I am giving you a couple recipes from my meal plans this week.
I hope you enjoy them!
PINEAPPLE PRETZEL FLUFF
1/2 C butter melted
1 C sugar - separated into 2 - 1/2 c measures
3 C of small broken pretzels
8 oz. cream cheese - room temp.
8 oz. container Cool Whip - thawed
20 oz. pineapple pieces (I used 2 home canned pints) drained.
Preheat oven 350.
Drain your pineapple (keep juice for other uses), and set aside.
Melt butter in a saucepan and add 1/2 C sugar and stir until sugar is melted.
Spread broken pretzel pieces into a 9 x 11 pan (I covered with parchment- no mess). Spread butter/sugar mix over pretzels and mix it all up. Place in oven for 10 minutes. COOL COMPLETELY!
Mix final 1/2 C sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Add in Cool Whip and pineapple and mix. Break apart pretzel mix (it will be like solid chunks) and add into the mix.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
**The pretzels get coated like sugar coated nuts do. They actually taste like nuts when in the fluff mixture.
**I think this would be wonderful with about any kind of fruit added.
THIS IS SO GOOD!
DECONSTRUCTED EGG ROLLS
1/4 C diced onion
1 lb. ground sausage
1 - 16 oz. package of coleslaw mix
2 cloves of garlic - minced (or garlic powder to taste)
1 tsp. ground ginger
salt to taste (or add soy sauce)
Brown sausage and onion. Add other ingredients - cover and cook for 5 minutes. remove lid and toss together.
I serve with a can of Asian noodles to give a crunchy texture.
YUM
We are having this tonight!
There you go! A couple easy recipes that are still very frugal.
Hope you enjoy!
Cheryl, this recipe for deconstructed egg rolls sounds wonderful to me. I love lettuce wraps and am going to try it with your recipe by wrapping it in lettuce instead of the noodles. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds yummy as well. Saves on carbs!
DeleteENJOY
My next post is about your recipe for Deconstructed Egg Rolls with a link to this post. I just love the ease of this recipe of yours Cheryl.
DeleteThose both sound good, Cheryl. Thank you for sharing them with us. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteThey are tasty!
I've made the dessert recipe before with strawberries and I think the pineapple version would be delicious. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm strawberries would be so good.
DeleteYou're welcome.
Oh those recipes sound good! I'm going to pick up some pretzels the next time I am at the store.
ReplyDeleteWe love egg rolls. I only have half a pound of sausage so I may serve over rice to make it stretch further.
Thanks for the recipes.
That would be great with rice as well. It can't be bad!
DeleteEnjoy
I love new recipes! I enjoy hot turkey sausage, so that's what's going in the deconstructed egg rolls. I am always happy to find low-carb main dishes.
ReplyDeleteThat pineapple fluff looks amazing--especially the way the pretzels are baked first. Do you suppose that crushed pineapple will work okay? Or should I stick with chunks?
Yes you sure could make it hot and spicy. That would be great.
DeleteI don't see why you couldn't use crushed. It kind of tastes like cheesecake to me - so any variation would be yummy.
The pineapple fluff looks amazing... yum. I am doing low carb with my husband right now and I had forgotten about the eggroll dish. We tried it once before and like it.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is tasty and rich!
DeleteGlad to remind you of another dish you can make.
They sound yummy. I will have to try them out. I posted one of my family's favorites that is so easy to make. Brown sugar flank steak: https://mcoia.blogspot.com/2018/04/brown-sugar-flank-steak.html
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy them.
DeleteYUM -that sounds great. don't get flank steak often (it has gotten really expensive), but once in a while!
Thanks.
I think I can make this tonight, I have some chicken sausage/cabbage&carrots to make the coleslaw mix...thanks for the recipe Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome. I love recipes that let you use what you have.
DeleteENJOY
Wow, we had it for dinner last night and it was terrific absolutely delicious. We had diced mango with onion, lime, coriander, and hot pepper for a side dish with it.
DeleteSounds yummy!
