This week i decided to start earlier in the week because i had a recipe i found last week i have been wanting to make. The dish is called a cream cheese wonton. This dish is a dumpling with a savoring filling and is very good when made correctly. This dish actually originated in A restaurant called Trader Vics located in San Francisco in 1950. Trader vics was a popular chain of Polynesian-style tiki-themed bars. It is a common misconception that these are a Chinese dish but it turns out that the only thing authentically Chinese about these wontons is the wrapping. Now that we have a little back ground information about this dish lets get to the ingredients. The ingredients for a full 24 consist of wraps,chopped chives,cream cheese,olive oil,garlic, miced onion, Worcestershire sauce, and some kind of pan to cook them in. This week the best pan i could find was a cupcake pan so lets see how well that worked out shall we? the image below is the ingredients i have described here. Now to start on the cooking as is usual for every dish i pre heated the oven to 325 degrees. This dish was surprisingly straight forward because next you just have to mix everything together. 8 ounces of cream cheese, teaspoon of minced onion,half a table spoon of garlic powder,half a table spoon of chives,a pinch of salt,and a table spoon of Worcestershire sauce. Once mixed i sprayed non stick spray on the pan and placed the wrappers to be filled. Each wrapper takes half a table spoon of the mixture. Once all of that is done we use that famous pre heated oven and bake the wontons for 8 to 10 minutes. Below is a picture of the finished dish. Over all this was a nice dish not to complex. Personally it is not my favorite but the others in my family liked it so i will take their opinion over mine.

This week I have decided on making ham and cheese sliders. It is not difficult to make but they look very good. The melted cheese running down the ham just puts a taste in your mouth before you even bite it. Its almost like when you see your favorite dish and you just wanna devour it, it puts such a craving in your mind. so you know why i feel this way I will put the picture below that i am describing. As you can see this dish looks a great and I hope to make it taste great to. Their are not a lot of ingredients for this dish all it requires is butter, Dijon mustered, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, poppy seeds, and last but not least ham, cheese, and bread. Before I start as always I pre heat the oven, this time it must be heated to 335 degrees. To start I let the butter melt then mix it with everything and let it sit. When it all mixed you place the first layer of bread. My choice for the bread was kings Hawaiian rolls simply because they were the right size. Once the layer of bread is placed I started placing each layer first a ham layer, then a cheese layer, and one final ham layer before placing the bread on top. Then i put the mixture of butter, Dijon mustered, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, and poppy seeds from before on top of it before cooking it for 20 minutes. We will be back after it has cooked and settled. Above is an image of the finished product and it looks great. The bread is nice and fluffy and the cheese has melted just right with the ham. Overall i think this was a great dish it wasn't overly complex and delivered what was expected a bit size ham and cheese. I am happy with this dish.
This week i decided to make a Moravian chicken pie. I decided sense i was absent and already had the ingredients i would get started and make the dish Wednesday. The ingredients for this dish are 2 pie crusts,butter,flour, chicken broth, evaporated milk, cooked chicken, salt, and pepper. The ingredients are shown below. ![]() Before i started making the dish i preheated the oven to 425. While the oven heats up i put a pan on the stove to melted six tablespoons of butter and added six tablespoons of flour to it. Next up was one table spoon of salt and a fourth tablespoon of pepper for taste. Next i added a one and three fourths of a cup of chicken broth. Then i added the half n half, also known as evaporated milk. While that marinated i prepared a pot and put it on the stove for the chicken. I filled the pot with boiling water and let the chicken boil for about thirty minutes. Once the chicken was done i tore the chicken off the bones (also known as mincing ). When the chicken was all torn off i placed it into the pan with the rest of the ingredients . I stirred and cooked it until it thickened nicely. Once thickened I poured the chicken mixture into a pie shell while cutting the other pie shell into strips for the top crust. Then i placed it into the oven to cook for about thirty five minutes. We will be right back after it cooks. After about thirty minutes i took out the chicken pie and let it sit it to cool down before cutting it. Below is the finished product. This dish came out pretty well as one of the first pies i had ever made. As for how its tastes the salt and pepper did wonders on making this dish come out delicious. Of all the dishes i have made so far this is definitely one of my favorites.
For this weeks dish im going to be making a quiche. A quiche is a pie crust filled with eggs,cheese,and anything of your choice. Their are many ways to make a quiche it is not a specific set of ingredients, you can make a quiche with vegetables, fruit, anything you would like to add can make quiche. This is a mean most commonly served as a brunch not quite dinner not quite lunch. below is a picture of the ingredients i will be using for this quiche. For the quiche i want to use cheddar cheese, diced ham, and spring onions. Instead of making the crust i bought one with the ingredients just to save time. Before i started i preheated the oven to 400 degrees and baked the shell before putting the ingredients in. While the crust baked i mixed five eggs,1/4 cup of heavy cream, 1 1/4 cup of chopped ham, a cup of shredded cheese, 1/3 cup of chopped onions, and salt n pepper for taste. For this recipe you make the filling while the crust bakes. once the crust was finished baking i pored the filling in and placed the quiche in the oven until the center is barley set. I set it for around 45 minutes so we will be right back after this is done. The quiche is done and had browned to be nice and crisp. Below is an image of the finished dish. compared to last weeks dish this seems much more appealing to the eye. This dish also has more common ingredients unlike last weeks dish which included Doritos. The ingredients used for this dish basically made scrambled eggs with a pie crust which was unusual but good.
For this weeks dish i decided on a Dorito Casserole recipe which is just as it sounds. A Dorito casserole is layers of crushed Dorito chips, ground beef, and cheese sauce. The description of the recipe is ¨Every bite has the perfect amount of chip, cheese, and meet in it!¨ As a extra desert and a make up for last weeks missed dish I will also be making Cream cheese mints which is also just as it sounds a mint made of butter, cream cheese, and prouder sugar. Here is a quote on the dish from the my mother ¨They are a heart attack waiting to happen but they are really good!¨ I decided to let her pick the second dish to make up for the first and she asked for them. we got the ingredients today as shown by the picture bellow. To start I grounded the beef in a frying pan and added taco seasoning. once it was all mixed together I added a can of cheddar cheese soup, a can of cream chicken soup for thickening, evaporated milk, and diced green chills for small hint of spice. While this took place I sprayed the bottom of the bacon dish I am using with non stick cooking spray and added the Doritos i had previously crushed up. Unfortunately as shown in the picture above my assistant was tired so i decided to let her nap while i proceeded to the next part of the dish. For the next step i added the beef on top of the Doritos with a layer of cheese. After that i put it in the oven and let it cook. The picture below is the finished product. I will admit It does not appeal to the eye but it was a good meal as both of my parents have stated. With the first dish out of the way i started on the second dish which had already been started while the first dish cooked in the oven. I had placed cream cheese and butter in a mixer until it was creamy and smooth. I then added prouder sugar, vanilla, mint extract, and a bit of food coloring for my mother.
Below is the finished product and my first two dishes complete for genus hour. |
