Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Cobb Rollups



Cobb Rollups

Mr. Food
The combo of the turkey, bacon and crunchy broccoli slaw make this rollup a step above the rest. It’s got the taste of a cobb salad but it’s much more fun to eat!

Serves: 6
Ingredients
* 1 package (6) sundried tomato basil wraps
* 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
* 3 cups broccoli slaw
* 12 deli slices (1 ounce each) smoked turkey breast
* 18 thin slices fully cooked bacon (I used turkey bacon)


Instructions
1. Place the wraps on a cutting board. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over
each wrap. Sprinkle 1/2 cup broccoli slaw in the center of each wrap; place 2 slices of smoked turkey over the slaw; top each with 3 slices of bacon.


2. Fold in the sides of each wrap, covering half of the bacon. From the end closest to you, roll up each wrap firmly, rolling away from you. Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately, or roll each in wax paper and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cherry Christmas Coffee Bread

Cherry Christmas Coffee Bread

It's an edible Christmas tree--the baubles are green and red candied cherries.

3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1/4 cup margarine or butter, cut up
3-1/2 cups bread flour
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon active dry yeast or bread machine yeast
1 cup dried tart cherries
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon bread flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Milk
Halved candied red and green cherries

1. Add the first 9 ingredients to the bread machine pan according to the manufacturer's directions. Select the dough cycle. When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine. Punch down. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, for filling, in a bowl combine the 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon bread flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. With a pastry blender, cut in 3 tablespoons margarine or butter until crumbly. Set aside.

3. Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 half into a 12x6-inch rectangle. Sprinkle the rectangle with one-half of the filling, then fold in half to make a 12x3-inch rectangle. Cut into twelve 3x1-inch strips. Twist the strips. Arrange twisted strips on a greased large baking sheet to form a tree shape. Use 10 strips for the lower branches, placing cut ends toward the center, and one strip for the base. Cut remaining strip in half; use for top branches.

4. Repeat with remaining dough, forming another tree shape on a second baking sheet. Cover; let rise in a warm place about 30 minutes or until nearly double.

5. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets; cool on wire racks.

6. In a small bowl stir together powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough milk (3 to 4 teaspoons) to make a glaze of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over breads. Garnish with cherries. Makes 16 servings.

Crockpot Mexican Mix

This is cooking in the crockpot as I am typing! It smells so good and I had to have a little sample....it is going to be great! I am using multi-gran sandwich thins instead of taco shells or pita bread, but will be good whatever you put it on! I think I will put a little tomato and maybe just a tiny dollop of sour cream too!!

Enjoy!
