Stuffed Baguette Stuffed Baguette A hollowed baguette obviously makes a perfect shell for any filling you are in the mood for. And once stuffed and properly chilled, it becomes a neat appetizer. This particular one is filled with all my favorite things: goat cheese/cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes, olives, spicy salami, crunchy bell pepper, and fresh herbs. Makes one 12-inch long baguette; about 24 slices Ingredients: Baguette about 14-inch long8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature 4 oz fresh goat cheese 1 large garlic clove, minced ½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper (about 1 medium) ½ cup finely chopped sun dried tomatoes in olive oil¼ cup finely chopped Kalamata olives 2 oz finely chopped spicy salami About 2 tbsp minced Italian parsley About 1 tsp minced fresh thyme Freshly ground black pepper Salt to taste (very unlikely since there’re plenty of salty ingredients) Preparation: Slice off both ends of the baguette. Using an electric mixer beat the cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
Tasty Food, Indian Food Recipes, Indian Cuisine, Non Veg Recipes, Easy Cooking Dishes Food that doesnt SUCK Cheesesteak Sandwich The famous sandwich from Philly is a nutritionist’s nightmare: mounds of greasy beef and fried onions; a massive, oil-soaked hoagie roll; and to top it all off, a viscous deluge of Cheez Whiz (that’s right, traditional cheesesteaks are made with Whiz). But we want you to have your steak and eat it, too, so we came up with this version, which relies on a lean flank steak, a whole-wheat roll, and a yogurt-based blue cheese sauce. It’s a bit fancier than the sandwich from the City of Brotherly Love, but to our tastes, it’s also better. You’ll Need: 2 Tbsp plain Greekstyle yogurt (we like Fage 2%) 2 Tbsp olive-oil mayonnaise 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese 16 oz skirt or flank steak Salt and black pepper to taste 2 cups arugula 2 tomatoes, sliced 4 whole-wheat sandwich rolls Caramelized onions How to Make It: Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, and blue cheese.

Chicken Fettuccine with Pesto Cream Sauce | Handle the Heat Garlic Butter Rolls › shutterbean 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. 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. (recipe Real Simple Magazine) Makes 12

How to Make French Vanilla Cooked Ice Cream Video Hey everyone! Welcome back to Le Gourmet TV. Today we are going to continue our look at ice cream. Now, we have already done a couple of no cook ice cream recipes here on the site, and those are the sorts of recipes that you can start making it and 45 minutes later you can have ice cream in your bowl, that is better than probably 95% of what you can get at the grocery store. Today we are going to do a cooked ice cream, which kind of gets you that next 5%. We just start off. So while that's coming up to temperature, we will get the next couple of ingredients ready. So the milk is up to temperature, and we will just pull the vanilla bean out and sit it aside, because we are going to scrape out all of the insides of the vanilla bean and add it back into the ice cream and just discard the pod. So now what you want to do is add this hot milk into the egg and sugar mixture. Then you can start to add just a little bit faster. So our mixture has thickened, and it kind of happens just like that.
