Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour an 11×13 inch cake pan. Stir together the white cake mix, flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until well mixed. Pour in the water, sour cream, vegetable oil, almond and vanilla extracts, and egg whites, and beat with an electric mix on low until all the ingredients are mixed and moistened but some lumps still remain, 4 minutes. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, and bake in the preheated oven until the top is a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool before frosting
DIRECTIONS Heat oven to 425. Melt butter in small bowl. Stir garlic, parsley and garlic powder into butter. Pour butter mixture into pan. Cut biscuits into 4 sections each. Place in pan. Top with both cheeses. Bake for 10-15 minutes until biscuits are cooked through. Invert upside down onto a plate. (I take a knife around the edges of pan to release stuck on cheese before inverting to plate.). Serve with warm pizza sauce.
2 cups shredded monterey cheddar cheese tony cachere’s cajun seasoning (or a Cajun Seasoning of your choice)
Directions
Heat Foreman Grill (you may pan-fry also). Sprinkle Cajun Seasoning generously on both sides of chicken. Wrap a slice of bacon around each chicken tender. Grill on the Foreman for 4 minutes (or pan fry 4 minutes each side). In a separate pan, saute your onion and bell pepper in the 2 T butter. Place chicken on top of sauteed vegetables. Cover and cook on med/lo for 20 minutes. Uncover (careful to watch for steam) and smother with the cheese. Cover and cook 10 additional minutes. Sprinkle with green onions
• 1 ½ pounds very thinly sliced beef sirloin (I get mine from Trader Joe’s), or ribeye • Salt • Cracked black pepper • ¼ teaspoon onion powder • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided use • Olive oil • 2 onions, quartered and thinly sliced • 10 ounces white mushrooms, sliced • ½ teaspoon dried thyme • 2 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press • 4 cups beef stock, hot • 4 sourdough bread bowls, centers hollowed out and reserved for dipping • 4 slices provolone cheese
*Philly Cheese Steaks often have sauteed bell peppers in ’em too—feel free to slice one up and add it in with the onions and mushrooms, if you so choose.
Preparation:
-Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to a large bowl, and season with a couple of pinches of salt and cracked black pepper, plus the onion powder, and toss to coat; sprinkle over 2 tablespoons of the flour, and again, toss to coat.
-Place a non-stick pot over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 3-4 tablespoons of oil; once hot, add about half of the sirloin in, and allow it to sear for about a minute or two, then toss/stir, and allow it to sear/brown on the other sides for another 1-2 minutes, and remove onto a plate to hold (the meat may still be a little pink inside); repeat with the remaining half of the sirloin, and set aside.
-Next, add a little more oil to the pot if needed, and add in the sliced onions, along with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper; allow the onions to caramelize for roughly 6 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning them, until golden-brown and softened; then, add in the mushrooms, and allow them to continue sauteing with the onions for another 6 minutes or so, stirring frequently.
-Add in the dried thyme and the garlic, and stir to incorporate.
-Once the garlic becomes aromatic, sprinkle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour (the tablespoons can be a bit “heaping”) over the onion/mushroom mixture, and stir well to combine and blend; next, slowly add in the hot beef stock, stirring all the while to avoid any little flour “lumps” from forming.
-Reduce the heat to medium-low, and allow the stew to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, uncovered, just to “tighten” it up a bit, and to allow the flavors to marry; after 10 minutes, turn off the heat, and add the seared sirloin back in, along with any accumulated juices, and stir to combine; check to see if you need any additional salt/pepper.
-To serve, ladle some stew into your hollowed out sourdough bowls, top with a slice of provolone, and place the bread bowls onto a foil-lined baking sheet and under the broiler for just a couple of moments to melt the cheese and make it gooey.
-Serve with some of the hollowed out, left-over sourdough bread on the side, for dipping
Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix butter, 1 1/2 cups sugar and eggs thoroughly in a large bowl. Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Blend dry ingredients into butter mixture. Chill dough, and chill an ungreased cookie sheet for about 10-15 minutes in the fridge. Meanwhile, mix 3 tablespoons sugar, and 3 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl. Scoop 1 inch globs of dough into the sugar/ cinnamon mixture. Coat by gently rolling balls of dough in the sugar mixture.
