There are so many sweets on the edible market that it’s nice to have a savory recipe as well. This is my all-time favorite comfort food recipe, with a kick, and a punch! P.S. Cheddar cheese is white.
Approximately 4 servings of one cup of pasta each
Ingredients
4 cups cooked macaroni (about 2 cups uncooked)
8 oz shredded cheddar (I use 4 oz Cabot extra sharp and 4 oz Cabot habanero cheddar, hence the kick)
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup skim milk
2 Tbsp grated onion
1 1/2 Tbsp melted medicated butter
1 egg slightly beaten
1/4 tsp pepper
3/4 cup corn, frozen or fresh
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1 Tbsp melted butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl mix together macaroni, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, skim milk, grated onion, medicated butter, corn, pepper, and egg.
- Coat a 2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray and fill with mixture from bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs and 1 Tbsp melted butter and sprinkle over macaroni.
- Cover and bake at 350©F for a half hour, then uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes or until it’s set.
Spinach (or Baby Kale) and Chevre Goat Cheese Frittata
Source: Janielle Hultberg, Private ChefNumber of servings depends on diameter of pan and number of slices cut
Ingredients
8 eggs
1/2 cup almond milk(regular or unsweetened not vanilla)
3 Tbsp extra virgin cannabis-infused olive oil or butter
6 sliced mushrooms (baby portabella, cremini, or button
1 large shallot, quartered and sliced
3 small clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped spinach (or baby kale)
1/3 cup soft goat cheese
3 Tbsp chopped red onions
Sea salt and pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat a skillet to medium-high. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to the hot skillet, then add shallot. Sauté for a minute or so. Then add the garlic.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5–10 minutes, until deep brown, to render out the moisture. Finally, add the spinach or kale to the skillet and sauté another 2–3 minutes.
- Transfer the veggies to a plate and wipe the skillet with a paper towel.
- Put the skillet back over high heat with 2 Tbsp olive oil. Mix eggs and milk with 1/2 tsp salt and fresh pepper to taste. Whisk until frothy.
- Briskly swirl the skillet around as you pour in the egg mixture — this creates a crust on the outer edge. Then add the mushroom and spinach mixture back to the skillet and crumble the goat cheese over the top.
- Remove from heat and place in the oven for 15–20 minutes until cooked through.
- Slide out of pan onto a cutting board and cut into wedges.
