Pie Pops Alber Elbaz speaks about “lightness” during interviews before his collections. I think his summation of what women need seems pretty accurate. Yes, we need lightness/ease/mobility. The different flavors. Cinnamon, Sugar, cornstarch, these three were the main ingredients used to hype the filling. I made blackberry filling with just sugar and cornstarch. I label all my homemade jams and fillings. With the same lolipop stick, I’ve sealed the pie, making indents all around the pop. Very crucial to slather egg whites on pie exterior. Blackberry Apple. Pumpkin Pies to go. In case you’re into saving desserts, this is fridge friendly too. <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker.

Caramel Banana Upside Down Bread | The Daring Gourmet I couldn’t take it anymore. After two carb-free days to lose the 2 pounds I had gained after an indulgent week, I had to have CARBS. A few days ago I was back down to my desired weight and I approached the day with a smile on my face. An almost intoxicated giddiness set in. Rubbing my hands together – “I can eat carbs today!” I ended up going the majority of the day without carbs again, though the avoidance wasn’t deliberate this time, it just worked out that way. A breathtakingly serene lake in an idyllic setting. The kids were both tuckered out from a day of play and took a nap as soon as we got home. This creation wasn’t planned. Once again, I chose whole wheat flour (complex carbs = much better for you). What a fabulous day it was! Before we get to the recipe, please take a moment to “Like” The Daring Gourmet on Facebook so you’ll never miss a recipe! So happy to have you on board! Okay, lets get started on that recipe! Mash the bananas. I decided to add a little cinnamon too.

Pepperoni Roll...my own version Hello everyone! Welcome! Thanks for stopping by! Here is my version of a pepperoni roll. I have learned that there are some pretty fantastic pepperoni rolls in West Virginia...I would love to try one some day. This is just my version...a simple, yummy recipe that I make for my family for dinner once in a while. I love pepperoni rolls! I like to use Rhodes brand. (not being paid by Rhodes to say that...I just love their products) Loosely cover the frozen bread dough with plastic wrap. Roll dough out to approximately 11 x 11 square. One frozen dough log makes one pepperoni roll. Lay pepperoni on dough covering entire surface. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Next, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese. Lightly sprinkle with Italian herbs...basically, some dried oregano, parsley and basil. Add a sprinkling of garlic powder. Roll up dough starting at one edge of square. Place rolls on baking sheet, leaving space between. Brush some melted butter on top of uncooked pepperoni roll. P.S.

Couponing & Cooking: Butterfinger Cake I have an embarrassing confession. My most viewed post is one of my ugliest. Yummiest maybe but certainly not my best when it comes to photos. I have posts I have spent hours on, edited over 100 photos for and still this Butterfingers Cake is my most viewed, reposted, pinned and shared recipe of all time. It's ironic, really. As bloggers, we work so hard to have the perfect pictures to go with each recipe yet this is a post that I originally spent maybe 15 minutes on. I have made this cake many times over since its first posting in December of 2011 but for some reason, I never get any pics of it. So I am resharing it with some new photos. See my original post and not so cute photography below. This is another one of those recipes that I saw on Pinterest and just had to make. Pinterest Inspired Butterfingers Cake 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Store in the fridge once iced. Enjoy! Make sure you stop by this week's Mealtime Monday and link up any amazing recipes you have been working on lately.
