White Chili

3 cans Great Northern Beans (rinsed and drained)

1 jar Alfredo Sauce (I added two since that's what Corey's mom does)

2 cups Chicken Broth

1-2 cans 4 oz. Chopped Green Chillies (I just did one, but would love it with two also I'm sure)

1 1/2 cups Corn

1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

1 cup Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese (I just used the fiesta shredded cheese pack that has monterey jack and few others)

1 cup Sour Cream

1 small Yellow Pepper chopped (I left this out just because they were so dang expensive lol)

1 small onion Chopped

3 Garlic Cloves minced

1 tablespoon Cumin

1-1 1/2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper

Just throw everything in a crockpot and stir together. Cook on low for 3-4 hours. It says it yields 12 servings (1 cup each).

Poppyseed Bread

Poppyseed Bread from the not so Desperate Housewives

Ingredients

Bread:
• 3 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/8 cups cooking oil
• 2 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 1/2 T. poppy seeds
• 1 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 tsp butter flavoring extract (or 1 1/2 tsp melted butter can be substituted)
Glaze:
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp butter flavor extract (or 1 1/2 tsp melted butter can be substituted)

Instructions

1. For the bread: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all of the ingredients together. Pour into greased and floured baking pans. Makes 6 small loaves or 2 large loaves. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes for large pans and less for smaller pans. If you have a dark metal pan make sure to bake it for less time at a lower temperature. I overdid this batch a little bit because I used a dark pan. I like the disposable foil bread pans the best.
2. For the Glaze: Pour all ingredients into a small saucepan and let cook on stove on medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove bread from pans and pour glaze over warm bread. Use knife or spatula to bring the glaze that has run off up and over the warm bread until it stays on.

AMAZING CUPCAKES

 EASIEST NO-FAIL CUPCAKE RECIPE

• 1 cake mix (I use yellow cake mix or white cake mix)
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp almond flavoring

YES, THAT’S IT, no water or oil or other liquids!  All you do is mix the ingredients together and fill cupcake liners halfway.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 14 minutes, remove and let cool. 

I modified this buttercream recipe from the America’s Test Kitchen Cookbook.  I love this recipe because it’s buttery, and have a very well-rounded taste.  Here it is:

ALMOND BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon almond flavoring
• pinch of salt
• 2 1/2 sticks salted butter, softened
• 2 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

Beat this mixture for 5-7 minutes until light and fluffy.  ENJOY and try not to eat the whole bowl.

PIPING BAGS & TIPS:

When you are done with the light and fluffy buttercream mixture, add the frosting to a piping bag.  My favorite one is from Orson Gygi and it’s the 14″ bag.  With that I use one of two tips.  My very favorite tips for this are the ATECO brand #808 the simple circle one or #826 which is the star looking tip.  Depending on my mood, I use either of these.
