Of course, no one ever wants to gain weight or fulfill the prediction of the "Freshman (or College) Fifteen", but that shouldn't prevent you from being social, having fun or contributing...right?
To avoid confusion the recipes will be posted in sequence.
Hot Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Dip
(Original recipe calls for bacon. I would recommend skipping that!)
Equipment:
8 x 10 Pyrex Oven-proof dish
Knife, for chopping
Mixing bowl
Ingredients:
(3 slices of bacon, diced and cooked crispy)
2 8 oz packages of 1/3 reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
4-6 jalapeños, chopped and deseeded--leave some with seeds if you like it hot and fiery!
1 cup corn kernels
1 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar
1/2 cup of mozzarella
1 cup of crushed Ritz crackers
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 stick butter, melted
Instructions:
1. Wash your hands.
2. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
3. Make the bacon if you choose to use this.
4. Make the topping in a small bowl combining crushed crackers, cheese and butter. Set aside.
Cool Cucumber Munchers
Do not be deceived by the simplicity or that this entails cucumbers.
Equipment:
Oven or Toaster Oven
Baking Sheet
Mixing Bowl
Knife, for chopping and spreading
Ingredients:
1 French Baguette, small diameter
1-2 English Cucumbers or Regular Cucumbers, sliced 1/4" thick to fit bread round
4 oz of goat cheese / Chèvre
1 clove garlic, minced
1-2 tsp of Fresh herbs, such as oregano, parsley and marjoram, chopped
Salt & Pepper
Tajin Chili Seasoning (optional and can be bought in Mexican / International Grocery stores. Worth the investment since this is an ingredient used in several recipes that Jon has requested)
Instructions:
1. Wash your hands.
2. Alternately peel the cucumber and slice into 1/4" rounds.
2. Slice the baguette into 1/4" rounds and toast slightly.
3. Combine the soft goat cheese with garlic, herbs, S & P, and a pinch of Tajin (if available)
4. Spread cream cheese mixture on to bread rounds.
5. Top with a slice of cucumber and a dash of Tajin
6. Place on a platter or put them in a Tupperware to travel to the game wherever that may be.
7. Be safe and have fun!
