Patty Melts Who doesn’t love a patty melt? Well, besides vegetarians, people who don’t like rye bread, people who don’t eat onions, or anyone observing a low-fat diet. Which begs the question: Why can I never begin a cooking post like a normal person? Okay, I’ll just put it a different way: I love patty melts. Absolutely, positively to die for. To start, violently grab an onion. Whack it in half… Then cut off one end, peel off the skin… And slice them up! Grab a tablespoon of butter… Throw it into a skillet over medium-low heat… And throw in the onions, honey baby! Stir them around, then let them cook slowly while you get everything else ready. (Name that movie.) Grab some ground beef. Sprinkle in salt… Pepper… And several dashes of Worcestershire sauce! Smush it all together with your hands until it’s all combined… Then form the meat into patties. Real quick-like: stir the onions! Then throw another tablespoon of butter into a separate skillet… And cook the patties over medium to medium-high heat. Amen. Ingredients

Homemade bagel recipe. Make great handrolled water bagels, it's as easy as baking a loaf of bread! I've made a lot of bagels in my time. I owned a bagel restaurant for years, and you would find me every bleary eyed morning kneading the dough and hand rolling all the fresh bagels for the day. I've since gotten out of the bagel game (Yay sleep!) People think that making outstanding bagels at home is really difficult, but it's really no harder than making a loaf of bread...and can be done within about an hour. Don't be discouraged if your bagels look at bit funny at first, you'll get the hang of it in no time, and those curiously shaped bagels will still beat supermarket bagels hands down. What makes a bagel different from other breads is the two stage cooking process. Homemade bagel recipe 4 cups bread flour 1 Tbls sugar 1 1/2 tsps salt 1 Tbls vegetable oil 2 tsps instant yeast 1-1/4- 1-1/2 cups of warm water. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Plop the dough down onto the counter, and knead for about ten minutes, or until the dough is uniform and smooth. Pre heat your oven to 425.

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries These cheesecake stuffed strawberries are the perfect dessert treat! Can I just say that I have died and gone to heaven.

Cream Cheese Frosting I’m not going to try to avoid the question on this one, I’ll just start with the honest truth: I’ve made ONE traditional cake from scratch. Once. That’s it. It was some time ago, and I don’t remember it being that amazing. But what alternatives do you have to canned frosting? Once you’ve made your own, you’ll never go back. I had some Red Velvet Cake Mix just begging to be used. The ingredients are simple: cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Make sure that your cream cheese and butter are nice and soft. Beat those two together until they are well-mixed. Then beat in the vanilla and powdered sugar. Now you’re talking. Isn’t it just gorgeous? If you plan to do any fancy decorations with the frosting (though my decorations do not even come close to fancy!!) This recipe really is pretty versatile, as you could also change the extract flavor to suit your taste, or add food coloring to jazz it up. 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup butter, softened
