Cake Batter Bars Cake Batter Bars I apologize in advance to anyone out there currently on a diet or trying to lose those ten pounds. Look away while you still can! Hmm.. I probably should have written that before the pictures. My DB started his first day of law school today! I baked these bars back when I was on a cake batter kick with the cake batter cookies and cake batter rice crispy treats.

Amuse Bouche: Restaurant Style I am going to let you in on a secret. It’s one I carry in my back pocket everywhere I go. I feel even more inclined to tell you this secret after watching last night’s top chef, where it became clear that even some of the greatest minds in the culinary world don’t know it. It’s the very best, most delicious and perfect way to cook a steak. You just got served. Anyway. You know when you go to Joe’s Steak and Crab, and it’s the best steak you’ve ever had? Restaurant Style. It’s pan seared in butter and finished in the oven. Also, my apologies to any vegetarians who read this, not because it’s all about meat but I’m mostly sorry that you can’t taste excellence. It also goes without saying that a perfectly cooked filet mignon pairs perfectly with an 08 Hill Family Estate Atlas Peak Cab Sauv. Boom. The best steak you've put anywhere near your face. Ingredients: Instructions: DISCLAIMER: The reason this dish is so amazing is due mostly in part to having the very best, most fresh ingredients possible.
101 Cookbooks - Healthy Recipe Journal Parmesan Roasted Potatoes Ok fine. I’m officially ready to make the transition to fall. And I thought, what better way to do it than with my all time favorite Parmesan Roasted Potatoes! These are like candy. 100% addictive. Once you stop, you just can’t stop. If you knew the amount of potatoes we consumed in a week, you’d be shocked. I always, without fail, make these with Yukon Gold potatoes because here’s the truth… I’m too lazy to peel the skins off potatoes. This is more a technique rather than a recipe, since you can scale these potatoes up if you’re cooking for a crowd. You’re going to start with some naked potatoes…. Add on all the seasonings… Using your fingers, go ahead and toss everything together…. Put them in the oven for about 15 minutes. Once they are nice and golden and crispy, throw them onto a serving platter…. And then EAT!! And just a public service announcement – make a double batch and then serve them with breakfast the next morning too. Parmesan Roasted Potatoes Ingredients Instructions

The Finger Test to Check the Doneness of Meat Recipe Print Photography Credit: Elise Bauer There are two basic methods to test for how done your meat is while you are cooking it—use a meat thermometer, or press on the meat with your fingertips. The problem with the meat thermometer approach is that when you poke a hole into the meat with a thermometer, it can let juices escape, juices that you would rather have stay in the meat. For this reason, most experienced cooks rely on a “finger test” method, especially on steaks (whole roasts are better tested with a thermometer). My mother has been trying to get me to test meat with my fingertips for years, and for years, being somewhat of a scaredy cat (won’t it burn my fingers?) Then my friend David showed me up. Now the point of this story is not to embarrass David (though that would be fun, if it were even possible) but to encourage you, if like me, you’ve been shying away from trying this approach. This is one of those things that gets easier with practice. MethodHide Photos Hello!
My Fridge Food - Recipes you already have in your Fridge Steak au Poivre - The Showstopper I have a comment on this comment, then I have a comment for the OP. To Amy: Removing to foil is simply a way to keep the steaks warm whilst resting (FOR 5 MINUTES AT LEAST… ALWAYYYS!). When the OP says remove to foil, he/she doesn’t mean to wrap them tightly. To the OP and to anyone else who decides to try ‘flambe’: It is important to note: When you add cognac or any other high proof liquour to a hot pan, then ignite, you are not burning the alcohol itself, per se. - Never light alcohol while there is an open flame/heat source. - Notice how in the OP, they remove the pan from the stove and then light. - Keep a heavy lidded pan nearby, just in case things Do go awry (if you follow the first 2 tips, they won’t) - Always have at least an ABC rated fire extinguisher within arm’s reach I would like to add on a personal note, I LOVE steak au poivre. As far as the recipe goes, I would recommend spooning off all but a tablespoon of fat from the pan, before deglazing with the cognac.
Chicken Breasts Caprese with Ham Autumn is rumored to have arrived in the northern hemisphere, but I’ve seen no sign of it yet at my Florida home. Here the temperature still hovers in the upper 80s F., as it has done for months. Shorts and tank tops are still de rigueur. And quickly cooked dishes that won’t heat up the kitchen, such as this one, are still on the menu at my house. This recipe combines the flavors of two much loved dishes — chicken cordon bleu and caprese salad — into one package. Ingredients 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breast halves 4 thin slices of ham or prosciutto (I use the latter) 16 or more fresh basil leaves 3 ripe plum tomatoes, cored and cut across into thin slices 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2-inch by 1/2-inch sticks Salt and pepper, to taste 2 teaspoons good quality balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 garlic cloves, peeled Preparation Pour the olive oil into a large frying pan and place the pan on a medium-high heat burner. print recipe You might also like...
