Appetizer Recipe: Bacon-Wrapped Potato Bites with Spicy Sour Cream Dipping Sauce | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn Okay, we're not going to win any awards for thinking up this combination, but hey — these potato bites are easy, delicious, and perfect for a sports-loving crowd, should you find yourself surrounded by one this weekend. They even remind us of sports-bar food ... like little deconstructed potato skins. (Image credit: Emma Christensen) We decided to make these after countless evenings munching on these bacon-wrapped dates, which are also very yummy, but got us thinking about other things we could wrap in bacon. If you can find tiny new potatoes, those would be even more aesthetically precious. With the creamy wedge of potato and the crunchy bacon, the sour cream dip is what pushes this appetizer over the edge. Makes about 3 dozen bites 1 pound small or medium red potatoes 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary 1 tablespoon olive oil Freshly ground pepper 12 ounces to 1 pound thick-cut bacon 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream 1 to 3 teaspoons hot sauce Salt and pepper
Frito Chili Pie We’re submerged in football right now. There’s no other way to put it. Marlboro Man is coaching my two boys’ football team, Marlboro Man and I are both tuned in and watching all the college games we can find on TV…and if that wasn’t enough, we’ve also gone to some of our local high school’s home games on Friday night. There’s nothing like high school football games to send you soaring back to adolescence. The cool almost-fall night air…the shirtless guys painted with their team’s colors…the adorable cheerleaders, who, by the way, have way more energy than I remember having at seventeen…the Bon Jovi songs blasting on the loudspeaker in between plays. Is there some kind of requirement that high school football games pipe Bon Jovi until the end of time? It was the worst thing that’s ever happened to my fourteen-year-old daughter. High school football games also mean Frito chili pies. Last night, I whipped up some for dinner. Start with ground chuck or any ground beef you have on hand.

Slutty Brownies Now I don’t want to over sell this, so I’m going to be conservative and simply say, that these are… The Best Brownies In The WORLD. I know, big statement. They’re called Slutty Brownies because they’re oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy. They’re best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream (devastatingly I didn’t have any in the freezer this time, so I guess I’ll just have to make them again). They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. The ultimate comfort food, whipped up within the hour. You will need… 1 Box of cookie mix, 1 Box of brownie mix, 2 Eggs, 2 Packs of Oreos (double stuffed ones are even better if you can find them) Some oil & your favourite ice-cream (optional) Preheat your oven to 350F, 180C, gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with grease proof paper. Squidge (technical term) the cookie dough into a lined baking tray, until it covers the bottom. Cover this layer with your Oreos. Mix up your brownie batter. & pour over your Oreos. Bake for 30mins.
Oreo Cookies and Cream Cookies Willpower is not merely a word; it is the underlying force that drives human action and reaction. Willpower is both the power to suppress and the power to incite. Willpower, or lack thereof, is smothering my ability to review for final exams. It’s the reason I woke up at 10:30 this fine Saturday morning. It’s the reason there’s a pile of dishes next to the sink, begging to be cleaned. Despite the limits of willpower, it’s also why I love to run. Certainly, willpower has an endless number of applications to everyday life. Sure, one cookie is fine. But beyond the threshold of three is a point of no return, my friends. Or in this case, butter and crushed Oreos. But, then again, doesn’t skidding perilously along plastic coated with softened butter, mushed white frosting, and chocolate wafer crumbs sound like fun? Then come ride the Oreo cookie slip-and-slide. Cookies and Cream Cookies Yield: about 14 medium cookies
