Turkey Pita

                                                            It's what's for lunch-

The last few days this has taken away my hunger at lunch time. I know it looks like there is mostly banana pepper rings and not much else in there. That's because there are quite a few of them in there (I like them!) but there's also some yummy turkey breast and a thin slice of Farmer's cheese and some lettuce, a little bit of mayo, and lots of Spicy Southwest Sauce (I like THAT stuff TOO!!) The only thing that would have made it better is a juicy tomato from the garden. But as you know those are not yet available and the ones from the store are still in their "wooden" tasting state so I did without. My whole wheat pita made it a healthier lunch too. ☺

I hope you "enjoyed" my lunch with me and that you are all having a wonderful day! I noticed this morning that there are now 101 people that read about my foodie life. (I have Debbie and her link parties to thank for a lot of those). Hmmm, didn't really think I'd ever get that far. But life is full of nice surprises! and I am happy to have you all here and I hope that somehow you will feel blessed for your time. Theres a new cheesecake and a coffee cake brewing in my head but first I think I will enjoy an Easter visit to my family in Ohio. The kids and my husband have not been there since August which is a long time not to see the people you love and we are all looking forward to seeing everyone. Perhaps I can introduce you all to some of my family and the home that built me when I return. Until then, Love and Blessings~Martha

    Hi Martha...I think this pita looks awesome. The whole plate is colorful and so appetizing. I was wondering if you had a good baked sweet potato recipe you could share? I am making Easter dinner and my Dad has requested sweet potatoes! I have looked online but was hoping you had one that you could recommend. Thanks! ~Ann

    I hope you and your family have a Happy Easter!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
