Vintage Fluff Salad and Variations TNT
Basic Fluff Salad 3 oz box jello mix, any flavor 8 oz cool whip or any whipped topping 15 or 20 oz can crushed pineapple drained very well 16 oz container cottage cheese This is a great vintage recipe that has bee delighting families for years! It is very simple and easy (quick also). I also found this is a good way to use up old jello that might not set up as well as it should. I make this all the time and it is always a good dessert. My latest was with raspberry jello and we liked it a lot! Mix all ingredients in large bowl until well blended. Refrigerate. I usually re-use both the cottage cheese container and cool whip container, and between both, the salad usually fits for storage. Sample additions are things like fruit (bananas, sliced maraschino cherries, orange sections, blueberries, etc), coconut or other nuts, mini marshmallows, crushed cookies, etc. The variations for this salad are endless!! Use different jello flavors, try different additions. Or try one of the many other variations. Here are just a few examples of variations: Mandarin Orange Fluff After spending 2 weeks perfecting 5 different fluff salad recipes, I consider myself a fluff salad expert!

Crockpot BBQ Pulled Chicken
Crockpot BBQ Pulled Chicken It's made with tender flavorful chicken thighs, a simple spice rub, and robust store-bought sauces to save time. This chicken makes for the ultimate BBQ chicken sandwiches and it's incredibly easy! 开云体育s: 8 Prep15minutes minutes Cook4hours hours 30minutes minutes Ready in: 4hours hours 45minutes minutes Ingredients 3 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 1/2 tsp chili powder 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional) 1/2 tsp salt, then more to taste 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup grated yellow onion 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce (recommend Bullseye original), divided 2 Tbsp steak sauce (recommend A1) 8 hamburger buns Instructions Place chicken in 5 - 7 quart slow cooker (I use this one). In a small mixing bowl whisk together chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Pour spice mixture over chicken and add grated onion. Toss well to evenly coat chicken with spices. Evenly pour 3/4 cup BBQ sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook on low heat 4 - 6 hours until chicken shreds easily and registers 165 degrees in center. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, reserve liquid from the slow cooker. Skim fat from the liquid and discard the fat. Shred chicken with two forks (I do it a little larger than I want it to end up because as you toss again in the next step it shreds up a bit on it's own). Return chicken to slow cooker. Heat remaining 3/4 cup BBQ sauce with 2 Tbsp steak sauce in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave until warm (about 1 - 2 minutes). Pour 3/4 cup of the reserved liquid and the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken then toss to evenly coat. If you feel it needs a little more moisture you can add another splash of the reserved liquid (or more BBQ sauce), also season to taste with a little more salt if needed. Serve the pulled bbq chicken in hamburger buns (I also like to add coleslaw, with a little blue cheese mixed in sometimes too). Source: Cooking Classy ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Notes *Dark balsamic vinegar may also be used if you can't find white balsamic vinegar. **You could also use 1/2 cup store-bought refrigerated pesto in place of fresh made.

Recipe Review - TNT - Broccoli and Apple Salad (Taste of Home)
I made this a couple days ago and it is excellent. It even gets better with refrigerator storage, the next day or two. This is an extremely flexible recipe and you can add or swap ingredients to taste. I used pre cooked bacon, with a couple min in the microwave to crisp up... simple! I also left out the apples but added extra raisins as well as slivered pepperoni, slivered carrots, and small cubes of ham and velvetta cheese. I also made dressing from mayonnaise, vinegar, and a little splenda instead of the yogurt. The red onion adds great flavor. Raisins and broccoli taste wonderful together. Use your imagination as to what else you might add. This is a healthy side dish and goes great with burgers or other hot dinner sandwiches. it also works well as a side dish for lunch. This would be a great potluck offering and perfect for summer cookouts. Also a great idea for Memorial Day or Forth of July celebrations --Ginny May, 2025 P.S. This made a huge batch. I might add the apples to some of the leftovers to change it up a bit. Broccoli and Apple Salad (Taste of Home) Serves: 6 Made By: Eugene Williams "What a joy great flavors" Even my picky daughter loves this one! My yogurt dressing on crunchy veggie salad makes a cool and creamy side dish. —Lynn Cluff, Littlefield, Arizona Recipe Type: Lunch, Side Dishes Total Time: 15 min Ingredients: 3 cups small fresh broccoli florets 3 medium apples, chopped 3 tablespoons each golden raisins, dried cranberries and chopped dates 1 tablespoon chopped red onions 1/2 cup reduced-fat plain yogurt 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled Directions: In a large bowl, combine broccoli, apples, dried fruit and onion. Add yogurt; toss to coat. Sprinkle with bacon. Refrigerate until serving. Source: tasteofhome.com Ginny Butterfield Cranberry Twp, Pa

