Pots de Creme

Okay, first of all, here’s how you do NOT pronounce Pots de Creme: “Pawts deh Creem.” Here’s how you DO pronounce Pots de Creme: “Po de Krehm”, or, if you want to get really technical, “Po de k(insert phlegmy, back-of-the-throat crackly French sound)ehm”. Okay, now that we have that life-altering issue under control, let’s talk about this delightful dessert! Folks, I can’t begin to express to you how monumentally easy this Pot de Creme is to prepare, and how truly delicious it is. Hypothetically speaking, of course. Let’s make Pots de Creme! The Cast of Characters: Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips, Eggs, Vanilla (OR Cognac, Grand Marner, etc.), and Strong Hot Coffee. See this? Not really on the rage part. Begin by throwing in 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips. Crack in four eggs… Right on top of the chocolate chips. Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla. OR! Liqueur hardly ever disappoints me. Next, add in a healthy pinch of salt. Now, put the lid on, for Pete’s sake. Then turn on the blender. And that is IT!

Celebrate National Sandwich Month with 31 delicious combinations Happy National Sandwich Month, that time of year when all Americans loosen their belts and eat a sandwich a day in honor of the best dish ever. What? You don't eat a sandwich each day in August, take a picture of said sandwich and then post it to your own sandwich blog? I guess that's just my husband, Bill Keaggy, who embraces the opportunity to devour hot dogs, hamburgers and any dish demanding mayonnaise. This month, you'll find him at Blues City Deli, Gioia's Deli, Banh Mi So and White Castle eating meat between bread. I do my part, creating several unique combos every year. Here, for your belly's enjoyment, are 31 hits from the past nine years of National Sandwich Month. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31.

The Best New Way to Bring Your Lunch I’ll admit it—my workday lunches can get pretty boring. I always think I’m going to finally make use of all those delicious recipes I’ve been pinning away, but then nighttime rolls around and I’m too busy watching really important things like The Bachelorette and Vampire Diaries. And then morning comes, and I’m running around like a headless chicken and I’m lucky if I remember my keys and bus pass on the way out the door, let alone find time to throw a tasty lunch together. But with a teensy amount of planning, delicious lunches can be just a few easy steps away. All it takes is a trip to the grocery store on a Sunday afternoon, a couple pantry staples, some mason jars, and an hour of your time. Why mason jars, you might ask? There really are only two rules to the mason jar salad: Start with the dressing or sauce, and end with the lettuce and herbs. The best part is you can make five salads at a time, and they’ll stay fresh for the whole week—just grab and go on your way out the door!

Homemade versions of Girl Scout cookies I admit it: We’re Thin Mint addicts in our house. I try to limit the number of boxes I buy each season because they aren’t particularly healthy or earth-friendly. But, I have many friends with daughters in the Girl Scouts, and the Thin Mints are just so yummy. My 7-year-old didn’t even realize there was any other flavor of Girl Scout cookies than Thin Mints. One reason that Girl Scout cookies hold such a spell over many people is that they are only available for a limited time. Whether you’re looking to create a healthier version of the cookies that you like so much or you want a way to get your fix during the off-season, try your hand at these recipes for Girl Scout-like cookies. Tagalongs – Baking Bites has a recipe for these peanut butter patty Girl Scout cookies.

www.halfbakedharvest Oh man, oh man. OH MAN. Two of those “oh mans” are clearly for this tart, but the third oh man is for the night I’ve had. I guess we will start with the third oh man and save the good stuff for the end. To make a long, and honestly very tiring story, short, I have had the family cat at my house for a day, and well, now he is currently stuck between my walls. He is down just a little too far for any of us to reach and grab him, but he can totally jump to our hands if he tried. Also, I think it’s pretty clear, I should probably never, ever, own a pet. Ok, but the rest of the “oh mans” are all about good, good stuff!! Chocolate banana stuff! I made the classic British Banoffee tart, but with my own little chocolate twist because it seemed to me like the traditional Banoffee tart really needed the addition of chocolate. So I added a pretty thick layer of chocolate silk. I made the crust with Nilla Wafers, a touch of honey and some shredded coconut. Ahh yeah. That’s why this tart is perfect.

Want To Learn How to Make Gordon Ramsays Favourite Dessert?-Hot Chocolate... Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Friday, 16th July 2010 Gordon Ramsay and his thoughts on Hot Chocolate Fondant – “Whenever I’m asked for my favourite recipe, this is the one. It has a divine melting texture and the liquid centre is sublime.” This recipe happens to be one of my favourites as well. I’ve tried countless recipes for these molten lava cakes but non have compared to this one. When I’ve made these cakes in the past the most difficult part of the recipe was slipping the cakes out of the ramekins without them falling part. You can prepare the dessert ahead of time, chill it in the fridge, and then pop in the oven for 12 minutes just before serving and enjoy (that’s the best part)! Are you planning a romantic dinner for 2? (from Gordon Ramsay Make It Easy) Serves 4 Comments (62) Leave a Reply

Crock Pot Sweet Apricot Chicken I seriously have the best friends, family and support system in the world. Really. My blogging family (you wonderful people) have been truly supportive through this whole thing with my husband. Your emails, thoughts, prayers, and those that guest posted so I could be with my family…thank-you. I also had so many friends and family come and watch my kids, bring dinners, and come visit us. One of my cute friends from college, Kelsey, came by to visit when we got back home and dropped off some freezer meals for us that we could just dump and cook and not worry about any prep or any ingredients. This was one of the YUMMY freezer meals she made for us. Totaling in at 4 INGREDIENTS and the fact that it is DELICIOUS makes this recipe a winner in my home! 6-8 skinless chicken breasts 1 cup apricot-pineapple jam 1 cup Catalina dressing 1/4 cup dry onion soup mix Put chicken in a 9×13 pan. Enjoy!
