Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes Ingredients

  • Daisy Blueberry Cottage Cheese Singles (3 containers): The cottage cheese adds moistness making the pancakes fluffier and a big boost of protein to keep you full longer. The real fruit compote brings a pop of color and delicious fresh burst of blueberry flavor in every bite.
  • Flour (1 ½ cups): You can use all all-purpose flour or a mixture of 1 cup all-purpose flour plus ½ cup whole wheat flour for this recipe. Adding whole wheat flour will result in coarser texture. The gluten in the flour gives pancakes volume and structure.
  • Baking Powder (1 tablespoon): A main ingredient for leavening, it adds volume and lightness to the batter and adds height to the pancakes.
  • Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon): An essential ingredient in many baking recipes, it enhances the flavor of the pancakes and rounds out the flavor of the other ingredients.
  • Buttermilk (1/2 cup): The acid in buttermilk reacts to other ingredients in the batter, resulting in lighter, fluffier pancakes with a tender crumb.
  • Egg (2 large, separated): Acts as glue to hold the other ingredients together, adds protein, and adds height to the pancakes.
  • Unsalted Butter (2 tablespoons, melted): Lends flavor and richness to the batter.

Substitutions, Variations, and Tips

  • Try all the Daisy Cottage Cheese Single flavors for tasty twists. Strawberry, Pineapple, and Peach are all great choices.
  • Self-rising flour may be used for all-purpose in a 1:1 ratio. If using self-rising flour, reduce the baking powder to 2 1/2 teaspoons, as the self-rising flour already contains some leavener.
  • Whole wheat flour may be used to replace ½ cup of the all-purpose flour. Whole wheat flour is denser and more absorbent than all-purpose flour, so you don’t want to use it alone.
  • Make it gluten-free: Gluten-free flour may be used in a 1:1 ratio for the all-purpose flour.
  • Almond extract may be used in place of the vanilla extract.
  • No buttermilk? No problem.
    • Simply add 2 teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice to ½ cup of regular milk and let set for a few minutes before using.
    • Or mix ½ cup Daisy Sour Cream with 2 tablespoons of butter or water.
  • Egg substitution: Mix 2 tablespoons of ground chia seeds mixed with 6 tablespoons of water. Rest until foamy (about 15 minutes). Note – this substitution will bind the other ingredients together and add height but without the richness or protein of whole eggs.
  • Salted butter may be used in place of unsalted butter. Margarine, shortening, vegetable oil, or coconut oil may also be used.
  • The batter will be thick. Spread onto the parchment as evenly as possible to ensure the pancakes cook evenly.
  • To make the perfect swirls, dollop the fruit compote onto the batter, and then swirl with a knife or spoon until the desired swirls are achieved.
  • Leftover pancake slices may be stored by cooling completely, then stacking between layers of parchment paper. They can then be stored in a zip-top bag with as much air removed as possible in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, pop into a toaster, microwave, or oven until just warmed.

How to Make Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancakes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 9×13” pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. Set aside lids of fruit from cottage cheese containers.
  2. Mix flour and baking powder in large bowl.
  3. Blend vanilla, buttermilk, cottage cheese, eggs, and melted butter in a blender until smooth. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until just combined (don’t overmix).
  4. Spread evenly in pan. Top with fruit compote and swirl.
  5. Bake 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out dry. Slice and serve.

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (2 tablespoons): Slightly green gold in color and rich in healthy fats, it is less processed than regular olive oil and adds a delightful floral flavor to the tomatoes.

Black Forest Waffles  Beauty Shot

Black Forest Waffles

Black Forest Waffles

These rich and decadent Black Forest Waffles are loaded with the timeless flavor combination of chocolate and cherries. Daisy Sour Cream brings a moistness and lightness to the batter of these delicious waffles and complements the cherry topping.

Perfect for special holiday brunch or run of the mill weekend breakfast, these waffles are sure to please your family and guests.

Black Forest Waffles  Beauty Shot

Black Forest Waffle Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour (1 cup): The gluten in all-purpose flour gives waffles their traditional structure. Finely milled whole wheat flour can be used in place of all-purpose flour.
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (1/2 cup): Your favorite unsweetened cocoa powder will work well in this recipe. For a lighter chocolate flavor, try using dark cocoa powder. Dark cocoa powder has a smoother, less bitter, less chocolaty flavor than traditional cocoa powder.
  • Granulated Sugar (2/3 cup): Granulated sugar works best in this recipe.
  • Baking Powder (2 teaspoons): Gives the waffles their height.
  • Daisy Sour Cream (3/4 cup): Know for its creaminess and smooth texture, did you know that Daisy is the secret ingredient to lighter, moister waffles?
  • Large Eggs (3, separated): The egg yolks give the batter a richness and add a good dose of protein. The whipped egg whites lighten the batter, creating a light, airy, fluffy waffle.
  • Melted Butter (7 tablespoons, melted): Butter adds another layer of richness and helps keep the inside of the waffles soft and pillowy.
  • Powdered Sugar (1 tablespoon): Adds just a touch of sweetness, while making the finished waffles festive.
  • Cherry Pie Filling (21-ounce can): Using canned cherry pie filling as a topping adds the “Black Forest” element to these tasty chocolate waffles. Sugar-free pie filling may be used if desired.
  • Chocolate Syrup (1/2 cup): Adds just the right amount of chocolaty flavor to the topping, mixing with the cherries to enhance the “Black Forest” flavor profile.

