Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread

Are you lazy but love garlic bread? Here’s an easy recipe you can throw together anytime. I made these with bagel slices, but you can substitute, bread, English muffins, or whatever else you might have lying around.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Bread
Chopped garlic
Butter
Adobo seasoning (if you don’t have you can substitute garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano)
Paprika
Cheese of your choice (I used mozzarella)

Here’s what you do:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F (a toaster oven works as well)
Spread the butter and garlic on the bread
Add adobo seasoning and paprika(or other spices that you are using)
Sprinkle the bread with cheese
Cook for seven to ten minutes

Remove from the oven and enjoy!

Spicy Bruschetta

What a kick in the face!

Dig in!

This is a delicious and easy throw together. Obviously I left the seeds in because These Guys like their food extra spicy. This recipe is great as a snack, side dish, or just something great to munch on. Here’s what you do:

Get yourself:

3 tomatoes-diced

2 jalapeno peppers -finely diced

basil -about 10-15 leaves (a good amount)- chopped

5 cloves garlic-minced 

Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes

 

Mix everything together and enjoy!

Note: This recipe is particularly spicy. If you want a more medium heat I would recommend one jalapeno. However, if you want this to blow your mouth off I suggest you leave the seeds IN the jalapeno.

Berry Applesauwwce

Who says that home made applesauce (or home made anything for that matter) has to be hard? My mother and grandfather created this recipe when I was but a wee child. Since the days of my grandfather peeling apples and my mother fixing the spice this has been a favorite for dessert or a snack- served chilled or warm! I have changed the recipe slightly, but something tells me my mother won’t mind.

 

Here’s how the magic happens…

You will need:

Bag of apples (mcintosh apples are best because they are sweeter)

Frozen Strawberries

Frozen Blueberries

Orange juice

Cinnamon sticks

Honey

What to do once you have your ingredients:

Peel and dice the apples (the smaller they are the faster they will cook), add several handfuls of strawberries and a couple handfuls of blueberries. Place the fruit into a pot along with 1/2 a cup -one full cup orange juice, cinnamon sticks, and 3 tablespoons honey. Place on the stove top on high heat. Once orange juice starts to boil, turn the heat down to low and cook for another 10-15 minutes until the fruit is soft. Turn off heat and let cool. Remove cinnamon sticks and use immersion blender to puree to desired consistency. The sauce may be enjoyed hot and cold (if there’s any left to cool down!)

 

Afterthoughts: 

* Depending on how sweet the apples are you might want to add more honey, or even granulated sugar. Adding honey or sugar when you puree is perfectly fine.

* The amount of orange juice will determine the texture at the end. Depending on how big the bag of apples is you will want to use more or less of the juice.

* Pears are also great in this recipe either only pears, only apples, or a pleasant combination of the two

* When removing the cinnamon sticks keep in mind that they just need a quick rinse and can be reused

 

Enjoy!
