This is not the demure individually-portioned dessert served in restaurants with white tablecloths. No, ma'am. According to my mother, my grandma would make this for the kids when a special treat was merited. This messy, sticky, cocoa-rich affair is more like a self-saucing brownie than anything else. And like all such things, it's best served warm and with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. In the copy of Favorite Recipes from First United Methodist Church of Stillwater, Minnesota that has been passed down to me, the recipe for "Chocolate Cake Pudding" by Shirley Nelson is circled in bold blue ink.

As is the next recipe for "Chocolate Goo" from Judy Powell. And the one for "Fudge Pudding Cake" from Doris LaVayea. In a quick phone consultation with my mother, she laughed and admitted that she had no idea which of these venerable church ladies' recipes my grandma followed, though she's absolutely sure it used cold water. The resulting warm, fudgy, gooey dessert is just perfect. How To Make Sprinkles for Cupcakes, Cookies & Cakes! Previous image Next image A few days ago Stella, the blogger at BraveTart, blew my mind. She said that you could make sprinkles easily in your own kitchen. Crazy, I thought — brilliant! I obviously had to try it. Here's how it turned out for me, documented step by step. Homemade Decorative Sprinkles Now, you may be asking already: Why in the heck would anyone want to make their own sprinkles?

1. 2. 3. Stella explained that her reason for making these is that she is working for a bakery that wants to have everything made in house — even decorations. . • Rainbow Sprinkles at BraveTart This is basically a recipe for royal icing, piped into long thin stripes, and left to dry overnight.

Freeze & Preserve Fresh Herbs in Olive Oil Kitchen Tip.

Do you use your freezer to preserve herbs, vegetables, or fruit? The freezer can be a powerful, overlooked method of preserving. Pesto, strawberry puree, tomato soup — stash them away now for colder times! One of my favorite ingredients, a handful of fresh herbs from the garden, is one of the simplest things to preserve in the freezer, and I just learned a new, better way to freeze herbs: In oil! I noticed a post at The Gardener's Eden (read it here) recommending that you freeze some herbs in oil. Why? Preserving herbs in oil reduces some of the browning and freezer burn that herbs can get in the freezer. It's also a great way to have herbs ready immediately for winter stews, roasts, soups, and potato dishes.

Given this use, the oil-and-freezer method of preservation works best with the tougher hard herbs such as rosemary, sage, thyme, and oregano. For me, the best use of the freezer when it comes to herbs is preserving hard herbs in oil or broth, although now I prefer oil. Next image. Bac"In" Pancakes ∙ Recipe by Chrystal J.

Well, in my household, the way to Mr. CG’s heart is through a bowl of very hot homemade soup.

The man likes his soup. Hot. Tasty. And homemade. My criteria? I made this again last night. Your thighs won’t thank you. Recipe: Easy Potato & Corn Chowder with Bacon Crumble 2 tbsp olive oil 1/2 inch pat of butter 1 small yellow onion (or 1/2 large yellow onion) 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth 6 medium yellow potatoes 3/4 teaspoon thyme (or sprig of fresh thyme) 1/2 tsp white pepper Salt to taste 1 1/2 cups frozen corn 2 cups half & half Dash tabasco or hot sauce (optional) Crumbled bacon Sour cream topping (optional) Heat olive oil and butter in pan.

Add a dollop of sour cream and some bacon crumble and you’ve got yourself a happy home. Cakey Chocolate Chip (Subway) Cookies – Damla Çikolata Kurabiye. How to make Fluffy Pancakes – Recipe – (and Chocolate Chip Pancakes!) Every Sunday, my dad used to make a yummy homemade breakfast for all of us, and we’d gather in the kitchen for some nice family time. It was awesome, and man… that guy can make some breakfast! Sometimes it was waffles or french toast, but probably the most frequent (and my favorite) was chocolate chip pancakes (with lil’ smokies breakfast sausages…mmm). This isn’t his recipe, but it’s durned good. 1 digg digg First, dump 3 cups of flour into a bowl. And add 6 Tablespoons of sugar.

Then throw in 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 2 Tablespoons of baking powder. Mix mix mix. In a measuring cup, mix 1 cup of milk and 1/3 cup canola oil (or other veggie oil). You can pour slowly and dramatically if you want. Stir it up and decide if it’s battery enough (haha battery) for you. Add milk until it’s the right texture for you.

Once your pan is heated over medium heat, spoon in some pancakes. And when they get nice and puffy and have bubbles rising to the top like this… It’s time to flip them! Help yourself! 3 eggs. Pie On A Stick. Every Thing Tastes Better On A Stick I made these last year for fun, and then made them for Thanksgiving and they were a hit. Would be good with any pie filling! Think I might try cherry this year. I originally saw the idea in Better Homes and Gardens and they had a recipe for the filling, I cheated and used a good canned filling. Ingredients: 1 15-oz pkg refrigerated pie crust (2 crusts) 10-12 paper or wooden lollipop sticks Your favorite pie filling (I cut the apples in mine to be just little then mashed with a fork a bit) 1 egg, separated 1 tablespoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg A few notes on making the pies.

