Retro Recipe: Homemade Nutty Bars Recipes from The Kitchn With my wedding plans well under way, in addition to an upcoming engagement party and the fiance's big 3-0, let's just say I've been in full on entertaining mode. The internet has been a fabulous (if not overwhelming) source of creativity. With all the extra inspiration coming my way however, I feel the need to harness the overload of ideas into a few solid hostess home runs. I've always loved the idea of a themed dessert bar for a party. For my own, I thought it would be fun to create the "ultimate snack bar," featuring homemade versions of all my store-bought junk food favorites—think ding dongs, cereal bars, twinkies and whatever other whacky gas station goods I can think of. I was hashing the idea out with a coworker and she demanded I make her Nutty Bars, a Lil' Debbie snack I had all but forgotten about. Despite the onslaught of preservatives, the flavors are simple: chocolate, peanut butter, and sweet wafer. Homemade Nutty Bars Makes approximately 8 bars (Images: Nealey Dozier)
Homemade Doughnuts I’ve always wanted to make homemade doughnuts. I’ve made apple cider doughnuts before, but they were of the cake variety. Yeast doughnuts, however, have been on my baking to do list for quite some time. So on Mother’s Day my kids and I made the most amazing homemade doughnuts with several glazes, including maple, buttery vanilla, chocolate, white, powdered sugar and cinnamon. The chocolate is the most visually impressive, followed closely by the maple. The vanilla glazes didn’t cover as well but tasted just as spectacular as the ones that did. I don’t deep fry things too often, so it can be quite a production when I do. This is what you really want to achieve. Sorry for all the pictures, but I couldn’t pick a favorite angle, so you’re getting them all. My 14 year old son snuck down to my craft room, pulled out some construction paper and foam sticker letters to make this. :) Awww! RECIPE NOTES: I was actually out of milk.

broccoli parmesan fritters Last week, it was pointed out to me that among the 750 recipes in the archives, there is but a single recipe that utilizes broccoli. Just one! (It’s a great one, though.) Please understand: this is not one of those stories about how preciously advanced my toddler’s tastes are, how early he took an interest in foie gras and how he turns his nose up at white flour pastas, preferring farro. I have a theory that you can tuck almost any finely chopped or shredded vegetable — be it potatoes, zucchini, or an Indian-spiced mix — into a savory pancake, fry it in small mounds until crisp on both sides, serve it with a dollop of a sour cream or yogurt sauce and they will be inhaled. So, you know where this is going. And with that, I had them for lunch instead.

Magic Blondies Subscribe to Cookie Madness by Email Today’s recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart, and it had been on my “to try” list for ages. My concern was that these muffins/cookie things would be pretty, but not very tasty. Luckily, I was wrong. The cake part is very moist without being overly rich and there are enough add-ins to make it interesting. These are definitely going in the “Bake Sale” file. Magic Blondies 2/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut 1 cup (180 gram) semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup (120 grams) chopped toasted pecans 1 2/3 cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder 3/4 teaspoon (3 ml) coarse salt 9 tablespoons (125 grams) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup (220 grams) packed light-brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, until pale and fluffy. Related posts:
Brown Butter Double Fudge Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cookies Little bit of a mouthful there. But it’s like a cookie on top of another cookie! Yeah. Like total dirty cookie on cookie action. Except these ones down below wanted to try a few different positions. I dunno… they’re all mixed up. In order to solve a common I-want-a-chocolate-CHOCOLATE-cookie-but-he-wants-a-plain-chocolate chip-cookie dilemma that happens like, every single weekend here… I made both. Some of them smashed up against each other while others sat on top of each other but in the end, they all tasted… fantabulous. And then they tasted extra delicious after I spent two hours cleaning out the contents of our bar (take that as you will), after he spent three hours organizing the pantry (that was weird) and after we both needed to severely eat our emotions immediately post-Boardwalk Empire finale. WHAT was that. ??????? Why??? Then I tried to dunk a cookie in milk and failed. I need cookie dunking lessons, a redo on season 2 (thanks HBO), and a salad. [from giant rainbow cookies]
