Delicious Potato Skins

Whether it's Football Party time or Anytime
is a great time for these appetizers..Potato Skins
filled with whatever you love (cheese, bacon, chives,
sour cream) These are from Daisy brand sour cream
recipes. These are super easy to make.

RECIPE
6 sm. baking potatoes
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
2 tsp. grill steak seasoning/or seasoned salt
4 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
2 c. shredded cheese (I used Mexican 4 cheese)
4 strips bacon, cooked, crumbled
3/4 c. sour cream
2 tsp. snipped fresh chives (optional)

Directions:
Lightly grease outside of potatoes, cut a small slit
in top & Bake @ 425F. for 45 min. or until soft.
Let stand until cool enough to handle,
about 15 min.

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise & scoop out
cooked potato, leaving a thin layer of potato
interior. (Save cooked potato for mashed potatoes
or hash browns.) SEE (2) PHOTOS BELOW:

Brush outside and inside of skins with melted

butter. Sprinkle inside with steak seasoning &

Parmesan cheese. AS SEEN BELOW:

Place on lightly greased baking sheet (I love

& used Silpat Liners from France) Bake

8 min. or until crisp & bubbly. Fill with

your favorite cheeses & bacon. Bake 3 min.

or until cheese is melted. Top each with a

dollop of sour cream & sprinkle with chives.

(optional..I don't like chives so this is the

end result) SEE BELOW:

How to make the "Best Honey BBQ Ribs" (in the oven)

Oh my Goodness........These ribs are the
Best I've tasted in a long time!!!! My husband
said "Honey these are the Best you've ever
made..ever"....3 times...in 1 minute!!!! The
rest of the family said the same thing!!! I 'll have
to make these more often if I can receive that kind
of appreciation....

I've made Country Style Boneless Ribs for a lot
of years but these are different...I experimented with
the recipe & found some Great flavors (the Dijon
mustard gives it a KICK) to blend in the sauce & a
different way to bake them!! Soooooooo..of course I
wanted to share these ideas with you guys....
Here goes: Pre-heat oven to 250F.

RECIPE
3 -3 1/2 lbs. of Country Style pork or beef ribs (I used boneless)
1 tsp. minced garlic
dash of garlic powder
dash of salt
dash of pepper
BBQ Sauce
2 c. Honey BBQ sauce
1 1/2 c. Brown sugar
2 tsp. Dijon mustard

Directions:
Line a 9 x 13" pan with aluminum foil
over lapping the sides enough to fold
over top of ribs.

Place Country Stye ribs in pan and sprinkle both
sides with garlic powder, salt, pepper, &
minced garlic. AS SEEN BELOW

Fold aluminum foil over & place in pre-heated
250F. oven and bake for 2 hrs.

While ribs are baking, mix together Brown sugar,

Honey BBQ Sauce, & Dijon mustard into a

beautiful basting glaze. SEE BELOW

After baking for 2 hrs. take ribs out of

oven, drain excess water and grease from

pan, & baste ribs with glaze....put back in

oven for 1 hr..Take out...Optional: baste 1

more time for an even thicker glaze and put

back in the oven for 10 more minutes.. Throw out any un-used sauce since you have been

using a brush back & forth touching raw meat..so for

health reasons you would not use any left

over sauce. After.. Tender, juicy & succulent!!!!

After you make these..you'll have to keep them

hidden or they'll be gone...Before dinner. That's

what my family told me..so be forewarned..

These would be a SUPER football party food.

The glaze could be even put over wings or chicken
legs. Deliciousssssssssssssssss.....Enjoy..

3 Bean Chili (Super Fast/Easy)

Don't you just love the crispness of Fall? I do..
Inside there are the aromas of an amazing Chili are
looming...This is soo great. It's nutritious...
filling..and warming to your insides...
Comfort Food. We even coupled it with Cheddar
Biscuits we made a couple days ago. Still
Delicious....

I took 2 completely different recipes from 2
different generations & mixed them together,
omitted some other ingredients & came up with this.
I wanted something that would be especially
nutritious for my family...Remember my
New Year's resolution (to eat more nutritiously
when possible)

My daughter let me know in past weeks how
much she loves black beans, & how good they
are for you sooo I wanted black beans, kidney
beans, & veggies in it plus some lean gr. beef..
but not too spicy.. This is what I came
up with.

I also wanted to start using Food from
our Food Storage on a more daily basis so
I'll let you know what comes of that, too.
Hope you enjoy this as I much as I had coming
up with it....

Fantastic Cheddar Biscuits

We just celebrated my daughter's birthday &
so she got to choose the dinner she wanted
which consisted of Tempura Shrimp, veggies,
fries, & we had Fantastic Cheddar Biscuits!!
The kind that taste like a lobster place we all know
& love....I wanted you all to have a chance at tasting
these delicious gems...Adapted from F. Poste of
allrecipes.com

RECIPE

2 c. biscuit mix (I used Bisquick)
1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp. dried minced onion
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2/3 c. milk
1/4 c. melted butter

Bake @ 450F for 11 min. or golden brown

Directions:
In a bowl, combine biscuit mix, cheese, onion,
& garlic powder (I added this INTO the mix..
the original recipe puts the garlic powder with
the butter to be brushed on afterwards) I think
it tastes much better mixed in with the other
ingredients...

Stir in milk until a soft dough forms a ball as ABOVE..

Using a large cookie scoop..drop rounded
tablespoons 2" apart onto baking sheet.
By the way...I love my SILPAT liners
from France. They are one of my Favorite
Kitchen items.

Melt butter & brush over warm biscuits...
Yummmmm...Melt in your mouth Cheddar
Biscuits...
