Top 10 Awesome Dips. White Chocolate Cookie Dough Snowballs. By Lauren, on December 20th, 2009 Fact: this recipe is much more likely to fall under the category of “living to eat” than “eating to live”. Fiction: healthy living blogs should not be able to occasionally feature recipes for food with little-to-no nutritional value.

Fact: ’tis the time of the year for treats and splurges ( in moderation, of course ). Although I did tweak the original recipe a bit, I’m not going to attempt to pass off these sweet little bites as a healthy snack. These “snowballs” are a decadent dessert through and through, which I maintain has its place in any diet. A rich white chocolate shell enrobes an egg-less chocolate chip cookie dough filling to create these scrumptious indulgences.

White Chocolate Cookie Dough Snowballs adapted from Paula Deen’s Cookie Dough Truffles yields 25-30 snowballs (I halved the original recipe) Ingredients: Directions: Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter (or margarine) and brown sugar in a large bowl until creamy. 50 of the World’s Best Breakfasts from Around the World. – Written by Victoria Philpott Not quite had your fill of breakfasts just yet?

Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes. “Scalloped” is an attractive word, isn’t it? When I hear it I think of several things: first, there’s scallops, as in the seafood—totally delicious.

Then there’s the scalloped shape that can live on the edge of a pair of shorts or on the collar of a woman’s blouse—always pretty and dainty. And of course scalloped potatoes also comes to mind, which carries my imagination to a land of crispy potato skins drenched in a sea of cheese and cream. I can think of no better place to exist, actually. So when I came across TK member Shelbi Keith’s recipe for Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes, I knew we were going to become fast friends. I couldn’t have been more correct. The first players up are: a few Russet potatoes (I’m sure other varieties will work equally as well), Parmigiano-Reggiano and butter.

I’ve been in a mini-mood lately when it comes to baking and these bite-sized pies met my big craving. They are really, really easy. Let me show ya. Of course, it didn’t hurt that I used ready to roll refrigerated pie crust.

It comes two to a box and if you roll each round pie crust a little bit thinner with a rolling pin, you can get 24 mini pumpkin-shaped pie crusts out of them. Make sure you use all the dough scraps and re-roll to maximize quantities. Then, stuff each one in a mini muffin baking pan. Press the dough down, in and around the edge of each muffin cup. Fill each pie crust with pumpkin filling all the way to the top. When they come out of the oven, they’ll be puffed up like this. But no, after they cool for a few, they’ll fall and be flush with the pie crust. See… easy mini pumpkin pie bites. You can even drizzle them with melted chocolate to jazz them up a bit. But wait… you say you don’t want to wait until Thanksgiving. I don’t blame you. Cute! And I’ll say it again… easy! Enjoy! The best new recipes from Framed Cooks — punchfork.com. Broccoli parmesan fritters.

Last week, it was pointed out to me that among the 750 recipes in the archives, there is but a single recipe that utilizes broccoli. Just one! (It’s a great one, though.) For comparison, there are 11 recipes that use cauliflower and 26 with mushrooms. What terrible oversight could have led to this? I buy broccoli (and its friends) approximately once a week, year-round but this wasn’t always the case. I never disliked broccoli — I’m not this guy — but it wasn’t until my toddler took a great interest in chomping down on huge florets, raw, cooked, or three days old, that it became part of our regular rotation. Please understand: this is not one of those stories about how preciously advanced my toddler’s tastes are, how early he took an interest in foie gras and how he turns his nose up at white flour pastas, preferring farro. So, you know where this is going. And with that, I had them for lunch instead.
