Garlic Butter Rolls & shutterbean - StumbleUpon For those of you who swoon over garlic twisty bread but can’t bring yourself to order whole pizza to make the delivery worthwhile, this one’s for you! They are scrumptious! Dip some in marinara or serve them with a salad and pasta! You could also eat them alone, directly from your kitchen counter. No one will know. Promise. To push them over the edge of deliciousness, I am going to tuck a little bit of Parmesan cheese in the middle of each roll before I form them into little dough balls next time! I used Trader Joe’s plain pizza dough for this batch! Start by mincing 4 cloves of garlic. While your dough is getting to room temp, get your muffin tin ready and put some oil in a little bowl. Cut the dough into 12 pieces. Put a pinch of garlic on top. Brush the tops with olive oil and place in the oven for 15-18 mins. Here’s what they look like after 17 minutes in my oven. Dip them in a bowl of melted butter and parsley. You have yourself a very delicious little garlic knot/roll. Makes 12
Chocolate Chip Lava Cookies | Kevin & Amanda - StumbleUpon I am so in love with these darn chocolate lava cookies! What is it about a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie stuffed with decadent, rich, melted chocolate that makes it so irresistible?? Especially when topped with vanilla ice cream. These are one of Kev’s favorite homemade treats, and he usually asks me to make them at least once a week. They are so simple to whip up, and such a treat! Let’s make some right now :) All you really need for these fabulous cookies is your favorite cookie dough and a bag of chocolate chips. Since these cookies are absolutely gushing with delicious rich chocolate, my favorite chocolate chips for this recipe are the Hersey’s Milk Chocolate chips. Now let’s make some chocolate lava cookies! Place the flattened cookie dough in the bottom of a well-greased standard sized muffin tin. Now for our gooey, rich milk chocolate filling. Lay the Ziploc bag flat in the microwave, spreading out the chocolate chips in a single layer. Heaven help me. Mama mia. 1. 2. 3.
Panko Mozzarella Sticks! | Tasty Kitchen Blog - StumbleUpon I first discovered panko bread crumbs back in 1999. Please don’t ask me how I know that; I just do. I remember vividly reading a recipe that contained panko bread crumbs, and I remember vividly that I was nursing my second baby, and I remember vividly that I was hormonal and desperate, and the next thing I knew I was ordering panko bread crumbs from some market in Chelsea that the magazine recommended. Panko bread crumbs, in a word, are delicious. Panko are Japanese breadcrumbs, and are lighter and flakier than regular breadcrumbs. When I set out to make a recipe with panko bread crumbs, I started in the direction of something Asian/exotic. So guess what I did? Let me back up: my family LOVES fried mozzarella sticks. Here we go: Panko Mozzarella Sticks! Grab the panko breadcrumbs. You’ll need a bunch of string cheese—one string cheese per two fried mozzarella sticks you’d like to make. You’ll need a bowl of flour… A couple of eggs… A little milk… And some dried parsley flakes. Oh! Yum!
no-bake energy bites | gimme some oven - StumbleUpon I probably should have poured a nice stiff drink recipe for you all on this loveliest of lovely tax days. Especially for my fellow small business owners who just gave half of their revenue back to the government. Good grief, I won’t even go there. Instead though, I thought I’d offer my idea of a more comforting alternative. Pasta. When life is good, and when life gets crazy, I turn to pasta. And just as it has for years, this one hit the spot.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows Maybe I should just start a blog about peanut butter and chocolate. That seems to be most of what goes on around here, right? It turns out, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pillows are not a safe treat to have lying around the house. Having puff pastry lying around also seems to be a bit of an issue. Actually… just having peanut butter and chocolate and a spoon seems to be the problem. Let’s face it… I’d probably eat peanut butter and chocolate off of a rusty pipe… … but puff pastry is a much classier vehicle. And Lord knows I like to keep it classy. This is pretty precious. And these little ravioli looking creatures bake up into the flakiest dough pillows filled with peanut butter and chocolate. I strongly suggest having a crowd of people around as soon as these puppies come out of the oven. Sharing is important. I earned it. Peanut Butter Chocolate Clouds makes 18 Print this Recipe! 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed and rolled out just slightly 1/3 to 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Mac and Cheese Cups - Cupcakes and Cashmere - StumbleUpon Share this image Share It Pin It When I first graduated from college, and was living in a dreary little apartment, mac and cheese was one of my few specialties. Pepperoni Pizza Puffs If I ask my kids what they want for dinner, there's a ninety percent chance they will say pizza. They love it, as most kids do.

Cinnamon Roll Cake & My Shiny Life - StumbleUpon You all know that I love breakfast foods. Maybe it’s because I don’t really cook breakfast that often.

Bacon Potato Hash: - StumbleUpon Shall we start the day off with some potato hash? Yeah I kinda thought so. Let’s face it. Any recipe can achieve greatness by adding bacon. Am I right or what? That’s exactly what I did with my recipe for potato hash. Oh how I love it so! Here are the goods. My {almost 10-year-old} taught me that cute word-that’s-not-really-a-word. She got the same reaction from me when she told me to “chillax”. Okay-dokie, so I started by frying up some bacon, please do it in a 10 inch cast iron or stainless steel skillet for ultimate browning! After the bacon has cooked, pour off all but 2 tablespoons or so of the bacon fat, then remove off the heat. Peel the potato and then carefully slice the potatoes in half. Place the potato halves into a large pot filled with room temperature water. Bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer for about 10 minutes. While the spuds are par-cooking it’s a great idea to prep all the other ingredients so everything is ready to go. Set aside for a sec. Toss… then leave it be.
