My favorite recipes

Hello All! I have started a "blogging group" with my friends where we write on topics once a week. This weeks topic is our favorite recipes!


*Fettuccine Alfredo*
I found this recipe while browsing online for new dinner ideas. It is the BEST alfredo I have ever had, and supposedly it is based on Olive Garden's recipe. This is one of mine and Danny's favorite dinners:

-1 lb fettuccine pasta
-2/3 cup butter
-1 cup heavy cream
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
-1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-Salt and pepper to taste

Cook pasta as directed. In a large skillet melt butter into cream over low heat. Add garlic, salt & pepper. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted. Add pasta to sauce, serve. YUM!!


*Slow Cooker Pot Roast*
This recipe I found while browsing too, and it is YUMMY! One of our favs in the Jeanes house.

-2 cans cream of mushroom soup
-1 package onion soup mix
-1 tblspn Worcestershire sauce
-1 1/4 cup beef broth
-2 lb chuck roast
-carrots, mushrooms, etc optional

Mix all ingredients, put in a crockpot. High 2-3 hours, or low 6-7 hours...I would recommend low, all meats cook better on low :)


*Best Potatoes EVER* (yes, this is the name!)
This is a recipe from my momma and it has become a staple at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I could eat this everyday!!

-1 1/2 tspn onion powder
-1/2 cup green onions
-bacon bits

Skin potatoes (optional). Boil until tender. Beat soften cream cheese and sour cream in a bowl. Add hot potatoes and beat until smooth, adding small amounts of milk as needed. Add butter, chives, salt, pepper, and onion powder and beat until well mixed. Add garlic, green onions, and mix. Put into crockpot and dot with butter. Cook on low for 2-3 hours. Top with bacon bits.


*Pumpkin Roll* (or bars)
This recipe came from our dear friend James (Jamesy) and he taught me how to do the roll. I'll share the instructions for the roll, but I have found making bars is a LOT easier....although it is not as pretty as the roll :)

Roll ingredients:
-3 eggs
-1 cup sugar
-3/4 cup flour
-1/2 tspn baking powder
-1/2 tspn baking soda
-1/2 tspn ground cinnamon
-1/2 tspn ground cloves
-1/4 tspn salt

Filling ingredients:
-8 oz cream cheese, softened
-3 tblspn butter
-1 cup powdered sugar
-1 tspn vanilla extract

Roll instructions:
Preheat oven to 375. Line a 15X10 cookie sheet with non-stick release foil. Lay out and sprinkle a clean cotton kitchen towel lightly with powdered sugar. Mix wet ingredients. Then mix dry ingredients and add to pumpkin mixture. Pour batter evenly onto pan making sure to spread to all sides and corners. Bake 13-15 minutes. Immediately loosen and turn cake onto prepared towel and peel off paper. Roll up cake and towel together, starting at narrow end. Let sit on wire rack for half hour.

Beat filling ingredients; unroll cake flat and spread evenly almost to edges. Re-roll cake. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill one hour. When ready to serve, slice into approx 3/4 inch slices and lay out nicely onto platter and sprinkle powdered sugar over.

Bars instructions:
Preheat oven to 375. Line a cookie sheet with non-stick release foil. Mix wet ingredients. Mix Dry ingredients and add to pumpkin mixture. Pour batter evenly onto pan. Bake 13-15 minutes. Then lift foil with cake and set all on wire rack to cool. Then cut into brownie sized bars and lay out on platter. Beat filling ingredients and put into a ziplock bag. Cut a corner off of the ziplock bag and draw a zigzag design (or whatever design) on each bar. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.


ENJOY!!! I'm trying a few new recipes next week like, Hummus, Tomato & Mozzarella sandwiches, homemade strawberry yogurt, chicken stroganoff, and a chili recipe from my friend Kara. I'm excited and will let you know how it goes!
