Jelly Bean Sugar Cookie Recipe

With today being the national JUMP FOR JELLY BEANS day, why not make some Jelly Bean Sugar Cookies!

These cookies are made in only 1 bowl and take less than 20 minutes. 10 minute prep time, 10 minute bake time. Does it get any better?

Ingredients:

4 Tbsp (1/4 cup) butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg yolk
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 bag jellybeans (you will have some leftover)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed using a handheld or stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Beat in egg yolk, almond extract, baking powder, and salt. Add flour, and mix until a dough forms.

Roll dough in teaspoon size balls and bake for 10-11 minutes on an ungreased baking sheet or silicone baking mat. *Watch them closely at the 10 minute mark. Do NOT let cookies brown.

While cookies are cooling, gently press a jellybean into the center. Be careful, as pressing too hard will crack the cookie. Allow to cool completely and enjoy!

Canned Pumpkin Actually Is Pumpkin, but Not the Kind You Carve

It's time to set the record straight. By Kimberly Holland October 13, 2021 In a 2016 story titled "I Just Found Out Canned Pumpkin Isn't Pumpkin At All, And My Whole Life is Basically a Lie," a writer with our sister publication MyRecipes spelled out how she believed canned pumpkin was actually squash, not pumpkin. The story, which also appeared on allrecipes.com, spread like wildfire, igniting outraged cooks in all corners of the country — for good reason. We've all believed our precious cans of pumpkin puree come from magical fields of orange gourds that bask in the sun until they're ripe for the picking. But there's just one problem with that story: It is not exactly true. Canned pumpkin is pumpkin, but it's not the type of pumpkin you are likely imagining when you pluck a few cans off the shelf for your next pumpkin bread baking session. And to be fair to our culinary imaginations, the cans often show illustrations of the classic jack-o'

Italian Mobster Opens Organized Crime-Themed Burger Joint, Charges Prosecutors Double

Salvatore Buzzi says he got the idea for the restaurant during his latest prison stint. By Jelisa Castrodale October 07, 2021 A new burger joint opened in the suburbs of Rome today and, under normal circumstances, that wouldn't be particularly newsworthy. But this clearly isn't normal circumstances, since the owner of Buzzi's Burgers is a convicted murderer, drug trafficker, and well-connected Italian mobster. Salvatore Buzzi told an Italian news outlet that the idea for the restaurant came to him during his most recent stint in prison (and his release is still being contested by prosecutors). Instead of trying to distance himself from his criminal past, Buzzi is clearly reveling in it. According to Corriere Della Sera , the menu at Buzzi's Burgers is filled with references to the Mafia and to other criminals. There are sandwiches named for the organized crime dramas Gomorrah and Suburra (and the latter is loosely based on the Mafia Capitale investigation t

Don't Turn Family Time Into Turkey Time - Hire Your Thanksgiving Personal Chef

That tradition of cooking the day of the holiday will most likely continue this year in a number of households. Who wants to spend their time in the kitchen? There's a better way if families hire a personal chef for Thanksgiving. Not only can families remove stress from the holiday, but it presents a great opportunity to make the holiday special and unique in terms of the dishes you can ask the chef to prepare. Thinking outside of the box, instead of the Thanksgiving staples such as roasted turkey with mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberry sauce on the side, why not change things up? The prep time that many families endure before the holiday can be replaced by flipping through magazines or, let's face it, Pinterest, to find enticing offerings for dinner. One thing to consider is personal taste. This is your Thanksgiving after all and you should keep in mind that there is a special art in choosing dishes that work well together. You also do not want to get the same

Cauliflower Soup Recipe

Need a little something different and elegant - a little rustic? This soup is the answer. It is thickened with potatoes, not flour, and is hearty enough to serve as a luncheon main course or starter for your next dinner party. Why? The milky, sweet, nutty flavor of cauliflower is a nice change from stronger-flavored vegetables. Even though it lacks chlorophyll, cauliflower has plenty of other nutrients including vitamin C (91.5% of the DV), folate and dietary fiber. Cauliflower is even a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Look for tightly packed heads with no brown spots Ingredients: 1 large head white cauliflower with leaves 2 medium potatoes (about one pound/450g) 1 handful dandelion leaves (or fresh celery leaves) 1 small onion, chopped 2 cups/500mls vegetable stock (water or chicken stock is fine) 1 tablespoon/30ml Italian seasoning 2 cups/500mls cauliflower water salt and white pepper, to taste (black pepper is fine) 1/2 cup125ml white wine 1/2 -

Gluten Free and Dairy Free Pancake Recipe

Pancakes have been around since Prehistoric times. In Scotland and the USA they are a leavened dough much like a “drop s cone”. In Britain they are unleavened and resemble more of a thicker crepe. In my house they were reserved for Sunday breakfast or the occasional “breakfast for supper”, which was always a treat. Here is a GREAT version that just happens to be wheat/gluten free. Your family will never know if you don’t tell them. Serves 4 (about 16 pancakes) 2 cups/500ml almond milk (you can use dairy milk, rice, coconut or hemp) 2 large eggs (you can substitute 2 tablespoons of ground flax mixed with 6 tablespoons/90mls warm water) 1/4 cup/60ml melted vegetable shortening or butter 2 cups/347g Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour (I used King Arthur) 2 tablespoons sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (helps with chew and binding) 2 capfuls of pure vanilla extract Whisk the milk, eggs and shortening together.
