Drat's Cheezy Peezy Pasta

11/15/2024

If it has cheese in it, Drat has to figure it was worth checking out.  He loved this recipe so much he even thought to share it with the Outie, Lesley.  Then of course, she had to put it on that Facebook thingy which then had people asking about how to make it.  Drat has many secrets but keeping recipes secret isn't one of them.  So if you also would like to see how this new dinner suggestion is made check it out below.
Ingredients:  1 Tbsp of virgin olive oil
                         1/4 cup of minced onions
                         1/2 lb of hamburger
                         1 tsp of minced garlic
                         2 tsps of Italian seasoning
​                                  (I used The Spice & Tea Exchange Greek Seasoning)
                         8 oz of rigatoni pasta noodles
                         4 oz of frozen chopped spinach
                         2 1/3 cups of chicken broth
                         3 oz of ricotta cheese
                         2 Tbsp of honey mustard
In a large skillet add oil, minced onions, and hamburger.  Cook until hamburger is no longer pink.  Drain of any grease and return to skillet to add garlic & Italian seasoning.​
​Add noodles and frozen spinach and then pour chicken broth over mixture.  Stir and bring to a low boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer.  Cook until noodles are al dente and most of the broth is absorbed.  
​Add the cheese and honey mustard.  Stir until cheese is melted while cooking over a low heat.  Service immediately, refrigerate any leftovers.  Serving for 2.  Enjoy!

The Hidden Delights...

​"Apples, apples, apples," Allspice kept muttering to himself.  Not that he needed them for the Ambrosia but he did required them for his favorite food in the world.
​Whenever Allspice brewed up a batch of Ambrosia, the smell of the Ambrosia brewing would triggered his craving for this delicious treat.
The sad part of this craving is that he hadn't had his favorite food for quite a while.
Where he hailed from no longer carried his quick and easy way of making it and to make it from scratch took FOREVER!  Which in a magical land can be quite a very long time indeed.  Plus with the ever demanding need for Ambrosia, he was more often too busy making that - leaving no time for other delicious treats to devour.
It was in his exploring this new Realm  while trying to find the perfect location for his brewery, that Allspice did happen to come across a bakery.  

Entering into the Sugar Plum Bakery though only revealed some wonderful cookies, muffins, and breads.  Not the tasty confection he was looking for.
Picture
"Alas!"  Allspice thought to himself.  "I'll be on a good diet since I can't find the time to make my favorite treat."  After a moment more of thought, he chuckled ruefully to himself.  "I never did admit that they were healthy for my diet.  But, oh, one bite of those tasty morsels is certainly good for the soul."
Picture
As Allspice was trekking back to his cave he wandered through this small village.  In one of the store windows was an interesting display. "Everything you need to make quick and easy Apple Turnovers," read the sign in the window.

"This isn't what I have used in the past,"  thought Allspice.  "But it certainly looks like it might be a second best option if it would give me my delicious treat.  I'll be happier than an Unicorn eating cotton candy if it does!"
Allspice rushed into the store, bought the ingredients, and then faster than a Twitterbird can deliver a message,  Allspice was back in his cave firing up the oven.
He followed the instruction on the Puff Pastry sheets.  Though he cut the large sheet into smaller squares so he could make his turnover covering.  He then opened the can of Apple pie filling and decided the slices were too big for his smaller version of his treat.  
Picture
​Chopping up the apples with a knife inside the can, he then proceeded to place a very small amount in the center of each pastry square.  
Picture
​With an extra dash of cinnamon and a touch of allspice (to give it a little boost to the tastebuds), Allspice then folded the pastry over itself sealing in all that wonderful apple filling delight.

​"Oh no!"  Allspice said to himself.  "I almost forgot the finishing touch to my favorite treat.  But its a good thing I have on hand some powdered sugar and margarine.  
A couple scoops of the sugar with just a dab of the margarine, add a dash of vanilla extract, and stir," Allspice said the recipe over to himself.  "I'll add a small splash of milk to thin this mixture into a glaze.  Then dribble it over the golden pastries after they have cooled when I pull them out of the oven."
After the pastries cooked in the oven (at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes),  Allspice in his excitement almost dropped the pan when he removed them.  But he quickly recovered himself, dribbled the glaze over the turnovers and then proceeded to sit down and eat his first bite.  "Oh yes! Yummmm," Allspice thought to himself.  Then he chuckled.  "I can now have my treat in this new land!  What a nice boon for moving, but I will certainly have to limit myself or I will be gaining way too much to my waistline.  So just like the Dragons in trying to limit themselves on our Ambrosia, I now have my 'own' ambrosia."

Fall Harvest Special...

11/22/2023

"We have to cook up something special for the Fall Harvest Festival dinner," Goodiegood told her sisters as they all gathered in their kitchen.  "Since this year's theme is pumpkin, I am sure that Parsley will bring her pumpkin spice muffins and Granny Flare will more than likely have her pumpkin chocolate chip cookies there as a dessert."  
"But what can we whip up that will be different?  We have to show everyone that we still have that special touch and are the best bakers in the realms!"  ​
Goodie2shues and Goodie4U just looked at each other and tried to think up something unique.  "I remember a few years ago when Granny came up with a gluten free pumpkin pie recipe that everyone tried just to see what it tasted like," said Goodie2shues.  "Hardly anyone ate what we brought that year," added Goodie4U remembering all of the leftovers they had from that Harvest Festival.  "We don't want that again," added Goodiegood.
As the three sisters stewed over what special recipe they would pull together, they sat and sipped their pumpkin spice tea.  Suddenly Goodiegood smiled.  The others could just picture her mind churning up something.  "I know what we can create and we won't even have to use the oven!" she snickered.  "No one else would ever think of it..." she continued almost to herself.
When Goodiegood did not finish her thought, the other sisters (at the same time) said, "Well, what is it?"  Goodiegood looked at both of them as if it was the first time she realized they were there with her.  Laughing she told them her idea.  Soon all of them were snickering as the cooking supplies started to fly off of the shelves and onto the mixing table.  
Picture
​"This will be fun and we didn't even have to ask the Magical Cooking Spoon for an idea," Goodie2shues thought as she started her part of the recipe.
The recipe:
  • 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
First she melted the butter and mixed it with the sugar and graham cracker crumbs in a large bowl.  Next she pressed the mix across the bottom of a cake pan and then put the pan into a cooler to chill it until it was cold.
As Goodie2shues was making the crust, Goodie4U was starting the filling.  In a large bowl she mixed:
  • 15 ounces of canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
After mixing the ingredients, she folded in 1 quart of softened vanilla ice cream.  Next she spooned everything into the chilled crust made by Goodie2shues and they put the treat into a freezer for about 30 minutes.  When this was done, it was Goodiegood who figured out that a double batch of the mixture would fill a 9 inch by 13 inch cake pan.  "If we are going to have enough for everyone, we will need to get some more supplies before the Festival," she told her sisters as they were looking over the finished treat after it had chilled sufficiently.  "I wonder how much ice cream we can get this time of year?"
"No one will think of this," said Goodie2shues as the others nodded their heads in agreement.  "But what do you call it?" she asked Goodiegood who had thought up the recipe.
Picture
"I was thinking about Cornelia when the recipe came to me," she told the others.  "I was thinking that it would be nice to have some of her honey to go with my pumpkin spice tea.  So I am going to call our new make - Bee's Pumpkin Ice Cream."

​After heating up some more tea and trying a slice of their new dessert, it was Goodie4U who reminded the others, "Don't forget to save some for Dree and Drat since they have to stay in the cave for now.  We don't want Dree to sniff it out and come at the wrong time." 
The others nodded their head in agreement as Goodiegood made a note on the shopping list to not forget the two in the cave.

Goodiegood's Apricot Ambrosia...

Nothing Goodiegood likes better than to try out a new recipe.  Especially when it is gluten free, dairy free, and in this case, no sugar added.  Very healthy indeed if one knows what's good for them.

Goodiegood also loves sharing these easy-peazy types of cookies as these don't require cooking either.  Just make them up and store them in the freezer.
The Ingredients:  Dried Apricots  -- Almonds -- Pineapple (in their own juice) and then she adds a little cinnamon and cardamom for the tropical zing to top them off.

​She starts with roughly 1 and 1/2 cups of dried apricots and 1/4 cup of pineapple (Drained - no juice).  The pineapple helps the apricots not be too dry - that is why the pineapple juice isn't necessary.  

Add a little cinnamon and/or cardamom to what ever level you like for taste.

Place everything into a blender or food processor. 
Picture

The almonds are for rolling the fruit puree mixture in.  Goodiegood simply placed the almonds in a plastic bag and used her rolling pin to crush up the almonds.

​Then poured into a bowl so it would be ready for the puree. 
Once the apricots and pineapple is blended - it is ready to roll.  Also she did a little batch with some carrot grated into this mixture.  Again, add the spices (or not) when you blend as it tastes great either way.
Picture

Take a small amount and drop into the bowl of crush almonds.  She likes to roll it around in the bowl as this also draws the almonds into the middle of the ball as well as on the outside.  Once rolled and coated, put into the freezer.  Let them freeze for a good hour and then simply enjoy this tropical bite for the summer fun.

Goodie4U Date Delights...

​Now Goodie4U likes to try out a new recipe too.  Because who knows better what is good for you than her?  Especially when this delight is gluten free, dairy free, and in this case, no sugar added.   


Goodie4U is also known for sharing these easy-peazy type of cookies as these don't require cooking either.  Just make them up and store them in the freezer. 
The Ingredients:  32 ounces of regular pitted dates  (NOT Medjool dates unless you want it really sweet)  -- coconut -- 9 ounces of pitted dried prunes.

​Goodie4U adds roughly a cup of dates (she made three mixtures out of the 32 ounce bag of dates) and about 1/4 cup of prunes.  (Again, she divided up the 9 ounce bag to make three batches of these delights.)  Nothing else was added.





​Next she places the dates and prunes mixture into blender or food processor.

​Once blended, she drops small amounts into a bowl of flaked coconut and roll them around.  By rolling it around in the bowl instead of your hands, one can get more coconut in the middle of the ball as well as the outside of it.  Once rolled, then place in freezer.  Freeze for at least an hour.
