Apple Cream Cheese Danish

It is hard to beat a good cheese danish. Unless it is an APPLE Cream Cheese Danish!

Yummy!!

And I highly suggest that you try it while it is still slightly warm. Be prepared, this dish is addictive. It is hard to stay away and it never lasts very long in my house. I made it once to take to a friends house after they had a death in the family and when I went in get it to deliver I found half of it gone. Darn kids!

One of the great things about this is that you can use different fruits or no fruit at all! It is very versatile.

You are going to LOVE  how easy it is. So let’s gather up the ingredients and get to cooking!

You will need 2 cans of crescent rolls, 2 packages of cream cheese, 2 apples, 2 eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a little milk.

sweet and spicy honey bacon chicken

OhMyStinkinHeck!!! This is about the best chicken I have ever had. It is sweet with a little spicy. Wrapped in bacon. Drizzled with honey and balsamic vinegar. I mean really, how much better can you get?

chicken rub chicken glaze ingredients

I used 3 very large chicken breast and cut them into pieces. A package of bacon, my special rub (with brown sugar added in), honey and balsamic vinegar.

bacon wrapped chicken

Cut your chicken into strips, roll in the rub mix and then wrap with a slice of bacon.

It’s a little messy, but oh so worth it!

honey drizzled bacon wrapped chicken

LIGHTLY drizzle with honey and LIGHTLY sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar.

It doesn’t take much, just a drizzle and a sprinkle.

Bake on 400 degrees for about 45 minutes.

Ohhh my goodness, take about delicious!

You can alter the spiciness by how much cayenne you put into the rub. And if you don’t have cayenne, just use chili powder.

Honey

Balsamic Vinegar

Cut each breast into strips, season all the chicken with the rub, then wrap a bacon slice around each piece and place into an oven proof dish….make sure you spray the dish with non-stick cooking spray.  Lightly drizzle with honey and then sprinkle with balsamic vinegar.

Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is nice and brown and crispy.

Crockpot Meatballs

What an ugly picture. I know my picture is horrible but it is what it is. I tried several times but just couldn’t get one that was any better…until I plated them. Ok, maybe that one just looks better because I was ready to eat! Wouldn’t it be great if we could use some of that scanner software to transport food back and forth? Because let me tell you, these are fabulous, regardless of how ugly my picture is! This is Tate’s most favorite dish. He asks for it often and can never seem to get enough of them. Don’t get me wrong, we all love them, they are just Tate’s most favorite dish ever.

They are easy to make too. Don’t let the ingredient list fool you, they aren’t complicated to make at all! I always double or triple the recipe because one batch is never enough. And when one batch isn’t enough, you know it’s a good recipe. Yummm, let’s go eat!

Ingredients

6   cloves chopped garlic
2   (8-ounce) cans pineapple, save the juice
1   diced onion
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 lb cooked meatballs
4 cups ketchup
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup white Vinegar
2 TBSP Black pepper
3 tablespoons pineapple juice

Directions

Throw everything  except for the meatballs in a slow-cooker, mix well  then add the meatballs and cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 8 hours.

Crockpot Meatballs and Rice

My family likes the meatballs served on a bed of rice. You could do noodles or just meatballs with sides and it is just as good.

finished plate

This is one of those dishes that you always hope for left-overs but there isn’t ever any left. It’s a HUGE hit here. I even doubled it last time I made it and there still wasn’t any left. A simple yet delicious meal that can stand on it’s own or be dressed up for company.

First, you have to make the sauce. The onion sauce is what makes this sandwich!

butter and onions

Melt a stick of butter and add your minced onions.

onion mixture

Add in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and poppy seeds.

onion mix

Saute until the onions are soft and translucent.

hawaiian sweet rolls

Slice the rolls length-wise and place bottom half in your pan.

onion spread

Top with 3/4 of the onion sauce.

ham and cheese

Add ham and cheese, then top of rolls, then smear the remaining onion sauce on top of the rolls, cover with foil and bake.

finished plate

Yummy!!

 

Ingredients:

1 pack of King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

1 onion, minced

1 stick of butter or margarine

2 TSP Worcestershire sauce

3 TBSP Dijon Mustard

3 TSP Poppy Seeds

Shaved Ham

Sliced Swiss Cheese

 

Directions:

Melt the butter in a skillet and add the onions, mustard, Worcestershire, and poppy seeds. Simmer for about 5 minutes till onions are soft and translucent.

Slice the rolls lengthwise (do not break apart) and place the bottom half into a 9 X 13 pan. Spread about 3/4 of the onion sauce onto the rolls, tops with the shaved ham, then the sliced cheese. Place the top of the rolls on and spread the remaining onion sauce over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes on 350 degrees.
