You know those fabulous pizzookie’s you order at certain restaurants? In any case, Enjoy my friends!! Start by creaming your butter and sugars right in your ramekin. Just like so, light and fluffy. You’ll add a couple tablespoons of beaten egg next. A splash of vanilla please. Give another good stir of the spoon until combined. Once combined, add your dry ingredients right to the ramekin. Flour, salt and baking soda all set! Give a few stirs then…. Time for some fabulous chips! Oh yah! Top with a lovely scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with my homemade magic shell! Mmmmm.

Jalapeno Popper Filled Potato Bites Everyone has guilty pleasure foods. No matter how “foodie” you think you are, there is a food that you love, but would never want to be eating if Thomas Keller decided to peek in your kitchen window. For me, that’s good ole American bar food. Here are two of my great guilt pleasure loves, in one bite. Jalapeno Popper Filled Potato Bites 12 baby red potatoes 3 tbs butter 1/2 cup chopped red onion 4 cloves of garlic, minced 4 medium sized fresh jalapenos, seeded and chopped 8 oz cream cheese 1/2 cup parmesan cheese 4 strips of bacon, cooked and chopped (you can leave this out if you are vegetarian) 1/2 tsp Kosher or sea salt 1/2 tsp pepper In a large pot of lightly salted water, boil the potatoes until fork tender, about 18-22 minutes. Remove from water and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Once they are cut, remove most of the inside with a mellon baller, leaving enough of the walls and bottom intact to hold the filling. In a pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
How Do I Lose Weight? Photo 54 Losing weight boils down to simple math. To lose one pound weekly, burn or cut out 3,500 calories in the course of seven days. That breaks down to 500 calories per day. It's also important not to exceed your recommended daily calorie intake. Cheesy Potato Pancakes with Jalapeno Sour Cream I like to throw parties, invite people over and make them feel at home. I like to make more than enough food, and for everyone to leave very full and with a take away bag of goodies. But the last time I had a little gathering at Casa De Dodd, I had overlooked my Gluten Free friends. I had remembered the vegetarians, and the vegans, the people who don’t drink beer, but for the ones who are allergic to gluten there wasn’t much. I felt terrible. Gluten Free isn’t a fad diet. Gluten Free (Celiac’s Disease) people don’t want to give up bread. And with over 3 million American’s allergic to gluten, chances are your next party may have one. Because gluten is used as a thickener in tons of processed foods, it can easily hid in obscure places like canned soup, pre-made salad dressing, imitation crab, cheese spread and some brands of soy sauce. So when you come across Gluten Free appetizers and dishes that you love, bookmark for them for gatherings. Cheesy Potato Pancakes with Jalapeno Sour Cream
Green Pedestrian Crossing in China Creates Leaves from Footprints Jody Xiong of DDB China in conjunction with the China Environmental Protection Foundation created this wonderful outdoor campaign to create a subtle visual reminder of the environmental benefits of walking versus driving. Enormous white canvases with a bare tree were placed across 132 crosswalks in 15 Chinese cities. As pedestrians crossed their shoe soles were imprinted with a small amount of green paint, leaving behind a trail of leaf-like footprints. BBD estimated that nearly 3,920,000 people passed through the installations, and the final posters were eventually hung has billboards in several urban locations. Awesome! (via moeity) Skinny Potato Skins: 62 Calories I’m not going to sit here and pretend that these are as good as the real thing. Those potato skins loaded up with bacon, sour cream and cheese that are somewhere around 62 calories per bite. But these make a great lunch durring my “I am GOING to lose those final 3 pounds” week. And they reheat really well, so you can make a batch on Sunday, and reheat them through out the week for lunch. With a side of this salad. I’ve run the numbers and have come up with 62 calories each potato half, but that completely depends on the size of your potato and the amount of flesh you scoop out of it.
