Recipes
I have found my kids REALLY like Nature’s Harvest® bread. Every time I buy it, they cannot wait to get into it. Which is cool because it s high in whole grains and tastes great. Good combination right? This time, I told them I needed to create some recipes with it, so they needed to hold off. When I finally said they could have some, they tore into it like they haven’t haven’t eaten in months.
When I was thinking about what Dory Inspired recipes to make, my first thought was – It is summer. It has to be something that isn’t hot because the heat and humidity hear in North Carolina lately has been OPPRESSIVE! I also wanted to make sure it was something I wanted to eat. I like a good food too!
So here they are, my Dory Inspired recipes. What do you think?
First, we need to start with the ‘base’ of both recipes.
Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese Spread/Dip Recipe
Ingredients
(1) 8 oz. block cream cheese, room temperature
2 tbsp milk
2-3 cloves garlic, finely minced – I used two because I knew my kids were going to be eating it and 3 cloves seemed to be too garlicky.
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp onion powder
Directions
Dory’s Favorite Crost’sea’ni with Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese Spread
Ingredients
Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese Spread from above
1 cup skinned and chopped cucumber
4-8 slices Nature’s Harvest® Butter Wheat bread
Fish, shell, or any sea inspired cookie cutters
Directions
- Use the cookie cutters on the Nature’s Harvest® Butter Wheat bread to cut our various sea shapes.
- Put the shapes on a cookie sheet and put in the oven. Set on “Broil” for 2-4 minutes – it just depends how dark and toasty you like your bread.
- Let bread cool.
- Once cool, spread about 1/2 teaspoon (or more if you like!) on each Crost’Sea’ni, top with chopped cucumbers and serve!
- YUM! Dory would be proud!
Sea Sandwiches
Now, Dory doesn’t have time for Tea right? Or if she did, would she even remember what time tea was? HA! So, I created some Sea Sandwiches just for her!
Ingredients
Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese Spread from above
1 cup skinned and sliced cucumber
4-10 slices Nature’s Harvest® Honey Wheat bread
6 oz lower sodium, thickly sliced turkey
Fish, shell, or any sea inspired cookie cutters
Directions
- Use the cookie cutters on the Nature’s Harvest® Butter Wheat bread to cut our various sea shapes for top and bottom of Sea Sandwiches.
- Lightly coat the top and bottom pieces of bread with the Garlic and Herb Cream Cheese Spread.
- Layer sliced cucumber, then turkey, then more cumber.
- SERVE! I am sure Dory will remember these Sea Sandwiches!
