Chocolate Crinkles Recipe from Betty Crocker. Smoked Sausage Macaroni and Cheese. The addition of smoked sausage to homemade "mac-n-cheese" is a welcome and delicious change from the traditional basic recipe. It's hearty enough to serve as a main dish ... with a salad or some roasted veggies maybe. And, as you'll see below in the recipe directions, my "placement" of the sausage yields crisp, browned edges to the sausage that adds another dimension of flavor to this dish.

And, nope, this definitely isn't "diet food," folks. This is a recipe that I make on occasion when my family is craving something comforting and cheesy. Homemade macaroni and cheese can't be beat and is truly a worth-while dish to make on a day that you just wanna indulge a little. Serves 6 - 8. Ingredients: Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In large pot, boil the pasta in heavily salted water until just shy of al dente. While the noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a large sauté pan set to medium heat.

Sprinkle in flour. Next, whisk in the milk. Turn off heat. Parmesan Crusted Filet Mignon. Welcome to the fourth installment of “Valentine’s Day Dinner Ideas.” We have a real winner for you today. There is a steakhouse in Chicago called Wildfire. They have pretty good steaks but it’s the parmesan crust that I love. I’ve always wanted to know how to make the crust but I could never figure it out. A few years ago the Chicago Cubs put out a cookbook. I, of course, bought it. Many of the players contributed recipes from their own collection and some of them contributed recipes from local restaurants. My favorite place to buy filet mignon is Costco. Here is what you’ll need Combine all crust ingredients and mash together into a dough Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate Sprinkle the filet with salt and pepper Sear 2 minutes on each side Once they are seared, place in the oven for another 6 minutes Lastly, top with the crust and broil for about 2 minutes or until golden brown Even better than at the restaurant!

Parmesan Crusted Filet Mignon Serves 4 Ingredients 4 filet mignons salt pepper. Daddy O's Donuts - Richton Park, IL. 5 check-ins here ROTD 2/18/2013 (Man, I really hate that expression. But I digress...) (Okay, that's a *little* better, I guess. :) However you'd like to slice it, if you can get down with the donuts (doughnuts?)

Admittedly, I'm not nuts about donuts (see what I did there?). Apparently, the time to enjoy said 'nut was, well, yesterday. We promised the kids donuts on Friday morning. Oh, yes...you did, in fact, read that correctly: red + velvet + donut. We went in and our hopes were semi-dashed....no red velvets to be found. Later in the day, we returned to Daddy O's again and left with four red velvets to add to our six chocolates. Five stars all the way, but if I could add a sixth out of principle for the red velvet donuts, I most certainly would.
