A clear indication that my life has gotten really busy is the lack of blog updates. Life this week has been pretty crazy. I’ve been washing two weeks of vacation laundry, getting into fender benders, taking kids to the doctor for strep throat, baking a whole lot of goodies for a church function, and getting ready for our friends to come stay with us. But I haven’t forgotten this little blog of mine. In fact, I’ve been really reminiscent (thank you spell checker) lately and have been thinking about all the recipes that have been passed on to me from my family.
This saltine cracker toffee comes from my grandma. My grandma Peterson always had her house stocked with See’s chocolates and her fridge stocked with Dilly Bars from Dairy Queen. And if you’ve never made this saltine cracker toffee you are in for a treat. Enjoy! Ingredients Instructions Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with at least a 1/2 inch edge or jelly roll pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Notes. Samoas Cupcakes « Spice Is Nice. After 2 weeks of “summer vacation”, it’s back to the (harsh) reality of 3rd year – but don’t worry about me, because these cupcakes made life better. The last day of break happened to fall on our friends Kat’s and Griffin’s birthday, which obviously called for celebration.
I decided to make these cupcakes because both of them happen to love samoas. I’m a thin mint/tagalong girl myself, but I have the unique ability to see the good in just about any cookie :-). I thought these cupcakes turned out delicious, but I think if you are really trying to perfectly replicate a samoas you might want to add try making a filled cupcake with toasted coconut and caramel.
These cupcakes turned out to be much simpler to make than my endeavor of chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes, but I still found it helpful to make the cupcakes one day and then to ice them the next. For the Cupcakes 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. For the Salted Caramel Buttercream 1. 2. 3. For the Homemade Chocolate Syrup 1. 2. Like this: Chick-fil-A Bites with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce.
Let me start out by saying that I don’t eat fast food like, ever. Ok, there was that one incident involving McDonalds and a particularly happy happy hour a few weeks ago, but as a general rule of thumb no, never. Greasy burgers and deep fat fried onion rings and fries are totally unhealthy, and I end up feeling like crap for about 2 days afterward indulging.
It’s just not even close to worth it. However. There are exceptions, naturally. ;) Three of them, in fact – In-N-Out Burger (monkey style, please,) Five Guys (gimme them Cajun fries,) and Chick-fil-A. Among the three, Chick-fil-A stands out for specializing in succulent, crispy breaded chicken that is always tender, all-white meat, and so dang juicy – plus the seasonings they use are just right. Imagine how tickled I was after coming across a copycat recipe I could make at home and customize to use a fraction of the oil the real restaurant uses, but still have it taste exactly like the real thing?! These babies are insane! Serves 2 Dunked… Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting « Just Baked. As usual, I got a little overzealous buying bananas. I mean, the baby likes bananas and all, but come on. I don’t think I really needed twenty.
Although, this time it isn’t entirely my fault. My parents gave me some when they visited last week. Alex ate a bunch, but I still had 8 brown bananas to contend with now. In the past, I made some super delicious banana cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. But, they start with a box mix. The cake batter was easy to put together and it baked up perfectly. Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting Yield: 13 x 9 pan of bars, about 16 pieces For the bars: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 1/2 cups white sugar 2 large eggs 1 cup sour cream 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp banana extract 1 cup mashed ripe bananas Totally smooth or a little chunky..your preference To make the bars: Preheat the oven to 350F.
Christmas in a Bowl: Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Goat Cheese and Herb Marbles | Apron Strings. Digg Christmas in a Bowl:Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Goat Cheese and Herb Marbles Nothing adds festive-ness to a holiday table like red and green food. Red soup + green and white marbles = Christmas in a Bowl. There is something about roasting that makes red bell peppers swoon-worthy.
Sweet. Soft. I saw Giada make goat cheese “marbles” and add them to a cream soup and so I thought they might add a nice tart tang to this sweet creamy Roasted Red Pepper soup. For the “marbles,” I used equal parts cream cheese and goat cheese – and lots of minced parsley. I love soups that you can throw in a blender or take a stick blender to.
Please pardon the irresistible pun on my part: Have a Souper Christmas, Everyone! Serves 6 as a first course or 4 as an entree 3 red peppers, halved and seeds and pulp removed 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 large shallot, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth 1 small can of tomato paste 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated Salt and pepper to taste. White chocolate covered pretzel cookies. Salty pretzels covered in white chocolate & sprinkles make these soft cookies like no other! Welcome to my baking chocolate + pretzel addiction. I have a huge soft-spot for the duo and no holiday would be complete without a tray of my favorite sprinkle-laden chocolate covered pretzels. I’ve combined chocolate and pretzels with cheesecake, brownies, and heck… I’ve even put chocolate covered pretzels into cookies before!
But today? You’re getting a white chocolate version, a sprinkle overloaded version, and an out-of-this-world soft-baked version. Wow. One of the very first recipes on Sally’s Baking Addiction is chocolate covered pretzels. How can one resist a chocolate covered pretzel? One of my favorite basic cookie doughs and the salty sweet pretzels are combining forces today. The cookie dough I’m using is incredibly special and goes above and beyond what a regular cookie dough can do.
