I Carved the Pumpkin — Now What? 6 Ideas for Roasted Seeds. Baked Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wings Recipe. Monday, January 4, 2010 This recipe for Baked Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wings is a must-try. If I could, I’d duct tape it front and center on my favorite recipes list. These, along with Momofuku’s Chicken Wings make me a very happy girl. Forget Buffalo wings, forget even the Hooters wings (I just heard my husband gasp). The next time you’re at the market, grab a couple pounds of wings and try this out. But wait. The dipping sauce is a mixture of blue cheese dressing with Dijon mustard! Ingredients:1 teaspoon dried oregano1 teaspoon dried rosemary1/2 teaspoon ground cumin1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt (1/2 tsp table salt)2 1/2 pounds chicken wings2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (or melted butter)2 tablespoons minced fresh basil2 garlic cloves, finely minced1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (like Lawry's)1 cup blue cheese dressing1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (or to taste)Directions:1.

Leave a Comment. Pumpkin Spice Latte. Every year around this time the world seems to go crazy for Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes Photo Source The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes are lovely… But you can make them at home And I’d like to think my make-at-home version wins Why? Because you can make them vegan at home, if you so choose. And the ones you purchase are generally made with fake, sugary, pumpkin-flavored syrups, not real pumpkin puree. It should be noted that this is a natural latte, made with real pumpkin puree and real pumpkin pie spice. Since some people enjoy a daily dose of HFCS, you make lattes at home and can control what goes into your latte. Another reason the at-home version wins is because you could go into the poorhouse if you like your coffee as much as I like mine buying these specialty drinks. I bet the cost per cup of the homemade latte is less than a quarter and probably even less. Far less than the $4 coffee shop lattes and the cheapskate in me wants to make things at home whenever possible.

Like I mentioned in my post the other week, the last time I did a big cooking day, I had a big ah-ha moment.

Although, I had a blast with Lauren, it was logistically very difficult to accomplish. So this latest big cooking day, I did it by myself and only did slow cooker recipes. Basically, all I was did was chop vegetables and assemble ingredients. Even with doing it this way, it was still a 3 hour affair, but during this time I was able to finish all the cooking AND the cleaning. Once I was done and cleaned everything up, I felt like I had invented electricity! Recipes | The Skinny Confidential.

Two Ingredient Pancakes: Bananas and Eggs. Are you kidding me?! This recipe is ridiculous. A real LOL-er, right? Like, I’m never.ever.ever. making real pancakes again. Lately this mashed banana + egg recipe has been blowing up the fitness/health blogs [ one lovely reader also recommended this to me + Blogilates + The Fitness Dish ]. For shits & giggles, I added my own touches: a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, some ground flaxseed, a bit of vanilla, & a dash of cinnamon. But honestly, just the two measly ingredients of bananas & egg are perfection.

Ok. Happy Tuesday! Love.L The Skinny, Skinny Pancake { Serves 2-3 } 1 mashed, super ripe banana 2 eggs Coconut oil for the pan My additions: a bit of pumpkin pie spice, 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed [ this really, really holds the mixture together ], a bit of vanilla, & a dash of cinnamon. Optional: all-natural maple syrup + berries + Directions: mash your banana with a fork.

Veggie burgers. To many, the expression itself is a contradiction in terms. If you've never had a veggie burger, the whole notion of making a grilled patty without meat may seem kind of crazy; if you're one of the many people who has experienced a lousy veggie burger, then you might not wish to repeat the experience anytime soon. So what's a veggie burger, anyway? I've experimented with countless combinations and approaches to veggie burgers, and I have my personal preferences: varied and creative herbs and spices, ample use of beans and lentils to add protein and texture, and the unexpected inclusion of veggies. 1. 2. 3. 4. And as for toppings? How To Make Banana Bread - Best Easy Recipe. It is the truth universally acknowledged that there is no better bread than that which is made of banana.

Crock Pot Bread Baking (Fast Bread in a Slow Cooker) When I moved to the midwest I was introduced to Crock Pot cooking. I had never even seen a slow cooker before and had no idea the range of foods that could be created in a plug-in cooking pot. Since then I have had everything from No-Peek-Chicken, Swedish Meatballs and Peach cobbler, done in one of these magic devices. When my husband was an art director Aveda they had “crock pot parties,” which meant everyone plugged in their slow cookers at their desks and made a dish to share.

Brilliant! Maybe kids should bring crock pots to school and have healthy food cooking at their desks. But, bread in a crock pot? 1 pound dough (Click here for our No-Knead 5-Minute Bread Recipe. Form the dough into a ball and place it on a sheet of parchment paper. Update: I just mixed up a fresh batch of ABin5 Peasant Bread Dough, let it rise for the two hours in the bucket, then formed a 1-pound loaf and stuck it in the crock pot. Turn the temperature to high and put on the cover. Related Post: 17 Apart: Recipe: White Sangria & Ice Pops. Sangria has been happening in our house this summer — white sangria (well, rosé by the looks of the picture above) to be exact.

We like making batches when we have extra fruit on hand for weekend brunch or a late afternoon refresher. Here's the recipe for the latest version I whipped up. Ingredients: 1 bottle of dry white wine1/4 cup mint infused simple syrup1/4 cup waterlemon slicesDiced fresh fruit (I used peaches, apples and blackberries) To make sangria, simply combine each of the ingredients above in a pitcher, give a quick stir and let sit in the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving to really let everything get happy. Once chilled, pour fresh sangria into glasses and enjoy — it can be that simple.
