To the eggs and milk, add in flour, melted butter and a bit of salt. When it’s time to cook, heat a pan with rounded edges over medium-high heat. Cook the crêpe for 30 seconds or so. Slide the crêpes into a flat pile and let them cool a bit while you repeat the process and make more crêpes. And that’s it.

Baked Egg Boat recipe Breakfast is my favorite meal. I like to drink iced coffee and watch the cream climb its way down the chunky ice cubes in a dazy before the caffeine hits. I like to order bacon with whatever I’m eating. I like eating potatoes with ketchup. I like eggs over easy, and fluffy scrambled eggs.

I do, I do! When Jeff and I lived in Ann Arbor, we went on picnics at Gallup Park all the time – we’d ride our bikes, then relax by the Huron River, and try to resist the urge to feed the dozens of families of geese with their goslings. One time, against our better judgement, we tossed them some crackers. Well, what happened next made us both feel terrible – two families of geese came over to chow down. But, onward to happier times. I threw a bunch of stuff in my mini food processor and whirled it up. You can use it as a dip for fresh veggies or chips, or even thin it out with a bit of water and use it as a salad dressing. I’m officially in love with this healthy, creamy, herby sauce. Do whatever you want!

Broccoli Bites for Kids File this under the Onion Soup Mix Recipe category, though there is no Lipton onion soup mix in site. I may even serve these at my next dinner party, they were that good! While babysitting for my 6 year old picky eater niece, I had to come up with a good lunch that would be fun for the two of us to make together. She is not a big broccoli fan (or any vegetable fan), but I told her we would add melted gooey cheese and form the patties with our hands. Please don't laugh when you read this recipe, it is terrific and easy. I made it my own by adding homemade breadcrumbs and fresh chopped steamed broccoli along with lowfat mozzarella cheese mixed with the cheddar. Broccoli Cheese Bites (adapted from My Tasty Treasures & WholeSomeBabyFood.com): 16 oz. package of frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained of liquid (I used fresh steamed broccoli) 1 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese 3 eggs salt & pepper 1 cup of seasoned Italian breadcrumbs Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
san francisco garlic fries | The Red Spoon Well folks, not much going on this week. I’m still 800 million degrees, which I guess is normal if you’re a human incubator. I’ve become a stretchy, elastic waisted pants spokesperson, because ohmygah maternity jeans are the most incredible thing I have ever worn, excepting for the sweat pants I model almost daily. Ummm, uhhhhh. Thankfully the flour explosion that played out in my mind was not needed as a few huffs and puffs calmed the fire and eventually put it out. The bad: I am now squeamish around my oven. Glad that is over. One Year Ago: Thyme and Gruyere Crackers San Francisco Garlic Fries Adapted from Bon Appetit, August 2011 Serves 4 So, I really like this version more than the previous baked fry I auditioned. 2 pounds russet potatoes, cut lengthwise into 3×1/3×1/3 batons 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 garlic cloves chopped (not minced)* 3 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley Preheat oven to 450-degrees.
Roasted Garlic Olive Oil and Black Pepper Popcorn Ohhh heyyyy nowwww. I have a little confession to make. I’ve been a bit obsessed with salt and pepper potato chips as of late. It’s my favorite snack during my daughter’s softball double headers. It dawned on me when I was knuckle deep in the bag of chips that this might not be a healthiest snack choice considering I’m sitting in these double headers twice a week. That’s 2 double headers, twice a week… oye. So that was when the kernel {get it??!} Because: A: Popcorn that’s air popped is pretty much calorie free. B: A flavored olive oil is a healthier less caloric option instead of butter. C: Black pepper anything pretty much rules. So let me set the scene for you. Start by adding about two tablespoons of olive oil to the bottom of a large bowl. Add in a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper and whisk. Drop a half cup {or follow your manufacturer’s directions} into the air poppers kernel chamber. Thasss it! If you love the subtle spice from black pepper this popcorn is so your jam. Enjoy!

Buffalo Chicken Bites One of my favorite guilty pleasures is buffalo wings, especially dipped in blue cheese dressing. There's something about the buffalo chicken and blue cheese combo that really appeals to me and I had a craving for it lately. When I came across a recipe for ham and cheese stuffed pretzel bites, I figured I could substitute it with chicken and blue cheese. That's when I decided to make these Buffalo Chicken Bites... yum! These are such an awesome snack, which could be a meal in itself if you have enough of them. I plan on making these again and experimenting with other fillings such a steak, provolone, sauteed peppers and onions for Philly Cheesesteak Bites... or even pepperoni, italian sausage, mozzarella and mushrooms for Pizza Bites. Buffalo Chicken Bites 1 cup finely diced cooked chicken breast 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup hot sauce (Frank's brand is what I used) 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled 2 1/2 cups of flour
