I made this tonight and DH loved it. I used 1 pound of extra large shrimp and

smaller pan. I would double the wine and lemon if you serve with thin spaghetti. I also put in under broiler for 2 minutes to brown.

NEXT INGREDIENT:  Cinnamon

@aroc3435  Oops. Thank you for reminding me.

DRY RUB (for pork or chicken)

1/4 cup Golden Monk Fruit

1 Tablespoon pink salt 

1 Tablespoon paprika

1 Tablespoon black pepper

1 Tablespoon onion powder

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon cayenne

1 teaspoon celery salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

Blend all ingredients together and use as needed on pork or chicken. I like to make a larger batch (quadrupled recipe) and keep on hand.  It keeps well. 

FYI - golden monk fruit is an alternative for light brown sugar. 

Next Ingredient:  Bacon

BACON-Wrapped Fingerling Potatoes with Thyme

1 lb. fingerling potatoes, washed, patted dry and stem 

        ends removed

1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1 pkg. (1/2 lb.) BACON

1/4 cup chicken broth

Toss potatoes with thyme, olive oil, pepper and paprika; set aside.  Cut each BACON slice in half lengthwise; wrap half slice BACON tightly around each potato.

Heat large skillet over medium heat; add potatoes.  Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until lightly browned and some BACON fat has rendered out.  BACON should sear "shut" around potatoes.

Place potatoes in a crock pot/slow cooker.  Add chicken broth, cover and cook on High for 3 hours.

NEXT INGREDIENT ..... EGGS

Perfect Brunch Eggs

Servings: 12

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: 12 Minutes

Total Time: 17 Minutes

• cooking spray
• 12 large eggs
• salt & pepper
• various herbs and cheese, optional

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray Whoopie Pie Pan with cooking spray. Carefully break each egg into a small bowl first, then pour into the well from the bowl. This will allow you to remove any egg shell if some should fall into the liquid.
• Carefully place in the oven, taking care not to spill the eggs over the wells.
• Bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on how runny you prefer the yolks. Open the oven door and press on yolk to verify level of doneness.
• Serve immediately. If you want to add herbs, cheese or tomatoes, please know cooking time may increase slightly.

NEXT INGREDIENT ... ENGLISH MUFFIN

[momtochloe]

We now interupt our program for this quick announcement . . . 

@walker  I am not a baker at all so I was intrigued when I copied over this recipe (back in 2014 and no of course I haven't tried it) but thought maybe folks would find it interesting as it had great reviews:

Microwave English Muffin Loaf

Grease a glass loaf pan (8.5X4.5) then sprinkle with cornmeal.

In a bowl put :

2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/2 T. sugar
1 t. salt
1/8 t. baking soda
Mix the dry ingredients.
Heat 1 cup milk and 1/4 c water to 120*-130*.
Add the wet to the dry ingredients. Stir well, put in the prepared pan, sprinkle with a little cornmeal on top. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.

Bake in the microwave for:

800 Watt Oven- 4:53

900 Watt Oven- 4:20

1000 Watt Oven- 3:54

1100 Watt Oven- 3:33

1200 Watt Oven- 3:15

After baking let rest for 5 minutes, cool on a wire rack.
The bread won't be brown, just slice and put in the toaster. Makes great cinnamon toast or sandwiches. I doubled the recipe and made 2 loaves today!!! Bake loaves one at a time if recipe is doubled.

2 pkgs. (3 oz) Orange Jell-O

1 3/4 cups boiling water

Dissolve 1 pkg. gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, stir in cold water.  Pour into a 6 cup ring mold.  Chill until set, but not firm.  Meanwhile dissolve remaining gelatin and CINNAMON in 3/4 cup boiling water.  Then blend in the applesauce and sour cream.  Chill until mixture starts to thicken.  Spoon into the salad mold; chill until firm-about 3 hours.  Unmold and garnish with salad greens.
