Cheddar Broccoli soup

This recipe called for mashed potatoes as one of the ingredients.  Fortunately I had all ingredients and was extra pleased at the results.




I was going to use my immersion blender but chose not to.

I adapted this recipe to my liking.  My amounts of each ingredient were slightly less than this recipe and I added*** 1/2 cup American cheese and 1 cup shredded cheddar instead of all cheddar.

NOTE: I also added slightly less milk. About one cup instead of two was fine. Everything else was pretty much as called for. Note: I had store bought refrigerated mashed potatoes which were handy)  Just a pinch of salt was necessary in my recipe.

Enjoy!
  • Heat oil in Dutch oven pot and add onion. Cook until translucent.
  • Add broccoli and chicken broth and cook until tender.
  • Add mashed potatoes & mix thoroughly. Heat for 5 minutes.
  • Add milk and heat some more. 
  • Add cheddar cheese.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Bisquick Easy Impossibly coconut pie

I wanted to bake yesterday and I had these ingredients handy so it was a first try using Bisquick.  
Recipe on bottom of page. ⬇️




Enjoy!

I love my original impossible Coconut pie .  It’s my favorite but this recipe was very good as well.
I’d rate it a 5*****


Note: I think the trick to my first recipe was it made totally in a blender and it was so smooth of a creamy custard.

The second I just whisked the ingredients and I used the Bisquick mixture.

Both good but the first is my favorite.

I followed directions to the tee.  

The recipe at the top browned nicely which looked really beautiful and presented really nice.

This recipe not so much but it definitely was good and sweet too.





 





Enjoy!

Hot dogs, fried potatoes and beans



We don’t eat hotdogs very often, but when we do, I prefer them to be served with fried potatoes.


Simple but tasty meal you can serve as is or add a salad or rolls.  This will serve two!

4 all beef hot dogs Cut in small pieces
Two large potatoes, skinned, and cut in medium slices
Vegetable oil, salt, and pepper and onion powder.

Baked beans cook separately 

In a large pan place a little vegetable oil. When oil is heated, add washed and skin potatoes, Salt, pepper and onion powder. You can use fresh onion, if desired, sliced thin.

Fry potatoes to brown on one side, flip and fry on the other side add hotdog pieces and cook until potatoes are tender.
Serve with baked beans a  simple but pretty good meal we enjoy it once and a while.
