Four Foods on Friday #52

Filed Under FFoF |

Here’ this week’s questions for Four Foods on Friday. If you’d like to play along, hop on over to Val’s place and post your answers on your blog!

#1. Name something you use cream cheese in/on.
A quick thing that my hubby LOVES (and me too) is getting that pressed beef like Carl Buddig and putting a little bit of cream cheese in the middle, rolling it up and sticking it with a toothpick for a quick little appetizer. We both grew up on it.

#2. Do you use yogurt in any recipes?
NO! I mean no. I’m not a yogurt fan. Hubby eats strawberry yogurt with Kashi’s Mountain Medley on top for some added fiber and fruit.

#3. Macaroni salad. What do you like/put in yours?
I don’t like it so I couldn’t tell you but I can say that U-Top-It in Kona makes theirs with a bit of ranch flavor (like maybe some Hidden Valley Ranch powder mixed in) and my husband’s eyes rolled in the back of his head with joy. So take that for what it’s worth!

#4. Share a recipe that you use sour cream in.
I don’t like sour cream at all so instead of being a smarty pants and say “put sour cream on nachos” or something, I’ll give you a cream cheese recipe. When we did fondue recently I did stuffed mushrooms by doing the following…Take a block of softened cream cheese, a small can of lump crab meat and a can of tiny shrimp, minced garlic and green onions and mix together. Make a small batch of plain pancake batter and add Old Bay seasoning to taste. Get some button mushrooms and remove the stems and hollow out the center with the tip of a spoon. Fill the mushrooms with the cream cheese filling, dunk it in the pancake batter and then into a pan of hot oil until the batter is golden brown. Even if you don’t like mushrooms (like me) you’ll LOVE these!! (This Old Bay or cajun pancake batter is the perfect coating for chicken, fish and shrimp too!)

I really like the sound of your stuffed mushrooms. Thanks for the recipe. I can’t wait to try it but without the seafood, I’m allergic.

Old Bay seasoning? Are you originally from Maryland? LOL Those stuffed mushrooms sounds tres, tres tasty!!

LOL Nope, just recently discovered it since Emeril’s “essence” was out. Any ol’ cajun or blackening seasoning will do though. And yes they are YUUUUMMY!

yummy It seems like I only get those cheese wrapped with meat treats during the holidays.

Hubby loved mushrooms until they started not liking him and making him sick. He sure would have loved those.
Thanks for playing FFOF!

I also thought you were a Marylander when I saw the Old Bay mentioned! I think it’s almost a law here that you have to have it in your spice cupboard.

We eat your beef and cream cheese snack in our house, too. We chop up the beef, add some green onions, and mix it with the cream cheese. Then we put it on top of crackers. Yum!

I need to print your recipe to use sometime with our Fondue Pot that we received for a gift and have only used once. (I know…that’s terrible)
