  • Honeycrisp & Broccoli Salad

    Honeycrisp & Broccoli Salad

    Honeycrisp & Broccoli Salad

    I prefer to keep a variety of salad recipes on hand for side dishes. We’ve been making this broccoli salad recipe for years, but I wanted to give it a little twist! Yogurt is used to make a sweet, creamy dressing in place of mayo. I added raisins, sunflower seeds, and Honeycrisp apples for some added crunch because I’ve been wanting them. Working on this recipe with the Michigan Apple Committee has been such an honor. I’m sure you’ll adore this recipe as well. The fact that this salad keeps for days is my favorite feature. Indeed, days! Our latest batch was not at all soggy throughout the four days I consumed it.

    Ingredients

    Salad

    1 Honeycrisp apple seeded and chopped into bite sized pieces

    1 large bunch of broccoli chopped into florets (or 12 ounce prepared bag)

    ½ cup chopped red onion

    ½ cup raisins

    ½ cup sunflower seeds

    4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled

    Dressing

    ¾ cup plain yogurt

    2 Tablespoons milk

    2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

    ½ cup sugar or ¼ cup honey

    Salt & Pepper to taste

    Instructions

    Combine the dressing ingredients in a mason jar. Mix well and store in the fridge until needed. Combine all salad ingredients (excluding bacon) in a large bowl. Combine. After adding the dressing to the salad gradually, let it sit for thirty to sixty minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with bacon.

  • Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings: A Flavor-Packed Appetizer

    Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings: A Flavor-Packed Appetizer

    Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings: A Flavor-Packed Appetizer

    Ingredients

    • For the Chicken Wings:
    • 2 lbs chicken wings
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp salt
    • ½ tsp black pepper

    For the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

    • ¼ cup unsalted butter
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • ½ cup heavy cream
    • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

    Detailed Instructions Step 1:

    Get the chicken wings ready. If you would rather fry the wings, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Using paper towels, pat dry the chicken wings to remove any remaining moisture, which will aid in their crispy texture. Toss the wings in a big basin with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil until well coated. Cook the chicken wings in step two to make baked wings. Arrange the spiced wings on a baking sheet covered with a wire rack. Bake the wings for 40 to 45 minutes, rotating them halfway through, or until they are crispy and golden brown.

    Step 2. Regarding Fried Wings:

    Wings should be fried in batches for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crispy and golden. Use paper towels to drain any extra oil.

    Step 3:

    Prepare the Parmesan Cream Sauce. Make the garlic Parmesan sauce while the wings are cooking. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Don’t allow the minced garlic to brown when you sauté it for one to two minutes, only until it becomes aromatic.

    Step 4:

    After adding the heavy cream, boil the mixture. When the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning and stir continuously. To taste, add salt and pepper for seasoning. Increase the amount of cream or add a drop of milk if the sauce seems too thick.

    Step 5: Serve and Garnish

    Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.

  • Savory Cabbage Pancakes – A Tasty Twist on a Classic

    Savory Cabbage Pancakes – A Tasty Twist on a Classic

    Savory Cabbage Pancakes – A Tasty Twist on a Classic

    Ingredients:

    • For the Pancakes:
    • 3 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
    • 1 medium carrot, grated
    • 3 green onions, chopped
    • 2 large eggs
    • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free alternative)
    • ½ cup water
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

    Optional Toppings:

    • Sesame seeds
    • Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley)
    • Soy sauce or dipping sauce of choice
    • A dollop of sour cream or yogurt
    • Step-by-Step Method:

    Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the cabbage, grate the carrot, and chop the green onions. Set aside in a large mixing bowl. These vegetables will be the base of your savory pancakes, providing crunch and flavor.

    Step 2: Prepare the Mixture Add the flour, eggs, water, soy sauce, onion and garlic powders, salt, and pepper to the same bowl that contains the veggies. Mixing the mixture thoroughly requires stirring. While still being easily stirred, the batter should be thick enough to coat the vegetables. A bit extra water can be added if it’s too thick. Step 3: Heat the Oil In a large skillet over medium heat, heat two to three tablespoons of vegetable oil. The oil should be heated enough to sizzle when batter is poured, but not hot enough to scorch the pancakes.

    Cook the Pancakes in Step Four Using the back of a spoon, gently press down on approximately ¼ cup of the batter in the heated skillet to create a pancake shape. There are two to three pancakes you can cook at once, depending on the size of your skillet. Cook the pancakes for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the outsides are crispy and golden brown. Step 5: Empty and Present After they are done, move the pancakes to a dish covered with paper towels to absorb extra oil. Proceed with the leftover batter, adjusting the amount of oil in the pan as necessary.

    Step 6: Present and Garnish Add sesame seeds, chopped fresh herbs, or a dollop of yogurt or sour cream on top of the pancakes. On the side, you may also serve them with your preferred dipping sauce or soy sauce.
