Oreo Cake Batter Ice Cream

Oreo Cake Batter Ice Cream

Recipe adapted slightly from Annie’s Eats

2 1/2 cups whole milk, divided

1/2 cup yellow cake mix (I used Pillsbury Funfetti because I had a box on hand)

1/2 cup sugar

Pinch of salt

3 egg yolks

2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 rows of cake batter flavored Oreos, roughly chopped

In a medium, heavy bottom sauce pan combine 1 cup of the whole milk with the cake mix, and sugar. Whisk over medium heat until warmed through, making sure the cake mix doesn’t clump. In a small bowl whisk the egg yolks with the pinch of salt until smooth. In a large bowl combine the remaining milk, heavy cream and vanilla, and place a fine mesh sieve over top.

When the heated milk mixture begins to steam slightly, remove from heat. Slowly ladle 1/4 cup of the mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly. This is called tempering, it prevents the yolks from cooking and scrambling when they hit the hot milk mixture. Test the yolks to make sure they’re not still cold and then slowly pour them into the steaming milk mixture, again whisking constantly.

Keep whisking until the mixture has thickened and an instant read thermometer reads 170-175°F. I found that as I was whisking the cake batter was making my mixture clumpy. Don’t worry, this won’t effect your base, it just makes it kind of difficult to whisk. Once the the base reaches the 170-175°F, pour through the sieve into the milk and cream mixture. Whisk gently to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.

After the base has chilled thoroughly freeze according to your ice cream maker’s instructions. About 10 minutes before the cycle is over, add in your chopped Oreos. Pour into a large container and freeze until hard.

Ice cream will last about three weeks to a month in an airtight container, though I’ve been known to savor mine for several months, even if it is a bit frost bitten.

Szechuan Chicken and Noodles

Szechuan Chicken and Noodles

(sixsistersstuff.com)

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 3/4 cups Yoshida's Original Gourmet Sauce*
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 green bell peppers, diced (seeds and ribs removed)
• 1 small yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon paprika 
• 1 box (13.25 oz) whole wheat linguine noodles (you don't have to use whole wheat) 

Directions:

Cook the linguine noodles according to the directions on the package.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add the chicken and cook until chicken turns white and is no longer pink on the inside (takes about 8-10 minutes). Remove the chicken onto a plate.

In the same skillet, add olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute until soft (about 8 minutes). Once the vegetables are done, add the cooked chicken back to the skillet.

Add in the sauce, minced garlic and paprika. Stir well. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 5-8 more minutes, or until marinade is thoroughly heated and slightly thickened. Add in the cooked broccoli last.

When linguine is done cooking drain the water and then add noodles into the chicken/sauce mixture. Stir to combine and serve.

Makes 6 servings.

We all loved this.  I cooked the chicken in the slow cooker with the Yoshida's sauce to save time and then threw it in the pot at the end.  Really good!

Ok, these are amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies! The best ever.

Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies

recipe here

• 2 and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, spoon & leveled
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar, loosely packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk*
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

1. Instructions
2. Toss together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
3. In a medium size bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the egg, then the egg yolk. Finally, whisk in the vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a large spoon or rubber spatula. The dough will be very soft. Fold in the chocolate chips. They may not stick to the dough because of the melted butter, but do your best to have them evenly dispersed among the dough. Cover the dough and chill for 2 hours, or up to 3 days. Chilling is mandatory.
4. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow to slightly soften at room temperature for 10 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 325F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
6. Roll the dough into balls, about 3 Tablespoons of dough each. The dough will be crumbly, but the warmth of your hands will allow the balls to stay intact. Roll the cookie dough balls to be taller rather than wide, to ensure the cookies will bake up to be thick. See this post for more clarity and a photo. Put 8 balls of dough onto each cookie sheet. Press a few more chocolate chips/chunks on top of the dough balls for looks, if desired. Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes. The cookies will look very soft and underbaked. Do not bake longer than 12 minutes. They will continue to bake on the cookie sheet. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Notes
8. *Room temperature egg + egg yolk are preferred. To bring eggs to room temperature quickly, simply place the whole eggs into a glass of warm water for 10 minutes. Recipe from sallysbakingaddiction.com

Follow these directions closely and you will be happy!  They come out beautiful, chewy, and yummily...winners, my new favorite choc chip cookie recipe.  Really.  I know I have a lot!

