Honey Garlic Chicken with Mushrooms

 



Ingredients


IngredientsCrust/Topping:26 sheets of graham crackers, crushed (approximately 4 cups)¾ cup (1½ sticks / 170 g)


melted butterFilling:½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) butter, at room temperature8 ounces cream cheeseFromage râpé


at room temperature2 cups (250 g) confectioners’ sugar2 cans (20 ounces each) crushed pineapple, drained16 ounces whipped topping (homemade or store-bought)


Instructions


Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, prepare the graham cracker crust. In a large bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until well combined.


Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating an even layer. 

Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until it’s golden and set. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.


Next, prepare the filling by combining butter and cream cheese in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat them together until smooth and creamy.


Gradually add in the confectioners’ sugar and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy and well combined. 

Once the filling is smooth, add the drained crushed pineapple, stirring until evenly distributed.


Gently fold in the whipped topping, ensuring everything is well incorporated. The filling should be light and airy, with a nice balance of sweetness and tang.


Spread the filling evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Once the filling is spread out, refrigerate the dessert for at least 3 hours, or until it is firm and set.

Before serving, garnish with additional whipped topping or even some extra crushed graham crackers if desired. Slice into squares, and serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.

French Onion Meatloaf with Swiss Cheese

 



Ingredient  

Crab meat Main component Lump or claw meat provides the best flavor

Mayonnaise Adds moisture Helps keep cakes soft

Egg Binding agent Holds the mixture together

Breadcrumbs or crushed crackers Texture & structure Adjust quantity as needed

Old Bay seasoning Signature seasoning Substitute another seafood blend if preferred

Dijon mustard Mild sharpness Adds subtle tang

Worcestershire sauce Depth of flavor Boosts savory notes

Lemon juice Freshness Brightens the taste

Fresh parsley (optional) Color & freshness Use lightly

Instructions 

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice until well blended.

Stir in the seasoning and breadcrumbs.

Carefully fold in the crab meat, leaving large pieces intact. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab

Shape the mixture into patties about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.

Arrange on a parchment-lined tray.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook the crab cakes until golden brown on each side.

Baking (lighter approach):


Preheat the oven and place cakes on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake until warmed through and lightly browned.

For extra color, briefly broil at the end.

The ideal crab cake is moist and tender with visible chunks of crab.

Too much filler results in a dry, dense texture.

Too little binder can cause the cakes to fall apart.

Remove from heat once golden and heated through to prevent overcooking.

Classic choices: Tartar sauce or remoulade

Lighter options: Lemon aioli or a squeeze of fresh lemon

Side dishes: Coleslaw, seasoned fries, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad

Add hot sauce or diced jalapeño for heat

Mix in a small amount of butter for extra richness

Use panko for a lighter bite or crushed crackers for a traditional texture

Apple Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Mug Cake

 



Ingredients


1 bag frozen meatballs

18 oz BBQ sauce

1 cup Coca Cola

(That’s it — only 3 ingredients!)


Preparation

Step 1: Add Meatballs to the Crockpot


Place the frozen meatballs directly into the crockpot. No need to thaw them first. Spread them evenly so they cook uniformly.


Step 2: Pour in the Sauces


Pour the BBQ sauce evenly over the meatballs. Then slowly add the Coca Cola, making sure it distributes throughout the crockpot.

Step 3: Stir to Coat


Gently stir everything together until all the meatballs are well coated in the sauce mixture. This ensures even flavor as they cook.


Step 4: Cook Low and Slow


Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or on HIGH for 2–3 hours, stirring once or twice if possible. The sauce will thicken and cling to the meatballs as it cooks.

Step 5: Serve Warm


Once fully heated and glazed, switch the crockpot to WARM and serve directly from the slow cooker.
