Dinner Recipes / Mushroom Chicken Piccata
« on: September 27, 2014, 09:21:26 AM »
Had a wonderful dinner with the Varriuers last night and had to share my recipe.

4 chicken cutlets
4 tsp olive oil
8 oz fresh mushrooms
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp capers with juice

Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides; add 2 tbsp olive oil in large saute pan over medium heat.  And chicken after briefly warming oil and cook until nicely browned, about two minutes per side.  Remove chicken to a plate and cover.

In the same pan, ad remaining olive oil and add mushrooms and garlic  Saute and stir frequently for about 5-6 minutes.  Add liquids then heat to bubbling.  At this point, if you want you can add lemon slices along with the juice. Add capers and continue to cook until sauce becomes a glaze, about 2 min.  Add chicken to the sauce and heat.

You can serve on a bed of fresh cooked spinach or topped with fresh arugula.

We had ours with Doug's newest recipe of Green bean casserole.  Which wonderful.

Enjoy!  ;)

Sides and Snacks / baked cheese sticks
« on: February 04, 2014, 07:21:47 PM »
found a great recipe for people who love cheese like I do!!! Mozzarella cheese balls. 

Take mozzarella cheese sticks from grocery that are indivdually wrapped and cut in to chucks and soak in half and half.  then grind original flavored pork rinds in blender so they are like bread crumbs. Soak in half and half then roll in pork rinds until covered.  Heat oven at 425 degrees on cookie sheet(I put mine on parchament paper)for 8-10 minutes and serve with marinara.  Taste just like mozzarella sticks.  If you want, you can use the whole stick instead of cutting in chucks. I thought it was easier as a finger food as a ball. They were awesome.  hope you all enjoy

This recipe sounds yummy.....can you help convert this? Thanks Umpa

Impossible Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes
DON'T LOSE THIS! "Share" or Tag yourself so it is on your
timeline for when you want to make it.

1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup evaporated milk
2/3 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 cup muffin tin with silicone liners, foil liners sprayed with cooking spray or just spray the cups with cooking spray. Either of these three methods will make it easy to take the cupcake out after it’s cooked. Paper liners make it difficult to remove the cupcakes.

Mix the pumpkin, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and milk. Add the flour, pumpkin spice, salt, baking powder and baking soda to the mixture. Fill each muffin cup with 1/3 cup of the mixture. Bake for twenty minutes and let cool for twenty minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle more pumpkin pie spice on top and serve. Makes 12 cupcakes.

Good Evening Umpa!!!

Got a good one for you...with the holidays coming up we have an Italian favorite for dessert. Ice box cake.  I know we can use sugar free pudding and heavy cream but was wondering about the graham crackers used with it. I thought you had a graham cracker crust in the bakery book; i need to look again as the fog sets in on occasions. LOL

Here is the recipe for you to see; it is a family favorite!!!!

1 box instant chocolate pudding (if you like you can use chocolate pudding you cook; I like the instant its faster)

1 box instant vanilla pudding

graham crackers---you can use chocolate ones if you like

1 pint heavy cream----made into whipped cream


Make both pudding as per directions on the box. (Need to substitute Milk--half and half maybe?)

Pour heavy cream in bowl and add tsp of vanilla and whip

use 13x9 pan and line with graham crackers, the pour chocolate or vanilla pudding on top. Then top with graham crackers pour other pudding on top. Crush graham crackers and sprinkle on top. Refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours. Serve with whipped cream on top.

we love this recipe...please help!!! Love you!

Ask Umpa / carb count
« on: August 05, 2013, 04:26:02 PM »
Hey Umpa,

Hope you're having a great day!!! Got a question for you....I have a recipe for Brussels sprouts auto gratin but not sure of the carb count. Here's the recipe:

2 Tbsp unsalted butter cut into pieces, plus more for baking dish
Kosher salt
1 pound Brussel sprouts, outer leaves and stems removed
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated white cheddar ( I put in 1/2 cup extra Orange cheddar cuz I love lots of cheese. Lol)
1/2 plain pork rinds, crushed

Preheat oven 400 degrees and butter 2 at baking dish. Bring large pot of salted water to boil and add sprouts. Cook until tender 8-10 min.

Drain and coarsely chop. Transfer to baking dish and toss with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste than spread out evenly. Pour cream on top sprinkle with cheese and
Crushed pork rinds and dot with butter pieces. Bake until bubbly and golden brown. About 15 minutes.

We have always loved this recipe but since being with FAT to Skinny I replaced bread crumbs with pork rinds but wasn't sure about carbs. Please tell me what you think! Thanks!!
