Sadly, no personal pick for me today. I had 4-5 I was going to choose between, but alas, none of them linked back.  It’s linky rules, you know, a “You scratch our backs, we’ll scratch yours” kind of thing! Maybe next time…..  :)  Anyhow, instead I want to show you a pic I took of some YUMMY treats Dale brought home Tuesday night. He went fishing and came home with no fish.  However, he did find some Morel mushrooms and Asparagus growing wild, he promptly sauteed them in butter for us to try.

Best. Snack. EVER.

Mexican Breakfast Braid

Check out this amazing Mexican Breakfast Braid from Flavors By Four. It caught my eye at Weekend Potluck, and I knew I had to make it and SOON!

  I have never worked with Chorizo sausage before. It’s a bit greasier than I expected, but after draining it, it was no problem!  And talk about flavorful! It made this recipe so unique in taste.  Almost like taco seasoned sausage!

I know this looks complicated, but it really is not! Destiny helped me make this one……

Mexican Breakfast Braid

adapted from Flavors By Four

Mexican Breakfast Braid 2 txt

Ingredients

  • 1 can {8 Oz} Pillsbury Seamless Dough
  • 5 whole Large Eggs
  • 10 ounces, weight Pork Chorizo
  • 2 whole Jalapenos Diced
  • 4 Tablespoons Red Pepper, Diced
  • 1-½ cup Shredded Mexican Cheese
  • Sour Cream

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 375*. Lay out dough to begin to bring to room temperature while you fry up your sausage.
Chop with your spatula as you cook your Chorizo, then drain. Using the same skillet, scramble 5 eggs with salt and pepper.
Spread dough out on a cookie sheet or baking stone and cut strips up each side, leaving the center 4 inches untouched. Sprinkle cheese down center, followed by eggs, meat, one or both peppers, and more cheese.
Taking cut strips of dough, gently stretch and crisscross along the entire length of dough, tucking in as you go.
Bake for 15 minutes, serve hot with sour cream garnish.

Enjoy your yummy breakfast!

Hi, and Welcome to Weekend Potluck! Where Friends & Foodies meet and eat, ALLL Weekend Long!

First up, Flashback Friday!  Flashback Friday

I picked a yummy Fish Recipe for you that are giving up meat for Lent…..

But since we are talking about fish, check out Destiny’s Flying Fish Project for school.  :)  flying fish

  I learned so much while we researched for her report! Did you know the Flying Fishes tail moves 70 times per SECOND?  This allows it to appear to “fly” across the water, sometimes as far as 1200 feet before going back under.  Our Creator is SO creative! :)

 Now for some fish you can sink your teeth into…..

Broccoli-Cauli Cheese Soup & Weekend Potluck # 57

Welcome to Weekend Potluck! Where friends & foodies meet and eat, all Weekend long!

Weekend Potluck Banner

Today, I want to share a recipe for Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup.  I have shared it one other time on the blog with no picture, due to a MAJOR flop of a soup called “Just Like Panera’s Broccoli Cheese Soup”.

Uhhhh, NO.  Not just like Panera’s. Boo.

Sooo, the following delicious Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup recipe, just got thrown in at the bottom of the Artisan Soup Bowl recipe, with no photo to make up for the previously mentioned FLOP.  {I added a blurry quick indoor photo later, but it just doesn’t do this soup justice.}

Today, it gets its moment to shine on Weekend Potluck!

This recipe comes ALLL the way from Florida.  My dad’s wife Drea makes it, and we LOVE it!  Even Dale and Ty, my non-cheese eaters, ate two big bowls each.

Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup

{click title for easy printable}

Broccoli Cauliflower Cheese Soup

Ingredients

  • 2 packages {12-24 Ounces} Frozen Broccoli
  • 2 packages {12-24 Ounces} Frozen Cauliflower
  • Generous Amounts Of Garlic Powder, And Fresh Pepper.
  • Salt To Taste
  • 12 ounces, weight Velveeta, Cubed
  • 2 cans {10.75 Ounces Each} Cream Of Chicken Soup
  • 1-½ cup Boiling Water
  • 1 quart Half-and-half

Steam veggies according to directions on the package. You decide how many veggies you steam, I do 4, 12 ounce bags. Add seasonings to taste, be generous, it makes all the difference – garlic powder and pepper make it pop. Plus, salt to taste.

While your veggies steam, heat cheese on low, until melted in a large soup pot over medium heat. Once cheese is melted, add soups, boiling water and half-and-half. Carefully stir in steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Heat through – but make sure that you do not boil it or it will scorch.

Serve with Texas Toast or Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, YUM!
