Crab and Artichoke Dip

by Pam on November 7, 2012

We had friends over to watch the election coverage and we had a smorgasbord of appetizers to munch on through the night. I made this crab and artichoke dip and served it with crostini. It took only a few minutes to make and tasted fantastic. This dip had a great combination of flavors and textures – cheesy, creamy, salty, and delicious.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

Add the crab, chopped artichoke hearts, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, and minced garlic together in a bowl. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden on the top. Serve with crostini, crackers, or tortilla chips. Enjoy.

Chocolate-Cherry Blondies

by Pam on October 1, 2012

I found this recipe in a recent Everyday Food that looked perfect for my kids. I adapted it a bit by halving the recipe, using some whole wheat flour, and mini chocolate chips because that is what I had on hand. My family likes then under cooked a bit so they are gooey. If your prefer them fully cooked then add a couple of minutes to the cooking time. They turned out to be a huge hit for their after school snack and both kids gobbled their blondie up in seconds. They said they really loved the tart cherries with the rich chocolate… I have a feeling my husband is really going to love them too.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8×8 glass baking dish with cooking spray.

Combine the flour with the baking soda and salt then mix well.

Using a mixer, beat the sugars together with the butter until creamy and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla then beat until mixed thoroughly. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until combined. Add the cherries and chocolate chips and mix. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Place into the oven and bake for 28 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy.

Mini Baked Frittata with Ham, Jalapeno, Sharp Cheddar, Tomatoes, and Cilantro

by Pam on November 12, 2012

I love making individual frittatas for lunch. They are easy to make, healthy, and a great way to use up leftovers in your refrigerator. I am surprised that I have never tried adding cilantro to my frittatas before – it made such a wonderful addition to this dish. I loved the combination of flavors – spicy from the jalapenos, salty from the cheese & ham, and sweet from the baked tomatoes. I have a feeling I will be making this again very soon!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a mini baking dish with cooking spray.

Mix the eggs with the milk until well combined then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Place a few pieces of ham, jalapeno, sharp cheddar, tomatoes, and cilantro into the mini baking dish.

Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish then place the remaining ham, jalapeno, sharp cheddar, tomatoes, and cilantro on top.

Place into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy.
