Cruft: Lasagna Cupcakes - StumbleUpon. When Intelligentsia Coffee opened in Pasadena recently, I was intrigued the lasagna cupcakes they served.

Cruft: Lasagna Cupcakes - StumbleUpon

The cupcakes are made by Heirloom LA, a catering business. About the size of a muffin, a single lasagna cupcake was a delicious meal. After seeing how much my daughter enjoyed them (she ate my entire cupcake and I had to order a second one), I decided I had to try making them at home. After a bit of research, here is my method. The girls love them and take them to school as lunch.

The ingredients are fairly simple. Spray or wipe the cupcake tin with olive oil for prevent sticking and add a little flavor. Once you filled in the first layer, gently press another wrapper in, forming another cup. Once you've placed the second wrapper, repeat the filling as you see fit. 10 Favorite Deli and Diner Sandwich Recipes - KitchenDaily - StumbleUpon.

This is a casserole dish that combines cubed potatoes with a ranch/cream of mushroom soup sauce, cheese, and bacon. Those ingredients alone should be enough to hint that this recipe is pretty good. I felt like I cubed the potatoes a little too big so I would recommend slicing the potatoes a little thinner. If you want to skip the step of boiling the potatoes, they can be done in the oven but will need to cook for longer depending on how big they are cut. This is a great recipe for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Ingredients: 8-10 medium potatoes (cut into ½” cubes) 1 can cream of mushroom soup (undiluted) 1 ½ cups milk 1 envelope ranch dressing mix 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided) salt and pepper 6 bacon slices (cooked until crispy and crumbled) Cooking Instructions: Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Chris originally thought we should name this blog “The Timeless Kitchen” because the oven has no clock. That’s right, read ‘em and weep, literally. At some point the LYK oven’s clock shorted and started beeping uncontrollably, as our smoke alarm also tends to do. Naturally, the previous tenants thought it best to simply rip out the clock. For our first few months living in the LYK we had to guess what the numbers on the temperature dial were since they had all conveniently worn off. Please try not to be jealous of our super upscale kitchen.
