italian sausage. This recipe uses pre-made stuffing cubes to help save time and makes this dish easy to prepare. Onions, garlic, and celery are sautéed in butter and then added to the bread cubes along with various ingredients. The sausage is cooked in the same skillet as the celery and onion mixture. Once the ingredients are mixed with the stuffing cubes, the dish is placed into the oven and baked until golden brown on top. The top of the casserole should be brown and crunchy. Enjoy.

Poutine Pizza Recipe

  • by

poutine pizza
The ingredients of poutine go great on a freshly baked pizza. I came up with this idea from a poutine pizza that was on the menu at Pizza Hut in Canada recently. The sauce is a homemade gravy that gets a lot of flavor from beef broth, garlic, and ketchup. The pizza is topped off with French fries, sliced steak, and cheese curds. French fries may seem a little weird on a pizza and you may want to go easy on them. I like to use the home-style frozen French fries that you buy in the store but you can also make your own if you would prefer. This recipe is a little time consuming and I like to use a store bought pizza crust to save time. If there is any extra gravy you can use it to drizzle on top of the pizza or for dipping. If you are looking for a rather unique pizza recipe, give this one a try. Enjoy.

This recipe is very similar to the chicken artichoke flatbread pizza at Outback Steakhouse. Flatbread is topped off with an artichoke spread, chicken, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese and then baked in the oven. Once the pizza has finished baking it is then topped with additional fresh spinach and shredded parmesan cheese. The chicken can be grilled, baked or pan fried—whichever you would prefer.

You can use a package of frozen spinach that is thawed instead of the fresh if you would prefer.

Steak Fajita Pizza Recipe

Steak Fajita Pizza
The ingredients of a fajita go perfect on top of a pizza crust. This recipe was originally for a grilled steak fajita pizza but I decided to make it on the oven instead. This pizza is topped with a spicy tomato sauce, Mexican cheese blend, seasoned steak, red onion, poblano peppers and cilantro. The spicy tomato sauce is a simple combination of diced tomatoes, oregano, salt, pepper, and chili powder. You can cook the steak according to the method of your choice. You could leave the steak whole, season it, grill it and then slice it. What I did was first sliced the steak into thin strips, then seasoned it and fried it in the pan. You can also sauté the pepper and onions in a little olive oil if you would prefer instead of putting them on the pizza raw. Enjoy.
