Cucumber subs

If you love cucumbers, you will love this. I saw this on a friends page and I had to repost.


Cucumber subs with turkey, green onions and Laughing Cow cheese! Yum!! All the goodness without all that bread!





Cucumber subs:

medium to large cucumbers
turkey, ham, or other deli meat slices or shaved
bacon (optional)
green onions (optional)
tomatoes (optional)
any sandwich fillers (optional)
Laughing Cow cheese or mayo or cream cheese or any other condiment

Cut the cucumber length-wise, from tip to tip. Scoop out the inside of the cucumber to make room for your sandwich fillers. Add meat, veggies, and other sandwich makings to the inside of the cucumber. Place one half of the cucumber on the other half. Enjoy!!

Peach Upside Down Cake

Peach Upside Down Cake

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 medium ripe Georgia peaches, peeled, pitted & sliced
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup light sour cream, set out for 30 minutes
2/3 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt, divided set out for 30 minutes
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups (150 grams) unbleached, all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (90 grams) whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Spray a 13″ x 9″ baking dish with baking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together peach slices, brown sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Spread peach mixture onto the bottom of the baking dish.
  5. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together butter, 2 tbsp. Greek yogurt and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  7. Turn mixer to low and add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
  8. Add sour cream, remaining yogurt and vanilla.  Beat until combined.
  9. Slowly add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  10. Dollop the batter over the peaches and carefully even out with a spatula.  Try not to stir up the peaches.
  11. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  12. Run a knife around the outside of the cake to loosen.
  13. Place a large plate or cutting board on top of the baking dish.  Make sure the plate is large enough to hold the cake.  Turn the cake upside down.  If the cake does not automatically fall onto the plate, lift one corner and very gently push with a knife.  My cake released as soon as I lifted up a corner of the cake.

Baked S'mores

Baked S'mores


1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (approximately 5 full graham crackers)
1 tsp baking powder
2 or 3 super-sized (5 oz.) chocolate bars (e.g. Hershey’s)
1 1/2 cups marshmallow crème/fluff (or mini marshmallows if you must!)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease bottom of pan.

In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla.


In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt.

Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined.


Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. Two 5 oz. Hershey’s bars should fit perfectly [for 8 by 8] side by side, but break the chocolate (if necessary) to get it to fit in a single layer. [use 3 Hershey's for 12 by 8 pan]

Spread marshmallow fluff evenly over the chocolate layer.

Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the creme. This is most easily done by putting the second half of the dough in a gallon size freezer bag. Use your palms or rolling pin to flatten it out, and then use scissors to cut down both long sides of the bag, so it will open up book-style. Open it up carefully, and the dough will stick on one side of the bag. Then place the bag, dough side down, on the other three layers. From there peel the bag up and carefully spread the dough where it is uneven.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely or almost completely for the melty factor before cutting into bars.

Enjoy!

Make Your Own Ice Cream -- Without a Machine!

Make Your Own Ice Cream -- Without a Machine!



 
Strawberry Ice Cream - Making your own ice cream is easier than you think -- especially when it doesn't require a fancy machine. This delectable four-ingredient treat whips up in 10 minutes flat and freezes into scoopable sweetness in an hour. A serving of labor-intensive, custard-based strawberry ice cream has 282 calories, 12 grams of saturated fat, and 134 times the cholesterol of our luscious dessert, which has a mere 70 calories per serving and less than 1/2 gram of saturated fat. So go ahead: Spoon up some more.

Serves: 7
Yields: 7 (1/2 cup) servings
Total Time: 1 hr 10 min
Prep Time: 10 min




Ingredients:
- 1 pound(s) frozen strawberries
- 1 cup(s) 2% plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup(s) sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- Strawberries, for garnish


Directions:
1. In food processor with knife blade attached, pulse 1 cup strawberries until finely chopped. Transfer chopped berries to large metal bowl.

2. In food processor, puree yogurt, sugar, vanilla, and remaining strawberries until smooth. Transfer to bowl with strawberries; stir until well combined.

3. Cover and freeze about 1 hour, until firm but not hard. Garnish with strawberries.

Tips:
You can substitute plain low-fat yogurt for the Greek yogurt. When testing this recipe, we found both worked well, but we preferred Greek yogurt's creamier texture. We also tested this in three different freezers and found that the freezing time varied depending on freezer make and model. Begin checking your ice cream at 1 hour, and continue freezing if you prefer a firmer texture.

CUCUMBER SUBS

CUCUMBER SUBS!!!
 

Such a CUKE idea!! Lol!! totally fabulous idea for a veggie-holic!!

Make a sub sandwich with a cucumber instead of bread...
just cut your cucumber lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and insert your sandwich ingredients of choice… SUPER EASY!!!

Laughing cow cheese, diced pepper/spring onion, low fat cheese, shredded cheese and low fat turkey/ham would be perfect!! 


The ideas are endless!

~How to Cook Corn Perfectly~

SO SIMPLE!!!!

~How to Cook Corn Perfectly~

In the microwave!

How many of you don't like to husk corn, like me? Now you can cook it with the husk on, and it will peel right off after cooking.

Instructions:

1. Remove a few of the outer husks that might be dirty.

2. Cut the bottoms off of the corn. Be sure to cut above the part of the cob where the husk is attached. It would be above the part of the cob where it starts to round down.

3. Place a moist paper towel on the bottom of the microwave or on top of the carousel and place the corn on the paper towel.

4. Use this guide for your cook time. Remember the cooking time can vary for each microwave.

1 ear - 4 minutes
2 ears - 8 minutes

5. After cooking, let the corn sit about 3 minutes. It will continue to cook and will be cooler and easier to handle.

6. Pick the cooked corn up by the top (you might want to use an oven mitt if it is too hot to handle) and squeeze and lightly shake out the ear of corn. It should just slide out leaving the silk and all of the husks intact.

Here's a short video that shows how to do it! This is where I first saw this demonstrated:
