Italian BBQ Marinade

This is one of the best pork tenderloins we've ever made. We didn't have any leftovers; It was absolutely delicious! The marinade was a little sweet from the BBQ sauce and a little tangy from the Worcestershire sauce. I used Wishbone Italian Dressing and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. http://www.plainchicken.com/2012/06/italian-bbq-marinade.html

Recipe for Mall Food Court Buttery Homemade Pretzel Bites

I have a confession to make. I love mall food court food… There, I said it. Do you think less of me now? I understand if you do… truly… guess we won’t be hanging out at the mall together anytime soon then, which is a bummer. http://dineanddish.net/2011/02/mall-food-recipe-homemade-pretzel-bites/

I know, it seems very strange to put "baked" and "doughnuts" in the same sentence and then expect you to believe me when I say they were good...but they were! But why would I turn a completely good fried piece of Americana into a baked good? Well, for once I was curious to try another recipe after my first success last year .
I am so sick. Of myself. Do you know what I mean? I'm just fed up TO HERE with me . I feel boring, uninspired, whiny, ridiculous, apathetic, and just TOTALLY BLEH. I feel like white bread looks . http://velvetlava.blogspot.com/2009/02/i-am-now-in-muffin-loop.html

Three Safe-to-Eat Cookie Doughs: Chocolate Chip, Sugar, and Cake Batter!

I’m siiiiick. If you follow Willow Bird Baking on Facebook or Twitter (you do, right?), you’ve probably heard me whining about it lately (okay, maybe this isn’t the best way to encourage you to follow). It started with a sore throat and has turned into a beastly, phlegmatic ogre of a cold that has taken up residence in my chest and commenced hanging draperies and such. I have protested this development with various hot teas, soups, and my favorite home remedy suggested by readers: complaining. I know my students are to blame for this plague!

Soft Pretzel Tots

There’s this game…not sure if you’ve heard of it…but it seriously is all consuming. Like, it swallows people for like 4 months out of the year. They join fantasy leagues. (We’ll get back to that in a second…) They scream at the television. Become depressed if their teams loses. http://acozykitchen.com/soft-pretzel-tots/

Microwave Peanut Brittle

http://www.plainchicken.com/2011/12/microwave-peanut-brittle.html#more This is my Mom's recipe for peanut brittle. It is really easy and doesn't require a candy thermometer! You make this brittle in the microwave!
We grill year round. It doesn't matter if it is 100 degrees or 17 degrees outside. It doesn't bother me because I am inside making the side dishes; Chicken Legs is the one outside in the weather. He doesn't mind grilling in this frigid weather, but he certainly prefers to grill in the summer! I found this recipe on the Epicurious app on my trusty iPad. http://www.plainchicken.com/2011/01/make-me-crazy-grill-marinade.html

Make-Me-Crazy Grill Marinade

A few weeks ago I shared my recipe for Cinnamon Roll Pulls , a sweet pull apart bread. In the post I mentioned a savory cheesy version. I had several requests for the cheesy bread recipe. Well, you asked for it, you got it!

Salted Caramel Sauce | Recipe Girl

http://www.recipegirl.com/2011/12/17/salted-caramel-sauce-printable-labels/ Salted Caramel Sauce + Printable Labels I can cook, and I can bake, and I used to be a teacher… but I’m not always the craftiest of people. So I’m pretty proud that I successfully made some (cute) jars of Salted Caramel Sauce to give away as holiday gifts this year. This stuff should really be called Salted Caramel Crack.

60 Second Chocolate Chip Cookie A la Mode

I had so much fun developing this recipe. Talk about kinda dangerous though. This baby is baked in 60 seconds, no lie!! The cookie dough recipe is prepared right in your ramekin, so we are also talking about minimal dishes. Win win, right? You know those fabulous pizzookie’s you order at certain restaurants?
Say hello to my new favorite appetizer. Don’t be shy. I found this gem a few weeks ago while sorting through Mother Lovett’s recipes … and aren’t these the best ones ever? I KNOW.

Fleur de Sel Caramels

Ever since I saw Ina Garten make homemade fleur de sel caramels awhile back, I’ve been itching to give them a try myself. I have to admit that candy thermometers still make me nervous (always get so anxious waiting for candies to reach the right temperature!!), but these looked too good to resist!! And after conquering the homemade caramel sauce for this amazing buttercream earlier this year, I figured I could wait just a little longer for them to reach the “firm ball” stage for this recipe. :-)

homemade cheez-it crackers | dish & tell

Step aside, Kellogg. Better crackers coming through. CHEEZ-ITS are wonderful–and we all know this because we’ve been eating them since we were ten (unless you’re 75). We can each vouch for the fact that they have overly addictive properties–so many, apparently, that we’ve been instructed to get our own box. But, with all due respect to Kellogg and Sunshine Biscuits, I have to say that these homemade crackers are something else–they exceed all cheesetastic levels, and I wouldn’t doubt if the discernible tastes of real cheddar and butter send you over the moon (I suggest buckling up).
