New Change

Alright it had been a while since I have written anything in here, but I think I'm going to change that. i have a new Job and will have a little more free time. So here it goes. I'm going to be whipping up some wonderful meals in the kitchen, and maybe even doing some videos. It should be fun. I am also going to try and make things a little healthier. So cooking with non fat milk, and less butter and oil. And creams...gravy's and creamy sauces are my weaknesses but I'm gonna try.  So wish me luck in this adventure.who knows maybe this is what I need.

Easy Boob Cake

Alright so I haven't written in a while but I have been trying to find worthy things of writing about. Alas here is  good one.  So my friends birthday was the other day and I was asked to make him a cake....shaped like boobs.  yes...i said BOOBS. So i did some research and looked around the Internet and well I found out it was actually very easy. So here it goes.

Easy Boob Cake
Ingredients list

• 2 boxes of cake mix (i used one devils food and one red velvet)
• 2 containers of frosting (i used one cheesecake and one strawberry cream cheese)
• 2 Pyrex bowls good size i used large ones about 8 inches in diameter.
• 6 eggs
• 11/2 cups of water
• 2/3 cup of oil
• 4-5 drops of yellow food coloring

Directions

• prepare cake batter like listed on box.
• when cake is cooled carefully cut the cake in half  so you have a bottom and a top.
• ((being a little morbid i took a little bit of the center out of both cakes and filled them with cherry pie filling. with it being red velvet when you cut the boobs opened the bled...again i was morbid...lol)
• apply a little cream cheese frosting around the layers then place top layer back on cake.
• I then let cake chill over night.
• use the strawberry frosting add the yellow food coloring and mix till achieved skin tone. (or use what ever type of frosting you like. blue if your into the whole avatar alien thing)
• cut a small section out of the boobs and place together seal with cream cheese frosting. This gives it the wonder bra effect.
• apply skin toned frosting over the mounds and smooth. I got creative and used cherry heads as the nipples but you can use what ever. have fun with it.....its boobs for the love of goodies.

Terror Misu

Okay I haven't written in a very long time because I had a block. No not writers block, but cookers block, I hit a funk where I was making the same thing every week and hadn't tried anything new.  But along with the coming of spring and Easter hopping along I took a chance on a cake that I was terrified to make.

I tried my hand at Tiramisu. I have an odd infatuation with this cake. It has all the requirements of being an awesome dessert, coffee, booze and cake, what more could you ask for?

Well, the problem I faced was finding a recipe to make my own, but I did, and I made it in a way that anyone could copy. And well, judging by how it disappeared....it was AWESOME.

Okay so now for the recipe.

You'll need

1 box of white, yellow or chocolate cake mix. Your choice
(make cake according to package.)
1 8oz container of Marscapone
1 package of cool whip. (or 1 cup of heavy whipping cream whipped with vanilla and sugar)
1/4 cup of espresso, or regular coffee.
1/4 cup of Kahlua , or coffee liquor. +1 TBSP
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of white chocolate chips
1/2 cup of mini milk chocolate chips (or chocolate shavings)

Prepare

1. Make cake according to directions on package. Add in white chocolate chips. And bake. When cake is finished let stand for 30 minutes.
2. In small sauce pan add sugar and prepared coffee let boil on medium till sugar is dissolved and stir continuously with wooden spoon.
3. Once sugar is melted remove from heat and add the 1/4 cup of liquor to the mixture and stir, then let stand for 30 minutes.
4. While liquid cools, in a medium sized bowl add marscapone and whipped cream folded into add the Tablespoon of liquor and gently fold in.
5. in large loaf pan or trifle dish add first layer of cake about an inch thick spoon some liquid atop then smooth out whipped topping then continue layering like that till all ingredients are gone. Finish with mini chocolate chips. Chill for four hours...or one day. Then enjoy!

Pixies majick Turkey Chili

I have had a craving for Chili for a few weeks now, and I just didn't want to make any, and buying it was out of the question because no matter where I went it all had beans in it. I dont know about you, but I dislike beans, unless they are green and cooked in chicken broth. (recipe to come later...maybe.) So I caved and I finally made some. Now, this isn't an ordinary chili and being strapped for cash and using all I had in my kitchen I had to make due, the meat is actually five Jenni-O turkey patties. Hope you enjoy.

Hamburger Macaroni Soup

I've been sick for a couple days and mom is always telling me soup is the way to kick a cold. So here's my quick and easy way to get better.

Ingredients
1 lb of ground beef 80/20
1 cup of elbow macaroni
1 can of diced tomatoes
2 stalks of celery diced
2 large carrots peeled and diced
1/2 onion diced
4 cloves of garlic minced
4 cups beef broth
1 Tbls olive oil

Preparation
In a sauce pan partially cook macaroni. In a skillet over medium heat add olive oil, then add garlic, onions, carrots and celery and cook till translucent, then add beef and brown. Once meat it browned drain grease and set aside. Once macaroni is partially cooked, drain and keep in sauce pan. Add vegetable and meat mixture, then add tomatoes and beef broth and simmer till pasta is cooked. To thicken broth a little save 1/4 cup of pasta water and add.  Salt and pepper to taste and enjoy.

For a little kick add some Parmesan cheese.

French Pie

Okay so this recipe came out of me being indecisive. I couldn't decide if I wanted Shepherds pie or if I wanted pot pie, so I caved and came up with this. Yes, I know there are variations of meat pies, and no, I'm not talking about the kind Mrs. Lovette made...**shudders** Mine are made with real beef, no pussy cats and toast, and DEFINATELY no Human remains...You will not be having a little priest with me.

You will need to preheat the oven to 350

Ingredients
2 carrots - peeled and diced
1 1/2 onions - diced
3 stalks of celery - diced
4 cloves of garlic - minced
2 Tbs Italian seasoning
1 lb of ground beef (I used 80/20)
2 large potatoes  -diced
2 tbs of butter (I used Smart Balance)
2 cubes of beef bullion
2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 pkg pie crust (I use Pillsbury ready crust)
In a large stock pot, add butter, onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, onions and garlic, add seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and bullion cubes. Cover and let steam and simmer for a few minutes mixing occasionally. Once the onions look translucent, add beef and cook till brown, mixture will create its own gravy.

Put pie plate on cookie sheet, and then put 1 pie crust in pie pan and then scoop mixture into crust, mixture will mound up this will be okay. When all mixture is in  add second crust to pie and cut 4 small knife vents into the crust to let the steam out. Bake until crust is golden brown.

Serve with or without brown gravy, its up to you. Enjoy!

HOBO Biscuits

Mama's Hobo Biscuits
2 cans of Pillsbury grands biscuits. The jumbo ones work the best
6 eggs scrambled
1 lb breakfast sausage
1 block Cabot sharp cheddar cheese - diced or shredded
2 Tbs Real Vermont maple syrup
3 granny smith apples - cored, peeled and diced

Set the Oven to 350 degrees.

In a skillet brown sausage, once sausage is browned, add the maple syrup and  cook some more. Put in a bowl to cool. Scramble eggs and place in bowl with sausage. Add cheese and apples and blend well. Take the biscuits and flatten out till its almost the size of a small plate. (about 4-6 inches across)
scoop two heaping spoonfulls into center of flattened biscuit and then fold over onto itself pinching the dough together to seal.  Place on baking sheet keeping 2 inches between rolls and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy.

Substitues: I have also made these with ham and bacon instead of sausage. You can also turn these from breakfast to dinner with chicken apples cheddar and bacon.
