Bowl of Worms Anyone? Create tasty, edible worms. This recipe is simple and great for Halloween, April Fool's, or anytime you feel like snacking on wormy goodness! If you can make jello, then you can make these cool looking worms. Ingredients 2 packs (3 oz) Raspberry jello 1 pkg unflavored gelatin (for extra firmness) 3/4 cup whipping cream 3 cups boiling water 15 drops green food coloring 100 flexible straws (or enough to fill your container) Tall container (1 quart or 1 liter carton of milk) Directions 1) Combine gelatin in bowl and add boiling water. 2) Let it cool to lukewarm and then add the whipping cream and 15 drops green food coloring. 3) Gather your straws (don't forget to flex them out) and put them in the container. It's important that the straws have a tight fit so the jello stays in the straws. 4) Add the gelatin mixture to the straw-filled container and let it set until firm. 5) There are multiple ways you can remove the worms from the straws.
And voila! Creamy Blackberry Frozen Yogurt. Summer has been so good to us this year. I'm trying desperately to hold on to any remainders of this wonderful season. I've already frozen tons of slices of peaches for a cold winter afternoon when I need a juicy peach cobbler. I'm now making my way through all the blackberries we have close to our house. Jam will be made, don't you worry. For now, because we've been enduring the craziest heat wave, the blackberries are turned into smoothies and other cold treats. So far my favorite has been the frozen yogurt. Creamy Blackberry Frozen Yogurt(printable version) 3 cups fresh blackberries3 cups yogurt cheese (or Greek yogurt)1 can sweetened condensed milk ( 14 ounce can, it's fine if it's a bit more or a bit less)In a blender, puree the blackberries with the sweetened condensed milk.In a medium bowl mix the puree with the yogurt cheese.Pour the mixture in to your ice-cream maker and follow the manufacturer's directions.
For My Sweet Tooth / Three eggless cookie dough recipes... made specifically for eating raw :) Food Glorious Food / Oven Baked Parmesan Seasoned Fries. Yummy / pink chocolate chip cookies. Yummiest / Cucumber Cups Stuffed with Spicy Crab. Valentine’s Day Hack: Make heart-shaped cupcakes with a regular tin. You don’t have to have a heart-shaped muffin tin to make fun heart-shaped muffins or cupcakes for Valentine’s Day. Simply line a tin with paper liners, then drop a marble in between the tin and liner. (Balls of aluminum foil will also work.) Carefully fill the liners to a little over 1/2 full (overfilling will cover the heart shape effect). Bake, remove from pan, remove marbles, cool, and frost. Nom nom nom / Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes.
