In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat.
Add the diced bacon and saute, stirring, for 1 minute.
Turn the heat down to medium and add the potato and cook, add little water if its too dry (about 15 mins).
Add seasoning, salt and pepper.

Banana Cream Pie




Easy Banana Cream Pie ever!

The pie crust recipe is from Food Network :3

Recipe

12 graham cracker squares (6 full sheets)
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a food processor, process graham crackers until finely ground.
Add butter and 1 tablespoon of water, and process until the crumb clumps together.
Press crumb mixture into bottom of pie plate and about 1/2-inch up the sides.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, then let cool.

For the filling, XD I just use JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Fat Free Sugar Free Instant Reduced Calorie Pudding & Pie Filling. Just follow the instruction on the box, add milk and cook it till boil.

Arrange the sliced bananas on the graham cracker crust and pour the pudding on top. Place in the refrigerator until the pudding has set, about 3 hours.

Serve topped with the remaining 1 cup whipped topping.

I am afraid of extra calories so i didnt put whip cream XD so actually this is just a banana pie :p but overalll i used like 20min to make it :3 and it taste good!!!!!

Oh 1 more thing, I think the curst is little bit thin! I think i will add 8 more graham cracker squares (4 full sheets) and 1 more butter to make the pie crust thicker XD i will try again to make it maybe next week, will le u guys know XD

Florentine Mac and Cheese and Roast Turkey Sausage Meatballs





My first Mac N Cheese XD and i think its good! at least look good!
The original recipe is from Food Network. Rachael Ray, instead using Chicken, I use Turkey. If you want your Mac and Cheese more creamy, maybe you should use 1/2 cup whole milk and 1/2 cup half & half. And i think the Cheese I use (Fontina) is little bit mind, maybe I will mix 1/2 cup white shredded cheddar to it next time, so maybe it will add more favor XD anyway I have a good meal tonite !!! HAPPY
Recipe
Salt
1 pound cavatappi corkscrew shaped hallow pasta
1 1/2 pounds ground Turkey
Black pepper
3 cloves garlic
grated 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 cups grated Fontina, divided
1 egg 3/4 cup bread crumbs, plus more, if needed*
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil,
10 ounces, chopped frozen spinach
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup 1% milk

Turkey Sausage Meatball
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl combine the chicken, salt and pepper, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup grated Fontina, egg and bread crumbs. *If the mixture seems too wet, add a handful of bread crumbs and mix together.

Form 16 large round balls, about 2-3 inches. Coat balls in a couple of tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and lightly grease a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Arrange balls on the baking sheet and roast 17 to 18 minutes until juices run clear.
Mac and Cheese
Place a large pot of water on to boil for pasta.
When it comes to a boil, salt it and add the pasta to cook to al dente.

Defrost spinach in microwave.
In a medium sauce pot over medium heat, melt butter, whisk in flour, cook 1 minute then whisk in stock and milk, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and thicken 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 cup grated Parmigiano and reduce heat on lowest setting.

Wring spinach completely dry then separate as you add it to the sauce.
Toss pasta with the spinach-white sauce and adjust seasonings.

Serve Florentine Mac-n-Cheese with 2 meatballs per person along side.
