Epic Meal Time - StumbleUpon Pip & Ebby - Pip &Ebby - Hot cocoa&cookies I am a teeny bit obsessed with the cookies from the most recent issue of EveryDay with Rachael Ray magazine.

Poor Girl Eats Well: Recipe: Hearty Mushroom &Potato Soup - StumbleUpon If you’re following me on Facebook and Twitter you know that I’m sick with the flu right now. Fortunately it’s not as serious as H1N1, but it is the flu and I do feel terrible. The crazy typhoon-driven storm we’ve been dealing with since last night hasn’t helped much to help me feel better either. To combat the cabin fever that has set in after being cooped up in my apartment since Friday after work, and, frankly, to change things up from the usual canned chicken noodle or even my Sick Person Soup, I thought I’d make something different. Through my cold medicine-induced haze I noticed I still hadn’t done anything with that pack of mushrooms and that there was Mire Poix just dying to be utilized after many summer months of being deemed unpopular. That PGEW device lodged somewhere in the far left corner of my cerebrum started making up potential recipes, and once I saw I had some potatoes to add to the mix I knew I would have a very delicious soup.
Brownie Batter Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes 98K+Pin It With Outrageously Rich Chocolate Indulgence Frosting. AKA The Mega. Extreme. Chocolate. Overdose. Almost immediately after making the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes, I got the idea for a rich, decadent massively chocolate brownie batter cupcake, and I haven’t been able to get them outta my head since! To all the chocolate lovers in the house… This is for you. It all starts with the brownie batter – this is seriously one of my favorite chocolate batter mixes ever. It only calls for 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk though, and since I hate recipes that only call for a little bit of something in a can, leaving me wondering what the heck I’m supposed to do with the rest of it, go ahead and make this easy, no machine required homemade ice cream. Use your trusty 1.5 tbsp scoop to drop spoonfuls of brownie batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze overnight. The next day, get ready to bake the best chocolate cupcakes ever. Mmm, chocolate chips. Here it is.
Sliders Long before Himself and children, my roommate Sara and I would make the trek to White Castle’s for some sliders or Gut Busters as we liked to call them. Piping hot and smelling so good we could down two or three before our brain knew what was happening and made us slow down. Kinda like Krispie Kreme Hot and Nows. Those days are far away and so is the nearest White Castle, therefore I have resorted to making my own. I have tried the frozen kind but I prefer fresh. Let’s start. Firmly pat 2 pounds of ground chuck over top of the onion flakes and sprinkle with your favorite seasoned salt. Bake for 25 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Cut the burger patty into 24 pieces. Slice open 24 party rolls and separate. Top each slider with a dill slice. Top off with bun lids and enjoy immediately. Look at the juicy layer of onions, a signature of White Castle Sliders. Evenly spread the onions on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Our last day of school is this Friday, a bittersweet day actually.
Mac & Cheese I am *in love* with this simple, no-frills mac and cheese. :) My granny used to make this all the time- she knew it was my favorite and always had it ready whenever I came to visit. :) It’s a delicious quick-and-easy side dish- no fancy or unnecessary ingredients, just pure, unadulterated mac and cheese. :D It’s definitely one of my go-to meals- I almost always have all the ingredients on hand- and the baking time / temp isn’t too picky so I can usually just pop it in the oven with whatever my main dish is. :) The ingredients: noodles, butter, salt, shredded cheese and milk Boil and drain noodles in salted water. Since it’s just the two of us, I boiled 2 cups of penne pasta. Top with plenty of the good stuff- shredded cheese. Repeat layers of noodles, salt, butter and cheese until you run out of noodles. Now the milk. Bake, uncovered, in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Oh, man, it’s so good. :) The perfect complement to any main dish. Speaking of seasonings, I love them.
Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Chicken Bites 610K+Add bacon to anything and it will fly off the table. That’s what a caterer once told me and I believe it. Certainly applies here.
