Outrageous chocolate cookies
I am now on INSTAGRAM <--- would love you to follow! Called outrageous chocolate cookies, these cookies definitely deserve their name for being outrageously attractive. The pictures don’t even do them justice: these cookies look really pretty in real life, like small pieces of cake covered in a very thin layer of chocolate. If you want an easy to make cookie that’s all chocolate and yet looks attractive and tastes like a soft and chewy piece of a very good chocolate cake – try these, I beg you! Even though these cookies are very easy to make, you’re dealing with melting the chocolate here, and that could affect your success with this cookie. To avoid that, the important thing is not to over melt the chocolate in step 1. Original recipe calls for semisweet chocolate chunks, but any type of chocolate chips, chunk, or morsels will work. 2) Beat your eggs and sugar in step 3 really well, until light and fluffy – otherwise the dough will be too thin. 3) Do not over cook the cookie.

Chef Chuck Kerber Cooking Tips Never wash mushrooms! If the fungi have dirt or debris on them, simply brush it off with a cloth. Leave your butter out. Make sure your meat is room temperature before cooking. When making meatballs or meatloaf, add some water to the mixture- the end result will be a moist and delicious. When making quick breads or cookies mix the dough just until it comes together. Just because it reads Organic, doesn’t mean the nutritional content differs from a non-organic product. Don’t buy pre-chopped garlic in water. Combine those bottles of left-over white and red wines to use for cooking later. Always rinse your rice before cooking until the water runs clear. For perfect hard-boiled eggs- start the eggs in a large pot with cold water and a tablespoon of salt. Place your fresh herbs in a wet-wrapped paper towel in the crisper. To keep your salt-shakers from clogging, throw a few kernels of uncooked rice in. Season EVERYTHING you cook. Sponges are havens for bacteria.

Pink Wings: Strawberry Panna Cotta Cups
I'm so excited about this one. It's super simple and yummy, and you can make it as a gift or bring it to a picnic or just make one serving for yourself. I use strawberries all summer long because they are the cheapest berry, and this is a perfect summer strawberry dessert. Def. making again soon because it was so easy and nommy. Rating: 9/10Why: It's everything you'd want in a summer dessert: light and refreshing. I suppose my only lament is that the balsamic vinegar dampened the bright red color of the strawberry sauce. Strawberry Panna Cotta CupsMakes about 4 servings Strawberry Sauce: 1/2 pint strawberries, plus extra for garnish1 Tbsp granulated sugar1/4 tsp balsamic vinegar1 Tbsp water1/2 tsp corn starch Panna Cotta: 2 c heavy cream1/4 c sugar1 tsp vanilla extract1 packet powdered gelatin (about 2-1/4 tsp)3 Tbsp cold water Directions: Place strawberries in a food processor and blend just until it is in uniform small bits (don't puree).

The Original Caramel Apple Jello Shots [With Real Apples]
Can you believe I actually spend time trying to figure out what kinds of food could be used as a vessel for jello shots? I'm not a lush I swear ... although my blog would have you totally fooled. It's just that, after filling lemons, limes, oranges and strawberries with vodka infused jello, I knew there had to be something else ... So we tried apples... and guess what? (If you wanted something with a little bit more alcohol content you could always try them out with Van Gogh Dutch Caramel Vodka instead of butterscotch schnapps) Or for a kid friendly, non-alcoholic version just use cold water mixed with two tablespoons of caramel syrup instead of butterscotch schnapps or vodka! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
