Vanilla Latte Cookies. November 3, 2011 | Print | E-mail | Filed under 12weeksofchristmascookies, cookie Now that Halloween is over (and we’re halfway through the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies!) , are you already planning for Thanksgiving? I know some who are already knee-deep in planning, and others who haven’t even thought about it yet. I’m somewhere in between; since it’s my turn to host again this year, I’ve been trying to put together a menu at least so that I can let people know what else to bring.

So far it’s slow-going, although I do have a few ideas in mind. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened2/3 cup powdered sugar1 Tbsp instant espresso1 tsp vanilla1 vanilla bean, split and scraped1/4 tsp ground cinnamon2 cups all-purpose flour Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Had taken over the bed. I subsisted on packages of Trader Joe’s chile and cheese tamales enrobed in a packets of luscious Taco Bell Mild Sauce, plenty of griddled bean and cheese quesadillas, shreds of tortilla raked through store-bought hummus, meals delivered in styrofoam take-out boxes, even a package of instant ramen. And then there was that potluck to which everyone ended up bringing a dessert, and lots of beer. It was great! But unsustainable.

Chipotle Cheese Crisps, Version 2.0. Recipe: Alton Brown's Brownies. Homemade Tortillas. Making soft delicious tortillas at home is surprisingly easy. In fact, once I started making my own suddenly all our dinners and lunches were rolled up in fresh tortillas.

The dough is made from flour, shortening, water, and salt. I had all the ingredients on hand but the shortening.. which ended up only costing two dollars and has lasted through many many batches of tortillas. Considering how cheap the ingredients are and how delicious they taste it just doesn't make sense to pay for the much more expensive packaged ones. To make the dough you first work the shortening into the flour.

Next some hot tap water and salt is stirred in with a fork until a dough forms. To make sure that the tortillas are the same size the easiest thing to do is roll the dough into a log and then cut it into equal pieces. Since the dough is a medium-stiff consistency it might be easier just to squeeze it into a log shape rather than roll it. Each ball gets rolled out into the seven inch diameter circle. 1. 2.

Enjoy!!! Baked French Toast — Delishhh. Wednesday, October 8, 2008 About two weeks ago I hosted a baby shower for a good friend of mine. Every time I have a large group of people for brunch I make at least these two things 1. Strata and 2. Baked French Toast. The Strata recipe I will share at a later time. But I do these things because you can prepare these things the night before, and the day off all you have to do it stick them in the oven in the same temperature and it works out great.

The funny thing is that I had no idea what French toast was before I moved to the US (long time ago) and on top of that I hated sweet things for breakfast, sweet things were for dessert. Baked French ToastServes 8-10 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Bake Time: 45 minutes1 stick of butter ¾ cups of brown sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 1 loaf of cinnamon raisin bread 4 eggs beaten 1 ½ cup of half and halfIn a pan slowly melt the butter and add the brown sugar to it and then the cinnamon.

Lunch Sandwich Round-Up. Weekday Vegetarian: Spinach and Avocado Salad with Garlic Mustard Vinaigrette. Jaymi's Notes:I can never turn down a recipe that calls for avocado. Especially one that uses a tangy dressing that can can brighten the mild flavors of avocado and spinach. This salad whips up quickly which is yet another reason to love it. I'm not a fan of raw garlic so I left it out of the dressing, but I don't think it suffered -- the dressing was still wonderfully zippy.

So you can customize this based on whether or not you enjoy such a strong (and lasting) flavor.

I once made the driest pancake in the world. I can see you sitting at home, staring at your computer screen, and scoffing at my bold statement. Driest pancake in the world? Yeah, right. How would you even know? But this is the truth, my friends. Let me share my story with you. A few years back, I made chocolate chip pancakes. Quickly flash to the next morning. Still cold. Confusion. Was the microwave broken? I got angry, as one will when they want food and want it now. When I took it out, the pancake was slightly less cool. It took me a few hours to realize what had happened. It only stands to reason that my pancake was so utterly dry that there wasn't enough water in it to be absorbed by the microwaves. Thus, the world's driest pancake was born. And to think I took a bite... Luckily, this Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread is definitely not dry.

Bubble Tea, Pearl Tea, Tapioca and Boba Supply. Roasted Tomato and Fennel Soup — Delishhh. Wednesday, April 6, 2011 Fennel is one of those vegetables that are pretty intimidating to a few people. It has a specific anis flavor, and I have to admit I have stayed away from fennel because many folks do not like it. Don’t get me wrong I love anis, just like the liqueur Pernot but I feel it is an acquired taste. A few weeks ago I went to an event where I was serving tomato and fennel soup and it was just delicious. Since then I have been experimenting with tomatoes and fennel and have a new favorite tomato soup.

There are a few key things here that makes this soup a deep sweet delicious flavor; roasting the tomatoes and caramelizing the fennel. When roasting tomatoes use ripe but firm tomatoes so they don’t get soft too quickly. What do you make with fennel?
