Chocolate Kalakand #FoodBloggerLove

February 11, 2019 by Amanda 2 Comments

Chocolate Kalakand – a delicious Indian sweet made with paneer cheese.

Chocolate Kalakand | www.craftycookingmama.com

I’m so excited to participate in the annual #FoodBloggerLove event for the third time! This is such a fun event for bloggers! We secretly get assigned another blogger with the goal of sharing a little love. This year again, I’ve been introduced to a blogger I haven’t met yet…yay! I’ve gotten to learn a little about this blogger and I also get to share their recipes & story with my readers. Total win for all!

This year #FoodBloggerLove has introduced me to another awesome food blogger – Kalyani from Sizzling Tastebuds. Hi Kalyani ♥

Kalyani is a food blogger from Mumbai. She enjoys Indian street food as well as Middle eastern and Mexican food.

Kalyani loves baking and cooking for her family and re-inventing high-carb food into everyday, healthy food. She is vegetarian and on her way to becoming a vegan. She prefers baking with gluten-free or whole-wheat flours, low sugar and no eggs.

Kalyani is not into overly sweet desserts…but I enjoyed browsing thru her desserts and knew I had to try one!

Then I found it. Chocolate! Her recipe for Chocolate Kalakand was screaming my name 🙂

Kalakand is a popular Indian dessert. I’ve tasted it before and at times have found it overly sweet. Kaylani’s recipe keeps the focus on chocolate with minimal added sugar.

This Kalakand comes together quickly. My mini-food processor made easy work of grating the cheese and chocolate. Prepare over medium/low heat and stay with the pan. After adding the chocolate, melt and stir until everything is combined. If you go to far things will start to separate.

I used a 86% Cacao Chocolate – the flavor of the Kalakand was perfectly intense. Use whatever chocolate you enjoy most.

The texture of this Kalakand is interesting. Paneer does not melt smooth, so you will bites of the grated cheese. It’s almost a mix between fudge and a brownie.

If you can’t find paneer, you can sub queso fresco – they’re just about the same thing. Or try making it at home – you’ll be surprised how easy it is to make! Paneer has been known to start many cheesemakers journeys : )

I had so much fun browsing thru Kaylani’s recipes and you will to! Head over to her blog and check it out!

Rich & Creamy Mochaccino

January 23, 2019 by Amanda Leave a Comment

This post is sponsored by Left Field Farms but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Today I’m sharing a lush & creamy mochaccino recipe that you can easily make at home. Plus I’m introducing you to Left Fields coffee creamers!

Rich & Creamy Mochaccino | www.craftycookingmama.com

All things are possible with coffee….and everyday starts with coffee!!!

I keep breakfast coffee simple. Just coffee & creamer for me, thank you very much.

Left Field Farms Coffee Creamer | www.craftycookingmama.com

Sometimes, later in the day, I might fancy myself a bit of a coffee treat…

Coffeehouses are so overpriced – I try to visit them only on occasion. I have fun creating some of my favorite coffee specialty drinks in my home – and it’s surprisingly simple as well!

I recently discovered Left Field Farms coffee creamers and I’m loving adding these creamers to my coffee!

Left Field Farms coffee creamer is simple, delicious and Non-GMO Project Verified. Left Field Farms coffee creamer is made with real cream, real sugar and real milk.

Left Field Farms was created by a collection of like-minded farmers, thinkers and doers that stand for good food, healthy communities and fresh ideas in agriculture.

Left Field Farms coffee creamers contain no artificial flavors and are made with real cream and sugar. They’re cows are given only non-GMO feed and are never treated with rBST.

You’ll find Left Field Farms coffee creamers in the dairy aisle at your local Walmart – grab a bottle or two! You’ll be glad you did ♥

You can easily mix this mochaccino up. Heat up some good & strong coffee, chocolate, cinnamon and Left Field Farm creamer in a saucepan until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Pour into your favorite coffee cup, top with some whipped cream & enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by ♥

Old Fashioned Fried Cornmeal Mush

January 17, 2019 by Amanda Leave a Comment

Old Fashioned Cornmeal Mush. A simple comfort food with endless variations. Great breakfast option for those with food allergies – no gluten, dairy or eggs!

Old Fashioned Cornmeal Mush | www.craftycookingmama.com

Mush. I’m guessing most folks have heard of it before – I know it’s not just a Northeast thing. I’ve had it down South before – but the rest of the country – y’all are gonna have to let me know!

Mush was definitely poor people food. It was a way to fill your belly while food was scarce or money was low. When times were extra rough it was served by itself as a meal. It was regularly served as an accompaniment to dinners or alongside eggs & breakfast foods to stretch a meal.

