Artichoke Pepperoni Pie/quiche and Andes Creme de Menthe Chunk Cookies

Artichoke Pepperoni PieAndes Creme de Menthe Chunk Cookies
Football Widow..there ain't no such such thing. My dear girlfriend stopped by my home this weekend complaining she lost her husband once again to the sport men call football. Crying that he never pays her any mind during the game. My first thought, Give me a F^&*(ing break. Take matters into your own hands woman. Stroke the remote. My second thought OK she's upset, her husband is a bit of an ass, but still her husband, so I decided to offer my sex-minded opinion. So, I sat her down gently with kid gloves, and said be back in a flash.

Flew into my bedroom, the room of pleasure and spice, and things not so nice, and pulled out what I thought she'd need to get him to RISE, get it, RISE from the football game. I said throw on one of these, a pair of these, and definitely these.Thats all, nothing else. Go home, turn into the football wifeladywhore, strut around in this outfit, sit next to him with uncrossed legs, remind him you feel a draft down below, and believe me he will wanna make you flow. Casually drinking/sucking/slurping a long necked beer while moaning will help also, I informed her.Testosterone is alive and kicking during a football game ladies, use it your advantage. Don't wait for it to happen to you, go after it. Yes the art of subtle aggressive foreplay!!

Have a delicious quiche here for you to peruse today. An artichoke pepperoni quiche. May sound like an odd combination, like huge feet small johnson, but the flavors so work. Begin by defrosting some frozen artichokes, pat them dry, and cut into quarters. Gather these. Beat the 4 eggs. Then mix in all of your other ingredientsthe diced mozzarella, the romano cheese, the artichokes, pepperoni, and pepper. till moistened.Pour them into a deep dish pie crust and bake for 45-60 minutes.Look how lovely. Delicious as brunch, lunch, or cut thin as an appetizer. Pretty with the red and greenNow here's a flavorful cookie to throw together. Andes Creme de Menthe Chunk Cookies. I make these about once a year, usually near the holidays. I buy these. If you like the chocolate/mint flavor , you will LOVE these. Begin by blending butter, sugars, baking soda,baking powder, vanilla, and eggs till mixed. Stir in your Andes baking chips and flour. Chill for a bit. Form dough into balls and slightly flatten. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Done. Cool on pans 2 minutes prior to removal. Cool Tasty little treats.

These taste best when 1-2 days old IMVHO!!

No such thing as a football widow, throw away the tiny violin and put on the teasy sleazy.

  1. Never thought of combining artichokes and pepperoni, both of which I love. Great idea, and I bet they'd do well together on a pizza, too.

  8. Fortunately, my hubby gave up football watching. Unfortunately, he replaced it with playing WOW. Do you have any ideas on how to be a sexy half-dead orc?

    While I applaud the bravery of the first recipe, I absolutely HATE artichokes (I know, I'm subhuman). However, I LOVE Andes and will be trying the cookie recipe soon!!!

  9. Excellent food today, Donna. The quiche looks delicious and I've never seen the mint chips...the cookies look excellent.

  12. I have never eaten artichokes but I believe it tasted wonderful with peperoni!

  13. That quiche looks fantastic! Only you could get me craving pepperoni at 7AM. Seriously.

    Also, the cookies look great. Mint chocolate is a never-fail flavor combo.

    I need to try this football trick. I imagine that you could really use it at any time that you want to get a guy's attention. Just throw on one of his shirts over a pair of fishnets. And you are good to go.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Man, Donna, you always have the best recipes. Both of these look so good -- I'm going to try out the cookies for Christmas! I have to admit that I WAS hoping to see a nice long log of pepperoni, though... ;o)

  18. I lose Grumpy to HUNTING. He leaves for the WEEKEND. My dear Donna...I don't know how I could change THAT! ;o)

    Quiche looks fabulous by the way.

  21. Your quiche looks delicious! My Mom never really gave us artichokes growing up, but I've tried them in several dishes as an adult and love them! I bet the combination of artichokes and pepperoni is wonderful!!!

    Your cookies look great, too, and yet again, I'm going to be adding them to my "holiday cooking list". You always have such wonderful recipes/ideas!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I never would have thought of artichoke and pepperoni together, but that quiche looks great!

    And my my, those cookies look great! I could use one or a handful right now!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I had no idea that Andes made the chips, I haven't seen them. We use the candy for borwnies, cookies, you name it. I'm going to keep an eye out for htem.

    Your quiche is to die for! This is bookmarked! I am definitely going to make it this weekend!

  24. Being a KC Chief's fan, My wife could stroll through in her fuzzy bathrobe and curlers and I would be thrilled for the distraction.

    I love this quiche, real men would!

  25. Oh Donna .. I dunno this time .. I've tried the seduction route while my hubbs was watching sports, but to no avail! But then again, I didn't try the fishnet stockings and hooker heels .. u're right, I just need to PUMP up the volume next time!