The Best Enchilada Soup- Chili's copycat. Crockpot

Chicken Enchilada Soup {Chili’s Copycat}

this recipe makes a lot- I usually halve it

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 medium onions, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 quart chicken stock ( I used Just Like Bouillon with water)
• 1 tablespoon chicken soup base (I took it down a little)
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (8 oz). can tomato sauce
• 1 (19 oz.) can enchilada sauce (or two 10 oz. cans) I used this quick recipe
• 1 cup masa harina (or 6 small corn tortillas, minced, I blended mine in the blender)
• 16 oz. Velveeta, cubed
• 1 (22 oz.) bag Tyson roasted and diced chicken, thawed (I just threw my 1 or 2 breasts in the crockpot)
• 1 can whole kernel corn, drained (optional)
• 1 can black beans, drained (optional)
• Garnishes: pico de gallo, sour cream, shredded cheese, crunchy tortilla strips

1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and saute the onions until they are tender. Add the minced garlic and cook another minute or two, then scrape the onions and garlic into your crock pot.

2. Add all the other ingredients, except the chicken (unless you're using the uncooked chicken), corn and black beans. Cook over high heat for 4 hours or low for 5-7. However you work your crockpot magic. Whisk until smooth (you may wish to use a stick blender).

3. Add the chicken pieces, corn and black beans and heat through, maybe another 30 minutes to one hour. Check seasonings, and garnish as you like before serving.

This is so great!  I've made it twice already.  The tortillas thicken it up nicely and add a nice flavor, even though I usually don't go for corn tortillas.  The velveeta adds a nice richness and creaminess.  I have two other recipes for Enchilada Soup on this site, but one uses cream of chicken soup and one uses little pastas so they all have a place here.

My new favorite choc chip recipe

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe that I Love
(from lilluna.com)

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp. almond extract
• 1 tsp.vanilla
• 3 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 cup cookies and cream bars, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cream butter, oil and sugars. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.
3. Add remaining ingredients.
4. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake for 7-9 minutes.

What's great about these is the almond extract adds a nice little flavor, and the vegetable oil makes for the nice crackly top.  The cookie is still soft, but not cakey or too chewy.  I do like to chill the dough before baking to keep from spreading.

Knockoff Panda Express Chow Mein-- easy and kid-friendly!

• not an awesome pic, sorry
• 
  
• Panda Express Chow Mein Knock-off
• (from favfamilyrecipes.com)
• 
  
• 1/4 c. soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (I used about a teaspoon of garlic powder)
• 1 tsp. fresh ginger, grated (I used a sprinkling of ground ginger)
• ground black pepper, to taste
• 2-3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 3 (5.6 oz) packages refrigerated Yaki Soba noodles (found in the produce section of the grocery store.. usually the 3 packages are sold together in one 17oz. pack)
• 2/3 c. chopped celery (chopped diagonally)
• 1 medium-sized onion, thinly sliced
• 2 c. chopped cabbage

Instructions

• In a small bowl combine soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and black pepper. Set aside.
• Remove Yaki Soba from packages and discard included flavoring packets. Rinse noodles well, drain, and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large wok or skillet. Add celery and onion and saute for about 1-2 minutes or until onions start to become soft and transparent. Add cabbage and saute an additional minute or so.
• Toss Yaki Soba noodles and soy sauce mixture with the vegetables over medium-high heat for an additional 2-3 minutes or until noodles are heated through.

Wow--- the kids loved this!  It tasted a lot like Panda Express but less greasy...I forget I was going to use sesame oil instead of the vegetable oil to give it a little more nutty flavor.  It was great though.  It was about 4 dollars for the big pack of noodles, which is kind of pricey, will look out for cheaper price somewhere.  You can serve this with many different kinds of chicken.  I served it with the crockpot Honey Garlic Chicken.

