10 Ways to Eat Pizza for Breakfast I get bored for breakfast. I know this is absurd. There are no less than four thousand cereal flavor options in the store. Several weeks ago, I made a quick batch of Pizza Dough then baked it into a dozen personal-sized pizza crusts, tossed those crusts into the freezer, and let them sit there until they were needed. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Nutella lava cookies | Kirbie's Cravings | A San Diego food blog sharing restaurant reviews and recipes Wednesday, June 1, 2011 I love lava cakes. For a while now I’ve had this idea playing in my mind to create lava cookies. I tried making nutella lava cookies before, but they didn’t come out exactly as I’d hoped, so I wanted to attempt it again. I took a chocolate cookie recipe that I love, which is thick and sturdy and put some nutella in the middle of the cookie dough. The fiancee really loved these cookies and couldn’t stop eating them. Recipe for cookie base is slightly adapted from the one found on Annie’s Eats.

The Infamous Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies Now, I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I swear by. I love it, I think it is incredible, and I haven’t changed my mind about that. However, as much as it pains me to say it, these chocolate chip cookies by Jacques Torres are absolutely, without a doubt, the best chocolate chip cookies that I have ever made or tasted in my entire life. I guess that’s why they call him Mr. Either way, I made these and everyone that tried them went nuts.

Milk is, in fact, an essential component to enjoying these amazing cookies. The Infamous Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies
Easy Raspberry Lemonade Easy Raspberry Lemonade I just can’t get enough fresh lemonade in the summer. It’s so fun to make with my son, and so easy. I sit him on the counter and he helps squeeze the lemons. He loves to be “mommy’s little chef.” I cherish when he tries to help out in the kitchen, although sometimes it can be stressful. For this lemonade recipe, I used frozen raspberries. Easy Raspberry Lemonade Ingredients 3/4 – 1 cup sugar (depending on how sweet you like your lemonade) 1 cup water 8 oz or 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries 1 cup lemon juice 11 cups or enough water to fill 2 quart pitcher Method 1. 2. 3. Chocolate Valentino (Cake) There is nothing like a flourless chocolate cake.  They are, quite literally, the easiest dessert to make in the wold.  This recipe has three ingredients (ok, I snuck in about a half cup of extra sugar, so four ingredients) and comes together in about 10 minutes. Like my last flourless chocolate cake, it was mushy and delicious straight out of the oven, but needed to cool for a bit before it set. But, um, who on earth is going to complain about that? I’m sad to say that we devoured this cake before I got around to making ice cream, so I don’t have a picture of both together. Chocolate Valentino Daring Bakers – February 2009 The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE’s blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef.

Homemade Tortillas Making soft delicious tortillas at home is surprisingly easy. In fact, once I started making my own suddenly all our dinners and lunches were rolled up in fresh tortillas. The dough is made from flour, shortening, water, and salt. I had all the ingredients on hand but the shortening.. which ended up only costing two dollars and has lasted through many many batches of tortillas. Considering how cheap the ingredients are and how delicious they taste it just doesn't make sense to pay for the much more expensive packaged ones. To make the dough you first work the shortening into the flour. Next some hot tap water and salt is stirred in with a fork until a dough forms. To make sure that the tortillas are the same size the easiest thing to do is roll the dough into a log and then cut it into equal pieces. Since the dough is a medium-stiff consistency it might be easier just to squeeze it into a log shape rather than roll it. Each ball gets rolled out into the seven inch diameter circle. 1. 2.
Strawberry & Chocolate Nachos I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: sometimes the best creations are the ones you don’t set out to create! This might be my new favorite thing. It’s the perfect easy, throw-together, family style dessert for summer. I did a local tv segment this week and made my Baked Cinnamon Chips and Fruit Salsa. When I got home I had a bag full of cinnamon chips left over and started snacking. Then my boys walked in from the back yard with handfuls of strawberries from our garden and I started thinking about how chocolate covered strawberries sounded so good right then because my first thought when I see any sort of food product is how it would taste covered in chocolate. So I chopped up those berries and let them sit in a spoonful of sugar for a bit. Then I sprinkled them all over those crispy cinnamon-sugar coated chips. I grabbed some chocolate chips, and ate a few. Adding just a touch of vegetable oil or shortening to your chocolate makes it nice and smooth for drizzling. Holy Frijoles.
