Grilled Cheese Pizza

I had an idea for a great tasting Grilled Cheese. Butter 2 slices of bread. Place 1 slice, butter side down, on your heated waffle iron, Foreman Grill or any other form of sandwich maker you might have. Add cheese, pepperoni, black olives, sliced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and anything else you might like on your pizza. Top with the other slice of bread, butter side up. Shut the lid and cook. Use heated pizza sauce for dipping. Boy this is good! I used my waffle iron so I could do 2 sandwiches at a time. I also made some with

Peter single handedly prepared and served us all night long.? Paula did make the birthday cake and it is by far one of my all time faves…Lemon Meringue Cake! We were able to meet up with Paula and Peter once again but just for a quick bite to eat after we went to the Science Center to see Harry Potter

Daring Bakers do Tiramisu

The February 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Aparna of My Diverse Kitchen and Deeba of Passionate About Baking . They chose Tiramisu as the challenge for the month. Their challenge recipe is based on recipes from The Washington Post, Cordon Bleu at Home and Baking Obsession. It turned out perfect.? The only thing I will do differently next time is to dip the cookies in the espresso mixture for longer.? I was afraid of them becoming mushy! And what an incredible challenge this was!? And not because I screwed anything up this time!? They made us make this from complete 100% scratch.? Right down to? making our own mascarpone cheese.? I had to read through the directions several times just to be sure they didn’t want us making our own vanilla and rum extracts!!! I truly loved this challenge and for me it was probably one of the most rewarding.? If I had never done this challenge I would NEVER …

Steak & Onion Wrap with Tzatziki Dip

While working on another dish using Stonyfield Farm Organic Greek Yogurt, I came up with this a delicious steak roast with sauted onions and Tzatziki Dip. This one is wonderful! Dip: 2 containers(5.3oz.each) Stonyfield Farm Organic Greek Yogurt 1 med. cucumber, peeled, seeds removed, grated 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 Tsp. olive oil 1/2 tsp. fresh dill, chopped Mix all ingredients together. Place in a covered container and refrigerate for at least 1 hr. before using. For wraps I use flour tortillas, cooked leftover steak strips or you can use cooked SteakUms found in your grocery store. You can even use deli thin cut London Broil, roast beef and for a different flavor, chicken. Saute enough onion for each wrap. Place your meat and onions on your tortilla leaving about 1″ free at the bottom so you can fold upward when wrapping. Drizzle 1-2 Tablespoons of Tzatziki Dip over onions and meat. Wrap and enjoy. You can also place these in the microwave for a few seconds to heat up the tortillia. This is a good time to also add a little cheese if you want. These are really delicious, they travel well in the lunch box and you have plenty of the dip left over for dipping your wrap. If you’ve never Tzatziki Dip, you must. My daughter loves it on everything from chicken and beef wraps to using it as a dip for her French fries.

Caramel Marshmallows

This treat is one the kids will really love making and eating. You will need: large marshmallows Caramel Apple Dip lollipop sticks chopped nuts, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, toasted coconut, etc. Top each lollipop stick with a marshmallow. Place the caramel dip in a microwave safe container and heat in the microwave for about 25 seconds. Stir. Let the kids dip their marshmallows into the caramel and then roll around in their choice of sprinkles, nuts, etc. This can also be done with melted chocolate. They also make nice holiday treats. If you use white chocolate as your cover you can roll them in colored coconut or sprinkles to match the season. If you have trouble finding lollipop sticks, use pretzel sticks.

Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Bananas

I have a secret…I have a serious addiction to cooking magazines. I’m drowning in them. They are all over my house, and its become more stressful than enjoyable lately. I remember the days when I would get so excited about finding a new cooking magazine in my mailbox…now, I cringe knowing that I still haven’t gotten through last month’s (or the month before) pile. And then when I
