Baked Tomato, Garlic, and Basil Bruschetta Bites

Finger foods are my favorite kind of food—to eat but not to make. That’s because they usually take a bit more work to put together than the full-size versions. Luckily, that’s not the case with these delicious bruschetta bites. They’re bursting with flavor and can be assembled in 15 minutes or less! So, preheat your oven, grab a loaf of your favorite baguette, and get out the cutting board. Bruschetta bites are the perfect edible addition to any gathering, and they’re great to serve at holiday parties.

I Believe I Can Fry: Baked Rosemary Garlic Fries - StumbleUpon Back in February, I visited one of my best friends in Cleveland. One of the dishes I sampled were the "Lola fries" at B-Spot, Iron Chef Michael Symon's burger joint in the Summit Mall (not to be confused with OUR Summit here in Birmingham). The Lola fries were simple; skinny-cut fresh fries, flavored simply with rosemary and sea salt. Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos Recipe One of the best grilled appetizers is bacon wrapped jalapeno peppers. This recipe is so easy to make and it only consist of 3 ingredients; fresh jalapenos peppers, cream cheese, and bacon. The jalapeno peppers are first sliced in half then seeded, stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped with bacon and grilled. You should consider wearing gloves when slicing and seeding the jalapenos because they can burn your hands. With the play offs coming up and the super bowl near this is a perfect recipe for game day. Enjoy.

Slutty Brownies - StumbleUpon Now I don’t want to over sell this, so I’m going to be conservative and simply say, that these are… The Best Brownies In The WORLD. I know, big statement. They’re called Slutty Brownies because they’re oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy. They’re best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream (devastatingly I didn’t have any in the freezer this time, so I guess I’ll just have to make them again). They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. Chunky Guacamole with Serrano Peppers Chunky Guacamole with Serrano Peppers This post brought to you by Avocados from Mexico.

A San Diego food blog sharing restaurant reviews and recipes - StumbleUpon Monday, April 11, 2011 Bacon Egg Pancake Cups About a month ago I made some bacon egg toast cups. What I really liked about them is that they have all the breakfast items in one neat package.

Panko-Peanut Crusted Pork Chops or Tilapia . Kitchen Explorers . PBS Parents Pin ItHardly a day goes by when I don’t eat peanut butter. My first memory of eating it was when our babysitter used to make me mashed bananas with peanut butter as a special treat, and I just gobbled it up. Now I love peanut butter on my whole wheat toast, in my ice cream, covered in chocolate, with carrots or apples, and stirred into my Asian noodles and marinades. (I even enjoy licking it off a spoon.) Fortunately, this is a healthy indulgence (well maybe not so much when it’s mixed into ice cream), as peanuts are powerful nutrients, full of healthy monosaturated fats, antioxidents, vitamin E, manganese, protein and fiber.
