Cinnamon-Sugar Cream Cheese Roll-Ups | Nummy Num Num. As I spent my Easter Sunday watching 12 hours of deliciously ridiculous docudrama programming about William & Kate (thanks Lifetime!) , I started thinking that we needed a recipe for some dainty finger food for those of you who are planning Royal Wedding Watch Parties. So I started discussing options with Carol, the resident guru of all things Will-and-Kate, and guess what? I hate English food. Or what I think is English food.
Cucumber sandwiches, scones, crumpets, that nasty banana flan People magazine is pushing as Wills’ favorite dessert. All of it sounds like a big gray pile of Yick to me.

Okay, so ever since I made those French Toast Muffins a little ways back, I’ve been strangely obsessed with things I can make in my muffin pan. I don’t know if it is the whole portability thing, or just the fact that anything with the word “cupcake” or “muffin” in the title automatically makes my stomach growl.

Macaroni and Cheese Cupcakes Ingredients 2 eggs 1 cup milk. Donut Chips. Here’s how it all happened. We were driving by the local Dunkin Donuts, and the car somehow turned into the parking lot, and I somehow got out and somehow bought a 25 pack of glazed Dunkin Donuts munchkins. You know…the soft, squishy kind with the shiny sugar coating on the outside. The next thing I knew, I was in my kitchen cutting them in half and sprinkling the cut side with a healthy dose of cinnamon sugar. Then before I knew it, I was heating my panini press up to 375 degrees (about medium on the heat setting) and very carefully placing the donut halves cut side up on the press. Then I put the lid down and toasted them for exactly 40 seconds. When I opened the lid, they had transformed into flat, chip-sized versions of their former selves.
The sugar had caramelized on both sides. And then suddenly, they were gone! The end. Ingredients 25 soft glazed donut holes (I used Dunkin Donuts Munchkins) 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar Directions 1. 2. 3. 4. Naan Bread Pizza. Tailgate Heros: Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots - StumbleUpon.

Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks Recipe.
Fried Dough Mozzarella Bites - The Food in my Beard - StumbleUpon. These weren't as crazy amazing(cramazing?) As they look and sound, but they were still very good. They definitely need a few tweaks though to become a perfect recipe. The main issue which I knew might be a problem from the start is that the cheese explodes out of the dough well before the dough is finished cooking. Not really a huge issue because the burnt cheese tastes great, but I have a few different ideas to make these a bit more awesome next time I make them. Until then though, these guys weren't too shabby at all. Little Cubes of mozzarella. I just used store bought pizza dough to wrap the cheese in. Right away I dunked them into a bowl of flour so they wouldn't be sticky. You can already see the cheese explosions.
Still, really fun and really tasty. I'm gonna revisit this idea, it might not be for awhile, but it's gonna happen. Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Bundles with Sage Infused Sour Cream | The... See, I do eat vegetables. (Granted, they’re almost always wrapped in some kind of pork product, but still.) Asparagus, even! Some folks would say it’s not possible. When I was a kid, I hated asparagus so much that I used to hide it behind the couch. True story. Oh, how times have changed. So, this is a fancy and fun way to serve asparagus, the springtime queen of green veggies. This appetizer recipe is my contribution to the Kraft Breakstone’s Holiday Celebration Program.

Baking bread, whether as an occupation or as a hobby, is extremely satisfying. Bakers have almost complete control over their bread, requiring little more than some very simple ingredients, time and the willingness to get his or her hands a little messy. Pretzel bread is not quite a simple as flat bread or dinner rolls, but the loaves come out of the oven with a deep, brown pretzel crust and a slightly sweet, tender center. This particular recipe should be treated as a base to which other ingredients may be added.
Cinnamon and extra brown sugar can create a sweet pretzel, or garlic and other spices can create a more savory pretzel. The loaves can be baked into mini-loaves, sandwich loaves or just cut into chunks and served as a snack. If you come up with something good, leave it in the comments. But now for the bread.