Eggs Benedict. If you’ve never tried it, you must. If you’ve always considered it the kind of dish only Thurston Howell the Third-types eat, think again. If you’re scared of it…you’ve got some serious issues. I kid! Eggs Benedict, folks. Eggs Benedict, folks. It’s so disgustingly delicious, it’s almost disgusting. There are two components to Eggs Benedict that some might consider challenging.

Sounds fun, doesn’t it? The Cast of Characters: Eggs, Butter, Lemon Juice, Cayenne Pepper, Canadian Bacon, and English Muffins. First, bring a pot of water to a boil. While the water’s boiling, place a few English muffin halves and an equal number of Canadian Bacon slices on a cookie sheet. Now, with a spoon, begin stirring the boiling water in a large, circular motion. When the tornado’s really twisting, crack in an egg.

It’s difficult to see because of the motion, but what’s happening is, the egg is wrapping around itself as it cooks, keeping it together. This is what it looks like a minute into cooking. And now. Cinnamon Toast the Right Way. Oooooh. You’re getting ready to get a taste of Me, Opinionated. Be sure to take a photo! You won’t see it very often. Lucky for you, I won’t be revealing my expert views on the environment, the stimulus, the new health care legislation, or whether Standard Poodles ever should have been cross-bred with Golden Retrievers. Instead, I’ll be tearing apart the all-important subject of…cinnamon toast. Did you know there’s a right way and a wrong way to make cinnamon toast?

It’s sure a good thing I came into the picture. Before I show you THE right way to make cinnamon toast, I’m going to review a few different approaches so that we can do a compare/contrast at the end of this post. Butter a slice of bread. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl… Stir it to combine. Sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of the butter, then pop it in the oven: 10 minutes at 350, then finish it off under the broiler (I’ll give you my reasons for this method later.) Then as soon as you remove it from the oven… Now. Perfect Iced Coffee. Iced coffee is my life. When I wake up, often around the time party animals on the west coast are just heading home, I start each day not with a cup of freshly brewed hot java, but with a tall, blessed glass of creamy iced coffee in a glass.

I’ve been an iced coffee freakazoid for years and years. To say I couldn’t live without it is an understatement. It gives me the tools I need to cope. Iced coffee is a complicated thing, and there are many different approaches. 1. Given the previous set of facts, one would assume that the logical solution would be to brew hot coffee, then transfer the brew to the fridge, allow it to cool, and use it to make iced coffee from there.

There are reasons this method results in a smoother, richer, more delicious concentrate than simply brewing strong coffee and refrigerating it. (Note: I’ve totally adapted/tweaked coffee/water amounts to suit my own tastes. I start with a big ol’ container. Rip open a pound of ground coffee. Pour in the coffee. Glorious. Brandy Snaps. These are incredible, lovely, and wonderful. And beautiful. And crisp, and textural, and creamy and dreamy. Convinced yet? They’re Brandy Snaps, a light cannoli-like cylindrical cookie typically filled with anything from buttercream to brandy-spiked whipped cream. Make them today, then make them again for your holiday party. Throw a stick of butter and some molasses into a skillet.

Add some white sugar… And some brown sugar. Stir it around over medium heat until the butter melts. How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? Bring it to a gentle boil, allow it to cook for about a minute, then turn off the heat. Measure flour, ground ginger, and salt… And throw it into the pan. Stir it around until combined, then add in some brandy and stir to combine. Now, measure a tablespoon of the mixture at a time… And spoon circles onto a parchment or baking mat-lined cookie sheet. Only put about eight circles on the pan at a time, as they’ll really spread out while baking. Like this! Lightly press to seal it together… Bang… Classic Corn Dogs and Cheese-on-a-Stick. For the second State Fair recipe, I whipped up some hot dogs and cheese-on-a-stick reminiscent not just of state fairs and carnivals…but also of shopping malls in the eighties: this is said to be the same batter recipe used by the famous Corn Dog 7 chain of stores, and if you don’t remember Corn Dog 7, you’re way too young and probably don’t have slack abdominal muscles or jowls yet.

I feel very sorry for you! Corn Dog 7 had fabulous hot dogs, of course…but their Cheese-on-a-Stick was what I loved the most as I traipsed through the mall with my best friend Jenn, buying things like neon pink fingerless gloves and Soloflex posters and Duran Duran tapes. I miss the Eighties so much it hurts. I’m going to go text Jenn right now. One thing about this blessed, glorious batter: if you have any left over, it makes perfect pancakes the next day. And for that matter, you can use the batter to coat and fry cooked breakfast sausage links, then serve them with pancake syrup for “dipping.” Seriously. Sloppy Joes II Recipe.

The BEST Cake Known to Man (Gooey Chocolate Cake)
