Lemon Butter Clams (Essential Oils)

We went out if town this past weekend and every time we are in Pensacola, Florida...we would stop by Joe Patti (local seafood store) so I can grab some seafood. I LOVE  that place.  Every time we go there..I never leave without buying an icechest full of fresh SEAFOOD. 

This trip I got some really good clams,lobsters, LUMP crab meat, fresh filet of assorted FISHES. 

I grabbed 3 bags of clams for dinner that night knowing that we be home late and the kids would be starving....since it is the easiest and QUICKEST to make. 

Ingredient: 

Clams (washed and clean--I just used a scrub that I have for clams n mussels--set aside in a colander to drain all excess water) 

1 Stick Butter 

4 cloves garlic (minced)

2 C White Wine 

4 drops of Lemon Essential Oils 

1 lemon cut into thin slices (garnished) 

Salt 

Pepper 

Chopped parsley (garnish) 

Direction: 

In a big sauté pan I melted my butter and threw in the minced garlic .. Cook until the garlic is translucent. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Then pour in the  2 C white wine and  clams. Then added the LEMON ESSENTIAL OILS. Then cover for about 15 minutes. Making sure the clams is open.. Toss the clams that are not open. 

Uncover and toss until all the ingredients are nicely incorporated. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. 

Pour into a deep dish and garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley. 

Enjoy!! 

Breakfast Muffin

Breakfast Muffin

Ingredient: 

1 can of Grand Flaky Biscuit 

(I didn't used the whole biscuit because it would be to thick so I halve them. My biscuit was 8 so made 16 muffins)

Mexican blend cheese (you can use any kind that you like) this was what I had on hand.

I halve the biscuit and lay them into a grease muffin pan. Next I broke up my sausage and put in the middle of each biscuit and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Enjoy!! 

Spicy Corn Dip

During the Holidays I love to try different appetizers ...especially since we attend so many get togethers and parties. I usually like to bring a dish and I find that bringing an appetizer or dessert is usually the best dish to bring. 

I got this appertizer dip from "The Chic Site" I did tweak it a little according to my taste. 

Spicy Corn Dip 

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons butter

1 yellow onion, finely chopped

5 garlic cloves, minced

1 large red bell pepper, chopped

4 cups corn (frozen) 

2 cups medium cheddar cheese, shredded

3 cups pepper jack cheese, shredded

2 cups cream cheese, softened

1 1/2 cups mayo

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

1 cup scallions, chopped

2 tablespoons chipotle in adobe puree

2 tablespoons hot sauce, or more if you like it super spicy

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions: 

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Heat a LARGE skillet over medium heat. Add butter and sauté the onions, garlic, red bell pepper, and corn until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cream cheese until combined.

Mix the remaining ingredients in a large bowl with the cilantro, green onion (scallion)  and cream cheese/corn mixture. I left about a cup of cheese to sprinkle over the top and added a few pat if butter just so it can get a nice brown cheesy top. 

Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly. Pour the dip into an oven-safe baking dish. Bake for about 30-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

Serve hot out of the oven with TORILLA chips!! 

 Enjoy!

Before going into over and sprinkle with extra cheese on top..
