Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

Praline Crumb Caramel Cheesecake Bars

Description

The holidays are coming up fast, and I always love to create fun desserts… and this is one of them!

Ingredients (Cookie Base and Topping)

1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix

1/2 cup cold butter or margarine

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup toffee bits

Ingredients (Filling)

2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 cup caramel topping

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 egg

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Place cookie mix in bowl; cut in butter using pastry blender or fork until mixture is crumbly. Reserve 1 1/2 cups mixture for topping. Press remaining mixture in bottom of pan. Bake 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, 1/4 cup of the caramel topping, vanilla and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over partially baked cookie base. Sprinkle with reserved crumb topping, pecans and toffee bits. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup caramel topping. For bars, cut into 9 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

Pumpkin Pie Bourbon and Pear Cocktail

Description

When I think of holidays, I think pumpkin, pears, apples–and my grandmother’s bourbon pecan pie. This recipe combines the best of all holiday things: Pear and pumpkin. The drink does require a little bit of work ahead of time but it sounds delicious!

Ingredients (Cocktail)

1 1/2 oz pumpkin pie spiced bourbon

1 1/2 oz pear syrup

1/4 oz lemon juice

2 oz sparkling water

Ingredients (Bourbon)

375ml bottle of bourbon

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice blend

Ingredients (Pear Syrup)

1 cup chopped bartlett pear (~ 1 large pear)

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

Directions (Pear Syrup)

Add sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat, stir to combine and cook until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Roughly chop the pears and add to the simple syrup. Use a potato masher to mash the pears to a pulp in the syrup. Double strain the pear mixture through a fine mesh strainer lined with a tea cloth. Use your hand to squeeze the cloth to get all the juice out of the pear pulp.

Directions (Bourbon)

Add the pumpkin pie spice blend directly to the bottle of bourbon. Shake to incorporate and store in a cool dark place for 24 hours. Give a shake every couple hours to reincorporate the spices. Remove the spices by double straining through a fine mesh strainer lined with a coffee filter. Funnel the bourbon back into original bottle.

Directions (Cocktail)

Add the pumpkin pie spiced bourbon, pear syrup, lemon juice, and sparkling water to an ice-filled old fashioned glass. Give a quick stir to combine. Garnish with a thin slice of fresh pear.

Russ’s Drink Corner

Andalusia Stryker Texas Whiskey

Description

Andalusia Whiskey Co produces fine handcrafted whiskies deep in the Texas Hill Country as a reminiscent scene of the hills in the beautiful Andalucia, Spain. Each whiskey being “grain to glass,” we begin with a mash of the finest American grown malted grains. We then continue our production here in Blanco, Texas distilling each in our hand-crafted copper pot still. Stryker adopts the Scottish tradition of smoking malted barley that is destined to be used in their signature Islay Scotches. Rather than burning peat, however, Stryker is mashed from malted barley that has been smoked in the Texas BBQ tradition: with oak, mesquite, and apple woods. This is Backyard BBQ Whiskey at it’s best.

Details

Mashbill: 100% Malted barley

Proof: 100 (50% ABV)

Region: Blanco, Texas, USA

Color: Reddish gold

Nose: Vanilla cream, salt, toasted oak

Taste: Mild mesquite smoke, cereal grains, apple cider

Finish: Short finish with hints of barley and vanilla

Price: $50 (750 ml)

Rating: 85

Chicken Enchilada Soup

Description

When it gets cold out, I love a good soup… especially this one, which I feel in love with years ago when I’d order it at our local Chili’s restaurant.

Ingredients

1 pound chicken breasts boneless skinless and cut into 1? chunks

1 teaspoon Kosher salt divided

2 tablespoons canola oil

3/4 yellow onion diced (the rest of the onion goes to the topping)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 garlic clove minced

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup masa harina

4 cups water

1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce or one 12 ounce can

8 ounces cream cheese cheese cut into small cubes

8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese

Toppings

2 roma tomatoes diced

1/4 yellow onion diced

1/2 jalapeno deseeded, deveined and minced

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

1 pinch coarse ground black pepper

1/4 cup cotija cheese crumbles

Tortilla Strips

Directions

In a large dutch oven add the canola oil over medium high heat. Add half the kosher salt to the chicken pieces and add them to the dutch oven. Cook the chicken 3-4 minutes on each side, until just cooked through. Remove the chicken and add in the onions and garlic and lower the heat to medium. Add in the spices and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add in the chicken broth and whisk. In a large bowl add the masa harina to the water and whisk it together well. Add it into the dutch oven along with the enchilada sauce. Add the chicken back in. Stir well and let simmer for 30-40 minutes on low heat. Add in the cream cheese and cheddar cheese and stir well until melted. Add the topping ingredients, except for the cotija cheese into a bowl together and stir. Top the soup with some of the tomato mixture and some crumbled cheese. To prepare in a Slow Cooker: Add in all the soup ingredients except for the cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Mix really well and cook on low for 7-8 hours (High for 3-4 hours). In the last hour add in the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and stir well. Serve with the toppings as instructed in the recipe.

Sheet-Pan Teriyaki Chicken and Pineapple Stir-Fry

Description

Sometimes I just want something quick and easy to throw together for dinner, and this is that type of meal… and it takes care of my craving for Teriyaki chicken!

Ingredients

1/4 cup thick teriyaki sauce (Kikkoman makes a “teriyaki glaze” that is perfect for this!)

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks

1 1/2 cups 1-inch cubes fresh pineapple

2 medium carrots, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices

1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon sesame seed

3 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

Heat oven to 500°F. Spray 18x13-inch rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, beat teriyaki sauce, honey and Sriracha sauce with whisk. Add chicken, pineapple, carrots and bell pepper; gently toss to coat. Arrange in single layer on sheet pan. Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center (at least 165°F). Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seed and green onions.

Maple Old Fashioned

Description

While I try to stick with Vodka or Rum drinks (they’re my favorite alcoholic beverages), I am also a fan of Bourbon and Scotch.  While perusing for a good fall-themed drink, this one caught my eye… Old Fashions, while I love them, can be a little bitter, but the maple syrup will definitely take that bite away and add a taste of fall to your drink!

Ingredients

2 ounces rye whiskey or bourbon

1 teaspoon pure maple syrup

Dash of Angostura bitters

Orange peel (for garnish)

Directions

Mix whiskey, maple syrup, bitters, and 1 tsp. water in an old-fashioned glass until syrup is dissolved. Add a single large ice cube, then garnish with orange peel.

Russ’s Drink Corner

Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey

Description

While this is a blended whiskey roughly 80% of the source for this product is whiskey that was produced from malted barley. The remaining 20% of the volume comes from grain whiskey that is added and blended together. Once the whiskey is blended, it is aged for up to seven years in a combination of previously used sherry casks and bourbon barrels to impart some of the flavors into the spirit.

Details

Mashbill: 80% malted barley, 20% grain whiskey

Proof: 80 (40% ABV)

Region: Northern Ireland

Color: Golden honey

Nose: Apple, vanilla, salted butter, malted barley

Taste: Caramel, apple, cinnamon, vanilla, buttered bread, toffee

Finish: Medium, slightly oily finish with hints of barley, soft fruit and oak

Price: $30 (750 ml)

Rating: 86
