Leftover Stuffing “Pancake” Bites Recipe

November 2, 2020 by Rachel 14 Comments

The holiday season is nearly upon us. And celebrating with close family and friends in our circle has never been more important. One of the ways that my family and I like to celebrate is with food. There’s something extremely satisfying about making and sharing a meal together. Even better? Sharing all of the leftovers and thinking up fun and creative meals together. My favorite creation is my recipe for Leftover Stuffing “Pancake” Bites!

Making life easier

I try to make things as easy as possible when prepping for the holidays. I do all my holiday shopping at Walmart to stock up on all of our favorites. It’s easy to feed the whole family on a budget! We stock up on Stove Top® Stuffing, Heinz® Gravy, Oscar Mayer® Bacon, and even our Thanksgiving turkey.

LEFTOVER STUFFING “PANCAKE” BITES RECIPE

In addition to one-stop shopping, buying extra is key to a low-stress holiday season. You can avoid having to run out for any last-minute items by buying extras just in case you burn the rolls in the oven (I may be speaking from experience, friends!). Added bonus? If you make too much, you’ll have enough for those leftover recipes!

What you’ll need for Leftover Stuffing “Pancake” Bites!

The recipe itself is super easy, which you’ll totally appreciate after making a big holiday dinner. The ingredients consist mostly of leftovers. The other items will be ingredients you have on hand anyways (such as eggs). Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 cups leftover prepared STOVE TOP Turkey Stuffing Mix
  • 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 6 slices OSCAR MAYER Naturally Hardwood Smoked Bacon
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup of leftover cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest or orange juice
  • ½ cup leftover turkey breast, shredded 
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) HEINZ Homestyle Roasted Turkey Gravy, for dipping
  • sprig of parsley as garnish (optional)

Making your Leftover Stuffing “Pancake” Bites!

Every single time I make these “pancake” bites the house smells absolutely incredible! Luckily, they don’t take long to make, so you won’t have to wait long to indulge.

Here are the instructions:

  1. Add stuffing mix, mashed potatoes and eggs to a large bowl. Stir ingredients together with a large spoon until well mixed. 
  2. Cook bacon according to the package directions (or air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes) and then set aside.
  3. Warm 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or flattop over medium heat. 
  4. Using an ice cream scoop or ¼-cup measuring cup, scoop stuffing mixture and drop onto the skillet. Fry for 3 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Continue the process of adding oil and scoping stuffing mixture until all the pancake bites are cooked. 
  5. Heat leftover cranberry sauce in a small saucepan. Add orange zest (or juice) and simmer until heated through.
  6. Assemble pancake bites. Add half a slice cooked bacon to the top of one pancake bite, and top with some shredded turkey (either reheated or cold). Place a scoop of cranberry mixture on top. 
  7. Serve with gravy and enjoy!

Instant Pot Copycat Starbucks Cake Pops Recipe

October 28, 2020 by Rachel 23 Comments

Hiiiiii… my name is Rachel and I am kinda, sorta, obsessed with cake pops. It’s true. Once, my ‘true love’ was cupcakes. But nowadays it’s those perfect little bite-sized perfections of dessert — cake pops. And, of course, I love my local pop-maker, I sometimes just like to spoil my kids with this homemade Instant Pot Copycat Starbucks Cake Pops Recipe.

Instant Pot Copycat Starbucks Cake Pops Recipe

Why the instant pot for cake pops?

If you’ve experimented with the Instant Pot you’ll know — pressure cooking any food — entree or dessert — makes it super moist and extra delicious. Pressure cooking holds the moisture of food and creates an extra boost of flavor. I could seriously use my Instant Pot for everything.

pop

Also, cake pops are expensive. Like, they can be really expensive — especially with three kids who want (at least) one! But making them in the Instant Pot? So incredibly inexpensive. I mean, I more than get my use out of my Instant Pot, especially with all of the dinners I make in it. But the other items, I mostly have on hand (minus the sticks

What you’ll need for this recipe:

For the cake:

1 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups flour
1 cup milk

For the chocolate coating:

cake pop process

6 blocks of Almond Bark (12 oz)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 container cream cheese frosting
1 drop pink gel food coloring
70 Treat sticks
1 package white round sprinkles

How to make Instant Pot Copycat Starbucks Cake Pops

How to make the cake

  1. In a large bowl, beat together your sugar and butter. Mix until incorporated.
  2. Next add in your oil, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Mix until incorporated.
  3. While alternating, in your flour and milk a little bit each time. Mix until incorporated.
  4. Prepare your instant pot spring form cake pan by placing Parchment paper on the flat plate. Put the springform pan on top of it and close shop. Remove any remaining parchment that is sticking out using scissors or ripping it off. Spray with cooking spray, or grease with butter.
  5. Fill your pan 3/4 of the way with the batter.
  6. Fill your instant pot with 2 cups of water. Placed the trivet inside and place your cake on top of the trivet.
  7. Close the lid on your instant pot and make sure that the ceiling valve is closed and facing away from you. Set your instant pot to 45 minutes. 
  8. Once your instant pot has finished cooking, do a manual released by pulling the ceiling valve towards you to remove any pressure.
  9. With a towel or hot pads, pull the trivet out of the instant pot using the two handles. Transfer to cooling sheet and allow the cake to completely cool.

