Brownie Batter Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes 98K+Pin It With Outrageously Rich Chocolate Indulgence Frosting. AKA The Mega. Almost immediately after making the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes, I got the idea for a rich, decadent massively chocolate brownie batter cupcake, and I haven’t been able to get them outta my head since! To all the chocolate lovers in the house… This is for you. It all starts with the brownie batter – this is seriously one of my favorite chocolate batter mixes ever. It only calls for 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk though, and since I hate recipes that only call for a little bit of something in a can, leaving me wondering what the heck I’m supposed to do with the rest of it, go ahead and make this easy, no machine required homemade ice cream. Use your trusty 1.5 tbsp scoop to drop spoonfuls of brownie batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze overnight. The next day, get ready to bake the best chocolate cupcakes ever. It’s tips like these that keep you coming back, I know. Here it is.
Classic Chicken Parmigiana I love pasta. And noodles. And sauces. And cheese. I love this classic meal. This recipe looks like it’s got a lot of ingredients, but most of it is stuff you’ve probably got in your pantry already. Here’s what you’ll need for the breading. Whisk all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Now get your chicken… BTW, have you seen this chicken?? The best part is that they’re already pounded all nice, flat, and even. Coat both sides of the chicken with the breading. And then set it aside for a sec while we make… The Marinara Sauce! Begin melting 2 tbsp of butter in a medium sized sauce pan over medium to medium low heat. My garlic was on steroids tonight. When the garlic is golden and soft, pour in the tomatoes and add in the sugar. While your sauce is simmering, let’s go ahead and start the noodles. Our sauce is simmering, our noodles are boiling, what are we missing?? Add your chicken breasts and cook 4 to 5 minutes each side until they are golden. Huh. You know what? Chicken Parmigiana

Homemade Bagel Bites This is a super simple recipe idea, and an awesome idea for a snack or just add a salad and serve for dinner! If you're looking for other snack or appetizer ideas, my Cream Cheese Garlic Chicken Poppers are a family favorite! Bagel bites were definitely a hit in our household growing up. We loved those things more than any after-school snack - the hard part was convincing our mom we *needed* them! They are also healthier (you can use low fat cheese and whole wheat bagels). 6 mini-bagels (split in half)~3/4 cup of pasta sauce (I love Emril Agassi's)~3/4 cup of mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup of pepperoni, choppedItalian seasoningStep-by-step:1. To FREEZE: After prepping the pizza bites, do not bake. -Domesticated Duchess
Mini Lasagna Cups If you have any wonton wrappers leftover from the Crispy Southwestern Wontons, here’s a great way to use them up! I was browsing Pinterest the other day when I came across these adorable mini lasagna cups made with wonton wrappers in a muffin tin! How fun are these little lasagnas? And so fun to eat, no utensils needed. The outer wonton shell is thin and crispy, while the inside is soft and chewy, just like a lasagna noodle. Start with one pound of lean ground beef for the meaty lasagna sauce. For spaghetti and lasagna I also like to add a pound of sausage. You can even brown them in the same pan at the same time for ease. Now this makes a ton, so here’s what I do. Here’s 1/4 of the meat mixture with 1 cup of spaghetti sauce. Mix one and a half cups of ricotta cheese with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Coat a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray, and arrange a wonton wrapper into each cup. Take half the ricotta mixture and divide it among the 12 cups. Top with half of the meat sauce…
One Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes For Two Let’s face it: sometimes we all need a dessert that only makes two servings. Sometimes we just can’t handle 12 servings. Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves. Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves in two hours. Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves in a matter of minutes. Sometimes it’s the best thing ever. FYI: I have no idea what that is like. Haven’t you always wished you could make just enough dessert for yourself? Or… just yourself? Me too. But more often than not, I’ve found it to be a hassle to drag out the mixer, cream the sugar and butter, sift the dry ingredients and all that fun stuff for a measly two cupcakes. What can I say? Well, I was lazy. It is definitely your typical white cake; fluffy and soft, full of vanilla flavor, and the perfect vehicle for some fluffy white frosting. And it only takes one bowl! I think what I love most about these cupcakes is their customizability. [print_this] One Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes for Two serves 2 1 egg white 2 tablespoons sugar 1/4 cup flour
Not Your Mama’s Meatballs February 14, 2007 | By Adam Roberts | 24 Comments I wanted something simple. Specifically, I wanted spaghetti and meatballs. I’d never made spaghetti and meatballs before and last night was going to be the night. But then I opened Lydia Bastianich’s book, “Lydia’s Family Table,” and after looking up meatballs in the index I found her recipe for “Long-Cooked Sugo and Meatballs.” After doing more research, I discovered that spaghetti and meatballs is not an authentic Italian dish but an American Italian concession to America’s love for meat. To make sugo you must first make a soffrito: “that essential Italian technique of cooking vegetables and aromatics in fat or olive oil slowly over low heat.” What’s nice about Lydia’s recipe is that instead of chopping the two onions, the shallots, the carrots and celery she has you mince them in the food processor: Easy! So here’s my soffrito cooking over medium heat: Soon you add bay leaves, tomato paste, and a 35-oz can of San Marzano plum tomatoes:
Perfect, Creamy, Fettuccine Alfredo Do you want the most perfect, flavorful, creamiest Alfredo sauce in the *entire* world? This recipe is seriously, the best. I could eat this every day. This is the perfect “for company” recipe when you want to serve a delicious dish that everyone will *love* and will super-impress your guests and have them all *begging* for the recipe. And it has a nice presentation on the plate! I adapted this recipe from a recipe on the Sunday Baker’s recipe blog. Here’s how I make mine.. Rinse 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts in cold water. Layer between 2 sheets of wax paper and pound until even thickness. I almost always pound my chicken breasts, no matter what method of cooking, because if they’re even, they’ll cook more evenly *and* I think they make a better presentation. Now for the marinade… Ingredients: 1 egg, beaten 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice (mix together and let sit for 10 mins and this becomes a substitute for buttermilk) 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder The Breading Mix… Meanwhile…
