Broccoli Cornbread with Cheese

1 . Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2 . Beat together eggs, cottage cheese, and melted butter in a large bowl until well combined. Stir in cornbread mix until just moistened. Fold in broccoli, onion, and 1 cup Cheddar cheese. Pour into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese.

3 . Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Winter Green Salad

1 . Mix collard greens, kale, romaine, cabbage, pear, onion, orange bell pepper, avocado, carrot, tomatoes, walnuts, and raisins together in a large bowl.

2 . Combine olive oil, vinegar, honey, oregano, chili powder, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a glass jar with a lid. Cover the jar with a lid and shake vigorously until dressing is well mixed. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat.

Cheesy Chicken and Potato Soup

1 . Heat bacon grease in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot grease until soft, about 4 minutes.

2 . Stir potato chunks with the onion. Pour chicken broth and water over the potato mixture. Bring the liquid to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes.

3 . Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir flour into the butter and cook, stirring constantly, until completely moistened, about 1 minute. Pour milk into the saucepan while continuing to stir; cook until thickened, about 3 minutes more. Sprinkle cheese over the milk mixture; cook and stir until the cheese is melted smoothly into the mixture, 2 to 3 minutes more.

4 . Stir the cheese mixture and cooked chicken into the liquid in the stockpot; cook just until the chicken is heated through, about 4 minutes.

Poppy seed cake with plums

1 . Sift the two types of flour and mix together. You can use only white wheat flour, but I still recommend using whole wheat, trellis flour. You will immediately feel the difference and appreciate the result.

2 . Divide the milk into two bowls. In one half whisk the egg with a fork. In the other crumble the yeast, mix it with a tablespoon of sugar and two spoons of flour. Stir and place in a warm place for about 20 minutes until a cap is formed.

3 . Meanwhile, prepare the zest by grating the rind of the lemon on a fine grater.

4 . Add salt, egg and milk mixture, yeast and odorless sunflower oil to the flour. Stir to combine.

5 . On a lightly floured table, knead the dough.

6 . You may need a little more flour, but don't add too much. The dough should be very soft and sticky. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes.

7 . Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Boil the milk with the sugar, vanilla sugar, cinnamon and zest.

8 . Add the ground poppy seeds (if you only have whole poppy seeds, you need to grind them in a coffee grinder). Stirring, warm it for a couple of minutes on a low flame. Then cool it down and add two spoons of rum. It is impossible to imagine baking in the Czech Republic without rum, it gives a unique flavor. If you don't want to buy a bottle of rum, I recommend at least using rum essence, diluted, for example, in vodka or, at worst, in water.

9 . Plums are washed, pitted, and cut into small pieces.

10 . Meanwhile, the dough had risen.

11 . Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 30 cm x 40 cm. Spread the poppy seed filling all over the surface. Sprinkle the plums on top, cut into small pieces. The amount of plums is approximate, oriented by your taste, but do not put too much.

12 . Roll up the dough with the filling as tightly as possible. Lightly press with the palms of your hands along the entire length, stretch it a little more. If the dough tears a little, just peel off the edge of the dough and stick it on the hole, the dough will rise and nothing will be visible.

13 . Butter the muffin tin. I also greased a silicone one just in case. Put our roll in it in a spiral and press down. Place in a warm place for 20 minutes to proof.

14 . Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40 minutes. When ready, leave the cupcake in the form for 15 minutes, then take it out by turning the form on a plate. Sprinkle the cooled cupcake with powdered sugar.

15 . I didn't wait for it to cool completely, because the smells in the kitchen are very tempting. Quickly make tea and coffee, cut off a piece and enjoy. The dough is so tender that I can't express it with words! And just look at the beauty inside!

16 . Bon appetit!

Honey Ginger Shrimp

1 . Heat the olive oil and red pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, ginger and honey; cook and stir until fragrant. Add the shrimp, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring as needed, until shrimp are pink and opaque. Serve immediately.

3 . Poke several holes in rib eye with a sharp knife. Rub butter mixture all over meat and season with salt and pepper. Place rib eye fat-side up in a roasting pan.

4 . Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

5 . Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and continue cooking until rib eye is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center will read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium.
