Chicken Cordon Bleu Pizza

I have mentioned before how much I love Chicken Cordon Bleu and any variation of it.  Once my husband brought home some leftover pizza from a family event I couldn't go to and I tried some Chicken Cordon Bleu pizza I was hooked.  I don't eat it that often because while my husband likes it, he's much more of a pepperoni fan, but occasionally I breakdown and have it.  It's Chicken Cordon Bleu and pizza - what's not to like?


Chicken Cordon Bleu Pizza
Ingredients:
1 batch pizza dough (here is my fave)
1 c. milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup Swiss Cheese
S&P to taste
1 cup diced or shredded cooked chicken
3/4 cup diced cooked ham
1 1/2 cups cheese blend for topping (I like to use mozzarella, swiss and cheddar for this pizza)
a dash of Italian seasoning

Directions:
Make the dough according to instructions

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour.  Cook for about 1 minute.  Add the milk, whisking constantly.  Bring to a low boil and immediately reduce the heat to low.  Simmer for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.  Add 1/2 cup Swiss cheese and stir until melted.  Season with S&P to taste

Top the prepared pizza dough with cheese sauce, then top with chicken, ham and pizza cheese mixture.  Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Bake in a 450 degree oven about 10-20 minutes, depending on the dough recipe used.

The Best Vanilla Cupcake Recipe

A fabulous vanilla cupcake recipe is something everyone needs. EVERY.ONE. Not just bakers. Not just parents that host a lot of kid parties. Everyone. I've tried several, and many have been phenomenal. Then I tried Amy Sedaris's after finding the recipe online, and it was above and beyond the best vanilla cupcake I've ever made. It was an easy batter to make, baked up beautifully, and most importantly - tasted amazing. Regardless if you have never made vanilla cupcakes and need a recipe to start with, or even if you think you have the best - give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed! Vanilla Cupcakes Ingredients: 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 cups flour 1 1/4 cups milk Directions: - Preheat oven to 375 degrees. - Mix butter at medium speed until smooth. Mix in sugar until well blended. - Add eggs, mixing until fully

Slow Cooker or Pressure Cooker Beef Chili

I don't experiment much with chili because it rarely goes well for me and my family. I've slowly adapted my chili recipe over the years, but I've still always used canned chili beans, with a flavored sauce. I've been wanting to try regular beans (whether canned or dried, I wasn't discerning, just didn't want the sauce), so off to the Googles I went rather than trying to recreate the spice blend from my normal canned beans. Because I was originally planning to make chili in the Instant Pot, that's where I focused my search. Thankfully the recipe I decided to try was adapted from a Slow Cooker recipe, because life got in my way and I wasn't able to make the chili the night before as planned, and I wouldn't have had time to use the pressure cooker with my schedule that day. What drew me to this recipe was the simplicity of the ingredients. And lack of jalapeno. Because somehow nearly every time I plan chili I forget to buy a jalapeno, even if it

White Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Filling

OK, so, while this recipe was the result of me literally quick thinking at the grocery store rushing around to pick up a few ingredients over Easter weekend, I came up with a fantastic cake filling, in my humble opinion.  I love the cake fillings at Costco and wanted to make a variation on that.  This is really semi-homemade but oh so good!  It's rich, creamy and decadent.  Even my husband loved it, and he's not really a cake fan.  It was so easy to make too! White Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Filling Ingredients: 1 package Jello Pudding - Cheesecake flavor 1 8-oz. container Whipped Cream Cheese, softened 1 8-oz, container Cool Whip, thawed 3 oz. White Chocolate, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla Directions: Beat softened cream cheese and vanilla with mixer until well blended and light (a few minutes). Beat in pudding mix until fully incorporated.
