Caramelized Apple Crepes & Recipe & Zoom Yummy - StumbleUpon Crepes are yummy. Fall is good. That much I know. And what about fall inspired crepes? ‘Is that possible?’ I thought. I’ll tell you what – not only it is possible, the result also is amazingly delicious! Sure I have the recipe for you, here it is… The list of ingredients. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. … until sugar turns amber in color. 13. 14. 15. 16. Enjoy! (This recipe was adapted from MarthaStewart.com. Pizza Braid A pizza braid is very kid-friendly, easy on the wallet and extremely simple to make. My aunt and cousin first introduced me to them and I’ve been hooked ever since. The possibilities are endless of the varieties you could make (check out the Apple Dessert Braid!), but the recipe below is for a very basic hamburger and pepperoni braid. As I said, this is extremely basic. The dough takes a few hours to rise, so I take it out in the morning and place a towel over it. Yes, yes the dough in that photo has not risen fully. Then you spread out the sauce, lay the meats down, followed by the cheese. Then with a pizza cutter, start cutting about 1 inch thick strips down the whole rectangle. Follow the pictures above. A few minutes before it’s done I brush with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano. There are so many versions you can make of the pizza braid: Philly cheesesteak, spinach and mushroom, Parmesan chicken- almost anything!

Tumblr Baked Eggs with Bacon and Spinach Do y’all remember the scene in Runaway Bride (that’s an Oscar contender if I’ve ever seen one…) where Julia Roberts realizes that she doesn’t know how she likes her eggs? You know, because she’s always turning herself into the girl that the guy she’s marrying wants to be with? Yeah. I know how I like my eggs, although I will say that it depends on the day. Hey, I’m an independent woman…throw your hands up at me. Now that we’ve established my egg-eating habits, though, I have to say – baked eggs are kind of amazing, an unexpected new love in my egg-eating life. Serves 2, but this can be split in half easily to make them in small individual ramekins. 4 whole eggs3-4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and chopped1/2 cup loosely packed spinach2 Tbsp cream2 Tbsp butter, meltedsalt and pepper to taste1/4 tsp thyme Preheat oven to 375. So now it’s your turn – egg fan?

Chocolate Chip Lava Cookies | Kevin & Amanda - StumbleUpon I am so in love with these darn chocolate lava cookies! What is it about a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie stuffed with decadent, rich, melted chocolate that makes it so irresistible?? Especially when topped with vanilla ice cream. These are one of Kev’s favorite homemade treats, and he usually asks me to make them at least once a week. They are so simple to whip up, and such a treat! Let’s make some right now :) All you really need for these fabulous cookies is your favorite cookie dough and a bag of chocolate chips. Since these cookies are absolutely gushing with delicious rich chocolate, my favorite chocolate chips for this recipe are the Hersey’s Milk Chocolate chips. Now let’s make some chocolate lava cookies! Place the flattened cookie dough in the bottom of a well-greased standard sized muffin tin. Now for our gooey, rich milk chocolate filling. Lay the Ziploc bag flat in the microwave, spreading out the chocolate chips in a single layer. Heaven help me. Mama mia. 1. 2. 3.

Monsanto Receives ‘F’ on Sustainable Agriculture Test 9inShare Share By Jameson Spivack Monsanto, the agricultural biotechnology corporation perhaps most known for its controversial genetically modified (GM) crops, has been given the failing grade of ‘F’ for sustainability by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). Monsanto received a failing grade of ‘F’ from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) for sustainability. UCS, a respected nonprofit science advocacy group, defines a sustainable production system as one that produces enough food, preserves the environment, and protects farmers’ bottom lines. Monsanto believes its GM varieties are the key to eliminating world hunger, by altering crops in ways that increase yields. UCS claims there are eight specific ways Monsanto has failed to deliver on its sustainability claims and undermined efforts to promote sustainability: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 8. UCS’ sustainable agriculture grading is a reminder of the importance the practice holds for the future of farming. Similar posts:

How to Make Crêpes Without a Crêperie | Food for My Family - StumbleUpon A brief tutorial on how to make crêpes at home, no crêperie required. Just you, your stove and a bit of batter and you’ll have a plate full of thin pancakes in no time at all. I’ve always wanted to live abroad, even if just for a short time. To the eggs and milk, add in flour, melted butter and a bit of salt. When it’s time to cook, heat a pan with rounded edges over medium-high heat. Cook the crêpe for 30 seconds or so. Slide the crêpes into a flat pile and let them cool a bit while you repeat the process and make more crêpes. And that’s it. If you’re wondering, no, I still have not been to France, nor have I ventured to Australia. 5 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1 cup water 2 cups flour 6 tablespoons melted butter 1/4 teaspoon salt extra butter for fryingIn a blender combine eggs, milk, water, flour and melted butter.

Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Mushrooms | Everyday Home Cook - StumbleUpon “This is probably my favorite way to eat chicken.” That’s a quote from my husband the last time I made Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Mushrooms for dinner. Marinate some chicken breasts in honey, mustard, and lemon, then top with bacon, mushrooms and cheese… How could that go wrong? I love to serve this dish with a side of oven fries and a crisp lettuce salad. It’s a meal full of flavor! Begin by making the marinade for the chicken. Here’s what you’ll need for the toppings: sliced fresh mushrooms, mostly cooked bacon (it will cook more when baked in the oven), grated cheddar, and fresh parsley. After the chicken has marinated, heat a small amount of oil in a large skillet. Scrape out the pan, and toss in the mushrooms. Assemble the chicken in a large baking dish. After baking for about 20 minutes, chop up some fresh parsley and sprinkle atop before serving! Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Mushrooms 1 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
