Baked Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes & The Craving Chronicles

Baked Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes & The Craving Chronicles
I might be harboring a slight pumpkin obsession right now. I just… I saw the canned pumpkin at the grocery store, bought a few cans, and now I can’t stop. I want to put pumpkin in everything. I’ve seen this one particular recipe popping up here and there for muffins that are supposed to taste like donuts. Now, I love donuts. Love love love. Right about now I can hear you thinking, “Yeah, that’s great, but do they really taste like donuts if they’re not fried?” Printable RecipeAdapted from Tasty Kitchen Makes 20-24 mini muffins Don’t worry – you don’t actually use the whole stick of butter for the coating, it just makes it easier to dip the muffins. Ingredients For Donuts 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon allspice 1/8 teaspoons ground cloves 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 cup canned plain pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) 1/2 cup low-fat milk

Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets | Ginas Skinny Recipes Chunks of all white meat chicken breasts coated in breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese then baked until golden. An easy chicken recipe your whole family will love. What can be more kid friendly than chicken nuggets, even the pickiest kids like them. Serve them with ketchup, bbq sauce or whatever you like to dip your nuggets into. Kids love finger foods or anything you can eat with toothpicks so when my daughter was young I would make her a dish of bite sized goodies she liked such as tomatoes, olives, pasta, etc. and served them with toothpicks and she always cleaned her plate! Once I'm in breading mode I usually make breaded zucchini sticks as well and bake them all at the same time along with some pasta and a salad for a complete meal. Double these for more or make half for less servings. Ingredients: Preheat oven to 425°. Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another.

Fried Ice Cream I'm sure you are thinking about Cinco de Mayo this very minute. You should be because it's in two days. We look for any excuse to celebrate. I'd share a recipe for deep fried ice cream. This would be considered one of my "BIGS". You will need a good quality Vanilla ice cream, corn flakes, flaked coconut and cinnamon. I just happen to find New Simply Cinnamon Corn Flakes. You can, of course, use regular corn flakes. You will need to make 5 scoops of ice cream from a quart size container. Drop the scoops of ice cream onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Let me tell you what you don't have time for...PICTURES. The ice cream melts too fast. Put the corn flakes in a plastic bag. Pound the corn flakes with a rolling pin or crush the corn flakes anyway you'd like...just crush them. Put the crushed corn flakes into a shallow bowl. Add 1 cup coconut. Add one tablespoon cinnamon. In shallow bowl add 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon milk. Mix together with a fork. Roll the ice cream balls into the egg mixture.

Homemade Twix Bars Intro If you don’t want gaggles of children beating down your door on Halloween night then look no further. If you’d rather not be the most popular house on the block then continue on your Internet search. If you aren’t a fan of a cookie crust so tender it shatters in your mouth, or a creamy caramel – dark, intense and scattered with salt, or bittersweet chocolate blended with butter to create the perfect cap to this cookie, then you might need to get checked because I think something is very wrong. If you like the idea of all these things then you are in the right spot and you are here just in time as this is the perfect cookie for this candy-laden season. If you’ve been to Spago for lunch then perhaps you’ve had this dessert fancied up with a fleck of edible gold on the chocolate layer. I recommend serving them while they still have a slight chill from the fridge.

Apple Pie Egg Rolls – Miss in the Kitchen Apple Pie Egg Rolls I saw one of the Food Network stars making apple chimichangas and thought I had to have some for myself. I bought flour tortillas and apples, and then I used the flour tortillas for tacos. Still wanting some kind of fried apple pie dessert I used the egg roll wrappers I had in place of the flour tortillas. UPDATE: I did an interview with the Casper Star-Tribune newspaper and they made a video of me making these Apple Pie Egg Rolls! Apple Pie Egg Rolls Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter 3 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 5 egg roll wrappers vegetable oil for frying for garnish: 1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon Cooking Directions: In a medium size pan, melt butter, add apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Place about 2 tablespoons of apple filling into each egg roll wrapper, wet edges of wrapper with water, roll up sealing edges. Serve with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, it’s good! Enjoy! Miss

chocolate banana crepes This past Friday night was meant for celebrating. The weather was sit-out-on-the-deck-in-the-cool-evening-breeze perfection. Friends gathered from all around the city with chips and salsa and salads and popcorn and laughter and stories to share. And a very special birthday girl turned the big 3-0. Friends, meet Stacey. Read more TGIF, friends. Hope that you all have had a lovely week, and that a relaxing weekend lies ahead. Did I mention on here that I’m leading an Easter choir at my church?! I’m kind of over the moon about it. Anyway, warm wishes coming your way for a good weekend ahead. Read more Ever since my friends and I met for a tapas happy hour at our neighborhood Spanish restaurant a few weeks ago, I’ve had sangria on my mind. So of course, when I found myself in the fruit section at the market this week trying to decide what kind of sangria to make for our weekly neighbor night, I immediately thought of sangria.

Monday Morning Mmmm: Snickerdoodle Cake — Giving Up on Perfect Thanks for visiting Giving Up on Perfect ! You can find more recipes weekly at Monday Morning Mmmm . And don’t miss another post by subscribing ! I wanted to make something new over the weekend. We had friends coming over, and I like to experiment on cook something special for them. As I searched my bookmarked recipes for an Italian dish (which I did not find, so stay tuned next week for what I did instead), I came across a recipe for a Snickerdoodle cake from Scribbit . Since my friends and I would be celebrating a birthday, a special cake (instead of my usual, go-to dessert, brownies from a box) seemed to be in order. I was nervous, not sure if I was up to the task. And it wasn’t. (Finally, I have a reason to get this gorgeous cake plate . Snickerdoodle Cake with Buttercream Frosting 1 package yellow cake mix 1 cup milk 1/4 cup butter, melted 1/2 cup applesauce 3 large eggs 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp cinnamon Preheat oven to 350. share

Cheddar Garlic Biscuits Just like Red Lobster! (This one's for Amy-jo!) Griffin loves seafood, loves Red Lobster (give the kid a break, he's 14), and especially loves the biscuits that come with his entree. I think I found it! This is a simple recipe that is based on Bisquick, so if you've got some of that, you're set! Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Combine 2 1/2C Bisquick with 4T cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter. Drop by 1/4C portions of the dough onto the lightly greased cookie sheet --- over-filling a tablespoon or using a ice cream scoop will work. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in preheated oven until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown. While the biscuits are baking, melt 3T butter is a small bowl in the microwave.

Momofuku Milk Bar’s Crack Pie If it's as addictive as crack, then US$44 is possibly the cheapest crack you can get yourself stoned or in this case, hyper sugary high. I am talking about the infamous Crack Pie, an old recipe revamped by the pastry chef Christina Tosi at Momofuku Milk Bar in NYC. I actually haven't try the real deal from the Milk Bar, so I'll take Anderson Cooper's words for it that once you have tasted the crack pie, it will change your life. However, I did have some of the crack pie made by Ellie (Almost Bourdain) adapted from a recipe posted on LA Times. Over a month ago, I decided to give the recipe a try and made the crack pie for Easter lunch party. I also rediscovered the enjoyment of Cornflakes, all thanks to momofuku. You do have to like your food rich to love crack pie. [print_link] Momofuku Milk Bar's Crack Pie (Adapted from The Los Angeles Times)Serves 6 to 8 Method1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