How to make the chocolate coating

  1. While your cake is cooling, add in a small bowl together your Almond bark and 1 tablespoon of oil. Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring each time. Make sure that your chocolate is completely melted.
  2. Add one small drop of pink food coloring to your chocolate mixture. Stir well.
  3. Add your cake to a large bowl as well as your frosting. Mix well.
  4. Using a cookie scoop, or eyeballing the size ball that you want, using the palm of your hand, form a round ball. Line each one of your cake balls on a cookie sheet.
  5. Once this is done, transfer your cake balls to the freezer for about 15 minutes too hard and slightly and cool.
  6. After the 15 minutes, remove the cake balls. Taking a treat steak, dip it slightly in your chocolate. This will help it stay in the cake pot.
  7. Dip your cake pop in the chocolate and cover it completely. Give it a few seconds to drip off any excess chocolate into the bowl.
  8. I used a cake pop decorating stand, but you can use even a block of Styrofoam to place the stick in to stand on its own while the chocolate dries and solidifies. Immediately add your sprinkles before the chocolate dries.
  9. Continue and repeat until you have made all your cake pops! Enjoy!

October 23, 2020 by Rachel 13 Comments

Y’all know how much I adore my Instant Pot. I mean, these meals are so. darn. easy! If it weren’t for my Instant Pot, I swear I wouldn’t want to cook at all. And this Instant Pot Dr. Pepper Pulled Chicken is such a delicious — and easy! — meal to add to your weeknight dinner menu.

Instant Pot Dr. Pepper Pulled Chicken Recipe

Why Dr. Pepper?

Dr. Pepper has such an interesting flavor. And, if you’ve tried beer can chicken before, you know that the flavors when adding these kinds of liquids can be amazing! My family is absolutely obsessed with this Dr. Pepper Pulled Chicken. We make little slider sandwiches with the chicken. But it can be added to a salad, too!

Instant Pot Dr. Pepper Pulled Chicken Recipe

What You’ll Need

You really do not need much to make this recipe. Besides the Instant Pot, you’ll need the following:

  • 4 pounds skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 (18 ounce) bottle of sweet barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup of Dr. Pepper

That’s it!

How to make Instant Pot Dr. Pepper Pulled Chicken

  1. Pour ¼ cup of Dr. Pepper into the pot of the electric pressure cooker. Place the chicken thighs over the Dr. Pepper.
  2. Stir together the remaining Dr. Pepper and barbecue sauce. Pour over the chicken thighs.
  3. Cover the electric pressure cooker and set the valve to sealing. Program for manual or “pressure cook” for 20 minutes.
  4. When the cooking cycle is complete, allow the electric pressure cooker to naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes before a quick release of the remaining pressure. 
  5. Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and using two forks, shred the chicken, removing any bones.
  6. Add about 1 cup of the sauce from the pot to the chicken, coating the chicken but not making it soupy.

Witches Brew Bark Kids Halloween Recipe

October 9, 2020 by Rachel 22 Comments

The Spooky Season is here! And I am here for the Spooky Season! I am, admittedly, not a super “Yay, Halloween!” person. I mostly feel like adults tend to overdo this holiday and get more into it than the kids. That being said, it has recently come to my attention that my nearly 8-year-old is VERY into Halloween. Thus, I suppose, I am very into Halloween on his behalf. So we’ve been doing all things Halloween around here. One of those things? Getting crafty with this Witches Brew Bark Kids Halloween Recipe!

Witches Brew Bark Kids Halloween Recipe

My kids are basically obsessed with anything creepy and spooky these days. We watch The Nightmare Before Christmas for 6-months out of the year. Ya know, because it’s basically a Halloween and Christmas movie all in one. So we basically are living all things funky in this house.

Why we get crafty!

Let’s be real — kids don’t need a lot to get excited. Something as easy as a quick and simple Halloween craft is enough to please them for days! I tend to stock up on craft supplies at the end of every season, knowing that the following year we will use them.

Witches Brew Bark Kids Halloween Recipe

What You’ll Need

This recipe is easy. If you’ve ever made chocolate bark before, you’ll know that it’s simple and you can get super creative. For this recipe in particular, you’ll need an assortment of chocolate melts. I buy my Wilton Candy Melts on Amazon. They’re inexpensive and ship free with Prime! For this I use lavender, turquoise, and lime green.

I also recommend using gummy worms (because they are ‘creepy’), candy eyeballs, and candy corn. You’ll need a baking sheet, three microwave safe bowls, and parchment paper. That’s all you need for this easy peasy recipe!

  4. Continue pouring the chocolate onto the baking sheet. Use a toothpick to swirl the chocolates around.

  5. Once all the chocolate has been poured, gently press the candies into the chocolate.

  6. Place baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20-minutes to cool. Then remove the chocolate from the parchment paper backing. Use both hands to break apart chocolate into bark-sized pieces.