You may recall my affinity for adding cornstarch to cookies from my three favorite cookie recipes. Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes. A little while back I made some Boston Cream Pie cupcakes. They were all we know and love about Boston Cream Pie, only in single serving cupcake form, and oh did those cupcakes get some love…both in my kitchen and on this blog.
So I figured, what’s good for Boston Cream has got to be good for Banana Cream, right? Oh yes. Very right. Very very right. Please meet Banana Cream Pie cupcakes. Once again, I turned to my friendly boxes of cake mix and pudding. Anyway, you start by baking up those cupcakes, and when they are cool, use a paring knife to cut a deep cone shape in the center of each one. What you do with those cones is up to you. On to the banana part of these cupcakes. Last but not least…the cream! These babies are best enjoyed the same day you make them. Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes Ingredients I box yellow cake mix plus ingredients to make the cake batter 2 boxes instant banana pudding plus ingredients to make the pudding 2-3 bananas 2 cups heavy cream ½ cup confectioner’s sugar Directions.
Spicy Vegan Potato Curry Recipe. Strawberry 2 Ingredient Fudge. This 2 Ingredient Strawberry Fudge has consistently been one of the most popular recipes on my site! It’s sweet and creamy and SUPER simple to make! So Valentines Day is coming up. We aren’t big Valentines people in our house. Not that I don’t WANT Valentines stuff. I mean, if my husband came home with flowers and chocolates and jewelry I certainly wouldn’t turn him away. But the thing is, one of our kids has a birthday on Valentines, so I lose. Valentines is now, “all about the children”…much like EVERY OTHER DAY OF MY LIFE! So instead of romance, I get Star Wars Lego assembly and video games and instead of a candlelit dinner, I get kid’s choice, which many years has meant McDonalds.
I mean, can you imagine that they can choose any place to eat dinner and they choose McDonalds? So, yeah, kids ruin everything. Moving forward, remember a few months ago when I was all angry at the universe for keeping fudge secrets from me? Well, the universe and I are officially BFFs again. We made up. Or hearts. Turtle Brownies. Warning: This is a semi-sentimental post. I’m sitting among half-packed boxes as I write this post. My almost-4-year-old nephew has sweetly helped me by writing (as best as he can) “cookbooks” on a few boxes, and then he lovingly adds pictures of stick figures of his family on the box to remind me of who my family is, too.
In short, while I know this makes me smile now, I am pretty sure that in 8 days when I live 1000 miles away, it might make me cry a little. The past couple of years have been a lot about goodbyes for me. Goodbyes to an old and very naive me, goodbyes to former friends as we mature and realize life is carrying us in very different directions, and goodbyes to assuming the same patterns in life which appear to always land us in the same places. I’m now attending graduation banquets, going away parties (I seriously have some of the best friends in the entire world), and I am planning out new adventures and opportunities for my next chapter in life. Sentimentality over. 1. Hasselback Garlic Cheesy Bread. Hasselback Garlic Cheesy Bread First thing: this Calphalon Giveaway ends on Friday! Enter enter enter! Second thing: this bread is the bomb. Last week, I got some evil Kerrygold Samples in the mail.
Aw, shucks. What is a girl to do? To prevent myself from inhaling it all in a 24 hour period, I put some in the freezer, but then immediately thought of this bread I’ve been wanting to make. They hang out in my booty. {TMI? This bread is the very reason why I run. And believe it or not, this is super simple to make! So, that’s all the info you need to know, m’kay? First thing you’re going to want to do is grab all your ingredients. Into a mixer bowl, add in your water, yeast and honey. Once your yeast has gotten foamy, stir in the salt and the flour in 1/4 cup increments. Once the dough starts pulling away from the sides and the bowl is looking pretty clean, then it’s time to set the timer and walk away. 5 minutes later your dough should be tacky and smooth.
And melt it down. Hello, lover. See? Banana Bread Pancake Recipe. Here’s what I know about pancakes. They taste good with cherries. Apples and bacon too. They make slept-in mornings with toothpaste stains eight thousand times better. They are what my dad stuffs with blueberries. They probably wouldn’t be good with things like broccoli or beans… because that’s just weird. Oh! They taste extra excellent with ice cream on top. Even better steaming hot with oozing butter… then ice cream on top. They save marriages. They aren’t the best choice for breakfast when you want to wear a string bikini. They often slip you into a welcoming food coma that causes you to desk nap.
They are darn good. They are cake. Seriously. Now hold your horses. I feel bad declining him day after day. But it’s the combination… the bananas, the brown sugar, the maple vanilla glaze… that has etched this breakfast into the rotation at our house. There is a reason this is huge. So now people can eat banana bread without stuffing an entire loaf down their face. Makes 12 pancakes 1/4 teaspoon salt. Red Curry Peanut Noodles. Design Crush & Popsicles!
