These homemade kit kat bars are supposed to taste like the popular candy bar of the same name. They do have the nice chocolatey crunch of a Kit Kat candy bar, but these bars have more of a salty-sweet flavor than the candy bar. The kids tell me they like the taste of these bars even better.

Kit Kat Bars Recipe

I went to see tUnE-yArDs on Monday night with some friends, and as always we wanted to cook a meal that somehow related to the show we were heading to. Sometimes this is hard to do , but other times it seems to come naturally . Finding culinary inspiration in Merrill's lyrics seemed like it would be tough, but my sister knew what she wanted to make without hesitation. http://www.thefoodinmybeard.com/2011/05/lasagna-timpano.html

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. http://www.kevinandamanda.com/recipes/dinner/mini-lasagna-cups.html
http://www.justhungry.com/single-variety-tomato-sauce I love making jams and preserves . I love the way those jewel-tones jars look, lined up on my pantry shelves. But since most preserves - even chutney - are loaded with sugar, which I’m trying to cut down on. So this year, instead of my usual apricot or plum preserves I’ve put up a multitude of jars of tomato sauce. The only reason for me to make my own tomato sauce and stock up on jars and jars of it is greed. I don’t have a vegetable garden (yet), and commercial canned tomatoes are, for the most part, perfectly fine.

http://funnymike.posterous.com/how-to-make-chocolate-ice-cream-cups-using-ba This is such a TERRIBLE idea. Saw this and tried it. The chocolate needed to be melted, and the heat of it popped the balloons, made SUCH A MESS.
Today I'm making Baby Back Ribs for the family. I used to be afraid to try these, but I've found that I really can cook them with success. I also made them over the Fourth of July holiday, and they were a hit with the family then. My brother-in-law Henry is the expert, so everything I know about ribs I learned from him. Start with choosing the ribs. I got a large pack with three sides. http://auntnubbyskitchen.blogspot.com/2011/07/baby-back-ribs.html

Wow, sorry for disappearing like that! The Fuji Foodie Train was completely derailed this week by sickness. The Fujilings’ pediatrician tells me that this cold and flu season has been particularly nasty, and I believe it! Squirrel already had a cold about a month ago, and then about a week ago came down with a lovely triple combo of a cold, sinus infection, and pink eye. Then she was sweet enough to share the sinus infection with yours truly. http://www.lafujimama.com/2009/04/puff-pancake-aka-breakfast-nirvana/

Let’s not kid ourselves: The majority of Americans look forward to Cinco de Mayo for the simple fact that it’s an excuse to drink.

Problem is, most people meet up with friends at their local Mexican joint and guzzle down whatever atrociously sweet slurry is on special.

The Hazel Bloom: Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Skewers, aka: "Love"

I knew I was in deep when my guy was having a really bad day, and I found myself Googling bacon-wrapped meat recipes so I could cook him a yummy dinner to help cheer him up. See, I'm a vegetarian, and while, yes, I'm fine with people eating meat in front of me at restaurants, and yes, I can kiss my guy right after he's noshed a slice of pepperoni pizza, this whole cooking meat thing had been something I avoided. Passionately. But finding Mr. Right changes things, I guess. So I found this recipe on the Food Network site (Paula Deen!
I was getting kind of sick of ordering delivery pizza (this happens at least 2-3 times a month). It was time to put a spin on gourmet pizza, but I just didn't know what it would be. Without pizza dough or an oven that is capable of creating the perfect pizza crust (I don't have an oven that can go up to a 1000 degrees), I decided I would use potatoes instead.
