Broccoli Bites for Kids File this under the Onion Soup Mix Recipe category, though there is no Lipton onion soup mix in site. I may even serve these at my next dinner party, they were that good! While babysitting for my 6 year old picky eater niece, I had to come up with a good lunch that would be fun for the two of us to make together. She is not a big broccoli fan (or any vegetable fan), but I told her we would add melted gooey cheese and form the patties with our hands. Please don't laugh when you read this recipe, it is terrific and easy. I made it my own by adding homemade breadcrumbs and fresh chopped steamed broccoli along with lowfat mozzarella cheese mixed with the cheddar. Broccoli Cheese Bites (adapted from My Tasty Treasures & WholeSomeBabyFood.com): 16 oz. package of frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained of liquid (I used fresh steamed broccoli) 1 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese 3 eggs salt & pepper 1 cup of seasoned Italian breadcrumbs Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
The Bread Code Tells You When a Loaf Was Baked Ever wonder what the colors of the tie tags on loaves of bread represent? They're a code designating the day of the week on which a loaf was baked: * Blue: Monday * Green: Tuesday * Red: Thursday * White: Friday * Yellow: Saturday[...]An easy way to remember it, though, is to simply recall the alphabet.

Go ahead and throw tomatoes at me if you’d like, but I don’t like ’em. They’re just a plain old cookie, after all, with a few studs of chocolate chips in them. They’re nothing special to me, unless you get some cookie dough-action before it meets its fate in the oven. I know there are plenty of cookie-dough-nay-sayers out there… you know, the salmonella scare and all . Chilled dough is rolled into 1-inch balls. Those chilled dough balls are dipped in chocolate and then placed onto waxed paper to set. I dipped a few in Ghirardelli White Chocolate Bark and a few in the Chocolate version too. Oh yeah!

Creamy Avocado Shells + the Clockless Oven Save Someday, if you’re lucky and I feel like sacrificing our dignity, I will show you a picture of our lovely oven. Chris originally thought we should name this blog “The Timeless Kitchen” because the oven has no clock. That’s right, read ‘em and weep, literally. At some point the LYK oven’s clock shorted and started beeping uncontrollably, as our smoke alarm also tends to do. Naturally, the previous tenants thought it best to simply rip out the clock. For our first few months living in the LYK we had to guess what the numbers on the temperature dial were since they had all conveniently worn off. Please try not to be jealous of our super upscale kitchen. Now that you’ve had a peek inside the real LYK I’ll tell you about this recipe we made from Angela at Oh She Glows. Save In fact, it was so heavenly that I forced myself to swallow whole al dente pasta shells just to get some creamy, zesty, herby carbs in me — still can’t chew due to the wisdom teething.

Ask Mr Breakfast -- How do I poach an egg? How's it going Florence? I'm doing fine. Let's get to poaching. Get out a medium or large saucepan. You'll want something with a depth of at least 3 inches because that how much water you'll be using. Stay out of trouble, Mr Breakfast How To Poach Eggs Without Using Vinegar In the years since I first answered the question above, I've started using a slight variation on that method. The trick to this method is pricking the eggs with a pin and boiling them in the shell for just 10 seconds. After reading the column above, Chef Phil C. wrote in with some advice for poaching multiple eggs. "First of all I rarely poach less than 4 or 6 eggs at once. "Bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer, then stir the water briskly to form a vortex. "I then take them out and keep them on a deep dish with a little warm water. Thanks for the great tip Chef Phil! Denise S. who works at a Bed and Breakfast in Charleston, SC wrote to us with another way to poach eggs. Thanks Denise! Uh oh...
Cookie-Stuffed Cookies [Photographs: Adam Kuban] Have you seen Pinterest yet? (Yeah, we're on there — go follow us if you'd like.) I was on that site a couple weeks ago when I saw the most friggin' amazing thing: Oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies. WTH!? Problem is, I don't like Oreos. I felt I had to try the original recipe, though, before messing around with a tweak. Oreo-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies A picture is worth a thousand words, they say, so I'm not going to blab too much here. See also: The Best Chocolate Chips for Chocolate Chip Cookies » Here's the takeaway: Use a 1 1/2-tablespoon cookie scoop to dole out equal-size portions of dough, plopping one on either side of the Oreo. Palm the sandwiched Oreo and apply gentle, even pressure to mash the cookie dough around the Oreo, being careful not to crush the boring little cookie as you do so. If you've done it right, it'll bake up to look like the cookie above, at right. And once again, just to hit you over the head with another beauty shot: Genius!