Crusty Bread
Crusty Bread added by Dana Beavers You will love this bread. It is the easiest bread you will ever make. I have made a ton of bread over the years and have failed at so many. This one I have never failed, and it is so flexible you can create just about anything. If you love making bread for your family or love giving it as a gift, promise me you will give this a try. It is worth the wait. Here are some of the breads I have made: rosemary sharp cheddar, rosemary lemon Gruyere, jalapeno pepper jack, cranberries almonds orange zest, pepper jack, lemon thyme asiago, and marinated artichokes with sliced raw garlic. Cook time: 45 Min Prep time: 19 Hr 45 Min Yield: 1 loavesIngredients 3 c unbleached all-purpose flour 1 3/4 tsp Kosher salt 1/2 tsp instant yeast 1 Tbsp raw or granulated sugar 1 1/2 c cold waterDirections 1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. 2. Add water and mix until a shaggy mixture forms. 3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12 – 18 hours. Can let sit up to 24 hours. DO NOT REFRIGERATE. After 12-18 hours the dough is pretty sticky, but that's ok it's supposed to be. 4. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. As soon as it has heated to 450 degrees, place the cast iron pot with the lid in the oven and preheat the pot for 30 minutes. Make sure the cast iron pot has a metal cap. A plastic cap will not work. 5. While the pot and oven are preheating, dump the dough out onto a semi-heavily floured surface and shape it into a ball. It will not be a perfect ball because this dough is sticky and spreads. Just make a nice little ball with not a lot of handling. 6. After the dough is shaped, cover it with the plastic wrap from the bowl. Let sit for 30 minutes to rest. 7. Remove the pot from the oven. Farefully pick up the ball of dough and drop it into the pot. You may want to flour your hands because the dough is going to stick like crazy. Remember the pan is now 450 degrees hot! Put the lid on the pot and return it to the oven for 30 minutes. 8. Remove the lid from the pot and bake for another 15 minutes. 9. Remove from the oven and carefully remove bread from the pot. Place the bread on a cooling rack until completely cooled. 10. Key tips that helped me make a great crusty bread. Yeast – make sure and use Instant Yeast or better known as Bread Machine Yeast. This yeast does not have to be activated before adding it to your dry ingredients. You can use Active Dry Yeast, but make sure and activate it with a little warm water before adding it to your dry ingredients. Parchment Paper – this dough is super-duper sticky. Parchment paper will help you work with the sticky dough after 18 hours. Place the dough on floured parchment paper, make the ball of dough, and drop it into the Dutch oven. To remove the dough from the Dutch oven, just pick up the sides of the parchment paper. Do not work the dough too much. Make sure and let the dough rest for 30 minutes after you have shaped it into the ball and before you put it in the heated Dutch Oven. DO NOT grease your pan. Whether you use the parchment paper or not. The parchment paper is the easiest way I have found to move the dough around. Also, you do not have to use an enamel-covered cast iron Dutch oven like I have, you just need something that can take the heat. The following have been used: clay pots with lids, pizza stone with a bowl to cover the bread, insert from a Crock Pot, Pyrex baking dish with a lid, stainless steel pot with a lid, baking dish covered with aluminum foil, old cast iron Dutch oven.

Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. If the bread starts to brown too much, lightly cover it with foil.

