Recipe for Cheesy Roasted Garlic Potato Balls at Life I think I have discovered the ultimate way to use up leftover mashed potatoes and the perfect appetizer for New Year’s Eve cocktail parties. First you mix left over potatoes with fresh roasted garlic and shredded Gruyere cheese. Next they are coated in a mixture of regular and panko bread crumbs. Finally you take the cheesy roasted garlic potato balls and fry them until they are perfectly golden brown. As if I really needed another way to eat mashed potatoes. The numbers of combinations that you could do with this recipe are essentially endless. These are scrumptious on their own but would also be great dipped in Truffle Aioli.
Sticky Lemon Rolls with Lemon Cream Cheese Glaze | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn Have you ever wondered what cinnamon rolls would taste like, sans cinnamon? Why aren't there more recipes for sticky, gooey, and sweet breakfast rolls without cinnamon or caramel? There are so many other wonderful options! I was craving a buttery, flaky breakfast bun with the sweet, tangy, taste of lemon — so I made one up. These rolls are amazing, if I do say so myself! They are modeled after the classic cinnamon roll, and partially inspired by this bread, with a buttery yeast dough flecked with nutmeg and lemon. These rolls are not difficult, and like other breakfast roll recipes, they can be made at night and put in the refrigerator overnight for easy and quick baking in the morning. The final word on them comes from my mother, who looked at me, wide-eyed, over the brunch table, and said, solemnly, "This is the best thing I ever put in my mouth." Tester's Notes I've made these rolls many times since I first published the recipe in 2010. - Faith, April 2014 Makes 12 large breakfast rolls

BLT Stuffed Tomatoes — Buns In My Oven I’ve had appetizers on the brain lately. These little BLT Stuffed Tomatoes aren’t helping much either. In fact, looking at these pictures makes me sad. I don’t have any left and now I want more! These are the perfect little finger food, full of creamy sour cream, salty bacon, and a bit of parmesan cheese, all stuffed in a little cherry tomato and sprinkled with green onions. The next time you have a get together I beg you, I implore you, I command you to make these little guys. These don’t take all that long to prepare and can be made a few hours in advance. You then whip up your filling and either pipe it into the tomatoes or just use a small spoon and scoop it into the empty tomatoes. These aren’t all that bad for you either if you use light sour cream and turkey bacon. You can count on each person eating at least 3 or 4 of these little guys, so make plenty! BLT Stuffed Tomatoes 8 ounces sour cream (light works great!) Wash cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Don’t miss a post!

Delicious Cheddar Puffs My mom made these puffs for a cocktail party she threw back in the seventies. Back when Danskin trousers and brown leather clogs ruled the day. I loved these then, when I grabbed a stash and ran up to my bedroom and ate them by myself to the sweet, mellow voice of Helen Reddy. And I still love them now. I love everything that comes out of my mom’s recipe binder. One thing about these puffs: it’s one of the few situations in which I highly recommend using a very good, high quality, crusty French bread (rather than the soft stuff in the bread aisle.) You need a shallot. But shallots are really, really yummy. You need garlic. Garlic makes everything better. Unless you’re a vampire. You need sharp cheddar cheese. You need Dijon mustard. And an egg or two… Just the whites, ma’am. You need butter. Duh. And you need some cream cheese. So, pretty much every fat in the book. Except cream! So really, you should be thanking me. Grab a few garlic cloves. Peel them and mince them… Lop off the top of the shallot.

How to Make Marshmallow Fondant This time I decided to make it with those mini fruit flavored marshmallows. I had to sort them by colour first. I figured they would add a little bit of flavor to the fondant so I wouldn't have to add much flavoring oil. I use gel colours to dye my fondant but regular food colouring will work too. I also had lemon oil and coconut flavoring on hand.. oh la la the value brand (which still works fine). Step One: Take a couple of handfuls of marshmallows and put them in a microwave safe bowl. I like to make smaller batches because its easier to add the colour to the melted marshmallow than it is to work the colour into the fondant later. Step Two: Stick the marshmallows in the microwave for ten seconds at a time until the are puffed up and easily stir into a goo with a wooden spoon. Step Three: Add food colouring to the melted marshmallows until you get the colour you want. Step Four: Start folding icing sugar into the marshmallow goo until it becomes a soft and fluffy dough. Finished fondant! 1.
