Monterey Jack Cheese Soup Recipe. Chewy Coconut Bars Recipe. Citrus Butter Cookies. I made some simple butter cookies yesterday and decided to add some lemon. Then I decided to add some lime because I thought it would be prettier. Then I heard my oranges crying from their lonely produce drawer in the fridge because their citrus compadres were having all the fun. So I decided to throw in oranges, too. I am a uniter of fruit. I knew I wanted to do a egg white-based icing drizzle, so in order to use the whole egg, I went ahead and added the yolks to the cookie dough. And then? No, really. I ate one. Three. Does this mean I have to start all over? Please don’t say I have to start all over. To make the cookies, separate the eggs. Usually I crack eggs and let the yolk rest on the underside of my fingers while the pleasantly viscous white slithers between them… But this time I didn’t. I’m a woman of many surprises, I tell you.

Add the butter to the mixer. Then add the sugar… And whip it together to combine. Beat in the egg yolks… Yes, I still have chocolate on my mixer. And zest… Them… How to Make American Cheese. As our regular readers know, I’ll go to my grave defending processed, pasteurized American cheese. I understand your objections to this position. I’ve heard all of the arguments. It’s bland. It’s lowbrow. Heck, it’s not even technically cheese, but more of a sciency slurry of milk, whey, milkfat, artificial flavorings and oil, dyed orange and laid flat in individually-wrapped squares of cellophane.

Why? To celebrate National Grilled Cheese Day today, we wanted to pay special tribute to processed cheese, the childhood classic that for many of us, formed the basis of our relationship to the grilled cheese sandwich. Ingredients 1 tablespoon water 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin 12 ounces Colby Jack cheese, finely shredded 1 tablespoon nonfat milk powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk Method Line a small 4×5 loaf pan (disposable pans work fine) with plastic wrap, letting the excess hang over the sides.

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Oatmeal Banana Bread | Backstage at The Manor. We sprung into Yelton Manor Bed and Breakfast “Test Kitchen Mode” this morning after we found this amazing treat on Pinterest from a blog called “Ambitious Kitchen, The Perfect Slice of Life”. Just the NAME of this was enough to send us into spasms of food lust!!!! I dashed out to the Farmer’s Market for the raspberries while Cindi pulsed the oats in the food processor to make the perfect (and gluten free!) Flour. We are always freezing bananas at their perfect, spotted ripeness moment, the freezer is chock full of them for smoothies and banana bread. And the dark chocolate is always on hand for our signature brownies, the vanilla and oatmeal for our homemade granola, all the other ingredients for our muffins and cakes, so…..this was a natural act!!!

In the original recipe the banana bread is made in a loaf pan, but we love these individual small loaves. So, into the baking pans with it!!!! Dark Chocolate Raspberry Oatmeal Banana Bread About 3 cups oatmeal Other ingredients: 1/4 teaspoon salt. Caribbean Rum Punch Recipe. Firecracker Saltines Recipe from Shanley Pickens. 18 Microwave Snacks You Can Cook In A Mug. The body of a mother: ..Beef Jerky.. Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Clausen) (Easy - no canning!) My daughters LOVE dill pickles and I LOVE to grow cucumbers! But, sometimes homemade dill pickles turn out kind of soggy and my girls want them to taste just like they get in the store. My computer helped me find a recipe that was supposed to taste JUST LIKE Clausen (refrigerator) pickles! Those are the best anyway, right? My older daughter (the skeptic, who doesn't "do" all my Susie Homemaker stuff) (wrong!)

Wanted to try this recipe so I bought some fresh dill, fresh garlic cloves, and we picked the cucumbers from my garden.You don't "can" this recipe. Do they taste like Clausen? These are SO EASY! We made spears but I just bought one of those little cutters that makes waffle fries so we can make fancy thick slices. Best Dill Pickles EVER (Just like Clausen) (Easy - No Canning!) Some commenters thought these were too salty. Please do not try to use the regular grocery store cucumbers, they have wax on them and they will not turn out. This recipe has been shared at:
