Turkey, Brie and Apple Grilled Sandwich

We arrived home from camping with crates of apples after a fun weekend of Apple Picking. I was searching for all the apple recipes I had. I pulled this one out and made the family a nice lunch! It was delicious!

Turkey, Brie and Apple Grilled Sandwich

adapted from blogger recipe She Wears Many Hats on Tasty Kitchen

4 slices Sandwich Bread; we used fresh wheat (and would use different next time)

butter (to butter the bread)

2 tsp Mayonnaise

1 Slice Brie Cheese (rind Removed)

1 whole Apple Of Choice (make It A Crispy And Tasty Choice!)

2 slices Turkey Breast, Or More To Taste

2 pinches Salt And Pepper, to taste

We made these sandwiches just like a grill cheese. Butter the outside of bread or use mayo. Cut the brie into thin slices. Place one layer of brie slices on one piece of the bread and the turkey on the other side. Top the layer of brie with a layer of apple slices. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

Place the sandwich in the pan, wait til the side is done and flip. Again, you’ll want the cheese to melt and sandwich to warm but be careful to watch for burning.

Enjoy!

Spiced Monkey Bread

We LOVE LOVE Monkey Bread around our house and we have a YUMMY recipe, I will have to share soon. But we tried this new recipe and it is quite good too! A little different taste but just as YUMMY!

Spiced Monkey Bread

from The Chatty Mom

3 -4 rolls of Pillsbury Biscuits Original

1/2 cup Granulated Sugar

1 tsp. Cinnamon, ground

1/2 tsp. Nutmeg, ground

1/4 tsp. Cloves, ground

1 cup Light Brown Sugar

3/4 cup Butter, melted

1 cup Raisins or Dried Cranberries (optional)

1 cup Walnuts or Pecans, chopped (optional)  

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare bunt pan with shortening or cooking spray.   In a plastic baggie combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Take biscuits and cut each in half.  Place biscuits, several at a time, into the baggie and coat. Start by placing sugared biscuits into the baking pan in a single layer. Sprinkle raisins and nuts between and on top of biscuits. Repeat process with remaining biscuits.   In a medium mixing bowl combine brown sugar and left over sugar-spice mixture. Melt butter, pour butter into the bowl of sugar. Mix until well incorporated. Pour butter & sugar mixture over the top of the biscuits.  Place in oven and bake for 28-32 minutes. When done baking, the top layer should be browned and have a crispy topping. Remove from oven and let monkey bread cool in the baking pan for 10 minutes. Invert the pan onto a large plate or serving dish and allow to cool an additional 10 minutes. Serve by pulling apart individual biscuits.

MOM'S Potatoes

Cheesy, creamy, delicious potatoes with little bit of crunch. My mom has made this recipe for years (I believe we found it on a box or on the back of a bag somewhere along the line, it was actually typed in my very first cookbook from years ago), it's nothing new and fancy, but boy is it delicious. I think some of our family might just show up at our parties just to eat these YUMMY potatoes. Any BBQ, get-together, or family function these potatoes are the number one requested item. So, here is the delicious potato recipe for you to try and now that this recipe is published here on my blog, my mother will not have to type and re-type over and over again every time someone requests this AWESOME recipe.

This is a page from my Second Cookbook; A Collection of Family Recipes that I made into a
scrapbook/cookbook using Storybook Creator Plus 3.0

Monster Cookies (NO Peanut Butter) and "COOKIE Scavenger Hunt"

Today is my BLOG'S ONE MONTH BIRTHDAY.... I am so glad I started this adventure and I can't wait to see where it brings me. I am having so much fun and meeting great people along the way. Onto BLOGGING now! ENJOY!

We are finally at the last recipe from my Twin Daughters 17th Birthday Party that we threw last month! It's taken me weeks to report to all of you the yummy recipes we had.

BBQ Pizza

Pan Fried Onion Dip

Cookies in a Jar (we used as party favors)

and of course 2 Delicious Cakes

Funfetti and Chocolate Banana Cake

The day party and evening party was full of family, friends and good times. And until next years party.... here is the last recipe! We did an awesome TWIST on this recipe and we had a scavenger hunt. Yes, a scavenger cookie hunt. It was incredible and all of the teenage girls had a blast running from neighbor to neighbor trying to find all the ingredients to make "Monster Cookies".  First we had to find the PERFECT Monster Cookie Recipe (and it was hard trying to find Monster Cookies with NO PEANUT BUTTER, one of the guests is allergic). But we found the perfect recipe over at Allrecipes.

The Scavenger Hunt part of this recipe was very interesting.

We divided up the girls into two teams and gave them the list of ingredients (they were only allowed to get 2 items from each house). That part was easy. The measuring and mixing of the ingredients was the hard part. One teams cookies (came out very salty, then they remembered that the nice neighbor lady just gave them a small baggie filled of salt and they just threw it into the mix without measuring it first), the other teams came out PERFECT (this is their photo of the cookies above). I had given them large plastic baggies and measuring cups (some used these and some did not). All of the houses the girls went to were very helpful and thought this was such a CUTE idea. The great thing about MONSTER COOKIES is that you can collect a variety of different ingredient fillers (Raisins, Marshmallows, M&M's , Chocolate Chips, different kinds of nuts and so much more) and the cookies still come out yummy!

After collecting all the ingredients (I had extra ingredients at home just in case they didn't find everything), all the girls came back and I had the kitchen table all set up for them to mix together their cookies and bake them. It was a little bit of a race, but it was so close, the only prize was the bragging rights as to who's cookie came out better (which was obvious because of the extra salt in the one batch).

So, lets just say this was so much fun! and what a great twist on a Scavenger Hunt. (Click on the images below to print the scavenger hunt (and/or recipe) to have your very own "COOKIE SCAVENGER HUNT"
