Spinach & cheese rolled meatloaf

This is another dish I normally eyeball the ingredients. It basically starts with the basic meatloaf recipe but I my family like the spice version.  The twist comes in the middle when it's sliced to showcase the spinach and cheese rolled in the middle.

7up cake

Icing not required. 
My mother-in-law use to make this cake but never told us the recipe, so I used one from www.thepioneerwoman.com and I am impressed.  This cake has all the necessary crunch where it suppose to and all the moisture and maximum flavor you don't need to add icing but, keep the whipped cream near.

Pumpkin ginger tunnel cake

Hi G+ and those that like pumpkin, I know you will enjoy this cake its really good yawl...it's not too sweet and the spices are just right plus the ginger crystals makes it even better when its time to Eat This!  

Fine Cooking

For the filling

12 oz. cream cheese, softened● 1/2 cup sour cream● 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbs. granulated sugar ●1/2 tsp. ground ginger ● 1/4 tsp. kosher salt ● 2 large eggs ● 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract ●1/2 cup very finely chopped crystallized ginger

Make the filling

In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer) beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, ginger, and salt on medium speed until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition just until incorporated. Mix in the vanilla and then the crystallized ginger. Transfer to a 1-quart liquid measure and set aside

For the cake

Softened unsalted butter, for the pan

10 oz. (2-1/4 cups) all-purpose flour; more for the pan ● 2 tsp. kosher salt ● 2 tsp. baking powder ●1 tsp. baking soda ●1 Tbs. ground ginger ● 2 tsp. ground cinnamon ●1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg ●1/4 tsp. ground cloves ●1 15-oz. can pure pumpkin purée ● 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar● 3/4 cup vegetable oil ● 4 large eggs ● 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract ● Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

What I did next

Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan. Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium bowl.

Whisk the pumpkin, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. In 3 or 4 additions, add the dry ingredients, whisking well between each addition.

Fill the prepared Bundt pan with about half of the batter. Stir the filling to redistribute the chopped ginger. While dragging a large serving spoon through the center of the batter to create a trough, pour all of the filling into the trough; it may overflow the trough a bit, which is OK. Carefully spoon the remaining batter on top and spread to cover.

Bake until a skewer inserted all the way to the bottom comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 to 15 minutes and then invert onto a serving plate and remove the cake pan. Cool completely. (If not serving the cake within a couple of hours, wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for up to 2 days; serve cold or at room temperature.) Dust the cake with confectioners’ sugar just before serving.

Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in chicken and peas and carrots; remove from heat.

2 Heat oven to 425°F. Roll two-thirds of pastry into 13-inch square. Ease into ungreased 9-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish. Pour chicken mixture into pastry-lined dish.

3 Roll remaining pastry into 11-inch square. Cut out designs with 1-inch cookie cutter. Place square over chicken mixture. Arrange cutouts on pastry. Turn edges of pastry under and flute. Bake about 35 minutes or until golden brown.
