Dark & Stormy › shutterbean There was a scene in the recent episode of Parenthood that left me deep in thought. When John Corbett pretends to be the: I’m an ex-rocker who’s fallen off the wagon again. I’m back in Berkeley with my vintage leather jacket showing everyone who’s boss character… where does he go to get to that place? Does he pull from the time he was spending Northern Exposure money, getting absolutely toasted with girls from the Meyer’s Rum demo at that roach infested hotel in the Caribbean? Dark Rum. Trust me on this one. And we’re off! This is not rocket science. So you take this slice of lime, right? You still with me? And then you put a LOT of dark rum in there. Remember this when you’re at drink #3: Now put a straw in there; it goes down quicker. Remember, orange straw for Autumn. Dark & Stormy makes 1 drink 1/4 lime10 oz. ginger beer2 oz. Fill a 12 oz high ball glass with ice.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles I’ve never liked chocolate chip cookies. Go ahead and throw tomatoes at me if you’d like, but I don’t like ’em. They’re just a plain old cookie, after all, with a few studs of chocolate chips in them. They’re nothing special to me, unless you get some cookie dough-action before it meets its fate in the oven. Now you’re talkin’. I’d much rather drown my sorrows in a bowl of cookie dough than nibble a dozen “cookies” dipped in milk. I know there are plenty of cookie-dough-nay-sayers out there… you know, the salmonella scare and all . Chilled dough is rolled into 1-inch balls. Those chilled dough balls are dipped in chocolate and then placed onto waxed paper to set. I dipped a few in Ghirardelli White Chocolate Bark and a few in the Chocolate version too. Oh yeah! Yield: 3 to 4 dozen truffles Prep Time: 45 min + chilling time Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles Best served cold, these treats are for cookie-dough lovers. Ingredients: Directions: 1. 2. 3. Tips:

Big Red Kitchen: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes The original and unique Cinnamon Roll Pancake recipe created by Robin Sue! My little Deven loves pancakes and wants me to make them all the time, but I don’t often enough. Late last night my friend had spotted this Cinnamon Bun Pancake Recipe from the blogisphere and posted it on her Facebook status suggesting for her daughter to make them. Wow, Cinnamon Bun Pancakes, that would be a winner in my house too. I created a typical cinnamon roll filling and placed it in a pastry bag to be swirled over the pancakes as they cooked. After pouring 1/4 cup pancake batter in a hot skillet, I swirled the cinnamon filling mixture over top. Cinnamon Roll PancakesFor the Cinnamon Filling… In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, mix until smooth: 1 stick softened butter, almost melty 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 T. cinnamon Using a rubber spatula to scrape the sides, pour this mixture into a large pastry bag that had been opened and stood up in a tall tumbler.

From Arugula to Ziti: French Toast I wasn't always a big breakfast person. Most mornings I'm content with just coffee. But as every woman that has ever tried to lose weight knows, breakfast is a crucial meal. I know there’s a disconnect between a post about French toast and a first paragraph about how eating breakfast is crucial to losing weight. French toast is easy to make, and when you use great bread, it's hands down delicious. Serves 2 4 pieces of bread, sliced thickly 2 eggs ½ cup whole milk 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ginger 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoon butter ½ cup raspberries Maple syrup Powdered sugar In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, extract, and spices. Place a pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with fresh raspberries. {*style:<b> - </b>*} Best of iVillage: Kid-Friendly Breakfasts - The Daily Feed: Porridge—a Retro but Ideal Winter Breakfast
