Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes A couple weeks ago Giz over at Equal Opportunity Kitchen posted a recipe for Cauliflower Pancakes. They sounded & looked wonderful to me so the head of yellow cauliflower in our fridge was quickly marked for pancakes. When I mentioned them in my weekly menu Dawn at Vanilla Sugar said she hoped there would be cheese in them. Well that was like a light bulb going on over my head. Of course there would be cheese in them! These were such a simple side dish & a great use for cauliflower (it seems we always end up roasting it). I liked them with a little sour cream to dip them in while Matt preferred them with a little more cheese grated over the top.

Funfetti Whoopie Pies I'm the kind of person who hates making decisions. I know, you're really super surprised cause I'm such a control-freak. You would think it would be hard to be controlling if you don't even know what the heck you want. See, the secret is, bossy people just want you to think they have it all figured out, but in reality, you are just one of their decision making pawns. Another example of my aversion to decision making is manifested in the making these cookies. It all starts with some of the tastiest sugar cookie dough you will ever eat, flecked with some purty, little sprinkles. While they're baking, you can make some creamy, smooth, not-too-sweet, perfectly buttery frosting if you feel like it. Um, in what mood would you not feel like it? But here's where the trouble begins. Or is a gob of frosting more your style? Big sprinkles? Or little sprinkles? Baby bite size? Or Yammie-bite size? See, this is where you come into play. 1. 2. Good luck.
Chocolate Valentino (Cake) There is nothing like a flourless chocolate cake. Â They are, quite literally, the easiest dessert to make in the wold. Â This recipe has three ingredients (ok, I snuck in about a half cup of extra sugar, so four ingredients) and comes together in about 10 minutes. Â It looks mouth-watering, tasted incredibly indulgent, and would make a great Valentine’s Day dessert, a little late. Â But if any of you have an anniversary or birthday coming up, this is the cake for you. Like my last flourless chocolate cake, it was mushy and delicious straight out of the oven, but needed to cool for a bit before it set. But, um, who on earth is going to complain about that? I’m sad to say that we devoured this cake before I got around to making ice cream, so I don’t have a picture of both together.

Lasagna Roll Ups Recipe Unfortunately, I have yet to post a lasagna recipe but I have something just as good- Lasagna roll ups. Lasagna roll ups are cooked lasagna noodles rolled up with a cheese mixture and baked in a sauce. If you are not a fan of cottage cheese it could be replaced with ricotta. This dish uses three different types of cheeses- cottage, parmesan and mozzarella. Don’t worry if you want meat in your meals, the sauce is a meat sauce. The meat sauce is very delicious and slightly spicy. Ingredients:Sauce- ¼ lb ground beef 2 tablespoons onion (chopped) 2 garlic cloves (minced) 1 (16 oz) can crushed tomatoes ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon dried oregano 1 dash cayenne pepper (or more to your taste)Filling- 1 ¼ cups small curd cottage cheese ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese 1 egg (lightly beaten) 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (minced) ¼ teaspoon onion powder 6 lasagna noodles (cooked) ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese Cooking Instructions: Step 3: Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Nutella lava cookies | Kirbie's Cravings | A San Diego food blog sharing restaurant reviews and recipes Wednesday, June 1, 2011 I love lava cakes. For a while now I’ve had this idea playing in my mind to create lava cookies. I tried making nutella lava cookies before, but they didn’t come out exactly as I’d hoped, so I wanted to attempt it again. I took a chocolate cookie recipe that I love, which is thick and sturdy and put some nutella in the middle of the cookie dough. These came out great. The fiancee really loved these cookies and couldn’t stop eating them. Recipe for cookie base is slightly adapted from the one found on Annie’s Eats.
