Sweet and Creamy Raspberry Dressing
April 24, 2022 by B. Eppig No Comments

 

Sweet and Creamy Raspberry Dressing

Finally, a way to make a dent in the bundles of fruit preserves you were gifted for Christmas. The recipe for dressing below is mild on sweetness - pairs nicely with a crispy leaf lettuce. I especially love the sweetness to pair with a hard boiled egg in the salad. For even bitterer salads, such as with a spinach base, you can increase the amount of honey or fruit preserve to balance the bitterness. Dresses one large salad.

Grilled Cheese

Grilled Cheese

My personal favorite grilled cheese - the colby-jack and muenster melt to create that perfectly gooey center. The grain mustard, basil, and rosemary add a flair of flavor. Simple. Fast. Delicious. Easy to make multiple if eating with family and friends. Everyone can adjust and substitute ingredients to his/her/their own taste (sorry for the multiple "to taste" in this recipe, but it really is a choose your own adventure). If you really want to take your grilled cheese/panini game to the next level, I strongly suggest a cast iron griddle vs a fry pan. Recipe is written for 1 sandwich.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Servings: 1
Course: Main Course
Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices bread of choice
  • 1 slice colby-jack cheese can substitute for cheese of choice
  • 1 slice muenster cheese can substitute for cheese of choice
  • whole grain mustard to taste
  • fresh basil to taste
  • mayo to taste and extra for grilling
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • dried rosemary to taste
  • 1/2 Tbsp butter for grilling

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Add mayo and mustard to taste on one slice of bread (inside of sandwich).
  2. Add basil to taste. I like to cover the entire slice.
  3. Layer both colby jack and muenster cheese on top of basil.
  4. Add second slice of bread. Spread a light layer of mayo on the topmost outside layer of the bread. Add salt, pepper, and dried rosemary, to taste, to the topmost outside layer as well. That mayo is going to give you the perfect golden browning.
  5. Add butter to skillet and bring to medium/low heat.
  6. Once butter has melted, place the sandwich with the outside mayo/seasoning layer face down on the griddle.
  7. As it cooks, add a light layer of mayo to the outside of the now topmost layer of bread. Once the bottom is a golden brown, use your spatula to flip. Pending your stovetop levels this can happen fast, 2-3 minutes!
  8. Set stovetop heat to low and let final side cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes.
  9. Remove from stovetop. Serve immediately.

Pancakes

From scratch fluffy pancakes (with seven ingredients you probably already have in your pantry) on your plate in 20 minutes
Print Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Resting Time 5 minutes
Servings: 6 medium pancakes
Course: Breakfast, Mains
Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1Β½ cup flour
  • 2Β½ Tbsp. sugar
  • 1Β½ tsp. baking powder
  • ΒΌ tsp. salt
  • 1Β½ cups milk I prefer whole milk for this recipe
  • 3 Tbsp. butter (melted) + additional for griddle and serving
  • 2 large eggs
  • maple syrup for serving

Equipment

  • 2 mixing bowls (medium and a small) I have a large liquid measuring cup and use that for all the wet ingredients
  • liquid measuring cups
  • dry measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • mixing spoon
  • griddle or frying pan
  • whisk
  • spatula

Method
 

  1. Melt 3 Tablespoons butter - remove from heat once melted.
  2. In medium mixing bowl add all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt) and mix.
  3. In a separate bowl, add milk and eggs. whisk constantly while adding the butter (this is to keep the warm butter from clumping in the cold milk).
  4. Add wet ingredients (milk, eggs, and butter) to the dry ingredient bowl. You want your batter to be thick and lumpy - mix until dry ingredients are incorporated but lumps still remain. LET BATTER REST 5 MINUTES (this is how you get that fluff).
  5. While batter it resting, heat your griddle (or frying pan).
  6. After batter has rested, grease griddle with butter (this should melt very quickly) and scoop batter onto griddle in ~1/2 cup amounts.
  7. Allow pancakes to cook until small air bubbles start to appear on the surface. Flip (should be light brown on the cooked side).
  8. Cook ~ 1 more minute or until browned. These pancakes are thick and you should be able to see that the middle edges are also cooked.
  9. Serve topped with butter and maple syrup.
