      Mom's Comfort Food - Joyce Klynstra

      Favorites

      So much of what you’ll find in this book is kid-friendly. I asked my grandkids to tell me which recipes they like best. These are their picks.

      Asian Meatballs

      These meatballs make a nice appetizer or you can serve them over rice for dinner.

      2 pounds ground turkey

      ⅔ cup bread crumbs

      5 scallions, chopped

      2 eggs

      2 tablespoons soy sauce

      4 cloves garlic, chopped

      2 teaspoons ginger

      Salt and pepper to taste

      1½ cups teriyaki sauce (recipe follows)

      SERVES 8–10

      Preheat oven to 400°F.

      In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, scallions, eggs, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and salt and pepper. Mix well and form into small balls.

      Put on cookie sheet and bake about 15 minutes until meatballs are cooked through.

      Place in slow cooker and pour teriyaki sauce over meatballs.

      Heat in slow cooker on high for 20 minutes and serve. If you’re serving these at a party, you can switch the slow cooker to low and keep them hot until you’re ready to serve them.

      Teriyaki Sauce

      1 cup white sugar

      1 cup brown sugar

      1 cup soy sauce

      Mix sauce ingredients and pour over whatever you desire. For the Asian Meatballs, half of this recipe works great.

      Bleu Cheese Artichoke Appetizer

      When my husband worked for the National Guard Association, I always made sure the hospitality room at conferences had lots of homemade snacks. This was a favorite served with chips or bread. Double the recipe if you have a big group.

      2 ounces bleu cheese

      2 sticks of butter

      2 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained

      SERVES 10

      Melt butter but don’t boil. Crumble bleu cheese and stir into melted butter.

      Cut artichokes in half and add to butter mixture.

      Keep warm in slow cooker, fondue pot, or chafing dish.

      Veggie Pizza

      One of my daughter’s friends used to request this appetizer when he visited. This one’s for you, Howard! It’s a delicious way to get your veggies.

      2 tubes crescent rolls

      16 ounces cream cheese

      1 cup mayonnaise

      1 (1-ounce) package ranch dressing seasoning mix

      Chopped veggies, such as broccoli, cauliflower, green onions, shredded carrots, or any veggies you want to use.

      2 cups shredded Colby cheese

      Grape tomatoes, halved

      SERVES 10

      Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread crescent rolls on cookie sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.

      Mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing mix until combined and spread on cooled crust. Cover with vegetables and cheese.

      Cut in squares and put a grape tomato half on each piece.

      Chili con Queso

      This queso is always popular at a party. We ran out quickly at my grandson’s graduation open house. Preparing the chilis is a little labor-intensive, but it’s well worth the effort.

      24 Anaheim chilis

      4 medium Vidalia onions

      3 medium tomatoes

      1 pound Velveeta cheese, cubed

      6 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

      1½ cups half-and-half

      5 cloves garlic, minced

      SERVES 40

      Preheat broiler and line a large cookie sheet with foil. Cut chilis in half lengthwise; remove the stems and seeds. Place cut-side down on the prepared cookie sheet. Broil until the skins are blackened. If all the chilis don’t fit on one pan, repeat this step with the remaining chilis.

      Transfer charred chilis to a large paper bag, seal, and let steam for 10 minutes to soften skins.

      Remove from bag. Peel and discard chili skins. Place the chilis, onions, and tomatoes in a large food processor and run until all the vegetables are finely chopped. If you don’t have a large food processor, you can chop them manually. Set aside.

      In a large saucepan, melt the cheeses over medium-low heat. When cheeses are melted, stir in cream and cook, stirring until smooth. Stir in chilies, onion, tomatoes, and garlic. Cook until the queso is hot all the way through.

      Serve with chips or use to top off tacos or burrito bowls. You can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week or divide into small sealed containers and freeze for up to 6 months.

      Tip: If your grocery store is out of Anaheim chilis you can use 18 poblano chilis.

      Joy’s Olive Spread

      If you like olives, you will love this spread. Put on crackers, sandwiches, or bagels.

      1 (5¾-ounce) jar chopped salad olives

      1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

      ⅔ cup mayonnaise

      ¼ teaspoon black pepper

      ⅔ cup toasted chopped pecans

      MAKES 2½ CUPS

      Drain and reserve liquid from olives.

      Combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and pepper. Mix well. Add 3 tablespoons of liquid from olives.

      Fold in pecans and olives.

      Taco in the Round

      The friends that came to our hospitality room at National Guard Conferences always looked for this to be part of the party. Serve with corn chips.

      1 pound ground beef

      1 cup refried Beans (recipe page 124)

      2 Tablespoons homemade taco seasoning (recipe below)

      1 cup salsa

      1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

      ½ cup cottage cheese

      2 tablespoons sour cream

      1½ teaspoons chili powder

      Salt and pepper to taste

      8 ounce grated cheddar cheese

      Lettuce

      Tomato

      SERVES 10

      Brown ground beef, drain. Add refried beans and taco seasoning to beef. Spread on serving plate and cool.

      Spread salsa on ground beef.

      Mix cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, chili powder and salt and pepper with a mixer and spread over salsa.

      Top with lettuce, cheese and tomato. Serve with corn chips.

      Homemade Taco Seasoning

      2 tablespoons chili powder

      ½ teaspoon garlic powder

      ½ teaspoon onion powder

      ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper

      ½ teaspoon oregano

      1 teaspoon paprika

      1 tablespoon cumin

      2½ teaspoons salt

      1 teaspoons pepper

      Combine all ingredients. Mix well and store in tightly closed container. Use 2 tablespoons per pound of ground beef or to taste.
