Stuffed Mushrooms. AKA, food to make really fast when you have a bunch of guests and dunno what to serve them due to total brain lapse. So I purchased a pound of white mushrooms from the farmers market, and I had a bunch of turkey bacon that needed to be used, some green onions, and staples such as breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. It was inevitable…..Stuffed Mushrooms! I never had a written recipe for this, and I’m basically writing it down now according to what my photos show.

~Peanut Butter Lava Cookies! **DISCLAIMER** For some reason these haven’t been very “lava-like” for those of you trying them. I don’t know why, my peanut butter had lots of oil on the top and that may have affected the outcome?! Hopefully, they’re still tasty enough to enjoy as peanut butter cookies, if for some reason they don’t ooze for you..lol. I think the only thing better than Peanut Butter, is warm, ooey-gooey Peanut Butter. Like when you make Peanut Butter Toast and those liquidy puddles of Peanut Butter take your senses to a simple, yet, complex state of taste bud euphoria! :) There’s almost nothing better! Uhh…almost! Grab a glass of Milk, you’ll need it! What you’ll need for 14 Drippy Peanut Butter Cookies: 1 box of Pillsbury Pie Crust Approx. 2 cups of Creamy peanut Butter… 1/2 cup Sugar Directions: Unroll the Pie Crust, and smear one of them with an even layer of Peanut Butter… Put the other Pie Crust on top and cut out approx. 3″ cookies… Let them cool… Thennn..toss them in, yep….more Sugar~ Check them out…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake from Mike's Table A while back, I had seen that the Daring Baker’s made a cheesecake , and it struck me that I had never done so myself. Since then, I’ve had the itch–one of those desserts I needed to do soon–and I’ve finally scratched it. I decided plain cheesecake wasn’t for me–I love it, but I just couldn’t make it when dressing it up with some extra flavors seemed so easy. So today, I fell back to one of my favorite flavor combos of all time: chocolate and peanut butter. Now there are many approaches to cheesecake, the two major distinctions being baked vs frozen. Behind this cheesecake is my usual, from-scratch graham cracker crust , filled with three distinct layers of cheesecake: chocolate, plain, and peanut butter. 1 Graham cracker crust 24 oz cream cheese 1 cup sugar 3 eggs 1 cup heavy cream juice of 1/2 lemon 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 3 oz bittersweet chocolate 1 Tbsp cocoa powder 1/3 cup peanut butter 1 Tbsp honey First, prepare the graham cracker crust .

No-Knead Pizza Dough Everyone on the internet knows about and has made the no knead bread recipe, but what about the pizza dough? Since I have had some success recently with the no knead bread, I decided to try the pizza version out. I went to Co . last time I was in NY, and loved the pizzas there, so I figured it could work. (Co. is where the no-knead guy Jim Lahey makes pizza). There was one main thing I was worried about. I have made a lot of pizza , and my recipe for dough is very involved. The short answer is yes, it works, but this recipe isn't for everyone. Flour and yeast. Halfway through the rise, I split it into two containers because it was overflowing. Bubbly awesomeness. So wet you could pour it. You need to make it into pizza sized balls to rise longer. Rare shot of my room, there was no space in the kitchen! The pizza on the stone. Very tasty! Here is that no knead pizza dough recipe, proceed with caution!

Nutella Filled Sugar Donuts 2K+ What would you say if I told you that I don’t really eat donuts for breakfast? Or, honestly, any sweets? I’m more of a savory kind of girl when it comes to breakfast. All that sugar first thing in the morning? No, thank you. Then I saw these donuts. Then I promptly whipped up the dough (easy!) It was totally worth the loss of sleep. Totally, absolutely, completely worth it. I may not eat donuts for breakfast, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t eat them as sweet afternoon treats and I certainly know a good donut when I taste one. The original recipe called for filling them with pastry cream, but that sounded a little too boring for me. Tasted right, too. Nutella Filled Sugar Donuts Ingredients 1 package (2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast 2/3 cups milk, at room temperature 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/3 cups sugar 2 teaspoons kosher salt 3 eggs 7 tablespoons butter, at room temperature, cut into 7 pieces Canola oil, for frying Nutella, for filling Instructions recipe from flour
Glazed Lemon Scones Recipe I'm so exited that it's Spring! I'm over bleak, cold days and heavy, too filling foods! I can't wait for butterflies and thick grass along with light and zesty foods! And nothing says Spring to me than the lemon! I'll eat just about anything if it has this fresh, light, and slightly sour flavor in it! Let's be realistic, it's that awkward time between Winter and Spring, where the mornings and nights are cold and the days are eager to get warmer, but never quite make that far. All you'll need is one mixing bowl and a baking sheet. Now, get your hands in there and mix in the butter. Make a well in the center of your mix. Now, on a well floured surface, knead, knead, knead! Now flatten the dough with the heel of your palm to desired thickness. Use your zested lemon, mix all the juice with 1 1/2 cups of powered sugar.
Jamaican Coco Bread Continuing with our Jamaican theme, I’d like to introduce you to coco bread! For those of you who haven’t been to Jamaica, I’m sure you’re thinking, “What the heck is coco bread?” My answer to that? Only the best bread you’ll ever eat! It’s sweet, soft and slathered in melted butter. Coco Bread Yields: 2 dozen rolls Ingredients: 1 14-ounce can coconut milk 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (¼-ounce) 2 eggs 2 Tablespoons sugar 4-5 cups flour 2 Tablespoons melted butter 1 teaspoon kosher salt Melted butter (to brush the tops) Directions: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the coconut milk, yeast, eggs and sugar until throughly combined. Continue to add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time until the dough is smooth. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Homemade Sandwich Bread All this cold, wet weather we’ve been having in Boston has put me in a serious mood for comfort food. (I mean, really. Folks in the northeast: Are you ready for spring, or what?) Freshly baked bread is always near the top of my list of yummy, carb-laden indulgences. Much like homemade butter, once you make your own sandwich bread, it’s kind of hard to go back to regular ole grocery store white bread. Making your own bread is also really easy to do. This recipe makes two one-pound (i.e. standard size) loaves of bread. The crumb is even and light in texture. The crust is soft and just a little bit chewy. And nothing makes your house smell as wonderful as freshly baked bread. Not to mention, it makes amazing toast. You don’t need any special equipment to make bread. I usually use my stand mixer (it’s faster) to knead the dough, but you can just as easily (well, almost) do it the old-fashioned way: With your hands and a little elbow grease. Three important things to know about yeast Here you go.
Caprese Salad Caprese salad is a simple and delicious summertime treat. Traditionally it has only tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, salt, pepper and olive oil. The key to this salad is having fresh tomatoes which is why I cant wait until mine jump off the vine into something awesome like this. Over the years, we have changed the way we make it. We first would do the traditional tomato and mozzarella, with a little red onion, cut them into rounds and line them up in a spiral like you sometimes get at restaurants. Clean the skin and seeds from the cucumber and dice it. Mandi is very happy about her new tomato corer. She has a very specific tomato method. Slice red onion as thin as possible. A "chiffonade" of salami, and a rough chop of basil Salt the tomatoes and cucumber. I like to use the bigger pieces of mozzarella and chop them into squares because I think they have more flavor, but we were in a hurry today so I got these. Add as drizzle of olive oil and balsamic, then mix it all up nice. Excellent!
