Nutella Sandwich Cookies

Nutella Sandwich Cookies
Hello there A Beautiful Mess readers, I'm Emma, Elsie's sister and the gal behind Food Coma. At Elsie's wedding last week I had the opportunity to try Nutella for the first time. Now I'm obsessed. So I've been trying to dream up different ways to use this magical new-to-me spread and I thought that in between two cookies might be the perfect place for Nutella. Along with on top of toast. You can enjoy these cookies in the late afternoon along with some coffee or in the evening with some milk while watching the latest episode of Glee. Nutella Sandwich Cookies, makes 10-12. Ingredients: 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon (aluminum-free) baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of Nutella. Cream together the butter and sugars, stir in egg and vanilla. Now form into small round disks, about 2-3 inches in diameter and uniformly thick. xo.

The threads on the jeans then will very effectively both fix any tiny bends in the blades that inevitably happen and will also sharpen the blades on your shaver cartidge. 2) How to make your teeth whiter Baking soda makes a good teeth whitener. 1.

Cakespy: Behemoth Crumb Cake Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy) drops by every Monday to share a delicious dessert recipe. —The Mgmt. [Original artwork and photographs: Jessie Oleson] When it comes to crumb, I have a theory: if some is good, more is better. This theory was proven when I discovered something called the Colossal Crumb Cake at New Jersey's Ocean Grove Bake Shoppe. Could it be possible to recreate this magic at home? Turns out, halving the cake recipe wasn't necessary—using the full recipe worked just fine, as the weight of the crumb crushed it into a sliver of buttery submission. Behemoth Crumb Cake About the author: Jessie Oleson is a Seattle-based writer, illustrator, gallery owner, and cake anthropologist who runs Cakespy, an award-winning dessert website.

The McDougall Newsletter March 2004 - A Natural Cure for Depression A Natural Cure for Depression Potatoes for Breakfast, Then a Vigorous Very Early Morning Walk in the Sunshine Aldous Huxley in his (1932) novel, Brave New World, and George Orwell in his (1949) classic book, 1984, predicted a future population of people “high” on mood-enhancing drugs. The future is now. More than $8 billion annually in the USA, and $12 billion worldwide, are spent by millions of people trying to improve their unhappy lives with antidepressant medications. Many of us, older than forty, remember a time when our friends and relatives were not under the influence of doctor-prescribed, mind-altering drugs. There are tangible reasons for this epidemic of antidepressant-pill-prescribing that are as familiar to you as your comfortable bed, your easy chair, and your neighborhood fast-food restaurant. The distinction between pain in the mind and in the body is blurred – people are desperately searching for relief, even when that means changing their minds with medication.

Pithy and Cleaver » C’s for Caprese; it’s good enough for me: Grilled Caprese Sandwich C’s for Caprese; it’s good enough for me: Grilled Caprese Sandwich After all the madness you’ve been seeing around here, I’m sure you can get behind me when I say that sometimes I just want simplicity: a crispy slice of toast, a perfect apple, an exquisite salad, simply dressed. In this month of excess, I couldn’t quite dial things back that far, but I got as close as I could reasonably manage while still sticking to the theme: I grilled a caprese salad. Insalata Caprese is a dish from the Campania region in southwestern Italy–its very name means “salad in the style of Capri;” fitting, since it makes me want to go sit in the sun somewhere with cropped trousers and a nice glass of prosecco. In addition to my craving for simplicity, I was guided by a more practical force–the contents of my refrigerator. P.S. Grilled Caprese Use the best ingredients you can find for this–I promise it’s worth it. Heat a heavy saucepan (I like cast iron) over medium heat. Print This Post

Carol Tuttle | Chakra Healing | Take the Chakra Test and Open Your 7 Chakras Dining@Large: Top Ten Great Grilled Cheese Sandwiches - Baltimore restaurants: The dish on the restaurant scene, memorable meals, dining trends and more When I said if I got enough suggestions under my post on elite grilled cheese sandwiches I would make a Top Ten list out of them, I never thought it would actually happen. But here it is, with some help also from Midnight Sun Sam Sessa. I figure it's a good counterbalance to the effete snobbery of last week's Top Ten on great restaurant cheese plates. Take heart, Jonathan Gilbert and Donny B. (For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, you can find their comments under the previous Top Ten post.) Also, special thanks to Retired in Elkridge for making the suggestion in the first place, even though he had to drag me kicking and screaming because I didn't think any places around here were making elite grilled cheese sandwiches. PS: If anyone knows the name of the "hole in the wall" at the corner of Eastern Avenue and Haven Street with a great grilled cheese sandwich that Eve mentioned, please post below. Here's the list: ... * Atwater's in Belvedere Square. * Copra downtown.

Lemon Sugar Cookies Lemon Sugar Cookies Easy and colorful lemon sugar cookies, perfect for Spring and Easter celebrations. Over the last handful of weeks I’ve been debating what food items really shout spring. They’re quick, simple and fun for the kids to get involved with.

In a medium bowl combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Meanwhile prepare desired sanding sugar into small bowls. Grabbing a teaspoon amount of dough, roll into neat balls.

A technique to relax quickly. (article) - StumbleUpon HERE'S A TECHNIQUE for getting into a relaxed, sometimes even blissful state quickly. I found it in the book, Richard Hittleman's Yoga: 28 Day Exercise Plan. He calls the technique Alternate Nostril Breathing. Here's how you do it: 1. Breathe in and out as quietly as you can. This seems a lot more complicated than it is. This technique occupies your mind. It is a scientific fact that your nostrils normally change dominance. Apparently this shift back and forth every 90 to 120 minutes is associated with brain hemisphere dominance. I'm speculating now, but it's possible that alternate breathing balances the activity of the two hemispheres of your brain so that neither is dominating the other. To make it easier to do this exercise, here is the technique in condensed form: Each in, out, and hold is done to a count of eight (approximately one second per count). You can do a less complex version of this.