Black Forest Waffles  Beauty Shot 2

Substitutions, Variations, and Tips

  • Gluten-free flour may also be used. If using gluten-free flour, you may need to add a tablespoon or two of milk to thin the batter. Gluten-free flour tends to absorb liquid quicker than all-purpose flour, making a denser batter.
  • You can sub out raw cane sugar one-for-one for the granulated sugar.
  • A neutral oil, like canola or corn oil can be used in place of the butter.
  • Try other toppings with the chocolate waffle base. Feel free to add dried fruit, chopped nuts, or bananas to the batter.
  • Other tasty twists on toppings: Hazelnut spread, peanut butter and butterscotch syrup can be substituted for the cherry pie filling and chocolate syrup.
  • Make sure to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. The whipped egg whites lighten the batter and make airy, fluffy waffles.
  • Make sure your waffle iron is hot before starting. If your waffles are coming out pale or soft, the iron isn’t hot enough.
  • Adding a tablespoon of cornstarch makes extra crispy waffles.
  • Keep waffles warm in the oven set to 200°F. Place the waffles directly on the oven rack. The low heat will keep the waffles crispy, while you finish preparing all the batter.

  3. Beat the egg whites in a small bowl at high speed until soft peaks form. Gently fold them into the batter with a rubber spatula.
  4. Meanwhile, heat a waffle iron until hot. Lightly grease with the remaining butter. Pour ½ cup of batter per waffle. Cook each for 3 minutes or until lightly crisp. Store cooked waffles in the oven set on 200°F while cooking the remaining batter.

As the name suggests, Daisy Sour Cream is the key to this creamy, luscious sauce. It is the base of this sauce and lends a hint of tang, which pairs wonderfully with the green chiles. These enchiladas are so good, they will melt in your mouth.

  • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (1 ½ pounds): The protein in our enchiladas made delicious by the combination of the spice rub and a quick grilling.
  • Cream Cheese (3 ounces, softened): A mild cheese that helps bind the sauce and, along with the sour cream, adds a velvety texture to the sauce.
  • Verde Sauce (1 ¼ cups): A green sauce made of spicy green chiles and tangy tomatillos, spicy white onions, and spice. You can find Verde sauce in the produce section of many markets or in the Mexican food aisle.
  • Canned Tomatoes with Chiles (10 ounce can, drained): Diced tomatoes picked at the peak of ripeness along with diced green chiles. They add a bit of kick to the sauce.
  • Cream of Mushroom Soup (5 ounce can): Adds to the creamy base of the sauce and helps thicken the sauce.
  • Daisy Sour Cream (1 cup): Adds a luscious richness and creaminess to the sauce, while also adding a slightly tangy component that balances the savory flavors.

Prep Chicken Enchiladas

Substitutions, Variations, and Tips

  • Any shredded cheese may be used in place of the Mexican blend.
  • Fresh Pico de Gallo or prepared salsa may be used in place of canned tomatoes with chiles.
  • Flour tortillas may be substituted for corn. They will absorb liquid quicker than corn so they may not hold their shape as well.
  • Either yellow or white corn tortillas will work well in this recipe.
  • To freeze enchiladas, prepare as recipe directs, then cover the pan with two layers of plastic wrap and then cover with foil. No need to thaw before cooking. Simply remove the plastic wrap, replace foil, and increase the cooking time by 1 hour. Cook covered with foil for the first 40 minutes.

  • Freshly Cracked Black Pepper (1/8 teaspoon): Adds a fresh, bright flavor to the sauce.

