Cruft: Lasagna Cupcakes When Intelligentsia Coffee opened in Pasadena recently, I was intrigued the lasagna cupcakes they served. The cupcakes are made by Heirloom LA, a catering business. About the size of a muffin, a single lasagna cupcake was a delicious meal. After seeing how much my daughter enjoyed them (she ate my entire cupcake and I had to order a second one), I decided I had to try making them at home. After a bit of research, here is my method. The girls love them and take them to school as lunch. The ingredients are fairly simple. Spray or wipe the cupcake tin with olive oil for prevent sticking and add a little flavor. Once you filled in the first layer, gently press another wrapper in, forming another cup. Once you've placed the second wrapper, repeat the filling as you see fit. A bit of Mozzarella cheese on top of it all. I baked them for 20 minutes at 375° F and then come out perfectly browned. You can do pretty much anything you want as filling from more meats to a vegan version.

Prosciutto-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers Another day, another football viewing snack recipe. And guys? These are the bomb. Sorry to get all ’90s on you, but it’s true. These poppers are amazingly tasty, and super addictive. These pictures don’t really capture all of the deliciousness — I got my eyes dilated an hour before I started cooking, and in case you were wondering, taking photos with eyes that can’t focus on things = bad idea. But anyway. So of course I immediately revised the menu for dinner, raided Dan’s pepper plants, and made me some prosciutto-wrapped jalapeno poppers, pronto. Proscuitto-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers Ingredients: 4 jalapenos, sliced in half lengthwise, seeds removed4 oz cream cheese, softened4 strips prosciutto, sliced in half lengthwise Directions: Preheat oven to 375.
Chocolatey Chocolate Chip Cookies Now, I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I swear by. I love it, I think it is incredible, and I haven’t changed my mind about that. However, as much as it pains me to say it, these chocolate chip cookies by Jacques Torres are absolutely, without a doubt, the best chocolate chip cookies that I have ever made or tasted in my entire life. I guess that’s why they call him Mr. Chocolate! These are a chocolate chip cookie of another color, that’s for sure. Either way, I made these and everyone that tried them went nuts.

How to make Edible Spoons! A few years ago I did a post on how to make edible spoons and bowls from dough. I thought it was a great idea, but just not with my method and recipe. I searched online to see if anyone else had done something similar and stumbled across a small handful of ideas, but then found this little gem… Roy, the inventor of the Edible Spoon Making Kit has indeed thought of a really simple and clever way to make edible spoons. Roy kindly sent me a kit to try (and will be giving one lucky reader a free kit!). While I was making a batch of spoons and some home made pasta, a time saving idea popped into my head. Topping suggestions: Cob-style guacamole: Avocado, corn kernels, red pepper, purple cabbage, extra virgin olive oil, salt and lemon Grilled Thai Mushroom Salsa. Roy, from the Edible Spoon Company is giving one lucky SPW reader the chance to win a spoon making kit! <h2><a href=" Competitions – Banner Rotator</a></h2> Share 6K+ Kimanh
Broccoli Parmesan Fritters Last week, it was pointed out to me that among the 750 recipes in the archives, there is but a single recipe that utilizes broccoli. Just one! (It’s a great one, though.) Please understand: this is not one of those stories about how preciously advanced my toddler’s tastes are, how early he took an interest in foie gras and how he turns his nose up at white flour pastas, preferring farro. I have a theory that you can tuck almost any finely chopped or shredded vegetable — be it potatoes, zucchini, or an Indian-spiced mix — into a savory pancake, fry it in small mounds until crisp on both sides, serve it with a dollop of a sour cream or yogurt sauce and they will be inhaled. So, you know where this is going. And with that, I had them for lunch instead.

Death By Oreo Cupcakes They are probably the best Oreo cakes I have ever tried. A lot of cake's that I have experimented with before are like a vanilla cake with bits of Oreo in them, which didn't really give them enough Oreo flavor. But these were a lot better. I used a dark chocolate fudge cake mix instead of just a regular chocolate cake mix, which went really well with the cookies and gave the cakes just a little more flavor. Ingredients 1 package Oreo Cookies, regular size 1 package Mini Oreo Cookies, for decoration (optional) 1 package chocolate cake mix (mix according to directions on box) 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract cupcake liners Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter and cream cheese. foodsnots.com

Brownie Rollout Cookies Two weeks ago, Alex and I took advantage of the then-awesome weather and went out for dinner at a place with outdoor seating. One cocktail led to another and then Alex put his hand on my knee! No, just kidding. He actually suggested that we order dessert, and in particular, the homemade ice cream sandwiches on the menu. Who was I to argue? The two tiniest, most precious ice cream sandwiches arrived a few minutes later and, you know, the ice cream, it was pretty good. You see, we made chocolate cookies exactly like that for Hanukah each year growing up. I know what you’re thinking: chocolate roll-out cookies? They will not disappoint. I should also tell you that because of their shatter-free bite, they also make excellent lids and bases for ice cream sandwiches.
