Mother-In-Law Fruit Dip -                     Green Teeth and Sweet Thumbs

http://www.thetastynest.com/6/post/2011/06/mother-in-law-fruit-dip.html This creamy fruit dip recipe was a big hit at a summer party my Mother-in-Law threw for my bridal shower and I got the recipe from her so I could share it. A few weeks later I was having some girls over for a small pot luck to ease my premarital jitters and I made her recipe. Needless to say it was a big hit with several of the women asking me for the recipe in emails over the course of that month!
It’s time for a little confession. I realize this may get me shunned (especially in my hometown of Pittsburgh!), but….I don’t like football. I don’t like to watch it, I never liked playing football with my friends, I don’t even like playing catch with a football. If there was one thing Mike could change about me, I’m pretty sure this would be it. That being said, I will watch the Superbowl.

Cinnamon Bun Pie Pockets Recipe | gimme some oven

Move over cinnamon rolls! There’s a fabulous, new breakfast treat in my kitchen!!! Meet…….these adorable cinnamon bun pie pockets. :) The name pretty much describes them. http://gimmesomeoven.com/cinnamon-bun-pie-pockets/
I think these would make an absolutely smashing dessert for your Fourth of July celebration. They look like you slaved away in the kitchen for hours but in all actuality they take about 2o minutes to pull together {you could even make your own whipped cream from scratch in the time that it takes for the puff pastry to cook} Of course if you’d like to use ready made whipped cream we won’t tell. Regarding the quantity, one package of Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry will make 6 napoleons so plan according to how many you’d like to make. 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. http://blogs.babble.com/family-kitchen/2011/06/16/red-white-blue-nutella-napoleons/

The Infamous Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies

Now, I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I swear by. I love it, I think it is incredible, and I haven’t changed my mind about that. However, as much as it pains me to say it, these chocolate chip cookies by Jacques Torres are absolutely, without a doubt, the best chocolate chip cookies that I have ever made or tasted in my entire life.
Here is an important step... IMMEDIATELY out of the oven, like say within five minutes at most, I removed the cakes from their pans and cut of the top crusty layer of cake of both 8in cakes. I then placed the cut parts together. (It should look like a two layer cake here, except without frosting) Then put it in the freezer for no less then five hours. I simply used a cardboard cake round as my guide. I traced out three evenly (ha!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: sometimes the best creations are the ones you don’t set out to create! This might be my new favorite thing. It’s the perfect easy, throw-together, family style dessert for summer. I did a local tv segment this week and made my Baked Cinnamon Chips and Fruit Salsa.

http://www.marthastewart.com/340206/banana-split-bombe Who knew everyone's favorite split would grow up to be such a looker? Beneath a drizzle of chocolate lie stripes of vanilla, chocolate, and pistachio ice cream, all atop a surprise core of banana cake. Just try telling your inner child to wait for dessert. Make the bombe: Spread vanilla ice cream in an even layer on bottom and up sides of a 5-quart heatproof bowl with a 9 1/2-inch-diameter rim. Ice cream should form a concave layer that comes up to the rim of the bowl.

I entered Hallmark with the intention of finding a card for a friend, and discovered a happy thing. The perfect cookie platter. There it was, in all it’s red and pink glor… Read more Happy St. Patrick’s Day! (Well, soon).

Butter the sides and bottom of a glass or light-colored metal 9-by-13-inch pan. Line the bottom with a sheet of parchment paper, and butter the parchment. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, the salt, and cocoa powder. Configure a large size double boiler. Place the chocolate and the butter in the bowl of the double boiler and stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and combined. Turn off the heat, but keep the bowl over the water of the double boiler and add both sugars.

I had to come up with a shorter name for these cupcakes because "Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Dark Chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Center and Peanut Butter Frosting Dipped in Homemade Magic Shell" is technically correct but WAAAAY too long, don't you think? Besides, Dangerously Decadent Cupcakes is also accurate given the various individual and combined components. I'm pretty sure these should come with a warning.

Just try to be in a bad mood around one of these. Impossible! I was naturally drawn to these because of the bright, eye-catching swirl, not to mention the jumbo sprinkles-encrusted edges! If anything, these should be the SB mascot, because they are everything I love. Bright, happy, buttery and delicious.
