Mom's Homemade Chocolate Fudge Recipe (So Easy!) My mom’s homemade easy fudge recipe is basically the best fudge I’ve ever sunk my teeth into. Easy Fudge Recipe My mom makes this homemade fudge every single Christmas—and only at Christmas—and while every year she makes it to give as neighbor gifts, she always keeps a stash for herself, usually eating it for breakfast with her coffee. Yes, it’s THAT good and yes, she is THAT smart to eat chocolate for breakfast. This fudge recipe is a family legend, and it originally comes from my grandma. I first shared this recipe way back in 2011, the first year I started blogging. Let’s make chocolate fudge! Chocolate Fudge Ingredients My mom has some definite rules when it comes to the ingredients that make the best homemade fudge, and they are: Marshmallows: Make sure your marshmallows are fresh when making this fudge recipe. Mom’s Rules: How to Make Fudge Prep your fudge dish. Cook the sugar and evaporated milk. Stir until the butter melts. Use your muscles for a glossy finish. Fridge it, baby. Notes

4 New Instant Pot Recipes From Mark Bittman | Epicurious It's weird to live in a world where a kitchen appliance has gone viral, especially one that's a combination of the humble slow cooker and the electric pressure cooker, tools that have been used in home kitchens for decades without any particular pomp or circumstance. But even Mark Bittman, author of about 2 gajillion cookbooks, is a fan of the Instant Pot. (Or, as he correctly refers to it, since Instant Pot is a brand name, "the multi-cooker.") "Like the slow cooker, the multi-cooker allows you to cook ahead, only it does it faster," Bittman says. "Also, unlike some slow cookers, you can brown right in the pot, which is crucial for flavor and texture. Bittman is so psyched about the multi-cooker, that he has started developing original recipes for it. Instant Pot Caldo Verde Caldo verde, a rustic potato and kale soup from Northern Portugal, is the perfect thing for holing up in the winter. In addition to speed and convenience, the multi-cooker lends extra flavor to soups.

Black Bean & Corn Salad with Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette 5 stars based on 180 votes Share on TwitterShare on FacebookShare on Pinterest Whenever I ask readers which Once Upon a Chef recipe is their favorite, the answer is almost always this Black Bean, Corn & Avocado Salad with Lime Vinaigrette. It’s just one of those crowd-pleasing, make-ahead recipes that everyone loves. This recipe is similar, only instead of a lime vinaigrette, I’ve tossed the salad with a smoky and sweet Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette (similar to the salad dressing served at Chipotle). To make the dressing, you’ll need canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce — these are small peppers (usually red jalapeños) that have been dried and smoked that come in a spicy, smoky tomato sauce. Begin by cooking the corn. Rinse and drain the black beans. Then make the dressing. Combine all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl and pour the dressing over top. Toss and refrigerate for at least one hour or, preferably, overnight. Right before serving, add the avocado and gently toss. Ingredients

Dulce and banana traybake recipe - BBC Food Grease and line a 20cm/8in square tin with baking parchment and grease again. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. First make the sticky topping. American Buttercream x Ganache = Double-Chocolate Frosting [Photographs: Vicky Wasik] I don't think a baker can ever have too many recipes for any given dessert, and that's as true of buttercream as it is of chocolate chip cookies. That's because what's "best" can vary depending on what ingredients one has on hand, how much time is available for the project, and/or what dietary considerations may be required, not to mention the degree of chocolate intensity your current craving may demand. After you've made a yolk-rich yellow cake, it's only natural to give those wayward egg whites a purpose with a batch of Swiss meringue buttercream spiked with chocolate. Meanwhile, to accompany cake recipes based on whole eggs, like my vanilla butter cake or chocolate skillet cake, an eggless option, like whipped ganache, might make more sense. While all of these recipes can deliver big chocolate flavor, those techniques can be time-consuming, to say the least. If you stopped at this stage, you'd have a very nice cocoa frosting.

Don't Throw That Out! 5 Ways To Turn Your Kitchen Scraps Into Delicious Meals It’s common knowledge that fresh vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. You know this. This is why you buy, cook, and eat them on the regular. But did you know you could be getting even more out of your veggies than you already are? Fresh vegetables (especially organic ones) can be expensive, but rather than skimping, I say use every last part of them -- even the parts you usually throw away. Beet, Radish, and Turnip Tops Don’t toss out the green, leafy tops of root vegetables, like beets, radishes, and turnips! Broccoli Stems Tough, fibrous broccoli stems may seem destined for the compost bin, but two minutes of effort will totally transform them into tender, tasty bites of awesomeness. Potato Peels Many recipes call for potatoes to be peeled, but don’t throw away the peels after you’ve removed them! Chard and Kale Stems Fibrous, stringy chard and kale stems are no fun to eat raw, but pickling them changes them completely. Fresh Herb Stems

This 2-ingredient pineapple angel food cake changes everything Betty Crocker is here to save the day with a two — yes, two — ingredient cake recipe. There are no eggs, no milk, no oil — just the box of angel food cake mix and a secret ingredient.

All you have to do is beat the dry angel food cake mix together with the crushed pineapple, and pour the mix into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
