Ingredients

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Line a baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper sheets.
  • Using a measuring spoon, drop 1 tbsp piles of cheddar cheese about 2 inches apart (the cheese will spread so don’t put them too close) on the baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle garlic powder on each, just a pinch.
  • Bake for 5-8 minutes (may vary, keep a close eye on them). Remove from oven and lift parchment paper and place on cooling racks.
  • Dab tops of crisps with a paper towel to remove some of the excess grease (this is optional but if you don’t do it, your crisps may be soggy – still yummy, but soggy – if you didn’t cook them long enough).
  • Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Nancy Lee & Me - Pico De Gallo

Thank you Kevin for allowing us to share your Pico de gallo recipe. Look delicious.

Pico de gallo traces back to ancient Aztec cuisine and specifically from the Yucatan Peninsula, Sonora, Guanajuato, and Oaxaca regions of Mexico. It also goes by the name salsa bandera, which means flag salsa, because it depicts the green, white, and red colors of the Mexican national flag. This chunky salsa dish has a kick that brightens and freshens up any meal or snack table.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Servings: 8
Calories: 223kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes baked
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • dash salt
  • dash pepper
  • 16 slices pepperoni
  • 8 oz Mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 tbsp italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat your broiler to high. When your baked potato are cool enough to handle, make two cuts down the potato lengthwise so that you are left with three pieces. Discard the middle slice of the potato (or save for other use) so that you are left with just the ends of each potato. Use a spoon to slightly scrape some of the pulp out of each potato skin so that you have only about 1/4 inch of potato left.
  • In the microwave, melt 2 tablespoons of butter (30-40 seconds does the trick). Brush both sides of the potato skin with the melted butter. Lightly salt and pepper the potato skin and place in the broiler for 8 minutes, flipping the potatoes once after four minutes so that each side of the potato is able to crisp up.
  • Take the potato skins out of the broiler and top with shredded mozzarella cheese and two pepperoni slices per potato skin.
  • Sprinkle each potato skin with Italian seasoning.
  • Place the potato skins back in the broiler for another 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
  • Serve with pizza sauce or marinara sauce on the side.
