Baked Tomato, Garlic, and Basil Bruschetta Bites Finger foods are my favorite kind of food—to eat but not to make. That’s because they usually take a bit more work to put together than the full-size versions. Luckily, that’s not the case with these delicious bruschetta bites. Churros with Chocolate Dipping Sauce & toasty biscuit - StumbleUpon The other day my friend sent me a text and asked, “I want to try making doughnuts and want to make churros but they look difficult. Are they tricky to get right?!” I replied, “Nope! In fact, churros are the easiest doughnuts of all to make. There are only basic three steps!”
EDDIE ROSS - Pink Ombre Cake - StumbleUpon Here's a cake sure to sweeten up the Valentines in your life. Pick up three boxes of your favorite white cake mix—or work from scratch if you have the time—along with a bottle of Wilton's Icing Color in petal pink. Split each box into two batches for a total of six, then add increasing amounts of dye little by little until you achieve the ombre effect. For the outside of the cake, I used a piping bag fit with a basketweave tip. Happy baking, everyone! White Fudge Dipped Easter Oreos 5 more days until Easter!! You ready? I made a mad dash to Target yesterday and picked up my last minute basket goodies. Apparently so was the rest of Orange County, that place is crazy! These colorful Easter Oreos are a must for your Easter table if you ask me!! When I was thinking of this idea, I knew they would be cute, but I love them even more than I thought I would.
Brownie Cookies Brownie Cookies This time of year I love to go on my annual Holiday baking spree and bake all kinds of cookies. From the new cookies that I find to my all time favorites. This year my baking spree is a bit different. Duhlicious - StumbleUpon I rolled my eyes at the red velvet cake trend, but now I can’t get enough. I’ll make any excuse to have ‘cake’ for breakfast– here’s my take on a classic. Red Velvet Crepes (Makes about 24, 8″ crepes) Ingredients: – 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 3 tablespoons sugar - 2 cups butter milk - 1 1/4 cup whole or lowfat milk - 1 large egg - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted - 1 tablespoon red food color gel - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted + 2 tablespoons cooking oil (for pan) *Update: Because the buttermilk lends to the acidity of this batter, do not substitute the baking soda for extra baking powder. If you add more baking powder, and omit the baking soda, you’ll end up with a heavy and dense crepe.
No Bake Nutella Cheesecakes If you happened to catch my post on How To Skin Hazelnuts, you may remember me saying that I have reawakened my obsession with Nutella. You may also recall me stating that my pantry was in absolute disarray from the holidays. When I finally reorganized it, I happened upon a brand new jar of Nutella that had fallen behind my baking drawer – jackpot! This little find rekindled my love affair with all things Nutella in a big way. The entire weekend turned into a pretty ridiculous Nutella recipe marathon. First in queue are these incredibly delicious and ridiculously simple No Bake Nutella Cheesecakes.
No-brainer Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars Chocolate chip cookie bars are one of my favorite desserts to make on a lazy weekend or rainy day. Now with the help of my KitchenAid Stand Mixer, I will probably be making these a lot more often. This recipe is basically the traditional Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, but tweaked a bit and placed into a pan. I have found that the bars take less time, are less messy and taste just as yummy!

Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos Recipe One of the best grilled appetizers is bacon wrapped jalapeno peppers. This recipe is so easy to make and it only consist of 3 ingredients; fresh jalapenos peppers, cream cheese, and bacon. The jalapeno peppers are first sliced in half then seeded, stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped with bacon and grilled. You should consider wearing gloves when slicing and seeding the jalapenos because they can burn your hands.

Better-Than-Crack-Brownies I’m sorry for doing this to you. I really am. But see, last Friday while I was on a 10-hour road trip heading for vacation, I received this recipe from a reader named Liz. Oatmeal Cream Pies These cookies bring me right back to 1989. In grades 1-8 I used to have to go to CCD every Tuesday. Which, by the way, I obviously learned nothing in those 8 years because I just had to look up what CCD stands for. Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, if you were wondering.