A flavorful salad- Craisin Feta Pecan Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

• 
  
• Candied Pecan, Craisin, and Feta Salad
• 2-3 cups spring mix salad
• 1 cup sugar coated pecans (I used a quick recipe on allrecipes to candy my pecans http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sugar-coated-pecans/)
• 1 cup craisins
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 
  
• . CREAMY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE 
• 4 cloves garlic, grated
• 3 Tbsp. mayo
• 2 T. lemon juice
• 2 T. sugar
• 1 T. Dijon mustard
• 2 t. Morton's Nature Seasoning (I used a combo of a little garlic salt, pepper, onion powder)
• 1 1/2 t. salt
• 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
• 3/4 c. extra virgin olive oil

1. In a large bowl or on a large plate, lay out spring mix salad. Top with sugar coated pecans, craisins, and crumbled feta.
2. You could use a store bought Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette or you can make the recipe above by whisking together garlic, mayo, lemon juice, dijon mustard, sugar, Nature's Seasoning, and salt until well combined. Add the balsamic vinegar and whisk well. Slowly add in the olive oil (while whisking).
3. Pour dressing over prepared salad and enjoy! Refrigerate any leftover dressing.(from chefintraining.com)

This was full of flavor, I really liked it.  I didn't have fresh garlic or Morton's seasoning but I used garlic powder and other spices.  The dressing is really forgiving, but it makes the salad.

Tomatillo Ranch Burritos from the Food Nanny!

Chicken Burritos With Salsa Verde and Lime
(from thefoodnannyblog.com)

BURRITOS:
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and ground black pepper
1 (15-oz) can black beans, drained
Santa Fe Lime Rice (recipe to follow)
6 burrito sizes flour tortillas
1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese or Monterey Jack

SAUCE:
1 cup bottled salsa verde
1 (0.4 oz) packet buttermilk dressing mix (ranch)
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp minced garlic
½ tsp coarse salt
1 TBLS fresh limejuice
¼ tsp ground cumin
¼ cup sugar
Dash Tabasco (optional)

1. Prepare the rice and keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, grill (or broil) the chicken breasts over medium heat, until tender and no longer pink. Shred the chicken with two forks and season with salt and pepper.
3. To make the sauce, put all the sauce ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. Heat the sauce in a saucepan or the microwave.
4. Heat the black beans in a saucepan or the microwave
5. To assemble burritos: Divide the chicken among the tortillas. Add a scoop of rice and a scoop of beans to each one. Fold up the bottom third of one tortilla over the filling, fold in the sides, and then fold down the top. Repeat for the remaining tortilla’s
6. Preheat the broiler to low and adjust the oven rack to about 6 inches from the heat. Place the filled burritos seam side down in a broiler pan, or oblong metal pan, and pour the sauce over all. Sprinkle with cheese.
7. Place the pan under the broiler, watch closely and broil until the sauce is bubbly, just a few minutes.

Variations: As an alternative to broiling, bake the burritos, topped with sauce and cheese, in the oven at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly. Or simply serve the filled burritos on a platter and pass the heated sauce and the cheese in separate bowls.

Santa Fe Lime Rice

1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
2 cups chicken broth
¼ tsp salt
Juice of ½ lime
2 TBLS butter
2 TBLS chopped fresh cilantro
¼ tsp ground cumin

Combine the rice, broth, and slat in a large saucepan over med-high heat. Bring to a boil. Decrease the heat to simmer and add the lime juice, butter, cilantro, and cumin. Stir, cover, and simmer 15-20 minutes, until rice is tender.

These are delectable!  I love how easy the dressing is to make, how it tastes just like the famous Cafe Rio Cilantro Creamy Dressing,  but uses bottled green sauce.  I like how it's on top of the burritos too, instead of just plain enchilada sauce.
