Apps ~ And I'm Not Talkin' iPhone I love creating and making appetizers. I have always been fascinated by how just two or three or four ingredients could be combined for a flavorful amuse-bouche (a single, bite-sized hors d’œuvre) or layered on a piece of toasted baguette for a tasty crostini. Yummy. Appetizers can be as simple or as complicated as you like and, when I have guests, I like to offer a little bit of both. Here are five of the appetizers I've made recently. Let's start with the most simple. 1. When I was in the store the other day, I saw a package of fresh mozzarella "pearls" and thought those would be perfect for making the skewers. These are addicting. 2. They are flavorful, but light and low in calories. 3. I loved all of the ingredients, so I honestly expected to love the pie.

dragon roll sushi recipe Recipe: dragon roll sushi The Daring Cooks are making sushi this month! We have done quite a bit of sushi making (and more eating) here at urb so I was quite excited for the selection. Even with the familiarity, I was hard pressed for time to get this done. Because of that, it is with great sadness and yet relief that I am withdrawing from the Daring Cooks. daring cooks – one last cha cha cha! I really have to thank the ladies of the DARING KITCHEN: beloved Lis of La Mia Cucina and sweet Ivonne of Cream Puffs in Venice. Here’s the official line: The November 2009 Daring Cooks challenge was brought to you by Audax of Audax Artifex and Rose of The Bite Me Kitchen. And once again, I colored outside of the lines which is probably why I should be leaving the DCs… I didn’t use their sushi recipe, I used the one I always use because we had a very small window of time to get this done. i thought the egg and ice water looked neat before mixing whisking the wet and dry ingredients together tempura!

French Toast Bake Last weekend I made a French Toast Bake for a bridal shower brunch. I love this recipe because it is so easy (Fia could do this by herself), economical (most expensive ingredient was the Texas Toast at $2), & oh-so-delicious! The best part is that it is made the day before so there is no fuss on the day you consume it....perfect for a Sunday afternoon or brunch. This food post will be step-by-step as I take you through the entire recipe with me...as I like to make my own tweeks & people get mad at me for not telling them EXACTLY what I did. Before I begin....I must note that I was making a double batch (two 9 x 13 pans) so the pictures have double the ingredients. ** For those who are not familiar with Texas Toast, it is thickly sliced bread. Ingredient Checklist 1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick) 1 cup brown sugar 1 loaf Texas toast 4 eggs 1 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla Powdered sugar for sprinkling Directions 1. - Crack eggs & get them started (on low)

Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips with Chipotle Ranch Sauce Ok so I can hardly contain my excitement for the Super Bowl tonight, and I decided that a special weekend like this deserves a double post! Mr. Vittles and I had an appetizer similar to this at a restaurant recently, and I thought I might be able to replicate it at home. Well, all I can say is - sorry if you had any health-related New Years resolutions, because I'm pretty sure you will not be able to keep them with these puppies around. The dipping sauce really takes things to the next level. But if you don't like spicy dips, start with just a tiny bit of cayenne (or none) and adjust from there. Also, feel free to use more cheese and/or bacon to your taste. Now... Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips 1 large, uniformly-shaped russet potato, scrubbed well and sliced into 1/8" rounds*cooking spray3/4 C. shredded colby jack or cheddar cheesesalt & pepper to taste2 T. crumbled bacon (about 2 slices) - I used real bacon bitschopped parsley or chives, for garnish (optional) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
