On My Nose: Savory Garlic Cooking Creme On Sweet Corn

Hey, here's that savory garlic cooking creme again.

Yes, I am still trying to find ways to use this cooking creme.

Just look what I did....

It is bar-b-que time, right?

Isn't corn on the cob a bar-b-que food?

I smeared savory garlic cooking creme on my sweet corn.

Added salt and pepper....

Was it good? It was great!

Just make sure you have a napkin close by because you will get the cooking creme on your nose, your chin, and fingers.

Philadelphia savory garlic cooking creme will be put on the table every time we eat sweet corn.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."

Galatians 6:9-10

It is sometimes discouraging to continue to do right and receive no word of thanks or see no touchable results. But continue challenging your ways of doing right, keep moving forward by showing goodness toward your friends and family. God challenges us to keep on doing good and to trust in Him for results. In due time, we will reap a huge harvest of blessing. Do not let the rain get in your way, it is only wet for a little while. Life is a continuous challenge, don't be afraid to take them on, make the challenges work in your favor. Trust in God....

Top-Notch Experiment: Creamy Garlic Potato Soup

Does't that look delicious?

I am very pleased with the way this turned out.

Another top-notch experiment.

Last week I posted a recipe using the Sana Fe flavor Philadelphia cooking creme. I also had savory garlic waiting in my frig.

This recipe is linked to Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. There is some great stuff over there, make sure you check it out.

I had to come up with an idea to use this cooking creme flavor.

I know it is nearly summer and I shouldn't be thinking about soups. I should be focusing on grilling, summer time salads, rhubarb (coming soon), and keeping things cool.

But, if you make this soup, you will not be disappointed. Full of flavor, creamy, and everything a soup should be.

I used an all-beef smoked sausage in this soup because some of this is going to my grandmother and she is allergic to pork.

I know she will love this soup, and I will take it in little containers for her to keep in her freezer.

This recipe is linked to Mandy's Recipe Box.

Since this is my own recipe, I'm going to supply my ingredients and steps as I created it.

Creamy Garlic Potato Soup

1 pkg. all-beef smoked sausage (Hillshire Farm), sliced and diced

1 c. chopped onion

1 tsp. celery salt

ground black pepper

1/2 tsp ground thyme

Add spices to sausage and onion. Saute until onion is transparent, set aside.

8 small/medium potatoes, peeled and diced

2 (26 oz.) Swanson chicken broth

Boil potatoes in chicken broth until tender. About 10 minutes. Add sausage mix to potatoes (I used a slotted spoon).

2 c. milk

1 Philadelphia savory garlic cooking creme

Whisk together. Slowly add milk mixture to simmering potatoes and sausage while stirring.

1 c. shredded pepper-jack cheese

3 TBS butter

Bring to a simmer and add cheese and butter. Stir until melted.

Serve in bowls topped with seasoned croutons and fresh chives.

"Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God - Children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

John 1:12-13

Through faith in Christ, this new birth changes us from the inside out - rearranging our attitudes, desires, and motives. Have you asked Christ to make you a new person? Being a new person will allow a fresh start, motivate you to continue forward, and allow you to not hold fear.

Hot, Hot, Hot: Five Chip Cookies

I was so impressed with these cookies, and I had to share all of my pictures.

I fetched this recipe from Tina, at Mommy's Kitchen, and since Blogger was down for 48 hours, I used my time wisely and baked.

I really wish these could have made it to Caden's bake sale that The Better Baker was providing.

Sometimes I wish I could arrange the days of the week to suit ME. I would like today to be Thursday. I would like tomorrow to be Monday. And three days from now I would like it to be Sunday.

Wouldn't that be great?

We would be able to get everything done on time, every time....

I didn't have five different chips on hand, but I had four. I thought that would be close enough to make these delicious cookies.

I had monster cookie mix chips, peanut butter, milk chocolate, and white.

The message boards on Facebook concerning these cookies were hot, hot, hot....Everyone was getting in on the conversation. I am so glad I chose this recipe to use during my down-time.

And if you get bored with my pictures, you can just skip to the recipe.

The pictures turned out great and I had to share them all.

I did make a slight change to this recipe. I cut back on the amount of peanut butter. This cookie is truly amazing, and has been added to my favorites.

Five (Four) Chip Cookies

1 c. butter, softened

1/2 c. peanut butter

1 c. sugar

2/3 c. packed light brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 c. all-purpose flour

1 c. old-fashioned oats

2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

2/3 c. each milk chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate, peanut butter, white chocolate, and butterscotch.

In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chips.

Drop by rounded TBS (large) 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking stones. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 14 - 17 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool for a few minutes before removing to wire racks. Yield: 4 doz.

"When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On arriving, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed. For he vigorously refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ."

Acts 18:27-28

What a great gift Tina has shared. As it often happens, qualities sometimes cause conception because of jealousy, pride, or other problems. Be glad for Tina's gift, but always remember that the gift is given to bring honor to her. Use the gift, but more than that, praise the giver of the gift. Thank you Tina.
