Spring Forward to Summer: Chocolate and Salted Caramel Pudding Pops. Spring has just begun and I’m already fast forwarding to summer with these pudding pops.

Spring Forward to Summer: Chocolate and Salted Caramel Pudding Pops

It’s hard to deny a chocolate and salted caramel pairing. Especially one on a stick that is begging you to have a seat and enjoy the slow pacing a popsicle has to offer — that is if you can keep yourself from biting into it. Incredibly easy to make and even easier to devour, you should have no problem whipping up a dozen or more of these in under 30 minutes. The hardest part will be waiting for them to freeze. Let me say that if you’ve never had a pudding pop, well it’s a lot like a Fudgiscle but better and richer. So relax, enjoy and yield to the slow pace of licking a popsicle.

Easy Parmesan Knots. Sprinkle Bakes. What Katie Ate. Dutch Oven Madness. Dutch Oven Cooking. So, you got talked into cooking with a dutch oven, eh?

Dutch Oven Cooking

Well, it's about time! Dutch oven cooking is one of the most splendid activities on a camping trip. Transforming raw materials into an aromatic, mouth-watering meal or dessert is as much art as science. Just the looks of anticipation on everyone's faces when you lift the lid on your cast-iron dutch oven and let some of the smells escape is worth the extra work of packing this heavy piece of gear.

On these pages, I've jotted down all the advice I can think of to help you choose a good dutch oven, get it ready, keep it in good shape, and use it to create magnificent meals. Most of the dutch oven cooking I do is on camping trips. If you are just starting with dutch ovens, you should read through this site like a book. The Kitchy Kitchen. Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets. Chunks of all white meat chicken breasts coated in breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese then baked until golden.

Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets

An easy chicken recipe your whole family will love. What can be more kid friendly than chicken nuggets, even the pickiest kids like them. Serve them with ketchup, bbq sauce or whatever you like to dip your nuggets into. Adults can serve them over your favorite salad for a satisfying lunch. Kids love finger foods or anything you can eat with toothpicks so when my daughter was young I would make her a dish of bite sized goodies she liked such as tomatoes, olives, pasta, etc. and served them with toothpicks and she always cleaned her plate! Once I'm in breading mode I usually make breaded zucchini sticks as well and bake them all at the same time along with some pasta and a salad for a complete meal. Double these for more or make half for less servings. Ingredients: Preheat oven to 425°. Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another. Millionaire's Shortbread. Since one half of the blue-eyed baking squad is currently blogging from waaaay across the pond in London, we figured we'd bake you lovely duckies a British treat.

Millionaire's Shortbread

Shortbread. Millionaire's shortbread (ooooh aaaah). Don't get too excited. There's no money in this crumbly deliciousness. But there is crumbly deliciousness which counts for something right? Right. So there's shortbread, which is rather tasty on its own, and v v British. Just go with it. And THEN to transform it into Millionaire's Shortbread (ooooh ahhhh), you slather the aforementioned crumbly deliciousness in caramel and chocolate. We know. It's ok, just go slow, eat some melted chocolate along the way to keep your strength up, and you'll do just fine. And then, you can have as many pieces of the crumbly deliciousness slathered in the caramel and the chocolate as you want. We totally hit the jackpot.
