Bruschetta Goat Cheese Panini's




 
 
Who's ready for the Super Bowl I know I always like to build a Panini Bar with a variety of meats and cheeses and then some sliders with a couple of dips, and then have the guests bring deserts This is one of my  quick and easy, go to recipes, and you will be in and out of the kitchen in 5 min, including clean up!


TIP Of The Day: If you do not own a Panini Press Take a brick and cover with foil and place on top of sandwich. Works the same Way as a Panini Machine. In addition to you can use your George Foreman cooking Machine they are pretty much the same.

1 Sandwich
Bruschetta Goat Cheese Panini’s Ingredients:
Gluten Free French Bread  2 Slices 1/2 inch thick I make the Glutino Mix
2 Tablespoons Goat Cheese
1 Tablespoon Tomato Bruschetta
Butter (Optional)



Take Some Gluten Free French Bread and Cut ½ inch Slices













Next Take goat cheese spread on Gluten Free Bread
Last take Tomato Bruschetta and spread on top of goat cheese.
Optional Butter Outside of Gluten FreeBread
Place in Panini in Panini Machine and cook for about 1-2 min or in Frying Pan on Medium Heat for 1 min each side.




Bon Appetite!

Enjoy,

Bruschetta Goat Cheese Sliders

With Super Bowl Sunday coming right around the corner I am always looking for great recipes to serve at my super bowl party and this is a old one but a great one.  I thought to my self what do I have in my freezer that I could make that had the burger feel. However, because I live in the land of La La, I try to watch what I eat. So when I am making burgers, I always try to do sliders. This way I get to eat the guilty pleasure of a burger and it is not supper big. So if I eat one slider with fries or chips I am full.


Tip Of The Day: Before going to the Market Check the sale advertisements
mine comes out On Tuesday Night at Midnight online for my local Ralph's or Vons Markets. I See what is on sale and stock up on my Meat Poultry and Fish and I freeze it. This way when you have that inspiration or are reading a recipe on my website you already have the ingredients available.

Bruschetta Goat Cheese Sliders

Makes 8-10 Sliders


Ingredients:
1 pound Ground Sirloin
½ chopped Red Onion about 1cup finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon pepper


Filling:

8-10 ½ teaspoons of  Bruschetta spread make sure it's gluten free
8-10 ½ teaspoons of Goat Cheese

1 Bag of Gluten Free Dinner Rolls Sliced Horizontally

Equipment:

Grill, Frying Pan or Grill Pan
Large Bowl for Mixing
Platter or Plate one for patties Cooked one for Raw patties






Mix first 6 Ingredients together in bowl. Next form16-20 thin patties, so you can meld together after placing filling on top. Next sprinkles Bruschetta and goat cheese on top of thin patty.






Then place other patty on top and squish together so you do not see the filling. Next place on grill for 3-5 min a side until desired wellness. When Cooked place on Gluten Free Roll and serve with chips

Gluten Free Chicken Ceasar Pasta Salad

So a couple of years ago when I started Cooking Underwriter I made some great recipes that were not gluten free. However, I feel that now that I live a gluten free lifestyle with my family, it is time to recreate these recipes to be gluten free. So when I am creating a new recipe, the first thing I try to do is to get inspired. I do this in various ways i.e.... watch The Food Network, The Cooking Channel, and I visit my local restaurants in the area; plus I have a full library of cookbooks and Magazines too. This recipe was inspired by a dish that Mr. Fix It ordered at Raz’s Little Italy , West Hills, California. Mr. Fix It, my hubby, ordered Chicken Alfredo and when I saw the colors of his dish it immediately put a vision into my head.  So when the heat turns up in the kitchen I either get up really early and make dinner or I cook and concoct the night before. This would be a great recipe for party or to serve as a main dish.


 Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad Ingredients:
1 Yellow Bell Pepper Julienne cut
½ Orange Bell Pepper Julienne cut
1 ½ Cups Broccoli in small pieces blanched
2 green onions chopped
2 cups chicken shredded
6 cups gluten free pasta cooked about 1 box
1 Jar of Ken's Caesar dressing
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
(Save 1/4 cup for garnish)
Equipment
1 Extra Large bowl
1 Large Bowl
1 (2 Cup) Measuring Cup

Tip of the day: Your fridge/freezer work better when full, so spend the week stocking up on fresh groceries and your evenings at home.

Cook Pasta to package directions.








Take Bell Peppers(both Orange and Yellow) and Julianne cut, Broccoli, green onions and toss in bowl. Next add Shredded Chicken.







 Cooked Pasta, and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese and toss all together with Salad dressing. Place in beautiful bowl then serve.  Garnish with a sprinkle of cheese.

Bon Appetite!

Enjoy,

Super Bowl XLV let The party begin

So if your like me you start to think about what to serve at your Supper Bowl party about 2 weeks prior to the actual game day. This Year Super Bowl XLV will be held in Cowboy Stadium in Dallas Texas. What this means to me is a good bowl of Red is in order, that’s Texan talk for Chili, plus a couple extra options for those who are not chili fans. So at my Super Bowl Fiesta I will probably make a lot of finger food including: Home made Chicken tenders, Grilled Peppers and Onions to go with Brett’s Brats and Bacon wrapped Itallian Sausage, Chili, Alfredo Corn on the cob, Fritto Pie, Chicken Ceasar Pasta Salad, Summer in a Bowl, Dates stuffed with Goat Cheese wrapped in Bacon, Baby Dogs wrapped in Bacon, Fig, Apple, Bacon and Onion Glaze served on a bed of Warmed Brie, A spicy Date in a blanket, Hot and Spicy Artichoke Dip, 7 layer Bean Dip ( I will Post on Monday), plus the traditional Chips Salsa and Guacamole. Plus we will have the Tradional Margaritas, Grapefruit Margaritas and Greyhounds at Sunset and Beer. For dessert, Homemade brownies and Cookie Crisp Rice Crispy Treats.

It should be a fun game the Pittsburg Steelers are playing the Greenbay Packers. Christina Aguilera is scheduled to sing National Anthem.

The Black Eyed Peas are playing in the Half Time show.




Here are all of my links to my recipes:


Enjoy!!!
