Cinnamon Roll Waffles. Cinnamon Roll Waffles I’ve had a tough time forgetting about those Cinnamon Roll Pancakes that I posted a few weeks ago.

Cinnamon Roll Waffles

So much so that I started wondering what else I could do to replicate the Cinnamon Roll. “Why not waffles, too?” I thought. I experimented… but it was a flop. I went with a buttermilk waffle… plain, with no cinnamon filling added. I drizzled the cinnamon-sugar filling on top. I figured… why not? My ideal cinnamon roll always has cream cheese icing, so a cream cheese icing drizzle was in order too. Lots of cream cheese icing, please. I could hardly wait to take a bite… to see if this whole Cinnamon Roll Waffle thing worked out. That’s about all I could eat.

Espresso Chocolate Mousse. Last night, it rained.

Espresso Chocolate Mousse

It sounded like magic and love and dreaming and soup and kittens. I put on my fluffiest sweatshirt and cuddled up in bed and watched super classy shows like Jersey Shore and Teen Mom 2. Keepin’ things elegant, you know. I was joyous; absolutely blissful. Until, without any warning, some scary evil malicious malevolent forceful force came over me and I was craving chocolate frosting something fierce. No amount of Gossip Girl was going to help me and I knew it, so I gave in. It’s like eating chocolate clouds off a spoon. Espresso Chocolate Mousse 4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, cut into pieces 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder 2 large eggs, seperated 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar 3 tablespoons superfine sugar, divided 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream Set a medium sized bowl in the freezer- you will use this later to whip the cream.

There’s a little something for everyone: the foodies, the purists, the ones who prefer frozen yogurt, the ones who prefer a little alcohol, everyone. Tweny-five options to be exact. The post I did last summer on the cold guys was one of DC’s most viewed ever, so I thought you’d all be up for another round – was I right? Click on the photo to be taken to the recipe.

Crab and Corn Cakes. Sheri Giblin total prep I absolutely love crab cakes, but I don’t make them often because lump crab is not cheap. Adding corn helps stretch the crab and makes the cost a little more reasonable. This makes eight good-sized crab cakes, which is plenty for a meal for four or an appetizer for eight. Or you can really impress your friends and make about thirty small crab cakes to serve at a party. Recipe from The First Real Kitchen Cookbook by Megan & Jill Carle/Chronicle Books, 2011. 2 red bell peppers 2 large eggs 1 jalapeño pepper 3 green onions 8 oz fresh lump crab meat 1 cup corn kernels 1 cup dry bread crumbs 2 tbsp fresh lime juice Salt and pepper 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 2 tbsp canola oil Place the red bell peppers/capsicums directly on the burner of a gas stove or under the broiler of an electric stove.

What I really liked about them is that they have all the breakfast items in one neat package. I started thinking about how it could be better, and I realized what would be a more perfect breakfast for me is to have pancakes, bacon and eggs. So I set out to try making a bacon egg pancake cup.