The Best Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe
Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe My all-time favorite homemade pizza dough recipe, this recipe has been tried and tested week after week, making the best homemade pizza. My family now likes homemade pizza better than take-out! CourseMain Dish CuisineItalian Prep Time20minutes minutes Cook Time10minutes minutes Rising Time1hour hour Total Time1hour hour 30minutes minutes 开云体育s3 1-lb balls of dough, 24 slices Calories138kcal AuthorDeborah Harroun Ingredients 2 1/2 cups warm water 1/4 cup sugar 3 teaspoons instant yeast 1/4 cup vegetable oil (can use olive oil or another oil, such as avocado) 6 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons salt Instructions In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the water, sugar and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes until frothy. Add in the vegetable oil. 2 1/2 cups warm water,1/4 cup sugar,3 teaspoons instant yeast,1/4 cup vegetable oil In a bowl, combine the flour and the salt. Add the flour to the yeast mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well between additions. Continue adding the flour until the dough can be pulled away from the sides of the bowl with a spatula, but the dough will still be quite sticky. You may need to add in a little bit more or less flour, but the key is to remember that the dough will still be sticky and will stick to your fingers when you try to pull it apart. 6 cups all-purpose flour,2 teaspoons salt Grease a large bowl, then scrape the dough into the bowl. Turn the dough to coat it in oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel and a let the dough rise at room temperature until doubled, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface. Pull the dough around to the bottom, stretching it to create a smooth ball. Cut the dough into 3 equal portions. Each ball will be approximately 1 pound of dough. Roll out the dough to use in your favorite pizza recipe, or refrigerate until needed. (I have refrigerated it for several hours, up to overnight, but the dough will continue to rise, even in the refrigerator, so I try to use it before 24 hours. To bake, preheat a pizza stone in the oven as hot as you can go for at least 30 minutes. (I usually go between 475?F and 500?F.) Prepare your pizza with your desired toppings and bake until the crust is golden, 8-10 minutes. Notes *This makes 3 1-lb balls of dough. It's a lot, but I usually make 3 pizzas (we'll eat 2, and save the third for leftovers). Most recipes call for a 1 lb ball of dough, but in all honesty, we usually like our pizza a little more on the thin side. So I have halved this recipe and made 3 pizzas, or I will make 4 pizzas from this recipe. It is easy to halve, so feel free to do so. Also, not everyone's mixer has the capacity to make this much dough. Use common sense. :) *I usually make my dough a couple of hours before I need it and just refrigerate the dough until needed. It's a little easier to roll out when it's not super cold, but straight from the fridge still works. I recommend making it within 24 hours, though, as the dough will continue to rise, even in the refrigerator. *When it comes to baking your pizza, I always recommend using a pizza stone. They are pretty inexpensive and make a huge difference. I bought mine at Bed Bath and Beyond for $20 years ago and have probably used it over 100 times and it is still going strong. I always preheat the oven for at least 30 minutes with the stone inside on a high temp. I also use parchment paper when baking my pizza because 1) my husband doesn't care for the cornmeal on the bottom of the pizza, 2) I'm terrible and transferring the pizza from the pizza peel to the stone. Parchment paper works well for me. dough recipe adapted from Budget Gourmet Mom Nutrition information provided as an estimate only. Various brands and products can change the counts.

Beat until smooth, then carefully pour the mixture over the cream cheese layer. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Cover the edges of the pie with foil or with a pie shield and bake an additional 25 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the flour, the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and the butter. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or with a fork until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the pie. Return the pie to the oven and bake another 10-15 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle of the pie comes out clean. Cool the pie for 1-2 hours, then transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely. Notes Total time does not include cooling time. I like to place the pie on a baking sheet. Not only does this make it so I don't have to worry about the pie making a mess if it cooks over, but it's easier to transfer into and out of the oven. It also makes it easier to not have to worry about spilling as much when you add the streusel topping.

Mix: Add in melted butter and pulse a few times to combine. Transfer to clean bowl and stir in melted chocolate. Press: Transfer cookie crumb mixture to pie dish and press into a uniformly thick layer. Use flat bottomed glass to help press. Place in freezer to set. Ice Cream Layer: Spread: Set ice cream at room temperature long enough that it is soft but still frozen. Spread into uniform layer over crust. Freeze: Chill pie crust with ice cream in freezer until frozen through. Chocolate Custard filling: Scald: In a heavy bottom sauce pot add 3/4 cups milk, cream, sugar, and salt. Whisk together and place over medium heat. Continuously stir while mixture is brought to a gentle simmer. Once small bubbles appear around the edges, remove from heat. Whisk: In a large bowl, whisk yolks together. In a separate bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup milk with cornstarch and stir until cornstarch dissolves. Whisk this mixture into the yolks until light and fluffy. Temper the eggs: Add a ladle of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while continually whisking. Repeat with additional ladle of warm cream. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot with the cream and stir well to combine. Heat: Place pot on medium heat and whisk continuously until it comes to a gentle boil. Reduce to medium-low and cook for another 5-8 minutes while continuously whisking. Remove from heat. Combine: While custard mixture is still hot, stir in chocolate, vanilla, and espresso powder. Continue stirring until melted and fully combined. Allow to cool until mixture is no longer warm to the touch. Pour cooled filling into your chilled crust over ice cream layer. Smooth top with a spatula and place in freezer to chill. Garnish: Whipped cream: Prepare the whipped cream by mixing heavy cream and powdered sugar in a stand mixer on high speed with the whisk attachment until thick soft peaks form. Toppings: Spoon whipping cream over pie and garnish with mini chocolate chips or chocolate curls. Serve immediately. Notes Recipe makes one pie. Nutritional based on pie getting sliced into 12 servings. Chocolate layers: You can make this mud pie exactly as the recipe was written and it will turn out. Alternatively, you can skip the chocolate custard layer and double the ice cream, or you can skip the ice cream and double the chocolate custard layer. It just depends on the complexity of the chocolate flavors you desire! Ice cream flavors: you can really use any kind of ice cream you prefer. If you want to stick to it being a Mud Pie or Frozen Chocolate Pie, choose an ice cream with a chocolate base. If you want to use something like mint chip, chocolate chip, strawberry, pistachio - it's all fair game. Just make sure

