Warm Bean Dip So with all the talk and posting of Super Bowl party grub I have to be honest, I am not a fan of football. At all. No offense to any of you fans out there, but I'm just keeping it real. Thankfully, I lucked out and married a man that isnt a fan either. He is a lover of motocross and dirt bikes. I can live with that. So with my confession, I do have to say that we like to watch the Super Bowl. (no that is not my manly hand, it's my hubbys) Warm Bean Dip 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1 cup sour cream 2 cans (16 ounces, each) refried beans 1 packet taco seasoning 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese in melted and slightly browned.

The Sisters Cafe Recipes Under 400 • eattonguyen: Who needs ice cream when you can... Les gourmandises d'Isa Baked cheese balls OK, so we did the experiment with the egg roll wrappers and string cheese to make baked cheese sticks and they turned out alright...but nothing to write home about. These, my friends, were not the same outcome. Yes, I used the leftover string cheese from the above recipe. Yes, I used the leftover mix of breading from my baked zucchini chips that I kept in an airtight container in the cupboard until I figured out what to do with it. Cut your sticks into balls, dip in skim milk, and toss in the breading.... I actually don't know how long I baked them because I watched them the whole time thinking they were going to cheesily explode in the oven because how could the cheese not just melt instead of staying in between the teeniest layer of breading that I could barely see after I put them on the greased baking sheet? Don't mind the shadows in the pictures, they're irrelevant. Use fat free cheese sticks (they don't melt as easily).

Bakerella Mango Crisp with Macadamia Nut Crust Crisps are among my favorite desserts and although I have been enjoying apple and pear crisps I have been looking forward to spring and summer crisps.

Faire ses pâtes fraiches maison, aux oeufs et à la semoule de blé dur J’adore quand je peux cuisiner un maximum de plats 100% maison ! L’idéal pour moi serait de pouvoir manger que ce que j’ai fait avec mes petites mains ou que je fais pousser dans mon jardin. Le soucis c’est que ce n’est pas évident pour tout… (d’autant plus que je n’ai pas de jardin !) Le fromage par exemple, je doute pouvoir faire mon Comté moi-même dans ma cave (avec les bons gaz d’échappement des garages d’à côté, miam !) Il faut savoir que cette machine m’a été offerte pour mon anniversaire… Il y a 6 mois ! Je pensais que ce serait long, je pensais que ce serait compliqué, en fait je pensais ne pas m’en sortir. Semoule de blé dur ou farine ? La semoule de blé dur est la plus adaptée pour réaliser des pâtes fraiches, elle assure une meilleure tenue des pâtes à la cuisson. Mais j’ai vu un tas de recettes de pâtes qui utilisent de la farine, je n’ai pas l’impression que les gens se plaignent que leur pâtes « ne tiennent pas ». Comment faire des pâtes fraiches maison ?

chef in training | Cinnamon Rolls With Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting Happy Friday everyone! Sorry for my lengthy post-valentines day hiatus. The third trimester has made me a little slow in the kitchen and I've had my hands full with family. Like my mother, who was in town last week and thinks a day at the spa is a better use of my time than baking (hey, I'm not going to argue). Then we had Mr. Humble's laptop crashing and needing to be resurrected after the latest Windows 7 service pack, something that makes the Mac user in me smirk with smug hipster superiority. Mr. Of course, once I actually got my wish for a pan of delicious freshly made cinnamon rolls, I spent more time eating them than photographing them. Photographing food while pregnant is hard! So let's get down to the how-to. You will find that this recipe is far simpler than the sourdough cinnamon rolls found on NSHP. Alright, I'm going to let my resident dough-maker and crazy pregnant woman care-taker commandeer the laptop and give you the run down for this dough. Over to you Mr. Mr. (Ms. Ms.
