  • {{ NEW RECIPE BELOW!! }} This Jalapeño Popper Cheddar Loaf is bringing the heat today as we celebrate the 2nd annual #NationalCheddarDay!!! {#ad} ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am putting a wholesome, family-friendly spin on one of my husband's all-time FAVORITE snack foods, jalapeño poppers! I've toned down the heat a bit for my kiddo's, upgraded it with the cheese factor using not 1 but 2 types of @Tillamook Farmstyle Thick Cut Shreds, and I've folded it all in to a decadent homemade loaf of bread that everyone can dig into! Jalapeño Popper Cheddar Loaf Yield: 1 loaf 1 jalapeno 1 poblano pepper 1 green bell pepper 1 store bought yeast bread mix, gluten free or regular plus the ingredients called for on the package 1 teaspoon smoked sea salt, optional 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 3/4 cup Tillamook Farmstyle Thick Cut Sharp Cheddar Shreds, divided 1 /2 cup Tillamook Farmstyle Thick Cut Medium Cheddar Shreds Flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper Preheat the oven to broil and line sheet pan with foil. Place peppers on the pan and place under the broiler, turning every 4-6 minutes until blackened and charred all over. Transfer the peppers to a paper bag to steam off skins. When cool enough to handle, remove skins, seeds and ribs of the peppers then mince into small pieces. Combine the peppers with 1/2 cup of the Tillamook Farmstyle Thick Cut Sharp Cheddar Shreds and all of the Medium Cheddar Shreds and the garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper, stir to combine, set aside. Prepare the store-bought yeast bread mix as directed on the package. Right before you allow the bread to rise fold in the pepper mixture. Rise as instructed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Before baking, per package instructions, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the dough and sprinkle with flaky salt and cracked black pepper. #TillamookCheese . . . #thismessisDinner #CookitCrew #glutenfree #jalapenopopper #pepperpopper #cheddar #cheeselover #homemadebread
  • True story || I am notorious for setting off fire alarms when I'm cooking! 🔥😮🤷🏻‍♀️But, thanks to my Extra Crispy Oven Baked 🥓 recipe I no longer wake the masses at the crack of dawn on the weekends like I did when I used to make it in the skillet! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This recipe has been pinned over 3K times on @Pinterest already & for good reason - it's easy, delicious, & has minimal clean up! I can't say that for other 🥓 preparations.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anywho....I am a mad woman over here planning a brunch gathering this weekend for some of our friends on the pond and that means I'm whipping out this recipe FOR SURE! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm also thinking about making those Roasted 🍌 Chai Sheet Pan Pancakes that I shared on stories last week. Don't worry if you missed them, they were SO good that the recipe is coming to @thismessisours ASAP! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The 🥓 recipe is profile linked for ya, but just in case you aren't sure what to do...

  • IG ONLY RECIPE BELOW!! || Did you know that salt is the only rock humans eat? What about how long you should be storing dried spices? Or have you ever wondered how to take care of those living basil plants at the grocery store? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, I went on @atlandco and shared some simple kitchen tips that you can use in your kitchen every 👏single👏 day👏! From the basics of salt to the spice cabinet and even how to preserve your herbs in butter, @cdpullara and I covered it all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Christine LOVED my Cranberry Orange & Vanilla Bean Compound Butter so much that I wanted to share the recipe here in case you wanted to try it too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 stick salted butter, softened 1/3 cup finely minced dried cranberries zest of 1 large orange 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean sugar or regular sugar pinch of coarse kosher salt + a few grinds of black pepper ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Stir everything together in a small bowl until completely combined. Transfer the butter mixture to a small piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log, twisting the ends to seal like a piece of candy. Store in the fridge, slice into coins to serve. This compound butter is great on muffins, quick breads, and even roasted sweet potatoes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My segment is profile linked or you can watch it here: https://www.11alive.com/video/entertainment/television/programs/atlanta-and-company/kitchen-know-how-with-meg-van-de-kruik/85-3e2ea4ba-5b91-4bd6-8c58-2031d66b08cf . . . #thismessisours #BHGStylemaker #CookitCrew #atlantaandcompany #atlantablogger #atlantafoodblogger #spices #freshherbs #salt #cookingbasics #cookingschool #reformation @reformation @stasher #stasher #penseysspices
