I’d like to Eat Spirals of Cheezy/Porky Goodness

So many of the food items that I want to cook on Pinterest are the exact opposite of healthy. A lot of them have butter and cheese as the main ingredients which make them perfect for these cooler months. When you are wearing layers of clothing, a few layers of cellulite aren’t even noticeable.

Are you looking for a dish to get that body into fleece lined jeans/wool coat season? Look no further than these Ham and Cheese Pretzel Bites or these Mediterranean Crescent Pinwheels . If you are not a fan of feta or basil and want to keep it simple, the first option from Joyzz.com is what you want. The second recipe, is a great step up with a bit of international kick and is from Pillsbury.

As you can see they take no time to make, and any leftovers you might have (yeah right) can be reheated in the oven/microwave.

Happy fat building! You are going to look great in that parka!

I Will Gladly Eat Veggies on Tuesday for a Hamburger on Monday

Due to my need to eat this wonderful Texas Burger with a side of sweet potato fries, and a tasty IPA at The Imperial on Monday…

Stop licking the screen

 

Mama had to make amends at dinner on Tuesday and prepare this groovy Blueberry and Corn salad. We had it with baked sweet potatoes, kale slaw, and fruit salad. Seeing as our Monday obviously was not meatless, I thought I’d celebrate vegetables on Tuesday.

I stumbled across the recipe at A Healthy Life for Me and thought it was so pretty. The kid loves cucumber, blueberries, and corn so how could it not be a winner. Also, it was perfect for my need to bring my body back from the brink of hypertension after that hot mess of a kick ass burger.

Everything in moderation. Even moderation.

Eat well!

I Would Punch You In the Face for One of These

cheesecrackers

I have had these at parties before.  I have had them made with Ritz crackers as well as saltines. The only problem I have with these crackers is that it is bad to punch people in the face in order to take their crackers.  I’m not violent (OK maybe a wee bit), I just really love salt and cheese. The recipe is so simple …

Saltines topped with cayenne pepper, and grated cheddar cheese. Then they are broiled to melt the cheese; then baked at the lowest temp the oven can get for about an hour to cook in the yumminess.

There have been a few posts of this concept on Pinterest where the cheese covered crackers are just nuked in the microwave. Ugh! Come on people. If you are gonna be that ratchet you may as well stick with Cheeze Whiz. At least that stuff has come kitsch factor.

I recommend you use an entire box of crackers when you make these so there will be no fights. Even if it is just you at home, go ahead and make that whole box. You don’t want to beat yourself up because you did not make enough.

Happy binge snacking!!!

I took this photograph on New Year’s Day at my friend Victor and Rachel’s brunch. The bowl to the left is filled with the yummiest schmear of all time. It is smoked trout spread.

I forgot to get the recipe on that day; but last weekend when I had them along with other friends over for brunch they came and brought some with them. That was Sunday and I have eaten far too much of it this week. Not to say I’m going to stop anytime soon – this stuff is good on bagels, crackers, carrot sticks, EVERYTHING. And I was smart enough to get the recipe this time.

When you have the love you have to share the love so here goes. From the house of Stopeck,
I bring you Smoked Trout Spread:

Get a big bowl and mix…….

1 pack of 8oz cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
2 big ass table spoons of prepared horseradish
A bit more than a little dill
1 package of smoked trout ( if you can get white fish even better)
and a bit of lemon juice
Mash it all up till smoothish( I like texture) then DONE!!!
