Here we go yet again with Four Foods on Friday from Fun, Crafts and Recipes. Check Val out, lots of Halloween crafts and recipes for scary fun. Here are this week's questions!
#1. Name something you use cream cheese in/on.
A nice onion bagel, please. Yum. Or put dabs of cream cheese and then strawberry preserves on saltines (Ritz if you're splurging) for little cheesecake-y cracker snacks.
#2. Do you use yogurt in any recipes?
I have one from the Moosewood Restaurant that makes the most fantastic Blueberry Yogurt Pie. the crust is like a giant sugar cookie and there's tangy yogurt filling and fresh blueberries. I guess I need to drag it out and post it. It is divine!
Blueberry Yogurt Pie
CRUST
1/3 c Butter or margarine
1/4 c Sugar
1 Egg
1 c Unbleached white flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
FILLING
2 Eggs
3 tb Sugar
1 c Plain yogurt
3 tb Fresh lemon juice
1 ts Pure vanilla extract
2 c Blueberries, fresh or frozen
Butter and flour a 9 or 10 inch pie pan. Preheat the oven to 350. Using an electric mixer or by hand, cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg, and blend well. Combine the flour and baking powder and mix them into the wet ingredients to form a soft dough. With flour dusted fingers, pat the sticky dough into the bottom of the buttered and floured pie pan. Push the dough up to cover the sides of the pan. Refrigerate for at least as long as it takes to make the filling. Mix all the filling ingredients, except the blueberries, until smooth. Put the berries into the pie shell and gently pour in the filling so the berries are coated and evenly distributed. Bake for 50 - 60 minutes, until the crust is browned and the custard has set. Chill well before serving. From: Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant
#3. Macaroni salad. What do you like/put in yours?
I like an Italian-antipasto kind of pasta salad: onions, celery, roasted red bell peppers, plenty of olives, sometimes broccoli florets, romano cheese, pepperoni if I have it - tossed with basil, oregano, smashed garlic, olive oil and red wine vinegar.
#4. Share a recipe that you use sour cream in.
I do Easy Stroganoff, good with either beef or chicken -- brown meat with chopped onion and a bit of red wine, then take 3 tablespoons each of yellow mustard, ketchup and worcestershire sauce and blend them into the pan. If you like mushrooms, here is where you add about half a cup. Then take about a cup of sour cream (I've been even using the fat free kind lately...) and temper it with some of the hot sauce, then dump it in the pan and let it get heated thru. Serve over noodles with a sliced green onion garnish. Yum.
