eat this. Melted Snowman I first ran across these adorable cookies on Crazy Domestic‘s blog during my weekly quest for bowling snacks. The moment I saw these Melted Snowman Cookies, I knew I had to make them! They are so darn cute!! Plus, they are simple and easy to make! Between work and the craziness of the holidays, I’m all about “easy-to-make!” Let’s gather a few things from the fridge and the pantry and get started!! You know I didn’t even notice the cookie dough packages have two different fonts on the front. You’ll need: 1 package of Betty Crocker’s Sugar Cookie Mix OR substitute your family favorite! See, simple and easy! Mix the cookie mix (does that sound weird to anyone else?) Bake the cookies according to the package directions. Spray a microwave safe plate with cooking spray and put the marshmallows on it. Some of my marshmallows fell over, but I just left them that way! Start decorating! Aren’t they cute? Ahhhh… I’m melting…. What? Hello! All together now! I love these cookies! My simple icing recipe is:
san francisco garlic fries | The Red Spoon Well folks, not much going on this week. I’m still 800 million degrees, which I guess is normal if you’re a human incubator. I’ve become a stretchy, elastic waisted pants spokesperson, because ohmygah maternity jeans are the most incredible thing I have ever worn, excepting for the sweat pants I model almost daily. (Seriously, they need to make jeans this comfortable for non-knocked up folks.) The weather has suddenly de-humidified itself and is now safe for this 800 million degree gal to go outside and actually enjoy it. And I had my first untamed, uncontrolled, almost explosive fire in the kitchen. Ummm, uhhhhh. Thankfully the flour explosion that played out in my mind was not needed as a few huffs and puffs calmed the fire and eventually put it out. The bad: I am now squeamish around my oven. Glad that is over. One Year Ago: Thyme and Gruyere Crackers San Francisco Garlic Fries Adapted from Bon Appetit, August 2011 Serves 4 Preheat oven to 450-degrees.

Beatty's Chocolate Cake This Ina Garten recipe has been waiting patiently for me to make it, ever since I stopped short on it in one of the Barefoot Contessa's cookbooks. Rich, dense but not too much so, moist, dark and so chocolatey that you'll wonder why you've ever bothered with boxed mixes - there's absolutely no comparison. It's Chocolate Cake, of course - Beatty's Chocolate Cake. The cup of hot coffee in the cake batter really does enhance the chocolate flavor...although we preferred it the next day, after a good chill in the fridge. The coffee overpowered the chocolate flavor the day of making, and while it wasn't terrible (it's chocolate cake, after all!), it was just too strong for us. Beatty's Chocolate CakeBarefoot Contessa At Home Serves 8 Preheat oven to 350F. Sift and combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Chocolate Frosting Beatty's Chocolate Cake

Global Food Disparity: A Photo Diary In an increasingly globalized world, it’s still sometimes shocking to see just how disparate our lives are compared with other human beings around the world. A book of photographs by Peter Menzel called "Hungry Planet: What the World Eats" ("©Peter Menzel www.menzelphoto.com. Ten Speed Press, published in 2005) makes a relevant point with great irony: at a time when hundreds of millions of people don't have enough to eat, hundreds of millions more are eating too much and are overweight or obese. In observing what six billion eat for dinner the authors note, "Today, more people are overweight than underweight." It is these cultural differences, emphasized and reinforced by the author, which exemplifies the lifestyles and dietary habits of people around the world. You can buy the book here.
