YUM!

Squishy food rules.

I like toffee and cookies, but generally, the squishier the sustenance, the more I like it.

So I thought I'd share some recipes from the "Squishy Eats" Cookbook.

Chunky Junk

Gather together:

1 cup chopped cauliflower
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 cup chopped onions
2 cups cooked rice
1/2 cup grated cheddar
1/2 cup sour cream

(wine: bordeaux)

Steam the vegetables. Stir them up with the rice, sour cream and cheese. Put it in a baking pan you have already greased up. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
DELICIOUS! serve on its own or with a slice of your favorite meat.

Breakfast Combo That Looks Like Barf But Is Actually Good

gather together:

1/2 cup greek style yogurt
1 cup cooked oatmeal, hot OR cold
1/4 cup dried cherries
sugar if you want

(wine: none, unless you're eating this for dinner. In that case: bordeaux)

Stir up ingredients and enjoy.


Blobby Nuggets

gather:

1 bag raw pizza dough from Trader Joe's
grated cheese
pesto
assorted meats and vegetables that you like

(wine: bordeaux)

Separate dough into four balls. Roll them flat. Spread with pesto. Put some cheese and whatever else on top. Fold the dough over and pinch the moon shaped pie shut. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 -20 minutes. Don't forget to grease the pan.



TASTY smoothie

You need:
1 cup ice ice cubes
1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 cup frozen fruit (strawberries, mm)
1/2 cup milk
2 tsb. vanilla protein powder

(wine: none, probably)

put ice, fruit and milk in blender and blend. Put in the yogurt and protein powder. More blending. Pour into glass.

Bouncy Cake

gather:

Angela's pudding cake (sorry, you'll have to get that recipe from Jelly)
Vanilla Frosting. Whipped in a can.

(wine: pinot noir)

Cut hunks of cake. Spread generously with frosting.

Fundae

gather:

vanilla ice cream
whipped vanilla frosting
Hot fudge sauce (if you can get some of Dick's favorite, that's the best)
whipped cream
Heath bar, crushed into bits

(wine: merlot)

Scoop ice cream into a bowl. Top with hot fudge. Then frosting, then whipped cream. Sprinkle the heath bar on top.

Fruit Squishy

gather:

2 bags frozen blackberries (or fresh peaches or apples)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup butter (use more if you want)
1/2 tsp salt

(wine: merlot)

Simmer blackberries and granulated sugar together until sugar is dissolved. Take off the heat, and put in a greased square baking pan. Mix the rest of the ingredients together and put on top of berries. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes until the top is kind of crispy. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whip cream. YUM. In a pinch, you can use canned vanilla frosting.


The World's BEST Mashed Potatoes

gather:

3 of those really big potatoes
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup butter + two tbsp.
2 tsp dried parsley

(wine: bordeaux)

Cut up potatoes and boil them. Mash them up with the cream cheese, the sour cream and the 1/3 cup butter. Put it all in a greased baking pan. Cut up the rest of the butter into tidbits and scatter it across the top. Then spread the parsley over that. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Take off foil and cook for about 10 more minutes. Get a big bowl and eat some with more butter. May also be served with a slice of meat.

Hope you like them!!

Until later, love and kisses, xoxoxoxo
