Finlandia: Because Everything's Better With Butter And Cheese

June, AKA: National Dairy Month, may have morphed into July in a rush of graduations, end of the year school events and activities, and weddings, but every month is dairy month in our family. We adore cheese and butter and Finlandia's is an incredible addition to the summer cooking season. 

Check out ChiIL Mama's Coconut Banana Bread recipe below with Finlandia butter in and on it. This week we've also been enjoying Finlandia butter when we grilled out sweet corn and red potatoes, and on French Toast. I've even made Grilled Turkey Rubens With Melted Finlandia Swiss. 

My daughter even made Red, White, and Blue Rice Krispie Treats in Finlandia colors for the 4th of July and beyond, which are extra tasty with Finlandia butter.

In late June, ChiIL Mama was invited to celebrate National Dairy Month by joining Finlandia's campaign. Thanks to them, we were sent a free Dairy Delight Kit which included salted and unsalted butter, swiss cheese, and a cute and practical lunchbox which we're still enjoying on a daily basis. We're thrilled to partner up with them for this sponsored post.

Finlandia Butter and Cheese is made from pure, hormone-free milk, which comes from happy cows that live on family-owned farms in Finland—the greenest country on Earth. No hidden chemicals, no factory farms—just pure, creamy goodness. 

My 15 year old son devours banana bread!

ChiIL Mama's Coconut Banana Bread: 

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 1/3 cups of overripe, mashed bananas (approx 4-5 bananas)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1/2 cup of Finlandia butter

3/4 cup light brown sugar

2 eggs, beaten

coconut oil spray

15 min prep time

1 hour cook time + 10 min cool down

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. We recommend coconut spray or silicone bread pans so you don't need extra spray at all.

Combine flour, coconut, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Cream butter and brown sugar in a smaller bowl. Stir in beaten eggs, coconut oil and mashed bananas. Blend banana mix into flour mixture and stir well. Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. Cool bread in the pan 10 minutes then remove from pan, slice and serve. It's extra delicious topped with Finlandia butter, banana slices, and/or fresh berries.

My family and I eat butter and cheese almost everyday. And part of my job as a mom is making sure my family eats healthy foods free of harmful growth hormones, preservatives, and dyes. I trust Finlandia Cheese for my family, a brand that has been crafting some of the highest quality cheese and butter for over a century. Their products taste better and are better for you than those laced with additives, BGH and more!

Finlandia's cheeses and butters are all-natural and hormone-free, and they taste incredible. Imported from Finland using milk produced by well-cared-for cows, Finlandia Butter is rich and creamy.  It's nothing like any butter you've ever tasted.  And you could eat Finlandia Cheese straight from the package—no crackers needed.

It also preps kids to grow into self sufficient adults who have a clue about feeding themselves and others in healthy ways.

The rest of my family likes to add other favorite sweet or savory ingredients to change things up a bit.

Please see below for Pepperidge Farm’s Mummy Pizza Puff recipe. 

MUMMY PIZZA PUFFS

THAW: 40 minutes
PREP: 15 minutes
BAKE: 20 minutes
COOL: 10 minutes
SERVES: 6


DIRECTIONS

1. Heat the oven to 400°F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork.
2. Sprinkle the flour on the work surface.  Unfold 1 pastry sheet on the work surface.  Cut the pastry sheet into 3 rectangles along the fold lines.  Cut the pastry rectangles in half crosswise, making 6 (about 3x5-inch) rectangles.  Place the pastry rectangles onto the baking sheet.
3. Spread about 1 tablespoon sauce on each pastry to the edge.  Top each with about 2 tablespoons cheese and 3 slices pepperoni.
4. Unfold the remaining pastry sheet on the work surface.  Cut the pastry sheet into 3 rectangles along the fold lines.  Cut each pastry rectangle crosswise into 12 (about 3/4-inch wide) strips, making 36 in all.
5. Arrange 6 pastry strips on each pastry, placing them slightly askew over the filling to resemble a mummy's bandages.  Brush with the egg mixture.  Place 2 olive slices on each pastry for the "eyes".
6. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.  Let the pastries cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
7. Flavor Variation: For a twist on ham and cheese, omit the sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.  Layer 1 slice deli ham, 2 slices salami and 1 slice deli Cheddar cheese on eachpastry rectangle, folding the edges as needed to fit on the pastry without hanging over the sides.  Arrange the pastry strips over the filling and proceed as directed above.
8. Recipe Note: Parchment paper keeps the pastry from sticking to the baking sheet and also makes for easier cleanup. If you don't have parchment paper, you can spray the baking sheet with cooking spray instead. However, cooking spray may cause the bottoms of the pastries to brown more quickly, so begin checking for doneness 5 minutes early.

