Salad With Raspberry Cream

I got the recipe from Southern Living, thanks. Of course with somethings omitted because I do not like it. I made this for thanksgiving and our guests hardly touch it. I ate the left over for two days hahaha. Anyway, I like it with spring mix and I buy the lettuce separately and mix it myself. I don't like the pre-mix. I used the pre-mix when I made this on thanksgiving. No more pre-mix for me, yuck!

Ingredients
3/4 c sour cream
1/4 c raspberry preserves
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/8 tsp Dijon mustard (I added some honey here)
4 firm, ripe pears (this I omitted because I don't want to eat pears with salad)
2 tbsp lemon juice (for the pears slices)
1 head Bibb lettuce, torn *
1 small head romaine lettuce, torn *
1/2 c freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
6 bacon slices, cooked & crumbled
1/2 fresh raspberries (I put more because I like it)

Preparation

 Whisk together the first four ingredients. Set aside.

Peel Pears, if desired; quarter pears, Brush with lemon juice.

Arrange lettuce on four plates. Arrange pear quarters over lettuce, Drizzle with dressing; sprinkle with cheese, bacon and raspberries.

*I bought the spring mix for these two lettuce. However, you know when lettuce are pre-mix. You don't know how long they been there plus you can't see each lettuce appearances. I hate the taste of soft lettuce.

Pork Chop Teriyaki (Grilled or Broiled)

Image
1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce 3 Tbsp unsweetened pineapple juice 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp pepper 4 or 5 pork chops In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. pour 3/4 cup into large resealable plastic bag; add pork chops. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Set aside remaining marinade for basting. Brush grill rack with cooking oil before starting the grill. Drain and discard marinade. Place pork chop on the rack. Grill, covered, for 5 minutes. Brush with reserved marinade. Grill 15-20 minutes longer or until golden brown. It depends what kind of oven you have. Some oven you only turn the knob to broil other you need to set the temperature. But I usually broil with the temperature of 400 degree F. Or broil set on low because on high it tends to burn the meat fast. You can substitute this with chicken and meaty fish also.

Paksiw & Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Image
This is my FTF entry for this week. Paksiw (sour broth) frozen baby bonito (tulingan). I settled for frozen ones, because this is very hard to find in my area. Always eaten with ton of rice...lol I don't have any other vegetables to mix with it but the pepper. I was lazy to go out (shopping) with the heat we are having. And for dessert; strawberry banana smoothie. I was weeding my vegetable garden today and I was sweating a lot. What a nice drink to have! Very filling (sweet) and refreshing after soaking under a hot sun. For more FTF images, just follow the image below.

Stuff Sweet Peppers

Image
This is my third time making this. I used red bell peppers the last I made some and you can see the images of that dish here . This time I blanched the peppers because DH was complaining last time that the peppers are not cook. And this time added some mozzarella on top too. I like it with cheese and I will make this with cheese from now on. DH only ate half of one and our kids ate the stuffings. I only wish they eat food the way I do. However, I don't have any problem with them when it comes with desserts. For more FTF entrees, please give Ms. Willa's blog a visit by following the image below. Have a great weekend!
