Orange peels filled with jello

January 30, 2012 by

We found this idea on my SIL’s pinterest page and had to try it! Jack and I had so much fun making these plus its a great way to use up oranges that are about to go bad. We had a whole box to use up!

Oranges

You will need:

  • oranges
  • jello mix
  • knox gelatin

First cut the oranges in half and scrape out the insides. We hand juiced them all for fresh squeezed orange juice.

Then prepare your jello mix as indicated on the package but also add 1 package of Knox gelatin to each pack of jello mix. Put your orange peel halves in muffin tins so they will evenly set. Pour jello in orange peels and let set in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Slice and serve!

Slow cooker pesto lasagna

January 26, 2012 by

 

Lasagna

 

You will need:

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef with Onion Onion until beef is no longer pink. Add Dried Tomato & Garlic Pesto Mix, sauce, water and paste and stir to blend. In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, parmesan and mozzarella. Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray. ( you can use a crock pot if that’s all you have but it is easier to use a rectangle slow cooker for lasagna .) Spoon a layer of meat mixture onto bottom of slow cooker. Add a double layer of uncooked lasagna noodles- break the noodles to fit slow cooker if needed. Top noodles with a portion of the cheese mixture, then top with meat mixture. Repeat the layering of noodles, cheese and meat sauce until all ingredients are used. Cook on low for 6 hours. Check halfway through cooking- if lasagna is too dry add 1/2 cup of water.

 

Best and easiest lasagna I have EVER made! Our whole family loved this!

January 23, 2012 by

Stroganoff 

You will need:

  • 1 Tbsp. TS Garlic Garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. TS Onion Onion
  • 1 1/2 lbs. beef stew meat, cubed
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 14.5 oz can of beef broth ( I used two beef bouillon cubes mixed with water)
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch
  • 2 Tbsp. cold water
  • 8 oz onion & chive cream cheese
  • Wide egg noodles prepared

Combine first five ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Combine cornstarch with cold water; stir until smooth. Whisk cornstarch mixture into slow cooker; stir until thickened. Add cream cheese just before serving; stir until well blended. Serve over hot egg noodles.

Another super easy slow cooker recipe that was delicious! Usually beef stroganoff is made with sour cream but the onion & chive cream cheese gave it a whole new taste! yum!
