Freezer Meatballs – extra large batch

February 8, 2011 by Tiffany

88 meatballs. That’s a lot of meatballs to stash away in the freezer.

It boggles my mind, but somehow we have managed to eat all 88 meatballs and we didn’t even have company to help. Did I mention it only took us 3 weeks to polish them off? Yikes!

I used them for spaghetti/tortellini meals twice. And I had two recipes to try out that used meatballs. One of them didn’t turn out quite the way I’d hoped the first time, so I tried it again. My kids have revolted now. I don’t think I can feed them another meatball dish for a while.

But, I still think it’s a great idea to have homemade meatballs in the freezer. They taste much better than the store-bought kind and they are better for you too. You can use them for spaghetti, of course. But they’re also good in Sweet and Sour Meatballs over Rice and Meatball Subs.

Before we get to the recipe, I want to remind you about Virtual Freezer Cooking Day on February 19. On that Saturday, I’ll be in my kitchen cooking freezer foods and I’ll be checking in on Facebook frequently to hear what you’re cooking in your kitchens. Here are the details of the event. Be sure to RSVP. There will be prizes and giveaways involved!

Back to today’s recipe: Somehow I failed to take a picture of the finished meatballs. The ingredient photo is at the top of the post.

Raspberry Filled Brownies ala Mode

February 3, 2011 by Tiffany

If you’re looking for a special dessert for Valentines Day, this is it. Your sweetie will love you for making this!

The raspberry filling dresses up the brownies. Chocolate and raspberry mingle so well together. A scoop of vanilla ice cream with extra raspberry sauce adds decadence.

As a side note, I think I could use some food styling help. I sprinkled cocoa powder on the white plate and set the brownie in the middle. So far, so good. A round scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top of the brownie. And then I warmed the raspberry sauce and spooned it over the top. Instead of drizzling down the ice cream in rivulets, it melted the ice cream and slid off in an un-pretty way.

Oh well. Once we dug our spoons in, it didn’t matter how pretty it looked. It tasted divine!

Strawberry Lemonade Cookies with Pink Lemonade Frosting

January 27, 2011 by Tiffany

Craving a pink-pink, sweet, sunshine-y bite of Valentine’s?

Here you go!

I woke up one morning a few weeks ago and the idea for this recipe popped into my mind. I’m not sure why that happens to me sometimes, but it’s a lovely way to wake up. That’s how the idea for S’mores Pie came to me too.

Anyway…I’d seen this post for Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies. It brought to mind the strawberry cake mix that I’d had in my pantry. I decided to combine it with pink lemonade. Flavor blast!

At first bite, the cookies taste almost too sweet and lemonade-y. But then you want another bite and another. Then pass me another cookie please. These are good! Like dropping bites of sunshine right into the middle of winter.

Ham and Pineapple Fried Rice

January 20, 2011 by Tiffany

My ears perked up when I heard someone mention a fried rice dish that involved ham and pineapple. Any recipe that involves cubed ham gets my attention right now, since I have so much in the freezer.

My family likes the ham/pineapple combo in recipes, but I admit that this sounded a little strange. But I was wrong. The fried rice was full of flavor and we licked the platter clean. No leftovers to fight over.

I based the recipe on Vietnam Fried Rice, but I used pineapple juice in addition to the soy sauce to season and flavor the dish. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Western Omelette Casserole

January 7, 2011 by Tiffany

For Christmas morning, I wanted to make a different type of breakfast casserole than the egg/sausage one I usually make. We have to have some kind of protein to counteract the cinnamon rolls, frozen fruit cups, and hot cocoa.

I set out on a search to find a recipe that suited me, but since I’m picky, I couldn’t find the perfect casserole. So, I created one based on several recipes. I knew I wanted ham, peppers and onions. And it needed to be something I could make the day before and pop in the oven on Christmas morning to bake.

The result was exactly what I hoped for. The green and red pepper made it look Christmasy, but it would be good for any brunch. It would also make a good breakfast-for-dinner meal. I didn’t get a photo of the ingredients, but here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Oatmeal White Chocolate Chip and Cranberry Cookies

December 16, 2010 by Tiffany

Last year, I saw recipes for cookies like this floating around the internet. A friend brought some to my house and they were so good. How can you go wrong with white chocolate chips and cranberries?

I decided to make them yesterday, but didn’t want to look up the recipe. Googling is so hard, you know?

So I tweaked the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip recipe from the back of the Walmart brand oat box. As soon as I finished making them, I noticed the recipe on the back of the Craisin package. Oh well. My tweaked recipe tasted buttery, with the sweet-tart flavors of the white chips and cranberries. And the recipe made a lot. Enough to munch and freeze some for later.

White Chocolate Brownies and Tate’s Bake Shop Giveaway

December 2, 2010 by Tiffany

My name for these bars would be White Chocolate Cranberry Bars, but the Tate’s Bake Shop cookbook by Kathleen King calls them White Chocolate Brownies.

By either name, they are delicious. The bars are dense and sweet, but not too sweet. You can definitely taste the white chocolate in these and the cranberries are a perfect complement.

Pumpkin Swirl Brownies

November 20, 2010 by Tiffany

This is a guest post from Sweet T of Sweet T Studio.

For this recipe, I started with Martha’s Pumpkin-Swirl Brownies, & made a few modifications to the original recipe to bring DOWN the guilt-factor, in regard to my thighs, AND my wallet, hehe! (I doubled my recipe, because I was taking it to a big party, but this would be an ideal recipe to make two, & freeze one for later! Time saver!) [Read more...]

Gingerbread Pancakes with Sweet Cider Syrup

November 18, 2010 by Tiffany

I made these pancakes for dinner last night and they quickly bumped to the top of my “recipes to share” list. Please schedule a breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or snack time to cook up a batch. You’ll thank me later.

The pancakes are sweetened with molasses and spiced with ginger, cinnamon and allspice. But it’s the Sweet Cider Syrup that steals the show.