  27. Those cookies are calling my name!!!!! I am having a cookie baking day here and those just got added to my list :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. 1. I'd love to eat your pie (I'm trying to keep a straight face here!)..
    2. Tell your friend to leave the poor guy alone- there's always time later to "score"... :)

  29. Just GOTTA know...are you using an ice cream scoop for your cookies? They are always so perfectly round and equally shaped! And this cookie sounds way better than the mint chocolate cookie we tried earlier in the year. It may be worth a shot!

    ReplyDelete
  30. oh my goodness, my stomach is just aching for both of these dishes!! i want the quiche for dinner adn the cookies for dessert!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I just recently discovered how much I love artichokes! What a delicious pie. And the cookies sound divine - we always have Andes for the holidays - in a cookie sounds better!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Pepperoni in quiche! Great idea! I love the cookies too. Mint and chocolate is one of my favorite combos.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Both these recipes sound terrific. They're both also different enough to be really interesting. Greta post.

  34. I love that pepperoni quiche! Great idea.
    I am lucky that the only sport we watch in our house is Jeopardy. Whew, dodged a bullet.

  35. I'm a huge artichoke lover so that pie looks delicious to me! Once again you had me cracking up.....big feet, small johnson...lol...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hmm, interesting quiche. I love quiche, my husband, not-so-much. But pepperoni might do the trick.
    And the cookies--I love those. It's amazing how the year rolls on and we forget about these kind of yearly goodies!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Love the pie, it was so yummy on Saturday!!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Your quiche looks so hearty and delicious...usually quiche leaves me wanting a little something more, but yours looks so filling! And those cookies...oh wow! They'd be perfect on a Christmas cookie tray!

  39. I wouldn't have thought pepperoni and artichokes but it does looks super yummy!

  40. I find that men are impossible to pull away from the game, no matter how sexily you're dressed. Football is always more important than sex. I've never known a woman who could pull her man away from the game for sex. I have to say you must be one magic woman if it works for you! Kudos!

    I think this quiche would totally console me in this situation. Do you know how much I love pepperoni? I became addicted to it sometime around age 5 or so...

    Andes have a special plce in my heart because in college while transitioning from home to dorm (a long drive) I'd spend the night at a wonderful local B&B where they would always leave the Andes in your room. I always associate those things with happy college memories.

  41. So glad that my husband likes cars instead of sports! I love the artichoke and pepperoni quiche and I bet they pair very nicely together. That would be a pretty quiche to make around xmas with all the red and green.

    Now regarding the cookies.....are you evil;D If Natashya is the bread goddess then you my dear are the cookie goddess! I have those andes treats in my pantry and now they're calling out my name!! I'm going to have to make these cookies now. With my husband out of the state working I'll never be able to work off the calories;D

    ReplyDelete
  42. wow I love that pie! but i have to complain too..what's with guys and balls man!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Love your recipes!! And your football season strategy :) Let the games begin!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love this post! Your cookies look absolutely scrumptious! And the Artichoke Pepperoni Pie is mouth-watering! Fantastic job!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I love both those dishes, the pie would make hubby happy and I have a friend who loves your candy inspired cookies! Thank GOD my husband has no interest in sports on TV

    ReplyDelete
  46. I really wish my husband loved artichokes as much as I do, but I am making this anyway. It looks mouthwatering and I know I would have to have more than one slice.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I SO want one of your cookies right now, I grew up devouring Andes mints!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Chocolate, foreplay and a quiche... that just about covers it.
    LoL~~

    ReplyDelete
  49. Ha! That's pretty good advice...I don't know a football lovin' man who wouldn't take a break for that! Both of these look great...I love those little Andes chips, but had kinda forgotten about them...must look for them again, cuz the cookies are a callin'!

    ReplyDelete
  50. The best pie. Wonderful. Football games have been forsaken so tht pie could get eaten! And then you followed it with those mint-chocolatey cookies.... the whole football team would stay home.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I never tried the frozen artichokes Donna. Just use the canned variety. The fresh ones look great but also look like a pain to prepare.

    You totally rock!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Donna, I don't know how you do it all, but you are just amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Ok LOVE that quiche girl, and the cookies just ROCK!! I'm writing all these little teasers down Donna, someday I'll get to use them!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I love your cookies. Chocolate and mint are one of my favourite combos!

    ReplyDelete
  55. oh wow amazing quiche reminds me of the ones in France

    ReplyDelete
  56. That is one good lookin pie! Michael would love it!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Why sit on the sidelines when you can become the main attraction? "Put it away the violin" is right!

    I would never think to combine pepperoni with artichokes but if you say it's good, then it must be. :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. OMG, can't wait to try these recipe. Simply delicious! Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Just send me a dozen of those cookies. They are spectacular sounding.

  61. Those cookies look amazing!!! I love mint flavored things. I am printing the recipe off to make them!! thanks for sharing!!!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I have never seen or heard of those creme de menthe chunks, but I will definitely be on the lookout for them when I next go cross border shopping!

    ReplyDelete
  63. The cookies look great but I'd push those aside any day for a slice of that artichoke pie! That's heaven in a pie plate!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Hey hey donna...

    Hope you are enjoying your break and that all is going well... You know we worry...

    Just wanted to let you know that I made my bastardized version of your quiche... hope you feel honored and not pissed about some of what i did to your perfect recipe
