Some of my favorite recipes I have gotten from Janie Davis. This one doesn't disappoint.
2 cans artichoke hearts
2 cups parmesan cheese (in the can)
2 cups Hellmans Mao
Paprika
Drain and chop artichoke hearts. Mix with parmesan 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.
1 1/2 cup self rising flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons melted butter
Mix dry ingredients together including the pecans. Mix milk and eggs together with a fork until well mixed. Add liquid to the dry mix and stir till well mixed. Melt the butter in a skillet. Add 1/4 cup of the batter to the melted butter. When batter starts to bubble flip to other side until brown. Serve with maple syrup.
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 granny smith 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.
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
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.
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.
Take a wheel of brie cheese scored both ways.
Top with pepper jelly and bacon that has been cooked and diced.
Place in oven on 400 for 15 to 20 minutes until melted. Serve with crackers.
