For dinner, I made BBQ ribs, twice-baked potatoes, and golden crusted brussel sprouts. It was delicious! These ribs were pork spare-ribs which I hadn’t tried cooking before. Twice-baked potatoes are always tasty and I found the brussel sprouts recipe on 101 Cookbooks. Read more for the details…
My brother- and sister-in-law recently had their baby, so I was looking for a treat to make them when I found this recipe. It’s from 101 Cookbooks, and over there it’s called Minty Chocolate Christmas Cookies. But why only have them for Christmas?
The frosting is pink because the baby is a girl!
Several days ago, I picked up some fresh blueberries on sale from the grocery store. I also bought some pancake mix so I could make some blueberry pancakes. They turned out GREAT! (sorry, no pictures)
First, mix up the pancake batter as directed. Then heat up your skillet to 300-350F. When the pan is hot, pour in the batter to the size of pancakes you want. Then drop the fresh (washed, dried) blueberries into each pancake. When the bubbles in the batter start to set, its time to flip the pancakes. Check the bottoms in a few minutes. When they are golden brown (and the blueberries will start to ooze their juice), they are done.
Even store-bought, cheap, plain pancake mix can be made 100 times better by adding blueberries. Don’t forget the REAL maple syrup either. Yes, it’s a bit more expensive than Mrs Butterworth’s, but ITS WORTH IT!
Enjoy!
I seem to be on a little bit of a cake kick lately. I saw a picture of this cake in the Lionhouse Classics cookbook, and just had to try it! It’s 3 layers of devils food cake separated by two layers of whipped cream and then frosted with chocolate frosting. Decadent. Here’s how mine turned out:
I had some cream left over, so I coated the outside of the cake with it. (:
“Sting of the Bee” or Bienenstich Cake is featured on the cover of Lion House Classics:
Looks good, doesn’t it? Here’s what it has (from the top, down):
Read on for the recipe and how I ruined this one…
See what I did there? It looks real fancy, but it took less than half an hour to make. Here’s how…
