Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Secret Ingredient

February 24, 2015 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

Cookies

I know we all have our own favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies and I know I have been posting new recipes with you as well, but I was on a quest to keep making chocolate chip cookies until I found the best chew chocolate chip recipe out there.  From my experience, it is easy to have a chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe when they come out of the oven but the real test of a chewy chocolate chip cookie is the next day, are your cookies still moist and chewy?

Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon

January 15, 2015 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

Back in September I attended a social gathering and met some really amazing women.  I was asked if I would be opened to hosting a gathering at my house to watch the bachelor and of course I said yes.  When Monday came and I realized it was time for the show, I also realized I needed a great appetizer to go with the show and knew exactly what to make.

This recipe for dates wrapped in bacon was introduced to me by my friend Susan, she and I taught some cooking classes back in October and she made this dish as an appetizer and I was sold!  If you are on a budget, stuff the dates with walnuts, if you can splurge a little use pecans and if you want to go all out try blue cheese.  For my party I used pecans because I already had them in my house and I didn’t want to go out and buy walnuts.

You are going to start with dates, that are pitted which leaves a hole in the date, then you insert your filling, for this recipe I used pecans

Dates and nut

then you wrap the date in a small piece of bacon, I cut my bacon into 4th’s and you sprinkle some brown sugar on top

bacon wrapped

you then put them on a baking sheet, lined with foil and I ended up placing the dates on a rack

brown sugar

bake for 20 minutes or until the bacon is cooked through and remove from the oven

on tray

if you don’t put the dates wrapped in bacon on a rack, they will cook in the oil and be super greasy as you can see from my first go around and even though I over cooked them, they were still amazing!

here they are on a plate, these are the bacon wrapped dates from the rack

Dates and bacon

Everyone loved this appetizer, let’s face it, who wouldn’t…you get the sweetness from the dates, a secret surprise middle and the salty bacon on the exterior…hello yummy!

Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon

Ingredients

  • Pitted Dates (plan on 3 per person)
  • Pecans, enough to stuff your dates
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 package Bacon, each piece sliced into 3-4 pieces

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375, line your pan with aluminum foil and place your baking racks in each pan
  2. In each date, put a piece of pecan in the date, this is very messy and sticky so you can wear gloves if needed.
  3. Wrap a piece of bacon around the date and place on your rack.
  4. Sprinkle brown sugar over the dates and bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.
  5. Serve warm. Enjoy!
