Salmon Swirls

Yum
Got company coming??  Whip up a batch of these crowd-pleasers to get the party started.

These little appetizers are easy and you can make plenty using one can of salmon and these simple ingredients.

1 can of salmon deboned  (I get mine from Cosco -Kirkland brand is already de-boned and skinless

2 tblspn sliced/diced jalapeno pepper

1/2 tblspn of the jalapeno pepper liquid

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp cayenne pepper

4 oz cream cheese

flour tortillas

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Drain salmon and empty into medium size mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir.  Ok.. now.. if you like spicy.. add more jalapenos.. (which is what I like – so I always start with 2 tblspns then I add a little at a time to get the spicy desire I want.  Scoop some and spread on a tortilla.

Roll and slice them to your desired thickness.  Place on baking sheet and bake approximately 5-7 mins or until the tortillas feel a bit firm

Remove and serve hot.. Then start popping them in your mouth..

I hope you enjoy these delicious appetizers as much as we do..As always cooking is good with a little “TLC” – TwinsLuvCooking

Baked Salmon w/Honey Mustard Cream Sauce

Yum

Hey Lovies!!  I have a very delicious recipe for the salmon lovers. trust me.. this dish is sure to please.  The best part is – it’s so easy..  I have to give kudos to a dear friend of ours, Larry.  After tasting it –  I knew I had to share it with you – his was very delicious, but I made a just a couple of simple changes  (added the “TLC” touch)

Ingredients:

1 slab of fresh salmon

1 cup of heavy cream

2 tblspn dijon  mustard

3 tblspn honey

Zatarains blackened seasoning (Larry used cayenne pepper)

Garlic powder

Rinse salmon and pat dry.  Place in the baking dish and generously coat the salmon with the blackened seasoning on both sides and rub in.   Sprinkle lightly with the garlic powder on both sides and rub in.

 

In a small sauce pan, bring heavy cream to a bubble, reduce heat and add Dijon mustard and honey.  Reduce flame and let simmer approximately 10 mins.   Taste a little dab to be sure you taste the honey and mustard, making sure it’s not overpowering.

Pour cream over the salmon, cover and bake approximately 20 mins (or until salmon is done)

See how simple that was!!   As always – It’s “T.L.C”  TwinsLuvCooking!

We’d like to say thanks to Larry.   I hope you make it and if so..holla at your girls!

 

 

Texas Red Wings

Yum

Is your stomach growling or mouth watering..?? Good, because that what I had hoped..  – Mission Accomplished.  Ok now.. Who doesn’t like wings??? duhhhh   Nobody!!

This is the most simplest recipe that has so much flavor.. the kind that makes you lick you lips and say mmmmm..smack,smack, mmmmm..

4 Ingredients:  Vegetable Oil  (2 tblspn)    Wings    Garlic Powder     Sea Salt                               Victoria Seasonings Texas Red Seasoning  (click here to order)

Preheat oven to 375.  Wash and clean wings.  Season wings generously with garlic powder, sea salt and Texas Red Seasoning.  Pour vegetable oil on top of wings.  Here’s where it gets messy (but it’s worth it)  Rub each wing with the oil and seasoning, massaging thoroughly making sure they’re nicely coated.

Place in lightly greased baking dish and bake uncovered for 30 mins (or until done).  Then broil on for browning, the last 15 mins.  Turn and brown the other side.  The skin will become slightly crisp.

 

Remove and serve hot..

Pudding Parfaits

I know I’m being devilish with this treat, but I’ve been wanting to make these for the longest.. and now that I did – I can’t figure out what took me so long!  Talk about a chocolatey treat–boy–oh-boy- I felt like a kid again when I ate this!   Who’d thought five simple ingredients could be so scrumptious…and the hardest part was crunching cookies.. (yea right –  like that’s  hard chuckles..)

Ingredients:    1 large box of chocolate instant pudding      3 cups of milk (I use 2%)   cool whip                                                 whipped cream   Oreo cookies

In a large bowl mix pudding and milk – set aside and let get firm (about 10 mins).  Add half of cool whip to the pudding and stir to form a mousse like consistency. Dump cookies in a large Ziploc bag and crunch into pieces.. I used a rolling pin  Once all crunched  add a layer of the cookies then a layer of pudding, next a layer of cool whip, then repeat and top with whipped cream.. Next – dig in!

Don’t they look mmmmm….

Perfect to make with the kids (or for the kid in you)

So don’t wait as long as I did.. go ahead.. give them a try!     Spoon anyone????
