Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
Ok fine. I’m officially ready to make the transition to fall. And I thought, what better way to do it than with my all time favorite Parmesan Roasted Potatoes! These are like candy. 100% addictive. I always, without fail, make these with Yukon Gold potatoes because here’s the truth… I’m too lazy to peel the skins off potatoes. This is more a technique rather than a recipe, since you can scale these potatoes up if you’re cooking for a crowd. You’re going to start with some naked potatoes…. Add on all the seasonings… Using your fingers, go ahead and toss everything together…. Put them in the oven for about 15 minutes. Once they are nice and golden and crispy, throw them onto a serving platter…. And then EAT!! And just a public service announcement – make a double batch and then serve them with breakfast the next morning too.

Here’s a short video sharing how to make these delicious pancakes: If you’ve ever thought you needed a reason to eat pancakes, today is the day: National Pancake Day! How do you like your pancakes? But recently I started dreaming about mixing cinnamon rolls and pancakes together… and this is what I came up with- my new favorite pancake: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. I have a wonderfully fluffy pancake batter that I like to use (recipe below) so I swirled a bit of cinnamon roll filling into the pancake. And they cooked up just like a pancake- fluffy, but with craters of crusty, sugary cinnamon swirled within. You might find three of these stacked in a fancy breakfast restaurant, but I’m gonna tell you that one pancake is all you need. Oh yeah. Ingredients:

justJENN recipes » Shave Ice Cupcakes
**update! These shave ice cupcakes were featured in the June 2012 issue of Food Network Magazine! Wonder why the ice isn’t melting? It’s SUGAR! My friend Cheryl was throwing her baby a first birthday and since our families are from Hawaii (1st birthdays are HUGE in Hawaii) and it was a Luau themed party, I thought I’d make…SHAVE ICE cupcakes! ingredients: Cupcakes (I used Very Vanilla Cupcakes, recipe – here.) frosting red sanding sugar blue sanding sugar yellow sanding sugar 4 oz styrofoam cups red cocktail strawswooden spoons The key to making it look like shave ice is to go with the typical ‘rainbow’ shave ice colors. Place the sugars into separate bowls, then use a spoon to carefully stick the sugar to a freshly frosted cupcake. Once the cupcakes are frosted and sugared, place them into the 4oz styrofoam cups, this really helps make them look realistic… Lined up, they make a great addition to any summer dessert table.
Perfect Iced Coffee
Iced coffee is my life. When I wake up, often around the time party animals on the west coast are just heading home, I start each day not with a cup of freshly brewed hot java, but with a tall, blessed glass of creamy iced coffee in a glass. I’ve been an iced coffee freakazoid for years and years. To say I couldn’t live without it is an understatement. It gives me the tools I need to cope. Iced coffee is a complicated thing, and there are many different approaches. 1. Given the previous set of facts, one would assume that the logical solution would be to brew hot coffee, then transfer the brew to the fridge, allow it to cool, and use it to make iced coffee from there. There are reasons this method results in a smoother, richer, more delicious concentrate than simply brewing strong coffee and refrigerating it. (Note: I’ve totally adapted/tweaked coffee/water amounts to suit my own tastes. I start with a big ol’ container. Rip open a pound of ground coffee. Pour in the coffee. Hi, Julie!
