Loaded Cheesy rice

-


By now you're probably already tired of the endless thanksgiving leftovers turkey sandwiches : - ) Another great thanksgiving leftovers idea, is this loaded cheesy rice. This is great to do with all the bits and pieces leftover in your fridge. You can combine all the leftovers together and make something new that your family won't even recognize was your leftovers from thanksgiving.

Can be compared to southern mac and cheese as well as a lasagna. Here is how its done.

Loaded Cheesy Rice
Servings: 6-8 Servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients
2 cups rice
2 cups turkey
1 cup collard greens
1 block cream cheese (8oz)
2 cups milk
1/2 cup shredded cheese
salt, pepper to taste

Note: For this recipe you can use whatever you have leftover. What I had was collard greens and turkey, but if you had other vegetables and meats feel free to add them all to your rice, as little or as much as you have

Directions
The rice that I used was already cooked for thanksgiving and leftover. But if you don't have enough rice. Just follow this rice recipe and set it aside.

Preheat oven to 350F, Take a pyrex and put all your rice in the pyrex, add in all of your leftovers. In my case I added in the rice, collard greens and turkey.

In a large pot on medium low heat, slowly cook together the milk and cream cheese mixture until it slowly starts to thicken and becomes a cheese sauce. Pour on top of your pyrex mixture and sprinkle shredded cheese to cover the top. Cover with aluminum foil and place in over for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and leave for an additional 5 minutes to allow cheese to brown. Your done.

Remove from oven and serve warm. Goes great with sweet beans if you like that kind of thing

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
