Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups. Soooooo… you know that episode of Sex and the City where Miranda has to dump dish soap on top of chocolate cake just so she will stop eating it?? Uh. Yeeeeeah. These are like… of that caliber. And that totally almost happened to me. I ate what felt like a million, then had a plate of 5-day old green bean fries from the fridge and called it lunch. I definitely recommend those. For lunch. Face? Inhale.

Grilled S'more Brownie. Bonnie's Fruit Dip Recipe. Random Recycling: Modern Green Living for Busy Families: Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies. Crock Pot Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake & White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake. A couple weeks back I posted a recipe on face book for a cheesecake that was baked in a crock pot. My first thought was you can bake a cheesecake in a crock pot. How cool is that! Well curiosity got the best of me so I had to make it.I love using my crock pot for cooking and baking because it's such a time saver.

The cooking method used for the Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake pictured above is the same method (water bath) that I use to cook my overnight oatmeal. This cheesecake recipe only requires 7 ingredients, so it doesn't get any easier my friends. I don't bake cheesecakes as often as I like simply because I just can't bake them correctly. I know you can bake a cheesecake using the water bath method, but I have never tried it. What I love about the crock pot method is that a water bath is still used, but the pan sits on top of the water instead of directly in it. This method does take a bit longer at 3 hours, but so worth it.

Start by crushing the graham crackers to make the crust. Strawberry Lemon Shortbread Bars. When I first saw the recipe for these shortbread bars on SouthernLiving.com, I knew I had to make them. I just wanted to wait until strawberry season when I had my own fresh strawberry jam to make them with. And boy, this recipe did not disappoint. The slightly crunchy shortbread on the bottom, combined with the creaminess of the strawberry jam and cream cheese topping and just a little zing of lemon in every other bite, makes for a very happy mouth! Even if you don't have your own homemade jam, you really should give these a try. Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup powdered sugar 3/4 tsp lemon zest, divided 3/4 cup cold butter 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, room temperature 3/4 cup sugar 2 large eggs 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice 1 cup strawberry jam Directions: Preheat oven to 350° degrees (F). I like to line my baking pan with parchment paper.

Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Pie. Nutter Butter- Peanut Butter Pie If you hadn’t heard already, our food blogging friend Jennie lost her husband Mikey last week. It was a sudden and unexpected loss. The kind of loss that is unfair in every way. In the midst of grieving for her lost love, she asked the world to make a peanut butter pie (Mikey’s favorite) and share it with someone they love. In response, the world made pies. Lots of them. So here’s my Peanut Butter Pie, my tribute to Mikey and love to Jennie and her family, that I was able to share with my own family. I went with a Nutter Butter crust. If you’re not familiar with Nutter Butters- they’re pretty much just like an Oreo… with peanut butter cookie and peanut butter cream filling.

As much as we love Nutter Butters, they had to be smashed into bits for the crust. This is a no-bake, perfect-for-summer kind of pie. A nice layer of hot fudge is then spooned on top. Then it’s topped with the peanut butter cream filling… …and smoothed on top. Candy Corn Sugar Cookies. Just so you know I, like Kate, had very good intentions of posting actual food today. But there’s only so much time before Halloween and then we can’t post fun things like this for a whole year, so you see we must! And actually, you can do candy corn themed stuff all the way through Thanksgiving, so live it up! But I do have an actual dinner recipe on Monday. For real. Start with a batch of sugar cookies and divide your dough into three equal portions. You’ll leave one of those portions as is (this will be the white part of the candy corn) and then you’ll color one of the remaining portions yellow and one orange.

And here’s a little tip. Now you’ll just need a loaf pan. The first thing you’ll do is place your uncolored cookie dough in the bottom of the pan and spread it out as flat as you can. You’re going to have 3 layers here and the height of your dough will determine the size of your cookies. When it’s done chilling, unwrap and you should have a nice layered loaf of dough. Oreo Cookies-Recipe Oreo-Oreo Recipes-Cheese Cupcakes-Oreo Cheesecakes. Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Wednesday, 21st July 2010 I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t like Oreo cookies or Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes. Who could resist cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies? Not Me! Especially the double-stuffed Oreo cookie, it’s one of the best cookies for dunking into a cold glass of milk. I went out yesterday to do my weekly shop, came home, and before I was able to bring in the first grocery bag Matt was hunting for the cookies and cream ice cream.

Much to his disappointment I forget to put it on the list and came home without it. One of Matt’s favourite desserts of all time is cherry cheesecake and I thought to myself why not Oreo Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes, that should satisfy his craving. Plus these cheesecakes are super easy to prepare, everything comes together in one bowl and there’s no crushing chocolate wafers with a rolling pin, then melting butter, baking the crust first and then baking a second time when filled. Makes 30 Comments (225) Snickerdoodle Muffins. I have been obsessed with Pinterest lately! Pinning this and that all while trying not to drool all over my computer. While I like pinning lots of different things, as you can imagine, I love pinning recipes. A picture of snickerdoodle muffins kept popping up all over my Pinterest page just begging me to make them. Could it be, one of my favorite cookies in a breakfast treat?

I had to investigate! Luckily I had all of the ingredients in my pantry so I actually ended up baking these babies at 10 pm at night. These muffins made the best late-night snack I have had in a while! I really need to stop looking at Pinterest after dinner! The dough is very soft, so when you drop some into the cinnamon-sugar mixture you want to spoon some of the mixture over the dough before you start rolling it. This way your fingers never touch the sticky dough and you don’t end up with snickerdoodle batter all over your fingers. Scroll to bottom for printable recipe card. What makes this recipe special? Pin Recipe. Pumpkin Pie Popcorn. For me, a rich caramel popcorn pairs perfectly with cool autumn days. There is something so cozy about whipping up a batch, and munching it while watching a movie, huddled under a warm knit blanket.

It also happens to be the treat that always gets snatched from my hands when I bring a bag to the school yard at after-school pick up. Did you know that caramel corn is also a great menu item to serve at a party? It pairs well with wine, beer, hard liquor and champagne. Keep your party simple and serve booze and spiced popcorn! And for the kids, it's a natural accompaniment to hot cocoa and cider, and I consider it to be a must-serve item at Halloween or fall birthday parties. Popcorn can be served in individual paper cones, large bowls, or brown paper bags rolled over to create a rustic looking and recyclable no-dishes-to-wash vessel, like the one in the photos.

They’re just so gooooood. Well… in that case you should make some homemade snickers bars. And I KNOW you know what I’m talking about.

Then I went through a SERIOUS phase of those Snickers ice cream bars. And that you can eat a million of them. These days, it’s rare that I crave actual candy, often preferring some chewy cookies or super rich cheesecake or a bar of amazing chocolate that costs thrice as much as the recent organic meyer lemons I purchased.

Every time I make these cookies (which, truth be told, is quite often), I think of a former colleague, Ana, who left King Arthur last year in order to be a full-time mom to her 2-year-old twins.

The test kitchen bakers loved Ana. Ana still visits occasionally, 2-year-olds in tow. And when she does, she’ll invariably nose out any chocolate, and treat us to her classic reaction: “Perfect! These cookies are basically brownies: flat, round, 2 ½” brownies. First task: Combine the chocolate and butter. Melt in the microwave till softened… …then stir till smooth.
