Oh My Yumminess!

What a beautiful day outside here. 50 degrees and sunny. The Holiday Season is here and I am so excited, it takes everything I have to wait until the day after Thanksgiving to put all my Christmas stuff up. I am really excited in the next few weeks to do lots of baking. Today was a great day, we were done cooking by 1pm. Hope you enjoy today's menu.


Wonton Soup ~





Ingredients

* 1/2 pound boneless pork loin, coarsely chopped
* 2 ounces peeled shrimp, finely chopped
* 1 teaspoon brown sugar
* 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
* 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
* 1 teaspoon finely chopped green onion
* 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root
* 24 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
* 3 cups chicken stock
* 1/8 cup finely chopped green onion

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine pork, shrimp, sugar, wine, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon chopped green onion and ginger. Blend well, and let stand for 25 to 30 minutes.
2. Place about one teaspoon of the filling at the center of each wonton skin. Moisten all 4 edges of wonton wrapper with water, then pull the top corner down to the bottom, folding the wrapper over the filling to make a triangle. Press edges firmly to make a seal. Bring left and right corners together above the filling. Overlap the tips of these corners, moisten with water and press together. Continue until all wrappers are used.
3. FOR SOUP: Bring the chicken stock to a rolling boil. Drop wontons in, and cook for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onion, and serve.


Chicken - Parmesan Bundles ~




What You Need
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained
1-1/4 cups KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, divided
6 Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided
6 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 lb.), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
1 egg
10 RITZ Crackers, crushed (about 1/2 cup)
1-1/2 cups spaghetti sauce, heated
Make It

HEAT oven to 375ºF.

MIX cream cheese, spinach, 1 cup mozzarella and 3 Tbsp. Parmesan until well blended; spread onto chicken breasts. Starting at one short end of each breast, roll up chicken tightly. Secure with wooden toothpicks, if desired.

BEAT egg in shallow dish. Mix remaining Parmesan and cracker crumbs in separate shallow dish. Dip chicken in egg, then roll in crumb mixture to evenly coat. Place, seam-sides down, in 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.

BAKE 30 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF). Remove and discard toothpicks, if using. Serve chicken topped with spaghetti sauce and remaining mozzarella.