Apple Brown Betty
Apple Brown Betty One of my favorite fall desserts is my version of Apple Brown Betty which consists of thinly sliced fresh apples with a no oat sweet and buttery topping. Prep Time20minutes mins Cook Time1hour hr Total Time1hour hr 20minutes mins Course: Dessert Cuisine: American 开云体育s: 6 servings Author: Krissy Allori Equipment 9x9 baking dish Mixing Bowls Ingredients 4-6 large apples peeled, core removed, thinly sliced (I used honeycrisp) 1 lemon 3/4 cup all purpose flour 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1/2 cup cold butter 1 cube Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F. Add apple slices from 4-6 large apples to a 9x9 baking dish. Cut 1 lemon in half and squeeze juice over apples. Toss apples to evenly coat. In medium sized bowl, combine 3/4 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Add 1/2 cup cold butter and use a pastry blender to work the butter into the dry ingredients, cutting it into small pieces. You want the mixture to be crumbly with little to no dry ingredients left that haven't touched the butter. Sprinkle all of the topping over the apples evenly. Cover with aluminum foil and cook in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and allow to continue cooking until the topping is crisp, about 10-20 additional minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Notes Apples: you can use any variety that you prefer in this recipe. My preference is for Honeycrisp. Alternatively, you can use a variety of apples. Fresh lemon juice is recommended but you can use bottled. If you don't have a pastry blender, simply cut the cold butter into very small cubes and use a fork to blend. Make ahead directions: You can prepare this recipe up to a day advance and keep refrigerated until you are ready to bake. Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Will keep for several days.Nutrition Calories: 197kcal | Carbohydrates: 48g | Protein: 1g | Sodium: 6mg | Potassium: 65mg | Sugar: 34g | Vitamin C: 9.6mg | Calcium: 25mg | Iron: 1mg Source: Self Proclaimed Foodie ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Stack Get all the flavors you love with traditional enchiladas without having to do all the work by making this easy Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Stack. Prep Time10minutes mins Cook Time2hours hrs Total Time2hours hrs 10minutes mins Course: Main Course Cuisine: Mexican 开云体育s: 6 servings Author: Krissy Allori Equipment Mixing Bowls Slow Cooker Ingredients 2 cups enchilada sauce equivalent to one 15-ounce can 15 ounces black beans one 15 ounce can, drained 1 cup frozen corn kernels can use fresh or drained canned corn as well 8 ounces cooked chicken approximately 2 small breasts or thighs, shredded six 8-inch corn-flour tortillas 12 ounces Mexican blend cheese combination of cheddar, jack, etc., shredded Instructions In a medium sized bowl, combine about 1 cup of the 2 cups enchilada sauce (reserve the other half for later), 15 ounces black beans, 1 cup frozen corn kernels, and 8 ounces cooked chicken . Stir to combine. Spread half of the remaining enchilada sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the first of six 8-inch corn-flour tortillas on top. To layer the casserole, you will take a spoonful of the chicken mixture and spread it out across the tortilla an then top with a handful of cheese. Continue layering with a tortilla, filling, then a handful of the 12 ounces Mexican blend cheese. Continue to repeat the process and portion the ingredients such that the top of the casserole has your last tortilla, the remaining enchilada sauce, and a big handful of cheese. Cover and cook on high 1-2 hours or on low 4-6 hours. Notes Cooking tips: This recipe can be made extremely easy by using canned enchilada sauce and pre-cooked chicken. Or, you can go the extra mile and make your own homemade red enchilada sauce and use some meat from a slow cooker chicken. My preference is to always use a block of cheese and grate it yourself, however for this recipe pre-shredded cheese works perfectly fine. You can use corn or flour tortillas for this recipe, but my preference is actually to use wheat flour and corn blend. They taste a lot like corn tortillas but aren't as dry. If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, I highly recommend the Cuban Style Black Beans. They have a lot more flavor than plain black beans because of the added onions and peppers. This recipe tastes great, if not better, the next day because it really gives all the flavors time to mix. Serve with olives, avocado, sour cream, cilantro, etc.Nutrition Calories: 469kcal | Carbohydrates: 40g | Protein: 34g | Fat: 18g | Saturated Fat: 10g | Cholesterol: 85mg | Sodium: 1179mg | Potassium: 482mg | Fiber: 9g | Sugar: 7g | Vitamin A: 920IU | Vitamin C: 2.1mg | Calcium: 420mg | Iron: 3.2mg Source: Self Proclaimed Foodie ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO
