Alicia’s Awesome Crab Rangoon. I invented this recipe many years ago… when I was in high school. I loved eating crab rangoon at Asian restaurants, and of course there were none of those in my hometown of under 1,000. Like a lot of recipes I come up with, this one was invented out of necessity. And it was awesome . Thus, I christened it: Alicia’s Awesome Crab Rangoon. I’ve matured (slightly) since then, so I considered re-naming them, but the fact of the matter remains… they’re still awesome. I’ve only tweaked it a little here and there, and it just gets better every time. Since the crab in the filling is already cooked, I’ve even made the filling and served it as crab dip. You can also make these ahead of time and freeze them uncooked. Here’s the details… And here’s the recipe… Alicia’s Awesome Crab Rangoon Mix together all ingredients except wontons.
Makes about 30 rangoon, or 2 cups of filling. Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Chicken Bites. 610K+Add bacon to anything and it will fly off the table. That’s what a caterer once told me and I believe it.

Brazilian Lemonade. This is my most favorite drink. Ever. Maybe I’d feel differently if I drank (as in alcohol), but there is nothing I love more than a warm, breezy afternoon and a pitcher of Brazilian lemonade. I didn’t try it for a long, long time because I was very put off by putting sweetened condensed milk in with citrus fruit. It seemed very wrong. It starts off with fresh, juicy limes.

Place 1/2 of the limes in your blender. Idiot proof way to poaching eggs. | NARCISSISM IS NECESSARY. How to poach an egg: Boil water, add some vinegar, stir water to create a whirpool-like effect, crack an egg into the eye of the “whirpool” and voila……poached eggs! Easy peasy right? Nope. Not even close. Poaching eggs is one of the single most difficult and frustrating things I’ve ever done in the kitchen. My eggs always disintegrate in the water. They say you should use the freshest eggs but hello I don’t live on a farm and I don’t always want to eat poached eggs immediately after buying new eggs.
So imagine how happy I was, when I managed to catch an episode of Master Chef Australia which taught the contestants how to poach an egg in a way entirely different from what I’ve read or watched before.

Ever since I made my daughter strawberry pop tarts last month she’s been asking for them every morning. To have some fun I’ve been switching up fillings, using apricot jam, blueberry jam and grape jam. Then, last week, I took it over the top and filled them with nutella. Yes, nutella. I mean, nutella always seems to be the next step after peanut butter and jam anyway, right?

With term papers looming and the dining hall already closed for the night, food had to come from somewhere. That was the night I learned to make ramen in my coffee maker. At first I was nervous, pouring the hot water over noodles in my bowl, covering them, and letting it steep.
Eventually, I became more adventurous: cooking the noodles in the carafe; putting the seasoning packet in the basket that normally holds the filter; adding an egg. This was cheap food prepared in as cheap a manner as possible. 1. Put two packets of instant oatmeal into the carafe. A dead simple recipe, but with the twist of adding a tea bag for flavor. 2. Fill a coffee filter with six broccoli florets. Clever coffee maker cooks will find a way to whip up a cheese sauce to go with this. 3. Put 1/2 cup of instant rice per person in the coffee maker. Rice cookers are for squares. 4. Place the eggs in the coffee pot. 5. Place chicken breast in coffee maker. 6. 7. Perfect Iced Coffee « Open-Cola. Best Chicken Ever Recipe.
