Recipes Cookbook - Blueberry Hand Pies

Blueberry Hand Pies | #Blueberry #Oatmeal #CrumbleBars #Ketobreakfastrecipes #Lowcarbblueberryrecipes #Ketoblueberrymuffins #Lowcarbbreakfastrecipes #Blueberryketorecipes #Ketoproteinbars #Easydessertrecipes #Blueberrypiecookies #Blueberrysconeseasy #Blueberrymuffinshealthy #Nobakeblueberrydessert #Blueberryhandpies







Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • 1 cup cold butter cubed
  • 2 ½ cups unbleached all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/3 cup ice water
  • Filling:
  • 1 ½ cups blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • Glaze:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, add the flour, salt, and sugar. Cube the cold butter into little cubes and add to the flour. Place the lid onto food processor and pulse until the butter is the size of peas.
  2. Fill a glass with water and add ice, then measure out 1/3 cup of cold water.
  3. Slowly add to the food process a tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between each addition. Once it’s all been added, pulse until the dough comes together. If it’s still dry, pulse a little longer until the dough forms. Divide the dough in half.
  4. Place a piece of Reynolds Wrap onto a clean surface and place half the dough onto the wrap. As you rap the dough, form it into a disc. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  5. Right before you pull the dough out of the refrigerator, prepare the blueberries. In a medium bowl toss the blueberries with sugar, corn starch, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  6. Make an egg wash by beating one egg a small bowl, set aside.
  7. Remove one disc of dough from the refrigerator. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of flour onto a clean surface. Roll out the dough until it’s ¼ inch thick. Using a 4-inch cookie cutter, cut out circles, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll the leftover dough back out and cut out more pieces. (I recommend rolling out the second disc of dough right before they are ready to go into the oven. If you choose to roll them out all at once, keep the pieces in the refrigerator until they are ready to bake.)
  8. Brush the edges of each circle with egg wash. Place 1-2 tablespoons of blueberries in the middle of one piece of dough. Place the second piece on top. Use a fork to seal the edges. Brush the tops with egg wash.
  9. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
  10. To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice together. Drizzle over the top of each pie. Let cool before serving.

Recipes Cookbook - Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken Potato Soup

Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken Potato Soup |#Cookingrecipes #Chickenpotatosoup #Potatosoupcrockpot #Slowcookerchickenpotatoes #Slowcookerchickenhealthy #Chickencrockpotrecipes #Souprecipesslowcooker #Sausagepotatosoup #Sausagesouprecipes #Cookingrecipes #Crockpotdinner #Crockpotslowcooker

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon chopped (could be low fat turkey bacon)
  • 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 cups sliced carrots
  • 2 cup sliced celery
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/3 cup fresh chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until brown, then add in the onions and garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes to soften. (If using turkey bacon, cook in a nonstick skillet.) Pour the onions mixture into the crock of a large 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Place the chicken breast on top of the onions. Add the sliced potatoes, carrots, celery, chicken broth, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Place the lid on the slow cooker. Turn on high and cook for 8-12 hours, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are extremely soft. (Check the chicken at 7 hours. If it's cooked through, you can remove the chicken and refrigerate it until the potatoes are tender and breaking apart. If you happen to have a slow cooker, you do not want to overcook the chicken.)
  4. Remove the chicken breast from the crock. Stir the potato soup vigorously to break up the potatoes and thicken the broth. (You can make it extra creamy by partially pureeing the soup with an immersion blender. Or place 1 1/2 cups of the soup in a regular blender, puree, then stir back into the soup.)
  5. Shred or chop the chicken and add it back to the slow cooker along with fresh parsley. Stir well. Serve warm topped with low-fat cheese if desired!