I love mush for breakfast. It’s one of those simple comfort foods I crave on occasion. I like it fried in butter and topped with real maple syrup. Throw some breakfast sausage on the side and breakfast is complete.

As I was making this simple dish I got to thinking. Mush is a great breakfast for those with food allergies. No gluten, no dairy, no eggs. It can be vegan if you pan fry it with oil. Food allergy friendly for all ♥

It’s certainly not a pancake – but it makes a nice breakfast treat with maple syrup.

Simmering cornmeal in a pot sounds simple enough – but – keep it low. This mixture burns and sticks easily. Also make sure to add it to just simmering water – cornmeal thickens and explodes quickly. If you’ve never made it before, I suggest using a non-stick pot for the first time.

Fry slices of mush up with butter or bacon fat. I cook it over low heat until golden brown on both sides.

There’s plenty of room for creativity here. I included the basic, old-fashion recipe – but you could definitely add numerous ingredients to make this a sweet or savory dish.

Enjoy!

“Fiesta” Pasta Bake

December 29, 2018 by Amanda Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Food Lion for IZEA Worldwide. All opinions are 100% mine.

This “Fiesta” Pasta Bake is a family favorite! This meal comes together simply & quickly – plus feeds a family for less than $10!

Fiesta Pasta Bake | Dinner Comes together quickly & deliciously with this budget friendly, filling meal | www.craftycookingmama.com

Today I’m sharing one of my favorite quick, delicious and cheap meals. Dinner doesn’t have to be a major production each night!

Gone are the days where I shop all over town for the best grocery deals. I just don’t have the time or energy for it anymore.

I used to go grocery shopping 3-4 times a week. I’d shop different stores for weekly sales and stores that had better everyday prices on specific items.

I realized a few things.

Fiesta Pasta Bake | Dinner Comes together quickly & deliciously with this budget friendly, filling meal | www.craftycookingmama.com

Most importantly, I was spending way too much time grocery shopping. Something I used to enjoy doing became a dreaded task.

I could save a dollar or two here or there – but at the end of the week – factoring in time and energy – how much was I really saving?

After all was said and done – nothing.

Then I found a one stop kinda place.

I’ve found Food Lion to be the best overall store for my weekly grocery shopping.

It’s easy to save at Food Lion! Between their everyday low prices, weekly specials, BOGO’s, Personalized MVP offers & coupons, Shop & Earn, Freshness Guarantee and whatever coupons I casually clip – Food Lion reigns superior. If you’re like me, and can’t keep up with weekly circulars, Food Lion is still easy to shop. They have in-store signs everywhere leading you to sales and best prices!

I’ll admit, for the most part, I’m not a brand snob. I’ve come to trust and rely on Food Lion’s private label store brand. Most of the products I happily stock up on (pasta, sauces, beans, salsa, canned goods galore) save me almost a whopping fifty percent! Same quality as the name brands…just different label.

I LOVE Food Lion’s fresh meat selection! The quality, the selection and prices are awesome! As a weekly shopper I’ve learned to stock up & freeze during sales – it keeps my budget rounded all month long.

The best example of everyday savings is how I easily feed my family of four with a meal under $10. A delicious and hearty meal can effortlessly be made any night of the week while on a budget when shopping at Food Lion.

This Fiesta Pasta Bake is one of my favorite examples. A handful of simple ingredients come together quickly for a fun & tasty dinner any night of the week.

I toss in whatever ground meat is cheapest – be it beef, chicken or turkey. Or I use leftovers if I have them. Shredded chicken, pork, beef – they are delicious in this casserole!

Oh, this meal is great meatless as well. You can skip the meat and add an extra can of black beans & corn.

This meal can be easily dressed up with fresh produce…cilantro, avocado slices, dices tomatoes, shredded lettuce, guacamole…if it’s in the budget. The family loves it either way!

Don’t forget to top it all off with a generous dollop of sour cream!

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by!

In the meantime, brown, crumble & drain ground beef.

Hungarian Style Pork Paprikash

November 21, 2018 by Amanda Leave a Comment

Thank you to Smithfield Prime Fresh Pork for sponsoring this post! As always, all thoughts & opinions are my own.

Get ready for some cold winter comfort food!!! Tender Pork Chunks in a Rich, Creamy, Flavorful Sauce. This Hungarian Style Pork Paprikash is a hearty meal that comes together quickly & easily.

As the days get colder and the nights grow longer my taste buds change.My mind and body are craving some serious comfort foods. Soups, stews, meat – stick to your bones kinda food.

This isn’t out of the ordinary. It’s a primitive instinct for those that face long, cold winters. Our bodies want fats and protein to keep us strong and healthy and during the winter months. Although these days our diets keep us quite prepared for cold weather, this wasn’t always the case. Once upon a time, our ancestors had to face winter without the “basics” we have. Their food would be scarce during winter months, triggering them to bulk up to survive the brutal cold.

