Potato Cups

This is a fantastic recipe! It’s so simple to put together and then all you do is pop it into the oven and the potato cups are done. I waited until mine were crispy on the outside before I took then out of the oven and they came out perfect. I used a cheese grater to shred the potatoes and I also used it to for the onions. It was super easy and went quickly. I needed something last minute and this recipe came together perfectly. The potatoes have a great flavor and got rave reviews. Here is the original recipe, but I actually changed it up a lot from the original recipe. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups shredded potatoes (You could use frozen and thaw them before measuring)
  • 2 tablespoons onions, minced
  • 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • butter, to grease the muffin tins

Directions:

  1.  Preheat oven to 350° degrees F.
  2.  Mix together the potatoes, onion, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Generously butter 6 muffin tins, 2-1/2″ size.
  3.  Press the potato mixture evenly into the muffin cups. Bake 45 minutes or until the edges are well browned.
  4. Remove from the oven to a rack to cool slightly. Loosen and invert the potato cups onto a plate.

Pull-Apart Peazer Bread

This is a really great recipe. Not only is is dirt cheap to make, but it’s easy, requires very few ingredients, and tastes great. It also makes a great presentation. It’s my version of a monkey bread. The great part about this concept is you can do just about anything with the recipe. Keep the margarine and lose everything else, add a little cinnamon and sugar then you have a great monkey bread. You could also make a great garlic pull apart bread too. So simple yet so diverse! Love it!!



Ingredients:

  • 1 can Pillsbury Grand’s Biscuits
  • ½ stick margarine
  • 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tbsp. bacon bits (not Bacos)
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. 
  2. In a microwave safe bowl melt margarine. 
  3. To the melted margarine add garlic powder, bacon bits, and thinly sliced green onions and mix together. Set mixture aside. 
  4. Quarter each Pillsbury Grand’s Biscuit half the biscuit then half it again. 
  5. Take the quartered Pillsbury Grand’s Biscuits and add them to the margarine mixture and slowly mix the ingredients together. 
  6. Once everything is well combined spoon the biscuit mixture into a 3 quart baking dish. Pretty much any baking dish will work as long as the biscuits will stick together.  
  7. Cook on 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Test the middle biscuits to insure they are done before removing them completely from the oven.

Chicken Marsala Wraps

This is a really great recipe. There are so many things to like about it like the fact that it’s quick and easy and better yet it’s full of flavor. I love anything that you can roll into a tortilla and call it a meal.
Although my original recipe didn’t call for it I love topping my wrap with lettuce and tomatoes. Even a little avocado goes a long way too. It’s a great way to get some extra veggies in your diet. I am sure you could be creative and add some roasted veggies too. Wow wouldn’t that be good?
Ingredients:
  • 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon of margarine
  • 2 cups thinly sliced onions
  • 2 cups of pre-cooked chicken breast
  • 2 large cans of mushrooms
  • 1 cup of Marsala wine
  • 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese
  • 4-6 10 inch tortillas
  • Top with Lettuce and Tomatoes if desired
Directions:
1.     Add olive oil and margarine to a large skillet over a medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms and begin to cook for around 15 minutes or until you find the onions to be tender.
2.     Add your marsala wine and chicken and cook for 10 minutes until the wine becomes reduced. Add marsala chicken mixture to a warm tortilla and top with mozzarella cheese.

3.     Wrap up and serve. Top with Lettuce and Tomatoes if desired.
