13 Incredibly Delicious Potato Recipes for the Holidays!

November 22, 2015 by Nettie 2 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for Thanksgiving dinner! It’s all about the potatoes for me. Since hubs buys in bulk and bought 70 pounds of potatoes for $7.00 this week, we are all set! He is the Potato King in our house…it may have to do with the fact that he is Irish and loves potatoes with a side of potatoes. When I make mashed potatoes, he is my masher. There’s no one like him. He has the big pot full of cooked potatoes, and then he works his magic until those potatoes are the fluffiest, creamiest version of themselves!

Cheddar – Pecan Dip

November 21, 2014 by Nettie 14 Comments

Yum

This is an easy dip that you can whip up for the holidays or for game night or for just anytime. The roasted pecans give it a delicious crunch. Sharp White Cheddar Cheese and freshly grated Parmesan Cheese add a zesty bite. Serve with apples, or cucumbers or your favorite crackers. I like it with Trader Joe’s Pita Crisps with Cranberries and Pumpkin Seeds crackers.

Cheddar – Pecan Dip

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 3 cups

This is an easy Cream Cheese based dip that you can put together in under 30 minutes. Serve with fresh fruit or crudite or crackers. Perfect for the holidays.

Ingredients

1 cup pecan halves
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup mayonnaise
6 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
4 ounces Parmesan, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Fine salt
Finley chopped chives, for garnish ( I used French Thyme )
Sliced apples, pears, celery and/or butter crackers, for dipping

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread the pecans out on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake, tossing once, until very golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
Let cool, then very finely chop.
Process the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Cheddar, Parmesan Cheese and cayenne in a food processor until the mixture is mostly smooth.
Transfer to a large mixing bowl, stir in the pecans and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
(The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 1 day.) Spoon the dip into a serving dish, and garnish with chives.
Serve with sliced apples, pears, celery and/or butter crackers for dipping.

CORNBREAD SAUSAGE STUFFING

November 13, 2013 by Nettie 6 Comments

When I was a child, I wasn’t so fond of stuffing. I didn’t get what the big deal was? My family rejoiced as the stuffing was pulled out of the oven, one turkey stuffed, one tray just for eating, morning, noon and night! Now that I am an adult, I really understand the whole stuffing concept. I stuff my turkey with veggies. I bake the stuffing in a separate baking dish. You may call it dressing in your house, but it is called stuffing in mine. I have included my recipe for cornbread, I like my cornbread sweet, but for this recipe I have omitted the sugar. I prefer stuffing not being sweet. I have used Organic Greek Sausage from our Farmers Market, if you can’t find Greek sausage feel free to use your favorite sausage.

Easy Cornbread Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup corn meal ( I like Quaker Oats Yellow Corn Meal )
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten

Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease an 8 or 9 inch pan.
Combine dry ingredients.
Stir in milk, oil and egg, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until bread is light golden brown or a a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9 servings

Cornbread Sausage Stuffing

1 recipe Easy Corn Bread
1 pound Greek Sausage
1 onion chopped
1 stalk celery chopped
Chicken broth

Remove sausage from skin and break into small pieces into a saute pan over medium heat, brown sausage, drain oil, add chopped onion and celery, saute veggies for 2-3 minutes. Add broken up pieces of cornbread. Pour 1/2 chicken broth, mix, add another 1/2 cup broth checking to see that the stuffing is holding together. Add more broth if stuffing is dry. Spray a 9×12 baking dish with vegetable spray. Pour cornbread stuffing into dish, smooth out. Bake in oven for 20 -25 minutes, or until the outside looks golden and firm. Serves 12

Mom’s Best Pumpkin Pie

October 20, 2013 by Nettie 6 Comments

Mom's Best Pumpkin Pie

I come from a long line of pie bakers in my family. I remember my Great Grandma, Martha Cook, making her wonderful Boysenberry Cobblers that I still dream about. My Grandma Billie made a perfect Pecan Pie. Pronounced, puh-can, that’s the way it will always be for me. But my Mom can make a pie crust like nobody’s business, flaky, tender, perfect crust. I think the trick is not over working your crust, just do it and don’t think about it. She also makes the best Pumpkin Pie that I have ever had.

My son requested Pumpkin Pies instead of a cake for his birthday. Yes his love for pie is in his blood. My Mom made two pies because she knew that her grandson could eat a whole pie by himself without blinking an eye. Topped with fresh whipped cream, nothing more comforting. I have been eating this pie my whole life and can’t imagine a holiday without it.

Mom’s Best Pumpkin Pie
Makes 2 pies

6 eggs slightly beaten
1 can ( 29 oz) solid pack pumpkin (we like Libby’s)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ground Cinnamon
1 tsp ground Ginger
1/2 tsp ground Cloves
2 cans (12 fl oz each) Evaporated Milk
2 9- inch unbaked homemade pie shells

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Combine filling ingredients in order given, divide evenly into pie shells. Bake 15 mins, reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 45 mins, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Wrap foil around crust if browns too quickly. Cool, garnish with whipped cream.

Homemade Pie Crust Recipe

Makes one 9 inch deep dish pie crust

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
2-3 TBSP cold water

Directions

Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl, cut in vegetable shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle with water, blend until mixture holds together. Shape dough into a ball, place on lightly floured surface. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Line pie plate with pastry. Turn edge under, crimp edge as desired.
