Hi Hat Cupcakes. I did it. I finally made them. Hi Hat Cupcakes have consumed my cupcake thoughts since I first saw their tall chocolate dipped tops online after I started blogging. But, I have to tell you, I’ve been nervous to make them. They scare me. I knew for sure I would screw them up and end up with a melted mess. But this weekend, I tried them. Mainly because I tasted my very first one a couple of weeks ago. So I decided to use the only recipe I remembered seeing. > Update: I just realized this recipe is also from the book, Cupcakes! Chopped chocolate. But even better with the frosting. If I had paid attention to the directions beforehand I don’t know if I would have been as eager to get started. 12 minutes later and a candy thermometer in check to make sure the frosting formed stiff peaks at the right temperature. Actually, it never made it to just the right temp, but after 12 minutes… I was over holding the hand mixer.

The cupcakes went in the freezer while I prepared for the scary part. Tasty. Crispy Potato Roast Recipe. Hey Guys! So…it’s still really hot out…wtf! I’m totally ready for fall…forget this, “I just don’t want summer to end” BS…I’m OVER IT! Okay, I apologize for being aggressive right there, but man does this weather make me grumpy.

There are a few things that get my mood up during weather like this: 1) My Dog (always) 2) Frequent Fro-Yo and Hawaiian Ice trips with the boyfriend 3) This Roasted Onion Dip. Remember when you were a kid and sleepovers were still the best thing ever? I do…and I also remember despite facials, mani/pedi’s and trying to “rejuvenate” our 13 year old selves there was A LOT of junk food around: pizza, pop, cookies, bin candy, potato chips, and that fake, weird, terrible for you yet embarrassingly delicious jar of French onion dip. If you are willing to brave a hot kitchen for about an hour (woof, I know), this dip is totally worth it and a delicious treat to help keep you cool (once you’re sitting and enjoying it) and leave you feeling guilt-less afterwards! Xx Jenny. Fried Pizza Bites Recipe. While I was browsing the internet the other day looking for some inspiration, I stumbled across these Fried Mozzarella Bites and I knew I had to make them.

My recent homemade pizza was a big hit and I immediately thought these would be a big hit as well. Only instead of just cheese, I added some pepperoni and made mini pizza bites. And, they were ah-mazing! And because we liked them so much, I wanted to share the recipe with y’all! In keeping with the simple recipes with simple ingredients idea, I kept the ingredients as simple as possible — starting with mozzarella string cheese. You could use a block of mozzarella, but I think it is easier to just cut up some string cheese. While the cheese is in the freezer, you can use this time to cut up the turkey pepperoni into smaller pieces. To keep the little balls from getting stuck to each other, roll them in flour while the oil is heating.

I had a hard time finding the perfect temperature for the oil. Enjoy! Fried Pizza Bites Recipe. Simple Recipes & Easy Recipes. Peanut Butter- S?Mores Turnovers | recipegirl.com. Peanut Butter- S’Mores Turnovers I’m not much of a camper.

My husband often takes my son on camping trips, and I happily stay behind and thank the gods for our bug-free house, cozy bed and well-stocked kitchen. I always send them off in comfort… marinate a little meat for them to throw on the grill, pack up some convenience foods and bake a few goodies too. When they return from their camping weekends, I hear mostly about the evenings sitting around the campfire. Story telling, snuggling in blankets, singing songs and roasting marshmallows for S’Mores seem to be recurring favorites. Here’s the How To: Thaw out a box of Puff Pastry, and cut along the fold lines to make 6 large rectangles. Layer 1/4 of a whole graham cracker, a piece of milk chocolate bar and a spoonful of peanut butter on one side of the Puff Pastry.

Wet the edges with water (dip your finger in water and gently touch along the edge), fold over the filling ingredients and press edges together.