Disclosure: Thanks again to our friends at Pepperidge Farm for sending these sweet snacks our way for review purposes. We're happy to partner up with them and give our readers the heads up about these cool fall recipes and tasty treats.

FOODIE TUESDAY: Four Fab CK Mondavi Wines For Your 4th And Beyond #CKMondaviHeroes #CleverGirls #Sponsored #recipe

Here at ChiIL Mama we love to chill out with a great bottle of white or red wine and CK Mondavi has long been one of our top picks for quality and affordability. Did you know CK Mondavi is THE perfect 4th of July wine. Not only is it the only wine in the under $10 price point that's 100% American made & grown, but a percentage of sales goes to supporting veterans!

With Independence day on the horizon and a long weekend of relaxing ahead, we're stocked up and ready for fun with four fine CK Mondavi wines. We're particularly jazzed to be one of the first to try Blonde Five, which will be available to the public in August.

Looking for a tasty pairing for your 4th of July grilling fun? 

Marc Mondavi’s Monster Burger 

Crimp the edges well, grill to perfection and serve with my CK Mondavi Zinfandel.

Marc says: I find that if I’m going to enjoy a burger cooked on my grill, I want one that is chock full of flavor. I’ve found this recipe passes my test for a hearty, tasty burger.

Serves Six

3 lbs. hamburger meat of your preference
2 tsp. oregano
1 medium sized onion chopped
1 clove garlic chopped
½ lb. cheese of your choice
1 egg beaten
½ cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl except the cheese. Take a little less than ¼ lb. of the mixture, roll it in your hand and flatten as you would a regular burger, but thinner. Place three to six cheese chunks in the center. Prepare the top of the burger the same way and place over the first burger. 

Thanks to CK Mondavi for shipping us:

- Chardonnay 

- Blonde Five

- Cabernet Sauvignon 

- Scarlet Five 

Here at ChiIL Mama, we're confirmed fans of red wines and CK Mondavi's Scarlet Five rocks with hints of black cherries and plums and the best attributes of FIVE reds: 

CK Mondavi's Cab Sav is another long time fav of ours.

Chose your favorite:

With these reds and whites you won't be blue!

The new girl in town:

Blonde Five is delicious enough to turn heads from the red. I'm a former red head... blue/black haired for a year... and now back to natural blonde, so I'm partial to blonde. 

This Blonde Five wine is smart and succulent with notes of pear, baked apple, honey, lemon, & honeysuckle! CK Mondavi's suggested pairings (grilled shrimp, spicy chicken and mild cheeses) are are all top picks of ours too. Yum!

We dig the twist tops. 

Here in Chi, IL we celebrate the 4th of July and summer in general with loads of free outdoor fireworks displays, free concerts in every genre imaginable and outdoor picnics. And CK Mondavi wine goes great with the great outdoors! Even if you're not so great about remembering the cork screw! 

HELP OUT:

Our readers love to make a difference and support worthwhile causes, so we frequently run local philanthropic opportunities under HELP LOCALLY and national and even international opportunities under HELP OUT.  We're happy to introduce you to 

The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. 

• A percentage of each bottle sold between May - August is donated to Intrepid Fallen Heroes (up to $50,000).

Did you know:

• CK Mondavi is run by the legendary Napa Valley wine icon, Peter Mondavi Sr., a World War II veteran.
