Baked Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes & The Craving Chronicles. I might be harboring a slight pumpkin obsession right now. I just… I saw the canned pumpkin at the grocery store, bought a few cans, and now I can’t stop. I want to put pumpkin in everything. I’ve seen this one particular recipe popping up here and there for muffins that are supposed to taste like donuts.
Now, I love donuts. Right about now I can hear you thinking, “Yeah, that’s great, but do they really taste like donuts if they’re not fried?” Printable RecipeAdapted from Tasty Kitchen Makes 20-24 mini muffins Don’t worry – you don’t actually use the whole stick of butter for the coating, it just makes it easier to dip the muffins.

In college i was a waitress and bartender at The Loring Bar & Cafe in Minneapolis. it is where i met alex, so it will always hold a very special place in my heart. it was a really great place to work - cool co-workers, great customers and excellent food. the one thing that we were known for was artichoke dip. i can't tell you how many times i ate that for dinner. it was incredible but since The Loring closed no other artichoke dip has even came close to replacing it. i have tried several recipes for artichoke dip that really sucked. too dry - to heavy - not enough flavor - i have covered them all. but this recipe is the last artichoke dip recipe i will ever need. it is similar to the Loring recipe - dare i say - it might be even better. let me put it this way - this is THE BEST artichoke dip!
I apologize for the weird measurements - i doubled the original recipe because it just didn't make enough! Alex did a beautiful job of modeling the dip :) Yield: Makes about 2 2/3 cups Preheat broiler. Homemade Pizza Rolls. I’ve never tried to hide the fact that I am a junk food junkie. I just might eat Ruffles and Rolos for dinner every night if it were PC…and if I wouldn’t gain 1,000 pounds. This trait runs in the family. While my little brother and Mom forget to eat at times (to which I always reply, really?) My Dad and I are always on the hunt for a sweet treat or crunchy snack. My older brother? Well, he hides bags of Skittles around his house. As much as I love me some Doritos and Thin Mints though, I never EVER keep junk food in the house.
Gretchen from the Real Housewives of the OC said it best, when asked if she’d have kids with her boyfriend who can’t even afford child support for his existing son, “I’m madly in love. Well said, Gretch. Because yes, while I’m madly in love with BBQ potato chips, Sour Patch Kids and Oreos, I’m not stupid. Not to mention, I feel like hell when I eat it. So, I try and do the right things. All of that to say… Yeah, me and Totino’s Pizza Rolls go way back.

Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Friday, 5th August 2011 Bomboloni, fluffy pillows of rich and tender fried pastry dough rolled in sugar and filled with velvety Crema Pasticcera {Italian Pastry Cream}, fresh and warm out of the oven. Have I enticed you to indulge? One thing’s for certain – one Bombolone is never enough. How did I achieve a puffy bombolone? I was on a mission to get an answer to that very question, “Which preparation produces a puffier, lighter and tastier bombolone?
It really comes as no surprise, I’m sure Italian Mamas and Nonnas from the old country (mine included) never used a stand mixer to prepare their dough. The bomboloni dough is very sticky and I found when preparing the dough using a stand mixer I needed to add flour more than once to get the dough to come together into a ball so the mixer could properly knead the dough. Bomboloni have a distinct look, golden on both sides with a band lighter in colour in between. Crema Pasticcera {Italian Pastry Cream}
Cultural food. Scrumptious Baked Cinnamon Breakfast Bites. I love a good donut, especially a homemade one. What I don’t love is the pain associated with deep frying them. It is messy, time consuming and certainly more fattening. These baked Cinnamon Breakfast Bites mimic what I love about donut holes but without all the added stress and calories. They are super scrumptious and I encourage you to try them out yourself and see how long they last in your house!

Big Red Kitchen: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. The original and unique Cinnamon Roll Pancake recipe created by Robin Sue!

Late last night my friend had spotted this Cinnamon Bun Pancake Recipe from the blogisphere and posted it on her Facebook status suggesting for her daughter to make them.
Wow, Cinnamon Bun Pancakes, that would be a winner in my house too. So I went to bed with pancakes dancing in my head. I created a typical cinnamon roll filling and placed it in a pastry bag to be swirled over the pancakes as they cooked. After pouring 1/4 cup pancake batter in a hot skillet, I swirled the cinnamon filling mixture over top.

Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli With Brown Butter Sauce Sage And Hazelnuts Recipe -... Red Velvet Crêpes.
I rolled my eyes at the red velvet cake trend, but now I can’t get enough. I’ll make any excuse to have ‘cake’ for breakfast– here’s my take on a classic. Red Velvet Crepes (Makes about 24, 8″ crepes) Ingredients: – 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 3 tablespoons sugar - 2 cups butter milk - 1 1/4 cup whole or lowfat milk - 1 large egg - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted - 1 tablespoon red food color gel - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted + 2 tablespoons cooking oil (for pan) *Update: Because the buttermilk lends to the acidity of this batter, do not substitute the baking soda for extra baking powder. If you add more baking powder, and omit the baking soda, you’ll end up with a heavy and dense crepe.
In order to activate the baking soda, it requires an acidic substance, which the buttermilk provides. Directions: For the Mascarpone Filling:1. For Chocolate Ganche Sauce1. 2. 3. 4.
Coca-Cola Cupcakes. I don’t drink coca-cola. But I do eat it. Weird. Yeah, I dunno. It’s way better eaten. Let’s take a look, shall we? There’s some dark and white sugar cooked with dark dutch processed cocoa powder…and a can of coke! There’s some the ol’ that pouring into this and this pouring into that. There’s some mixing.

Homemade Mocha Coconut Iced Coffees. Let me tell you something. When I was a freshman in college, I once ventured to Starbucks. This wasn’t a frequent happening because 1. I didn’t like coffee whatsoever except when loaded with tons of crap and heavy cream… sort of like now, and 2. there wasn’t a Starbucks on campus. Clearly I went to college in the stone age. One night my friends and I somehow hitched a ride (not literally, but you know) to Starbucks and that’s when I saw it on the menu: mocha coconut frappuccino. I.almost.died. Two of my FAVORITE ingredients combined?!
I ordered one. I sipped. I almost fainted. I slurped it to the bottom. I almost wet myself from excitement. I literally almost wet myself from drinking 48 ounces of diuretics and sugar. I became poor. [I should also mention that this was the same year I bought a $98 sparkly black belt with my dad's credit card. Starbucks became my new favorite place. Until one day I walked in and… it was off the menu. What the what?! Or… just make my own. makes 1 serving Please try. Nutella Doughnuts.
Lemon Yogurt Cake. Lemon Yogurt Cake This morning I woke up and for some reason I could just smell and taste pound cake. But not any ordinary pound cake, one infused with lemon. I thought about making my old tried and true Baptist pound cake recipe, but I didn’t really want to make such a heavy buttery rich cake today. So then I started browsing the Internet in search of something else that might strike my fancy, and found this amazing lemon yogurt cake from Ina Garten. I changed it just a little, but it’s essentially still the same recipe.
This is such a delicious recipe, and so versatile. Lemon Yogurt Cake Ingredients 1 1/2 cups AP flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 cup plain, unsweetened yogurt 1 1/3 cups sugar (I used stevia baking blend) 3 extra-large eggs the zest and juice from 2 large lemons, equaling 1/3 cup lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup olive oil Method 1. 2. Adapted from Ina Garten’s Lemon Yogurt Cake. VIETNAMESE-COFFEE CUPCAKES. Musical pairing – The Sound Of Sunshine by Michael Franti & Spearhead I made these Vietnamese-Coffee Cupcakes about a year ago and I’ve had visions of them dancing in my head ever since . . . like crack-cocaine, these are completely addictive!! Needless-to-say, The Professor and I have no-problemo finishing a batch of these babies off by ourselves! Having had no experience with Vietnamese cooking, I wasn’t sure what made this particular recipe ‘Vietnamese’ . . . little cakes which are glazed and frosted with a mixture of cream, sweetened condensed milk and espresso.
A call out to Twitter and I had my answer: Kim tweeted back ‘the Viet people have a VERY strong French influence. The espresso/condensed milk is a true Viet concoction.’ The cake is a sponge-type of cake – made light and airy by whipping the egg whites before adding the yolks; the flour is sifted and gently folded into the batter before pouring into liners and baked.
