So I was recently inspired by a rather unappetizing clam chowder recipe that I saw making its way through cyber space, and instead of gagging, like the rest of the world.. I thought, “hmmm.. what borderline disgusting thing can I do with this soup, that won’t actually be disgusting at all?”.. and here we are! 🙂

A fun, crispy-cracker-coated, creamy-soup, filled bomb that will make you the VIP of finger-foods! Unique, impressive, SIMPLE.. AND delicious.. cuz it be like that sometimes lol! 

What you’ll need for a giant pile of soup & cracker bombs:

2 cups of soup (I used clam chowder)

2 cups of crushed cracker crumbs

2 eggs

1 cup flour (not shown)

one large sheet pan (I used found here> Gridmann 13″ x 18″ Aluminium Cookie Sheet Baking Tray Jelly Roll Pan Half Sheet – 1 Pan, Silver, 13 x 18)

oil for frying

salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions:

Place approx. 1 tbsp. of soup onto the sheet pan, and then into the freezer for at least 20 minutes…

Now crush up the crackers…

into crumbs…

Prepare a breading station with 3 bowls: flour, eggs and a splash of water, the cracker crumbs…

Now, dust one of the frozen soup balls with the flour…

Into the eggs…

And into the cracker crumbs, for a generous coating…

Then it’s time to fry them up…

into the hot (350 degree) oil, just until golden… add a sprinkle of salt while they’re hot…

Serve them warm.. and DIG IN! ~Enjoy! 🙂

Sometimes it’s nice to have a pop-in-your-mouth, cheesy and saucy Italian inspired treat that doesn’t require 10 napkins and stretchy pants…lol!  And this is one of those times!

I thought it would be fun, and yummy to create some crispy Lasagna noodle chips, dripping in all things Nacho!

 Yep~  Cheese, sauce, seasoning, and even a little spice.

And WOW~  did this thought ever turn out to be a one of a kind, scrumptious, Italian inspired snack reality!  🙂

The light, and crispy Lasagna noodles are the perfect ‘utensil’ for getting that melty mozzarella, and tangy, seasoned sauce into your mouth during even the most tense of football games..lol!

You’ll be the VIP/MVP of snacks – prepare to be tackled!

What you’ll need:

Boiled and cooled Lasagna noodles..amounts are up to you!

Shredded Mozzarella

Marinara

Italian Seasoning

Grated Parmesan

Red Pepper Flakes

Oil for frying..I used Canola

Directions:

Make the Lasagna noodle chips! 

Boil the noodles…

While they’re boiling, mix the seasoning..

In a small bowl combine the parmesan, italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste…set aside

Let the noodles cool, and cut them into approx. 2″ squares

Fry them in small batches in about 2″ or so in (350 degree) oil until they’re golden on both sides…

Let them drain on some paper towel, and sprinkle them with the parmesan, seasoning while they’re warm…

Stack them up on a pan and top them with some shredded mozzarella …

Bake them at 350 for approx. 12 minutes, or just until the cheese is melty.

Imagine if you will, a culinary collision of the state fair and fall.  I’m talking about something fried like funnel cake, and something fall.. like apples..lol.

I’ve magically morphed our favorite fall fruit with our favorite fried fair fare and here we are.  .. Apple Stuffed Funnel Cake is not only easier to make than traditional funnel cake, it’s also SO much tastier. Each bite of that crispy funnel cake is only made better by a tender, sweet, apple surprise inside… topped with some powdered sugar, and a drizzle of caramel.. and you will be the MVP VIP of Fall dessert faves!

No only is this super impressive, it’s also incredibly easy.  Whip up a batch for that holiday party or dessert table, and have the recipe on hand.. trust me.  🙂

What you’ll need:

2 cups complete pancake mix

3 med/lg apples

2 tbsp. sugar

approx. 1 cup water (to proper consistency)

2 tsp. vanilla extract

powdered sugar and caramel for garnish..optional

A spiralizer is necessary for this recipe.. they’re a great, super versatile kitchen investment and very affordable (NOT SPONSORED.. just love it)  .. you can find them here >  SPIRALIZER! 

oil for frying

plastic wrap

Directions:

Spiralize those apples…

now place a pile of the apples into a flat circle approx. 3-5″ in diameter (funnel cake size..lol) …

Wrap each apple circle individually in plastic wrap…

stack ’em up and freeze those babies for at least 2 hours to whenever you’re ready to make them…

Now whip up the batter by mixing the pancake mix with the water, and the vanilla until it’s a cake-batter consistency…

When the apple circles are super solid…

Take only one out of the freezer at a time and gently coat it in the batter.. (THEY NEED TO STAY FROZEN UNTIL FRIED.. and they thaw SUPER FAST)

Fry them up just until evenly golden…

Drain them on a glass surface.. as they will stick to paper products~!  learned that the hard way..haha!

Let them cool…

Then top them with a nice dusting of traditional funnel cake flavor… powdered sugar…

And a drizzle of caramel.. if you’re so moved to do so…

And then DIG IN!  ~Enjoy!  🙂