It’s amazing, after so much time and change, that us cold weather dwellers still have the same instincts.

I surely embrace it.

My Dutch oven gets impressive usage year around – but it’s serious time to shine is during the fall and winter months. Braised meats, soups, stews, goulash – that’s what we’re cooking up.

I’ve already proclaimed my love for pork, more than once, on this blog. It’s my favorite meat – so flavorful, so juicy, so versatile. Each cut is wonderfully distinctive in flavor & texture, and Smithfield Prime Fresh Pork has always been my go-to!

Smithfield Prime is a superior, quality line of all-natural fresh pork with enhanced color and marbling. You can be confident that you’ll be serving an impressive & delicious meal with tender & juicy pork when cooking with Smithfield.

Smithfield Prime Fresh Pork is available in a wide variety of fresh cuts, including tenderloins, back ribs, spareribs, boneless and bone-in chops, butts and roasts. These cuts can be cooked whole or just as easily be sliced or cubed for faster cooking – which is key during the busy holiday season!

When you start with a high-quality protein, you don’t need to do too much to have a restaurant-quality meal, and this Pork Paprikash is a perfect example of simple pork perfection. The most work involved here is some cutting & dicing. Everything gets browned & sautéed and simmered until tender.

Feel free to change this up to your tastes too. I love mushrooms – so I add them to just about everything. If you don’t share my shroom love, skip them. Add a few more bell peppers, hot peppers, extra onions – whatever you like.

I usually serve this over buttered egg noodles. I’ll cook up some spaetzle when I’m feeling extra loving or ambitious. Potatoes are always great base too!

Cheers to the winter!

Thanks for stopping by!

Introducing My Pups & Companion Pet Products + A Giveaway

November 16, 2018 by Amanda 20 Comments

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Food Lion for IZEA Worldwide. All opinions are 100% mine.

Today I’m introducing you to my pack of pups & Companion pet products at Food Lion. Oh – and a giveaway!!! Read on and enter for you chance to win 1 of 2 – $50 Gift Cards from Food Lion!

We have quite a few mouths to feed in this family. Although there is only four of us humans – we have three dogs and too many chickens to mention.

We have three large dogs, and I often have an orphan pup who I foster until they find their forever home. That’s a lot of dog food and a whole lot of dog treats.

Feeding my pack gets expensive. My oldest boy has some dietary restrictions – so his food costs add up real quickly. I’m always on the search for an affordable & high quality food for my other pups. Oh, and dog treats. My good boys need all the treats!

I was recently introduced to Companion pet products at Food Lion. Companion is Food Lion’s line of high-quality pet products – it’s the new face of the original Home 360 Pet brand. You’ll find all you need for the furry or feathered friends in your life with Companion products. There’s food, toys, treats, and accessories for your cat, dog and domestic or wild birds.

Companion pet products have the same nutrition and ingredients compared to National Brands, but at the lowest price in the category. You can grab it while doing the rest of your shopping at Food Lion!

As always, all of Food Lion’s private brand items have a double your money back guarantee. There’s absolutely no reason not to try Companion Pet Products! You can learn more here.

Let me formally introduce you to my boys! This mama has got to brag a little ♥

This is Clutch – he’s an 11 year old American Bulldog. He was a rescue, found 10 years ago living in a car at a junkyard in Philly.

This guy made us fall in love with him quickly – and the breed. He’s a great family dog, a total snuggle love bug – but a diligent watchdog. When he was younger he played hard and rested harder. These days he’s in retirement mode and spends most of his day moving from couch to bed or harassing our UPS guy from the front door.

Next up is my Dozer. He’s also an American Bulldog. We got him as a puppy when my youngest daughter was about 1 – 1/2 years old. The two of them have been growing up together and the past 3 – 1/2 years have been a riot! So much fun! Dozer is over 80 pounds – but seriously thinks he’s still a 10 pound pup. Dozer is a very high energy dog – we had to get another dog to keep up with him!

Last, but not least, is Tank. We adopted him two years ago during a local “Clear the Shelter” event. This bighead mushface is a total mutt – some American Bulldog, some Pitbull, maybe some English Bulldog – who knows!?! He’s a big drooly lovebug who makes our family and pack complete.

A few words about the “Bully Breed” in general. These dogs have gotten a bad reputation over the years due to mistreatment by their humans. These dogs are born without a mean bone in their body. They yearn to be a part of the family, to love, to serve and protect.

When people visit my home they always comment on how well behaved our dogs are and how well they listen. It’s called love & training.

These big boys eat A LOT. I’m thankful to find food & treats that are nutritious, doggie delicious and affordable!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
