I'm idea fishing for using extra cream cheese mixture

Last night I wanted some spicy stuff to go with my beers. I also wanted to play with fire (grill) and make a mess (kitchen).

I think the vessel peppers were anchos.

I stuffed them with a mix of...

Cream cheese, jalapenos, frozen mixed vegetables (corn, carrots, beans, peas, cauliflower), grilled chicken breast, green onion, shredded cheddar, shredded jack, some plops of El Yucateco chipolte hot sauce, salt and pepper.

Then I sealed the open parts with canned biscuits rolled out.

Baked it until the biscuit stuff was done.

They were DELISH!!!!

I digress. I started the cream cheese mix with 3 packages of cream cheese. After using what I needed to stuff 8 peppers, I still have 2-3 times what I needed left over.

I've been sneaking spoonfuls all day. Oh! and spread on celery.. *drool*

I have to do my sourdough today so I may experiment with something a girl called "pop-its" or something similar. She made biscuits with stuffing in the middle. Gawd, I loved seeing those in lunch bag. She used leftover breakfast meat I think. That's tomorrow though! hehe

I also thought of making a batter and deep frying. That costs a lot electric-wize though

Do you have any ideas, creations, suggestions you want to share?

And this is another lovely recipe:

There is no such thing as too much cream cheese. I just got some raspberry cream cheese to add to my dark chocolate brownie recipe, along with some ::: ahem ::: special herbage, for medicinal use only.

Enjoy................

2. I like the wonton idea

See.. I already have the cream cheese mixture which is spicy/savory.

I was thinking of a tempura batter and deepfrying, but these wontons seem cool. I've not played with those yet.

4. Cream cheese is big around here lately, what with my loss of appetite and not really feeling all that great.

So, a good friend who's in the business sent me some greenery to add to brownies, to help with the nausea - medicinal purposes only, of course - and I'm going to fix this recipe - http://tinyurl.com/melxab - only using coconut and glazed cherries instead of the maraschino.

Between sour cream and cream cheese, you can make anything better. Your stuffed peppers sounds fantastic, even to someone with no appetite!!!

then one of those smiley faces reminding franksolich to have a good day

The schmekele primitive then gives a recipe for home-made ravioli.

5. Doesn't grab me - something about the butter and sage with that wondrous cream cheese mixture doesn't fit right for me.

But, my taster is off. Yet, my head can still "taste" recipes, and this one doesn't work.

You needs something more substantial - something fried - to stand up to that cream cheese trip you came up with.

How about just slathering it on a bagel, with a slice of Vidalia onion, a nice slice of a ripe tomato, and some lovely lox?

They were DELISH!!!!

Thank you, DUmmy, for not saying "yummy".

So, anyway, the other night I was at a minor league baseball game. I usually attend four or five games a month during the season, but this night they had a line of concession product at the ballpark I haven't noticed before. Some kind of brightly colored sweet drinks. Anyway, the vendors were walking through the aisles with insulated boxes with the product for sale. The name on the  side of insulated box, in large brightly colored letters: "Tum-E Yummies". Ruined the game.

  GOBUCKS!  I hate also the word delish
Did you see my post last night to you about some DUmmy making a salad with lots of veggies for hubby? 

I wasn't aware of another of your hateds:  hammies.   As in hamstrings?

I just cant read this thread - Anytime a schmekel discusses cream cheese is problematic..   

[GOBUCKS]

I don't know what a schmekele is.
But I do remember the Schmenge Brothers polka band on SCTV.

I know what a shclemeil and a schlemazel are, but I've never heard of a schmekele.  I admit, I haven't kept up with my Yiddish since my paternal grandmother died.

Ruining good peppers and good stuffing with frozen crap?  to the DUmmy for that.

[franksolich]

I don't know what a schmekele is.

It's a term of affection--I think it's affection--in Yiddish.

I'm not going to translate it, but you can get the idea from the primitive screen name, "Inchworm."

That should be enough of a clue.

[miskie]

Yes, yiddish - and inchworm is a good clue to its meaning

Yiddish is great.

I wish I knew more Yiddish.

At the DUmp, that wish would make you either the victim of, or a participant in, a Jewish conspiracy.

The DUmmie is worried about the cost of using the deep fryer to use up the left overs?

I'm worried about the carbon footprint coming out of his ass.
