Just 30 minutes and you can have a big, steaming bowl of chicken soup with a cute and cheesy toasted baguette and tons of other stuff piled on top. You are going to like this.

Easy as hell pizza balls by ~1wolfmadien on deviantART Scottish Farmhouse Eggs Decided to mix things up and do a recipe. This is one I’ve made forever and I’m not 100% positive where I picked it up. It is always a crowd pleaser for brunch or breakfast. Special thank you to Dawnland Mama for the farm fresh duck eggs (even though she is a vegan herself). Oven-Fried Onion Rings « Recipe Onion rings, anyone? And what about some oven-fried ones? Oh, you need to know some more about them to be able to decide. Alrighty, I’ll be glad to tell you. These onion rings are crunchy, flavorful and very delicious. So, what do you think now? Are you with me? If so, here’s the stairway to heaven…no, no… I meant – here’s the step-by-step recipe… This is what we need. 1. 2. 3. Whisk until a smooth batter is formed. 4. 5. Just like this. 6. 7. 8. Let the excess batter dribble off a little. 9. 10. Since you will probably have more rings than you can fit in one baking sheet you might need to work in batches. 11. 12. I’ve used a lovely yogurt herb one. Crunchy around, soft and sweet in the middle. Enjoy, dear friends. Love, Petra (This recipe was adapted from notwithoutsalt.com.)

Pierogi Recipe | Cooking Momofuku at home October 2, 2010 My mom is obsessed with keeping a stocked freezer, but I guess I don’t really take after her, because my freezer tends to be relatively empty, aside from random containers of stock/ramen broth, frozen dumplings and pierogi. I admit, I store buy frozen chinese dumplings and pierogi for those times that I just don’t feel like cooking. I tell myself it’s because of ease and convenience, but really, I just love the taste of frozen pockets filled with deliciousness. Pierogi are fast, tasty, and ideal for when I let myself get too hungry and become a crazy unthinking monster. It’s Oktoberfest right now and that means two things: beer and sausages. I found an old Gourmet magazine pierogi recipe on epicurious.com and for my first pierogi making experience, it was great. I couldn’t resist putting my own twist on the pierogi though: instead of filling all the pierogi with a potato cheddar cheese filling, I mixed up potatoes with green onion oil.

Green Mac and Cheese Mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort meal for Mandi and me. We make it when it has been a rough day, or on a Sunday night to relax. It is very easy to make, super addicting when you eat it, and the best thing is there are always leftovers to bring in to work for lunch. We wanted to make some a few days ago so I looked at the site to see what Mac and cheeses I have done on here to make sure we made something different I would be able to post. Pretty basil flower. We are using the tops of broccoli in this meal, but don't toss out that beautiful stalk! This is some sausage I had in the freezer. A food processor would be better, but I was able to blend this up well after a few times of shutting it off and pressing everything down. Everything ready to go. Recently I had truffle mac and cheese as an appetizer at a restaurant and it was really tasty. Onions, Broc-stalk, salt, pepper, cayenne. Meanwhile, Mandi made some breadcrumbs. We like to try different pastas when making mac and cheese.
