Janie Davis Bread

 1 stick butter

Small grated onion

1 tablespoon poppy seed

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Loaf of Italian bread

Sliced Swiss cheese706-302-6359


Slice the bread but not all the way through.   Melt butter and add onion, poppy seed and Dijon mustard.  Brush the butter mixture between every slice of bread.  Add cheese to each section.  Wrap in foil and bake 350 for 20 minutes.  Open the foil and bake 10 more minutes.  

Artichoke Dip

 Some of my favorite recipes I have gotten from Janie Davis.  This one doesn't disappoint. 

2 cans artichoke hearts

2 cups parmesean cheese (in the can)

2 cups Hellmans Mao

Paprika 

Drain and chop artichoke hearts.  Mix with parmesean cheese and Mao. Sprinkle with Paprika.  Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

Serve with bagel chips or toasted baguette slices. 

You can add cooked chicken if you want it to be more hardy.

Southern Chicken salad

 2 pounds boneless breast roasted and diced or shredded (roughly 2 large breast)

1/2 cup mayonnaise 

1/2 cup  sour cream

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 apple peeled and diced

1 cup toasted pecans (10 min in 350 degree oven) chopped

1/2 cup dried cranberries 

Salt and pepper to taste. 

Mix all wet ingredients together and toss with the other ingredients. Refrigerate.   I actually think it's better if it sits in the frig awhile before you serve it so the flavors can marry. 

Blush Wine salad dressing

 This dressing is perfect on salads with strawberries,  toasted pecans and feta cheese.

1/2 cup oil (canola or vegetable)

1/4 cup red wine vinegar 

1/4 cup water 

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Buffalo chicken pizza

 For crust I use Martha White Pizza crust mix.  It comes in the packages like the muffin mixes, not a box.  I prepare it according to package directions and I go ahead and slide it in the oven while I'm mixing up my chicken mixture.

I used half the recipe for my buffalo chicken dip that I have already posted to my blog.  I spread it onto the pizza crust and bake at the 475 directed on the pie crust for 10-12 minutes.  Check the bottom of the crust to determine if it's done.  Let it cool slightly before you serve it.

EASY way to cook bacon

 Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.   Lay slices of bacon on the parchment paper.   Place in cold oven.  Turn oven on 425 degrees and set timer for 25 minutes.  Thick slice bacon will take a little longer.  Easy clean up.  Just carefully pull up the edges of the paper to the center and place in the trash can.  Pan will not even need washing.
