Sweet Chips: Choco Nachos Recipe

This is a guest post from CakeSpy.

Desserts inspired by Mexican food: there's just so much untapped potential. I mean, who wouldn't love a delicious choco-burrito (why must it just be choco tacos?) or a blueberry-cornmeal sope with sweetened sour cream on the side? Or tamales with a sweet, instead of savory, filling? Really, the possibilities are staggering (and very delicious-sounding). More Here...
Tuscan Sausage Soup with Shell Pasta, Spinach & White Beans

This a guest post from Feast On The Cheap.

Mariel here. I happen to be one of those people that swears certain pasta shapes just taste better than others. Penne, rigatoni, cavatelli and orecchiete all top my list. Elbow macaroni and farfalle? Ehh, I could take ‘em or leave ‘em. I suspect it has something to do with their meager sauce-sopping abilities.

In any event, when I was assigned A Couple in the Kitchen for this month’s Secret Recipe Club, I was instantly attracted to their Tuscan Sausage Soup packed with “Conchiglie” since shell pasta rounds out my top five all-time faves on the shape list. More Here...

Could You Eat 1,050 Slices of Bacon?

A man in Japan ordered 1,050 slices of bacon on his burger at Burger King. This guy ended up paying $85.82 for all that bacon. That's a lot of bacon--haha (pun intended)! He tried finishing it but failed. The article and video is here on the website Eater. More Here...

Gadget Wishlist for My Future Kitchen

I am obsessed with kitchens. Some people might size up what someone is wearing, admiring them for their unique choice in blending a floral skirt with a leather jacket for contrast, but I admire people’s well-equipped kitchens. Whenever I go over to someone’s house I inspect their kitchen, whether they know it or not, for kitchen fantasticness. The dreamy look you get in your eye when looking at something appealing, like a crush or a big plate of food when you are hungry, is the look my eyes get when I am given a tour of somebody’s kitchen.

My Fav 5 Ice Cream Sundae Toppings

All this talk about new sundae toppings with Sohla's "Is America Ready for the Bacon Sundae?" post got me thinking about sundae toppings. I love ice cream sundaes. The possible toppings are endless. I like to stick to the same toppings with my sundaes, but you can mix it up and personalize your sundae made at home or at the right shop with enough topping options. Here are my Fav 5 ice cream sundae toppings. More Here...
Three Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Cake

This is a guest post by Kirbie's Cravings.
I’ve made a two ingredient flourless Nutella cake and a three ingredient flourless peanut butter cake. So this past weekend I decided to try a three ingredient flourless chocolate cake.

The cake was very rich and dense, similar to other flourless chocolate cakes I’ve eaten. And so easy to make with just three ingredients.

As a personal preference, I do wish there was a slightly spongier and less dense texture like the flourless Nutella cake. I may try to play with the proportion of ingredients next time I make this to create a lighter texture. But it’s still great as is. And you may prefer this denser texture.More Here...
Omelette With Onions And Shiitake Mushrooms

This is a guest post by Chow Times.

Minoo invited Winnie to demonstrate how to make Beancurd Roll in the South Arm Community Kitchen due to request from some participants. Beancurd Roll is a very timing consuming recipe as it requires a lot of peeling, chopping and grating. Luckily we had a lot of helping hands that day.We made two versions of the Beancurd Roll that day; a Pork Beancurd Roll and a Vegetarian Beancurd Roll because one of the participant is a vegetarian. For the vergetarian version, we substituted the pork with omelette, cabbage and mushroom. You can also use dried tofu for the vegetarian version.

The second dish that Winnie demonstrated is an Omelette with Onions and Shiitake Mushrooms. More Here...

Fav 10 Ice Cream Man Treats

Where has the ice cream man gone? I remember playing outside with friends on a nice hot summer day, being alarmed by the well known song, and running home to ask my mom for money to buy something from the ice cream man. Everyone knows the song, treats, and feeling. The ice cream man offers multiple treats options. Here are ten of my favorite ice cream man treats. More Here...
Plan the Perfect Picnic

As soon as it warms up, all I want to do is head over to Central Park for a picnic. I have a couple of picnic baskets to coordinate with my moods and they both look like their straight out of a cartoon. Picnic meals don't just have to be sandwiches and fruit salads. Here are a few of my favorite picnic meal ideas.More Here...
