After making this recipe a few times a lightbulb went off. Ah yes, genius.

It was a nice change from your standard lasagna (even though I absolutely love that too). It was really easy for me as well because I used canned everything so all I had to do what dump and mix ingredients. So it went very quickly, which I always love. We had it again on Sunday and it tasted even better the next day because all of the flavors had time to blend wonderfully.

Original recipe from tasteofhome.com. Summer Recipe: White Peach-Lavender Soda. What does one do when one receives a gift of perfect and oh-so-fragrant lavender from a friend's garden? If one is like me and has just finished writing a book of homebrewing projects and suddenly has free time to play with recipes not going into the book, one naturally thinks about making soda.

Lavender became a bit of a nemesis when writing True Brews. I learned the hard way that one scoop too many can take the lavender flavor from softly enchanting to soapy-tasting catastrophe in less time than it takes to say "Uh oh. " I finally nailed the recipe, but it's left me with some rather hard feelings toward lavender. But contemplating my bounty of lavender last week, I figured that a soda would be safe. The white peaches and white nectarines are phenomenal right now. And they were. I didn't intend or expect that lovely pink color either.

White Peach-Lavender SodaMakes about 4 to 6 servings (enough to fill a recycled 1-liter soda bottle) Wash and roughly chop the peaches. Add the yeast. Soft Pretzel Bites with Cheese Sauce. I am a complete sucker for mall pretzels. And it’s a darn good thing that you’ll only find me at the mall once or twice a year because more trips would like equal more pretzels. And as much as I love them, I’ve only made them once before, admittedly to great success but since Kyle isn’t a huge fan (crazy boy), I haven’t made them again.

But in all the years since I first made them, there’s been one recipe I’ve been saving and I finally decided to bust it out just in time to share it with you while you’re all getting crazy planning your Super Bowl (or maybe anti-Super Bowl?) Party menus. So this recipe isn’t any big secret; in fact, it’s probably the most widely adored one out there but if you haven’t made it yet, you need to get.on.it. Soft Pretzel Bites with Cheese Sauce If one batch of pretzels is too much for your needs or you want to make them in advance for a party, these pretzel bites can be frozen after you cut them and before you boil them. Ingredients For the pretzels: Source. Red Velvet Hot Cocoa with Cream Cheese Whipped Cream.

It seems like recently, my diet has consisted wholly of hot chocolate, soups and my any type of salad topped with my favorite new green apple vinaigrette (recipe soon)! Seriously though, I've been sipping on hot chocolate or some kind of homemade latte every other day, if not every day. This is probably because of my innate need for all things holiday to consume me. I'm the kind of girl who loves her winter weather. Although, you and I might have awful different ideas about what 'winter weather' means. Anyways, along with Christmas music, this red velvet hot chocolate is all I need to keep me warm on these cold Californian nights. Red Velvet Hot Cocoa with Cream Cheese Whipped Cream Yields: 4 servings 4 cups whole milk 1 dash water 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips1/4 cup sugar 1 tsp. red food coloring 1 cup heavy whipping cream 2 - 4 tbsn. whipped cream cheese, room temperature In a stand mixer, combine the heavy cream and sugar.

Chocolate Soup for Two. Valentine's day is exactly one month away and I'm elbow deep in chocolate recipes. I've been searching for ideas and inspiration for sweet, edible tokens of affection. Recently while watching a food show on TV, I saw chocolate soup being served at a popular chocolate bar/buffet. Patrons were proclaiming their love (between slurps of soup) for the warm, velvety smoothness and rich chocolaty flavor. I got out a pen and paper and wrote: In my search I've found so many variations on chocolate soup, I didn't know which one to try! I wanted to lighten the soup without compromising the richness or velvety texture. I used Ghiradelli semisweet baking chips, but the variations on this recipe are as numerous as there are varieties of chocolate.

This dessert should be served warm. I think this would be an excellent Valentine's day dessert to share with someone special, even if that someone special is your Grandma. S’mores S’mores S’mores. Oreo Cookies-Recipe Oreo-Oreo Recipes-Cheese Cupcakes-Oreo Cheesecakes. Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Wednesday, 21st July 2010 I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t like Oreo cookies or Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes. Who could resist cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies? Not Me! Especially the double-stuffed Oreo cookie, it’s one of the best cookies for dunking into a cold glass of milk. I went out yesterday to do my weekly shop, came home, and before I was able to bring in the first grocery bag Matt was hunting for the cookies and cream ice cream.

One of Matt’s favourite desserts of all time is cherry cheesecake and I thought to myself why not Oreo Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes, that should satisfy his craving. Plus these cheesecakes are super easy to prepare, everything comes together in one bowl and there’s no crushing chocolate wafers with a rolling pin, then melting butter, baking the crust first and then baking a second time when filled. Drop an Oreo cookie into each muffin tin, make filling, add chopped cookies, bake, and enjoy, how easy is that? Perfect Endings Peanut Butter Cup Cake.

The only caveat is that it involve caffeine. Done and Done. Reptar Bars. If there was one TV show that could summarize my childhood in its entirety, it would be Rugrats.

I absolutely loved that show as a kid, probably because it was so darn relatable with all the wild imaginary adventures the kids had. I was browsing the instant view tab on my netflix account last week and was ecstatic when I saw Rugrats Seasons 1-4 under New Arrivals. Of course, the next several days were spent watching the first two seasons, and I realized I love the show just as much now as I did when I was five years old.

The writing and characters are just so consistently great, the perfect combination of funny and adorable. I'd been thinking about what sweet and tasty treat to make for myself lately, and after watching the Halloween episode in the 1st season, my question was answered. Reptar Bars!!!!
