All- Purpose Baking Mix and Sausage Cheese Balls

Seeing as how I am from the south, sausage cheese balls always seem to be a big deal at parties and gatherings. (I have always felt these were way too greasy and never ate them at parties) However, I am going to quickly and easily make them from THRIVE ingredients for a demonstration I am doing soon and thought I would share the recipe. These have a lot less fat and therefore are not as greasy as the traditional ones. Enjoy.

First, always make sure you have an all-purpose baking mix on hand. (Store it in an airtight container in your pantry) Most only last 2 months because they contain shortening, but with Thrive Shortening powder, ours will last 1 year!

All-Purpose Baking Mix
6 cups Thrive flour (I use either wheat or a blend of 1/2 wheat and white)
3 Tbsp Thrive baking powder
1 Tbsp Thrive salt
1 cup Thrive shortening powder
Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container. Keeps for 1 year.
*When using this baking mix in place of Bisquick or other baking mixes listed in recipes you will need to add a little bit more water (1 - 2 tsp) to the recipe, but not much.

Sausage Cheese Balls (makes 15 - 20 balls - can be multiplied)
1 cup Thrive sausage crumbles
1 cup Thrive cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp Thrive onions
1 Tbsp Thrive celery
1 1/2 cups warm water
3/4 to 1 cup all-purpose baking mix (recipe above)
Ground pepper and garlic powder to taste (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place first 5 ingredients in a bowl and allow to sit about 5 - 7 minutes. Then add the baking mix until a thick batter consistency is achieved. Add a little pepper and garlic powder if you wish. Spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet (these are usually a little less ball like because they don't have all that solid fat to hold them together as the ones made with fresh, raw sausage which is a good thing). Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy!

These only take me about 20 - 25 minutes to make (including baking time) and usually I have my sheet pans ready to go in before the oven even finishes preheating.

1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp cumin
2 cups Thrive cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese

Enjoy!

Potato Corn Chowder

2 cups Thrive FD potato dices
1/3 cup Thrive carrot dices

4 tsp Thrive chicken bouillon
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup Thrive butter, prepared
2 cups Instant or Powdered milk, prepared
1/4 cup flour
2 cups Thrive FD corn
1 1/2 cups Thrive cheddar or Montery Jack cheese

Place first 7 ingredients into a large pot. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 - 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine butter, milk, and flour in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat. Stir until smooth and thick.
Pour milk mixture into veggie in large pot.
Stir in corn and cheese and continue stirring for about 5 minutes until cheese is melted and incorporated.

Garlic Chicken and Spinach Pizza

1/2 cup Mayo mixed with 2 - 3 Tbsp minced garlic
1 cup THRIVE chicken
1/2 cup THRIVE onions
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
Italian seasonings and garlic salt
2 Tbsp sugar
1 cup THRIVE spinach
1 1/2 cups THRIVE mozzarella cheese
1 cup chopped tomatoes

Prepare pizza dough to fit on a large cookie sheet (I make a whole wheat dough, but you can also buy pre-made wheat dough or whatever you like). Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll dough out and place on your baking pan. Spread garlic mayo on the pizza dough. Reconstitute chicken, drain and sprinkle with Italian seasonings and garlic salt. Soak onions in balsamic vinegar for 3 minutes and saute with sugar to caramelize. Top your pizza with the chicken and onion reduction.
Reconstitute spinach, drain and pat dry. Recontitute cheese in a shallow dish (dinner plate), drain, and pat dry. Add spinach and cheese to pizza. Add tomatoes to pizza. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes.
Enjoy!

Yummy smoothie!

A friend of mine shared a delicious recipe for smoothies using Thrive foods with me. I modified it just a smidgen.

The THRIVE Very Berry Smoothie

1 1/2 C Mixed FD fruit in blender
Example: 1/8 C FD blueberries
4 chunks FD pineapple
1/3 C FD banana slices
1/2 C apple slices
1/8 C FD raspberries
1/2 C FD strawberries
1/3 C FD mandarin oranges

Add 1 cup water (just enough to cover fruit) and let soak 5 - 10 minutes. (This is the time I usually get my kids bookbags and/or lunches together).

Optional additions:
10-12 frozen grapes
1/2 - 1 cup of cubed melon (whatever you have or like, I cut my melons as soon as they are ripe and put them in a container in the fridge for quick use or snacking)

Add 1 Cup of ice and 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder.
Blend and enjoy!

Thanks Lisa for the recipe!
