Notes  

This was soooo good! I was in charge of bring a couple of cobblers to a church activity the other night. I found this recipe on Allrecipe.com, but tweaked it a bit. I added the cinnamon, vanilla & brown sugar. I cut the white sugar down a bit also. I ended up using canned peaches (drained) and frozen blueberries. The more fruit you add the better the dessert. This cobbler is NOT a crumbled one like my apple crisp, it's more of a doughy cobbler. It reminded me of a wonderful breakfast dish from a B&B. If you'd like to make this bigger in a 9x13 pan, just simply double the recipe! Next time I'm gonna try raspberries. It was a hit amongst my friends & definitely a keeper recipe for our family! Enjoy!

Spinach Feta Quiche

Ingredients:

10 oz frozen spinach (thawed)
4 eggs
4-6 oz. feta
1/2 c. cheddar chez shredded
All ready made pie crust (I prefer the ones that you have to press into a pie pan)
garlic (2 tsp)
olive oil (1 tbsp)
1 onion
salt/pepper
1/2 milk

Directions:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a skillet saute onion, garlic, olive oil together until onions soften. Add spinach, feta, 1/4 cheddar, salt and pepper and warm on skillet. Add mixture to pie crust. Separately beat together eggs & milk. Pour egg mixture over spinach mixture in pie crust. Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Take out and add remainder cheddar on top. Bake for a remaining 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes: THIS IS SOOOO GOOD! I love this quiche. I think I found it on allrecipes awhile back. I basically stick to the ingredients, but I'm sure you could add more cheese if you like...or garlic. Whatever you like. I do like to bake the pie crust alone for 5 minutes before pouring the ingredients in. This is great for breakfast OR even dinner with light garden salad. Enjoy!

Review: This is my momma's yummy recipe! It always reminds me of the holidays. It's a great dish to serve up if you don't want plan 'ol stuffing & some veggies in your diet. You can add zucchini too, but I never really have. Even though it's not the holidays right now, this recipe would still go good with some chicken on the side with salad. Do it up! You'll love it!

Sweet Potato Casserole

google.com

This is the best sweet potato casserole EVER! I'm not a big fan of the marshmallows people usually put in sweet potato casserole. This recipe was given to me from a friend. It use to be made by her grandmother. When I finally made it & ate it...it reminded me just of my momma's sweet potatoes. Ive never compared the ingredients with this recipe with my mom's, but I'm sure it's pretty close. This dish is sweet, but not soooo sweet that you can't taste the flavor of the sweet potatoes.

Ingredients:

Filling:
5 cups of smashed sweet potatoes
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. milk
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Topping:
1 c. light brown sugar
1/3 c. flour
1/3 c. butter
1 c. chopped walnuts

Directions:
Peel, chop & boil sweet potatoes until soft. Put all "Filling" ingredients into a bowl & mix on low with beaters. Put filling into a casserole dish. Mix "toppings" together and place on top (crumbled) of filling. Bake at 375 for 20- 25 minutes. Enjoy! MY KIDS LOVE THIS!

Swiss Vegetable Medley

google.com

Ingredients:
1 bag frozen broccoli, carrots & cauliflower (thawed and drained)
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup (4 oz) shredded Swiss cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
1 jar (4 oz) chopped pimento (drained)
1 can French fried onions

Directions:
Combine vegetables, soup, 1/2 cup cheese, sour cream, pepper, pimento and 1/2 can onions. Pour into 1 quart casserole dish. Baked covered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and onions. Bake uncovered 5 minutes of more.

Notes: If you have a large party, you can actually use 2 (16 oz) frozen bags of vegetables. You do not need to double the rest of the ingredients. If you do not have swiss cheese, you may substitute Italian blend cheese. I use the large can of fried onions. THIS IS MY FAVORITE VEGGIE DISH! If you are tired of the same ol' green bean casserole, try this recipe instead. I promise you won't be disappointed. This recipe was given to me by my mom. Love you mom! I saw a similar recipe on allrecipes.com, but it's missing the pimento...which is a yummy ingredient. Let me know what you think if you try this out!
