Restaurant Style Corn Bread

I found this recipe somewhere online.  I have tried to google it and cannot find it again to give credit to the source.  I am posting it  and if anyone finds the source let me know so I can credit them.  


The second time I made this I forgot to add the Corn Meal.......my family will not let me live that down.  It was still good and tasted a bit like a sweet, frosting-less cake.


Enjoy!

Chicken Salad on Croissants

Cut the grapes in half, about 1 cup.


Thinly slice about 1/2 cup celery.


Chop up Cashews.  About 1/4 cup will do.


Start layering each item in a mixing bowl.  Add 1/4 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup mayonnaise.


Open 2 cans chicken and 2 cans turkey.  If you want to cook, cool, and shred your own, feel free.
These are small cans.


Add 1/2 teaspoon Salad Supreme 


Add the chicken and turkey.


Stir all ingredients to desired consistency.  Salt and pepper to taste.
Layer in the middle of Croissants and enjoy!


This recipe is simple and easy.  If you gather the right ingredients, and don't cut your fingers,  it comes together quickly.  Enjoy!

Wall hanging "Thompson"

For this project, I bought a frame for each letter.  I had to take the frames apart because I only needed the glass and outer frame.  I bought the frames at Hobby Lobby at 50% off.  


Somehow I had to secure the glass inside the frame so it wouldn't fall out when they were upright.  The glass doesn't stay put when you take out the cardboard backing.


So I got out the glue gun of course.  I put lots and lots of glue on the inside of the frame at the edge of the glass.  When I went to put together the whole thing, I found out there was too much glue and I could see it from the outside of the frame.  I had to go buy an exacto knife and carefully cut off the excess glue.  I hoped I would not cut my fingers but I am a danger to myself and can not be trusted.


I lined up the frames planning how they would look.  



The planning didn't do a thing because the end product turned out to be this.

I needed the corner hooks off all the frames backs which I had removed so I got out the needle nose pliers and pulled the corner hooks off of each one.  I proceeded to hot glue these to the corners of my frames.  Burned my fingers a few times.  I cut the ribbon and drug it through the corner hooks behind the top of the frame and tied them on the rod. 


I may change the ribbon and the heights of each letter ... when my back stops hurting.  
I really love it!

Tortilla Quiche

I am a foodie blogger.......BA HA HA, did I just say that out loud?  My hubby thinks it's funny when I pull out  my camera and snap pictures of bacon cooking and I just blow it off as perfectly normal.  But I just had to do it when I was making this tortilla quiche.  I knew it would be great!  Not really, but it was tasty and crunchy and I liked it.  

First, I sprayed the muffin tin with a non-stick spray (I wish I had sprayed it better because some of the quiche stuck to the bottom).  
Turn your oven on, 350 degrees will do to preheat. 

Pour a couple tablespoons olive oil into a frying pan and dump in the mushrooms, yum.
Sprinkle the mushrooms with course seasalt, mix them around and let them cook.

Crack several eggs (I used 6) and add a few tablespoons of cream (milk will do).  Whip them up.

I sliced a few green onions for each muffin tin.

Cooked up a bit of bacon.  
Just dumped it in, yep and stirred it around, and it cooked.
A friend of mine adds a bit of flour to her breakfast casserole and it seems to hold the whole thing together so add a couple teaspoons and whip it in.

Cut flour shells in fourths and place them over boiling water to soften.

I use a splatter screen over an inch or two of boiling water.
They mold very well when placed straight into the muffin tins.

Pour a bit of the mixture over each of the flour shell quarters.

Top with  bits of bacon, mushrooms, green onion and what ever else sounds good and looks pretty!

Pop them in the oven and cook until egg mixture does not look wet when checked.  This was about 20 minutes for me.


Serve right away!  

These were really good.  They won't take as long to make next time because I won't have a camera in one hand, LOL!
