Baked cheese balls OK, so we did the experiment with the egg roll wrappers and string cheese to make baked cheese sticks and they turned out alright...but nothing to write home about. These, my friends, were not the same outcome. Yes, I used the leftover string cheese from the above recipe. Yes, I used the leftover mix of breading from my baked zucchini chips that I kept in an airtight container in the cupboard until I figured out what to do with it. And, yes, marrying those two ingredients together made the best homemade cheeseball I've made to date. Booyah! Cut your sticks into balls, dip in skim milk, and toss in the breading.... I actually don't know how long I baked them because I watched them the whole time thinking they were going to cheesily explode in the oven because how could the cheese not just melt instead of staying in between the teeniest layer of breading that I could barely see after I put them on the greased baking sheet? Don't mind the shadows in the pictures, they're irrelevant.
Kitchen scoop: Cobbler's soft crust perfect complement to sweet berries Mmmm, fresh strawberries. The kid in me still loves going to the pick your own fields, filling baskets with the fruit. At home, the freshly picked berries go into freezer jam, cakes, pies, smoothies and Strawberry Feta Salad, my favorite summer salad. (All of these recipes and more can be found on Kitchenscoop.com.) This year, I have more than a few quarts of berries that are almost too ripe. The secret to this cobbler is the crust that is perfectly soft and sweet, leaving the berries (or other fruit) to peek through. Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler will rescue your wilting fruit and prove to be a winning recipe again next year when the berries are brimming. Strawberry Cream Cheese CobblerStart to finish: 10 minutes prep; 45 to 50 minutes bake Yield: 10 servings Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add the strawberries, arranging in a single layer as much as possible. Serve hot out of the oven with choice of topping, if desired. Alicia Ross is the co-author of "Desperation Dinners!"

Cheesy Garlic Sticks All righty. Cheesy Garlic Sticks. I make them all the time. I don't make my own pizza dough. When you get your dough, it may need to be 'proofed', which just means it may need to rise. Next up for me to decide on was the type of cheese. After that, I grabbed a spoon and my jar of minced garlic from the fridge (I know, I know, but I love that stuff), I drizzled just a little bit of the garlic infused oil on the pizza, as well as some of the minced garlic itself. I've also added dried garlic powder to this, in addition to the garlic oil / minced garlic, to make it extra potent. All in all, I thought it tasted fantastic. Cheesy Garlic Sticks Makes 1 pizza Ingredients 1 premade pizza dough from a pizzeriaolive oil for brushing dough1 ball of mozzarella (not the kind in water, the kind that is vacuum sealed), you will use about half of a ball, depending on the size of it1 tablespoon minced garlic, with flavored oilItalian spices DirectionsPrepare the crust: Transfer to a baking pizza pan.

Coconut-Lemon Meltaways Whew! It's good to be back and even better to be toting a recipe that I'm super excited and proud of! Originally I thought about making these cookies after purchasing something very similar at my local grocery store a couple weeks ago. Wonderfully Raw makes a great Macaroon, so I have to give them thanks and a shout out for inspiring me to make today's recipe. The main difference between my cookie and WR's is the consistency. These are just too easy to make... Coconut-Lemon Meltaway Cookies Makes roughly 22 to 24 Cookies Step 1. Dry Ingredients 1 & 1/2 cups Almond Flour (you can make this, or buy it - however most store bought Almond flour is not raw) 1 & 1/2 cups dried Shredded Unsweetened Coconut (I used medium shred, but fine shred would also work well) 1/3 c Coconut Flour 2 big pinches of Salt Mix all of your dry ingredients together - set aside and move onto the next step.

Blackberries with Sweet Cream This recipe is based on a scrumptious recipe my mother-in-law and I shared at a Ruth’s Chris steakhouse in Denver shortly before Marlboro Man and I were married. It’s a berry/sweet cream dish that (I believe) is still on their menu today, and at the time we shared the dessert, she and I both agreed that it was probably the most delicious fruit dessert either of us had ever eaten. My father-in-law, who’d ordered his own, fell completely in love. A year or so later, on my father-in-law’s birthday, my mother-in-law and I were planning a yummy meal for his birthday. And bless his soul. It turns out that the sweet cream, which can be served with any variety or assortment of berries, is in the custard family—sort of a cross between Creme Brulee and a Zabaglione, not that I’m sure I can even describe the difference between Creme Brulee and Zabaglione. It’s the way I want to remember it, anyway. *Enter at your own risk Here’s what you need: heavy cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Now I’m exhausted.
Mango Crisp with Macadamia Nut Crust Crisps are among my favorite desserts and although I have been enjoying apple and pear crisps I have been looking forward to spring and summer crisps. Not too long ago I came across the concept of a mango crisp which sounded really good. I had never even thought about using mangos in a crisp and I just had to try it. Now that the mangos are in season I got the chance to make one. I had also recently come across the concept of adding nuts to the crust of a crisp and I thought that adding some macadamia nuts to the mango crisp would be a good ideal. Continuing with the tropical theme I also thought that some coconut would do well in the crust. Ingredients:1/4 cup sugar1 tablespoon cornstarch1/4 teaspoon cardamom (ground)5 cups mango (diced)1 tablespoon lemon (juice)1/2 cup flour1/4 cup rolled oats1/4 cup coconut (unsweetend)1/4 cup macadamia nuts (toasted and chopped)1/2 cup brown sugar1/3 cup butter (melted) Directions:1.
