    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.

            During the colder months an excellent recipe to prepare in the oven is Italian baked chicken. This recipe consists of chicken coated with breadcrumbs and topped with marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese.

            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.
