My husband and I both loved this soup, but I must admit it was a little on the spicy side even for me. The chili powder is super strong in this recipe! Next time I make this I would probably only add one tablespoon of chili powder. It can be a little chocking. If you don’t like spicy, then this is not a recipe for you unless you tweak it a bit. What I loved about this recipe is it’s filling, and it’s low in calories. 86 Calories per serving*

Ingredients:

Makes 4 1/2 cups Serves 6= ¾ cup each

1 (14.5-oz) can of fire-roasted tomatoes with medium chilies (I used mild Rotel)
1 (15-oz) can of chick peas (I used Great Northern less calories)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
2 tbsp. chili powder
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Directions:

Place tomatoes, chick peas and garlic with the broth and chili powder in large pot, and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Enjoy! (I added everything to the pot at one time and let it cook. Super simple, and fast!)

"Like" Honey Baked Ham

January 14, 2012 Nicole

This is now the third time I have made this ham and I must say it’s fantastic!! It’s super simple to make and I just love it. Buying a Honey Baked Ham is way out of our budget so the next best thing is to make it myself! This is a great recipe and if you check out the original source you will see a video on how to make it yourself and it’s super simple!

Ingredients:

1 Spiral Cut Ham
2 cups white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly ground if possible)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground clove
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 bone-in spiral sliced pre-cooked ham

Directions:

In a small mixing bowl combine sugar, ginger, clove, paprika, onion powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Mix the seasoned sugar mixture well. Place aluminum foil on a cookie sheet, cover the pan with the foil, if you fail to do this, you may have burnt sugar on your pan, and it will take a while to clean off.
Place ham, open meat side down onto the pan. Sprinkle with the seasoned sugar mixture press sugar onto the outside of the ham. You may not use all of the seasoned sugar mixture.
Gently heat the seasoned sugar mixture on the ham. Wave the flame quickly over the sugar, you want the sugar to brown, not burn. Staying in one area and moving out from there slowly will make this easier, as you will be heating the sugar in a continual direction. This whole process will take about 15 minutes, so be patient. You can sprinkle more sugar on top of the already browned parts of the ham and make the crust thicker.
You can either reheat the ham or serve it cold when you are ready.

Jalapeno Cream Cheese Pinwheel Poppers

January 13, 2012 Nicole

As you can see from my picture I didn’t do a very good job of rolling my pinwheels. I was running out of time. My guest were about to start arriving and needed to move quickly. These turned out fantastic, but they were super-hot. I think next time I would cut the amount of jalapenos in half. If you like spicy hot then you will love the recipe just the way it is!

Ingredients:

1 package Cream Cheese (8 Ounce Package)
4 ounces, weight Canned, Diced Jalapenos (2 ounces for mild)
1 Tablespoon Sugar
8 ounces, weight Tube Refrigerated Crescent Rolls

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 375 degrees F.

2. Add cream cheese into a bowl along with diced jalapenos, and sugar.

3. Take your fork and mash it all up really well. Be sure to incorporate all that sugar in really well and set side.

4. Open up your tube of crescent rolls and place on your cutting board.

5. Separate them into two rectangles. Now pinch together the perforations to create two nice rectangles.

6. With the back of your spoon, spread half of the cream cheese mixture onto one of the rectangles. Save the other half of the mixture for the other rectangle. (You will have two rectangles per tube of crescent rolls.)

7. Spread your half portion of cream cheese on one of your rectangles, start with the long end of the roll, and get to rolling. Once it’s all rolled up, you will need to cut your log into 16 pinwheels.

8. Get a sharp knife and cut into 16 pieces. Place each pinwheel on a baking sheet

9. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Hot Bacon Cheese Dip

January 11, 2012 Nicole

This is a really great dip and believe me it was a hit with my guest. My only complaint is that once it baked there was a huge pool of oil from the cheese floating on top.

Maybe if I had baked it in a bread bowl it might have helped to absorbed some of the oil up making a better presentation. This would even be a great baked potato topper or served on top on baked potato bites.
