Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Pie Nutter Butter- Peanut Butter Pie If you hadn’t heard already, our food blogging friend Jennie lost her husband Mikey last week. It was a sudden and unexpected loss. So here’s my Peanut Butter Pie, my tribute to Mikey and love to Jennie and her family, that I was able to share with my own family. I went with a Nutter Butter crust. If you’re not familiar with Nutter Butters- they’re pretty much just like an Oreo… with peanut butter cookie and peanut butter cream filling. As much as we love Nutter Butters, they had to be smashed into bits for the crust. This is a no-bake, perfect-for-summer kind of pie. A nice layer of hot fudge is then spooned on top. Then it’s topped with the peanut butter cream filling… …and smoothed on top. This was a rather emotional pie-making day. Drizzling slices of pie with more hot fudge just seemed like the right thing to do. Thank you, Jennie, for reminding us how important it is to spend time with family.

Nutella Cupcakes With Philly Cream Cheese Nutella Frosting! My daughter is a Nutella freak and just loves the creamy chocolaty spread! She would take a jar of it to school and her classmates would pass it around during lunch and eat it straight from the container. Probably not the most sanitary thing to do, but teens live for the moment and don’t put much thought into that kind of stuff. I wanted to bake my daughter something special, so I decided to search for recipes using Nutella and found Self Frosting Nutella Cupcakes at Baking Bites.

Spinach Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich Earlier on in the week, when I made the spinach, or spanakopita pesto pasta I made sure to keep some of the pesto left over for something new. I had come across the idea of using a pesto in a grilled cheese sandwich and it was the perfect time to try one. I have been experimenting with grilled cheese sandwiches for a while now. It all started when I first tried adding some jam to one then I moved on to chutneys and now it was time to try a pesto grilled cheese sandwich. Since the spinach pesto had some Greek flavours going on I decided to use a Greek cheese, graviera, in the sandwich. Get ALL 8 Closet Cooking eCookbooks in a bundle for 40% off!

A brownie by any other name… Love brownies. Love their shiny, flaky top that shatters into micro-thin shards that shower onto your fingers as you eat. Love their dark, gooey center. Their “chocolate nirvana” flavor. Sometimes can’t deal with the bake, wait to cool, cutting into squares messiness and fuss of brownies. Every time I make these cookies (which, truth be told, is quite often), I think of a former colleague, Ana, who left King Arthur last year in order to be a full-time mom to her 2-year-old twins. The test kitchen bakers loved Ana. Ana still visits occasionally, 2-year-olds in tow. And when she does, she’ll invariably nose out any chocolate, and treat us to her classic reaction: “Perfect! These cookies are basically brownies: flat, round, 2 ½” brownies. First task: Combine the chocolate and butter. Melt in the microwave till softened… …then stir till smooth. Stir the chocolate into eggs and sugar, which you’ve beaten together. Refrigerate the batter for an hour; it’ll stiffen up nicely. Buy vs.
DIY | Colorful Cupcake Icing Can you believe that every color swatch in the palette below can easily be made from a standard box of red, blue, green and yellow food coloring! Stefanie over at Anna and Blue Paperie shares this lovely icing find from The Food Network. The numbers below each color are the amount of food coloring drops you need to add to plain white icing. The numbers below each color are the amount of food coloring drops needed. Never decorated cupcakes before? Blue Buffalo Buffalo Chicken is something that I get severe cravings over. It's not something that I want all the time, but when I get that urge, there's no stopping me. However I ran into a problem once I started eating only organic meat and buffalo chicken was something that was found few and far between. Until NOW! For this buffalo chicken grilled cheese, I combined one of my mom's most popular dip recipes and morphed it into a delicious sammie. Feast your eyes... Actually it doesn't really look that pretty, but it's pretty dang delicious. Ingredients -4 thick slices of french bread -2 pads of real salted butter -1 tbs blue cheese salad dressing -3 tbs organic cream cheese -2 tbs crumbled blue cheese -1 tbs shredded cheddar -1/2 cup cooked shredded organic chicken breast -1.5 tbs Frank's hot sauce Once you've got everything out, combine all the cheeses into a small bowl. Stir together until you get a smooth consistency. Now combine your finely chopped chicken with Frank's hot sauce and stir. xoxo,
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]