Quiche Prep

Substitutions, Variations, and Tips

  • When choosing mushrooms, look for ones that are firm and dry. Both white and brown mushrooms work well in this recipe. Brown mushrooms have a deeper, earthier flavor than white mushrooms which become more pronounced when cooked.
  • Any color of bell peppers may be used. Green bell peppers are slightly bitter with a bite, while red, orange, and yellow bell peppers are sweeter, milder, and mellower.
  • White or yellow onions may be used in place of red onions. Yellow and white onions are a bit sweeter and have less bite than red onions.
  • Any type of mushroom may be used in place of brown or white mushrooms.
    • Sautéing the mushrooms is a must. Mushrooms are full of moisture. Sautéing allows the moisture to be released and allows the flavors to intensify.
  • Other cheese may be used in place of the Swiss. Good choices are gruyere, fontina or Jarlsberg.
  • Sharp cheddar may be used in place of mild cheddar.
  • Pancetta may be used in place of bacon for a similar smoky flavor.
  • Fully cooked quiche freezes beautifully. Allow quiche to cool completely in refrigerator for several hours until firm. Wrap in plastic wrap and then in foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Frozen quiche may be baked directly from freezer. Unwrap and back at 350°F until fully hot.
  • Quiche will last for 3 days in the refrigerator. Individual slices of quiche may be reheated, covered with foil, in the oven at 325°F for 8-15 minutes.
  • Reheating in the microwave is less than ideal as it will make the quiche rubbery.
  • You may make the filling and crust ahead of time. Store the filling covered in the refrigerator overnight. Store the prebaked crust at room temperature until ready to use. When ready to cook, assemble and bake.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes or up to several hours to make slicing easier. Quiche may be enjoyed piping hot or served at room temperature.

Mashed Potatoes   Ingredients

Potato Wedge Ingredients

  • Yukon Gold Potatoes (5 medium, cut into wedges): With creamy interior texture and buttery flavor, they are the perfect potato for oven frying and air frying for a crispy outside. Russet potatoes also work well for wedges and will crisp up nicely.
  • Canola Oil (1/4 cup): Mild in flavor, it is used to create crispy, brown potato wedges without traditional frying.
  • Salt (1 teaspoon): Table salt works great for this recipe. Kosher salt or finely ground “popcorn” salt may also be used. Your favorite seasoned salts would also make an excellent choice. Try experimenting with flavors for tasty twists.
  • Black Pepper (1/2 teaspoon): The classic compliment to salt, it adds a slightly warm, floral flavor to the wedges.
  • Chili Powder (2 teaspoons): Adds a hint of smoky heat to the wedges. The amount may be adjusted to less or more depending on your spice preference.
  • Daisy Creamy Ranch Dip (2 cups): Rich, creamy, and delicious, it adds an herby, garlicy flavor and is the base of the dipping sauce.
  • Heavy Cream (1/2 cup): Also called whipping cream, it combines with the creamy ranch dip to make the perfect dipping consistency.
  • Bacon Bits (1/4 cup): Savory, salty, and full of smoky deliciousness, it adds textural contrast to the potatoes.
  • Sliced Green Onions (1/4 cup): Adds a pop of color and adds a mild onion flavor.

Substitutions, Variations, and Tips

  • Avoid using waxy red potatoes as they contain too much moisture. Too much moisture will prevent the potatoes from crisping, making soggy, limp wedges.
  • Vegetable oil may be used in place of canola oil. Grapeseed oil may also be used. Both have a mild, neutral flavor.
  • Non-stick cooking spray may be used liberally instead of canola oil for a lighter option.
  • Try experimenting with your favorite seasoning. The possibilities are endless.
  • Be sure cook the bacon to crispy and dice into small pieces.
    • The easiest way to cook crisp bacon is to place on a baking sheet lined with foil in a single layer and place into a preheated 400°F oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy. Store any leftovers in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator for future uses. To reheat, place individual slices on a paper towel on a microwave safe plate and microwave for 10 seconds per slice.
  • Scallions or chives may be used in place of green onions.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of finely grated salty cheese, such as parmesan, asiago, Manchego, or feta.
  • The easiest way to cut the potatoes into wedges is by select similarly sized potatoes and cut into halves along the long side. Cut the halves into halves again by placing flat side down onto the cutting board and cutting at an angle towards the point. Each potato will yield 8 wedges.
  • The key to extra crispy wedges? Soak the cut potato wedges in ice-cold water for 10-20 minutes to remove some of the starch. Make sure to completely dry the potatoes once removed from the water. Dry potatoes will yield crispier wedges.
  • Wedges may be made in the air fryer instead of the oven. To air fry, reduce the amount of oil to 1 ½ tablespoons. Place in an air fryer basket in a single layer, preheated to 400° Air fry for 10 minutes, flip, and cook another 5 minutes.
  • Leftovers may be stored in a zip-top bag for 3 days. They reheat well in the oven or air fryer (350°F for 10 minutes or until warm).
  • They may also be frozen without the dipping sauce. Layer onto a baking sheet until frozen and then place in an airtight container. To enjoy. No need to thaw, just place frozen wedges onto a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes.
  • No time for to make a dipping sauce? Try dipping the wedges into a mixture of Daisy Sour Cream and ketchup.
