Homemade Marshmallows Recipe at Epicurious. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil.
Using a small, fine-mesh sieve, dust the pan generously with confectioners' sugar, knocking out any excess. Put 1/2 cup water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Sprinkle the gelatin into the bowl and stir briefly to make sure all the gelatin is in contact with water. Let soften while you make the sugar syrup. In a heavy 3- to 4-quart saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup water. With the mixer on low speed, pour the hot sugar syrup into the softened gelatin in a thin stream down the side of the bowl.

The same old sandwich can be boring day after day. Recipe for Grilled Zucchini Pizza Slices. This idea of grilled zucchini used as a base for pizza toppings is one of those cooking ideas that swirl around in my head, and sometimes I'm never sure if I thought of it or saw it somewhere else.
I kept wondering how it would work to arrange a marriage between Grilled Zucchini and Val's Kid-Friendly Broiled Zucchini Rounds with Cheese, with the offspring having a little pizza personality, and when I saw Alea's Eggplant Pizza Bites on $5 Dinners, it convinced me to try it. Even so, this is only a recipe in the very loosest sense of the word, because anything you like on pizza could be cooked on top of a thick slice of grilled or broiled zucchini. I'm a pepperoni girl, so of course I had to have that, but the topping options are endless here. Admittedly, this is not a pizza in the truest sense of the word, but if you'd like pizza flavors with a "crust" that's gluten-free, low-glycemic, and low-carb, this is an idea you may end up liking just as much as I did!

The brainchild of Sharon Bowers, a former Food Network staffer, the cookbook is packed with clever, easy, and delightfully gross Halloween treats. A Cook's Quest: The Best Ever Blueberry Muffins. Last week a co-worker's husband called work and when I answered the phone he started raving about the muffins his wife had made the night before.
He told me they were the best muffins she had ever made, which is saying a lot because she is a fabulous cook. Later in the day I asked her for the recipe and she quickly printed it for me. Let's me just say, that these are definitely the best muffins I have ever made. They have a light, cake like texture that isn't too sweet. The best part about them is the wonderful blueberry swirl that combines with the whole berries. **I'm linking this recipe! Top 20 Unique Cupcake Recipes of 2010.
