58. Pineapple ribbons
So my wonderful husband left today for a work trip and I was not in the mood to cook. I called one of my best girls and we took the kids to sushi. However I needed to bake and here I am at 8:21 baking cookies. I am still on the hunt for a cookie that my kids like. Who would have guessed how hard that would be??? Elise will eat fish but a cookie is a no go!
I like these cookies. I dont know how much my kids will like them.
*1 cup butter softened
*3 onces cream cheese softened
*3/4 cup sugar
*1 tsp baking powder
*1 egg
*1/4 cup pineapple preserves
*3 1/2 cup flour
Preheat over to 375
Mix together the butter and cream cheese on a medium speed
Add sugar and baking powder until combined and scrap the side of the bowl
Beat in egg and pineapple
Stir in flour and mix
Roll the dough out and cut into shapes
Cook for 7 minutes or until edges are firm
I did not roll the dough and cut shapes. I just did not have the time or care to do that tonight. I used my scoop and then flatten them on the cookie sheet and they were good.
Let cool and the mix the Powdered Sugar icing....
*2 cups powdered sugar
*2 TBSP milk
mix together and add some milk if needed.

56. Campbell's® Slow Cooker Savory Pot Roast
I love my husband. Anyone who knows me, knows I love my husband....Also anyone who knows my husband knows what a wonderful man he is....
With this being said he was an hour late from work. He did not grace the door until 8:07. When I asked him how he would rate tonights dinner he said to me "A solid 7." I had to bite my tongue to not say Maybe it would have been an 9 if it had been served at 7. Oh well!!!!
He tells me that he always has to save room for the 10s.
*1 (10.75 ounce) can Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
*1 Dry Onion Soup and Recipe Mix
*6 small red potatoes, halved
*6 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
*1 (3 pound) boneless beef bottom round roast or chuck pot roast
Stir the soup, onion soup mix, potatoes and carrots in a 4 1/2-quart slow cooker.
Add the beef and turn to coat.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours* or until the beef is fork-tender.
It was really easy and good!

55. Bread Machine Challah
I have dinner in the crock pot for tonight so I will post that one tonight after we try it. Dave is going out of town for half the week so get ready for me to break out the kids recipe cookbook. I am not going to cook for just me. So we will see what happens.
*3/4 cup milk
*2 eggs
*3 tablespoons margarine
*3 cups bread flour
*1/4 cup white sugar
*1 1/2 teaspoons salt
*1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Add ingredients to the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer.
Select Basic Bread and Light Crust settings.
this will make a 1 1/2 loaf size.
Last night we had the left over pork for dinner and what I did was heat it in the oven and melted a little piece of brie cheese on top and it was really good. I dont normally like reheated pork but the cheese on to helped!

54. Easy and Elegant Pork Tenderloin
We had some dog show friends over for dinner and this was something that was easy and would feed a lot of people. Dave said that it was a solid 7 (Because we have to leave room for something more stellar he said) Plus Elise ate everything and that is saying something!
*2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
*1/2 cup olive oil
*2 pounds pork tenderloin
Preheat oven to 425
Mix bread crumbs and olive oil in bowl to reach consistency that would be moist enough to stick to the meat when pressed.
Place pork on a shallow cooking sheet.
Press the crumb mixture onto all sides of the meat until there is no pink showing, usually 1/4 inch thick.
Bake for at least 35 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) or until there is no pink when the pork is cut.
Let the pork rest for 10 minutes, then cut into 1/2 inch slices.

52. Beer-braised sausages with war potato salad
This was really yummy and so easy to make. Eli ate about half the sausage and then complained that he did not like it. They had to be threaten to take a bite of the potato. So not a hit with the under 5 crowd!
*2 TBSP olive oil
*1 1/2 lb sweet sausage
*1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
*12 onces pale ale beer
*1 1/2 lb small red potatoes, halved
*coarse salt and pepper
*1 TBSP red-wine vinegar
*2 TBSP parsley
In a Large dutch oven heat 1 TBSP oil over medium high
Add sausages and cook until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes
Add onion and cook until softened, about 7 minutes
Add beer, potatoes and 2 cups of waters, season with salt and pepper (Make sure that the potatoes are under the water)
Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes
Transfer the sausages to a plate and keep warm
In a large bowl stir together 1 TBSP oil, vinegar and parsley
With a slotted spoon take the potatoes and mix with the mixture
Return the pot to a high heat and boil until liquid reduces to 1 cup, about 12 minutes
Add the sausages back to the pot and cook for 2 minutes
Serve warm.
Now after the dutch oven issue at Target I am going to use the heck out of pot! I really do like it and it is handy to have. Also I have decided that I love red-wine vinegar. It's the best. Also since I did not have ale on hand I used Michelob Ulta!!
Tomorrow we are having a small dinner party with 6-8 people, so I am off to plan the menu. Wish me luck!!

51. Soft Mahi Mahi Tacos with Ginger-Lime Dressing
*1 tablespoon olive oil
*salt and pepper to taste
*6 (3 ounce) fillets mahi mahi fillets
*1/3 cup sour cream
*1 tablespoon lime juice
*1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
*1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
*1 dash cayenne pepper
*1 large mango - peeled, seeded and diced
*1 cup diced fresh pineapple
*1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced
*1 jalapeno pepper, minced
*6 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
*1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
I did not use cilantro because I hate it. I know hate is a strong word but I HATE it.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the mahi-mahi with salt and pepper.
Cook the fillets in the hot oil until the fish is golden brown on each side, and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
Gently combine the mango, pineapple, avocado, and jalapeno in a bowl.
To assemble, place a cooked mahi-mahi fillet into the center of a warmed tortilla. Place a scoop of the mango salsa onto the fish, then drizzle with the sour cream sauce, and finish with a generous pinch of chopped cilantro.
this was ok. A tad bit bland!
