Skillet-cooked macaroni and cheese – a kitchen hit

Oven heating: Up to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle the crumbs: In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (I use this one), melt two tablespoons of butter over medium heat and add the breadcrumbs. Dip the crumbs in the butter, stir, until golden brown. Season with a little salt and scrape the crumbs into a bowl to set aside. Swipe the pan to clean it, if you like. No one will notice if the crumb ends up in the sauce, though. Toss your pasta: Place the uncooked pasta in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Knead for 10 minutes and take it … Read more

Incredible Arancini Recipe – Little Yum

This is a recipe you make once a year. I first made arancini a few years ago for a holiday dinner party, and now I’ve thought about it again, and made it again, every year since. Arancini is an Italian dish of creamy risotto balls topped with mozzarella cheese and fried to a golden filling. Guys, this is not a functional diet. This is not a quick, everyday dinner. This is the opposite of that. First we make a risotto (which is a concern in itself) and then we wrap it with mozzarella cheese, wrap it, fry it, and cook … Read more

My sister-in-law brought this stuffing to the family for Thanksgiving, and I’m not kidding, no one could talk about it. It’s the best stuffing EVER. The Best Bread to Use in a Slow Cooker I have found that the best bread is thick, firm sandwich bread. I use the Grandma Sycamore brand. One loaf (17 slices) is the perfect amount for this recipe.

Seasonal Mix: If you don’t have a good seasoning mix, or if you’re not sure if the one you have will be good here, simply sprinkle your salmon with a teaspoon of coarse kosher salt, along with onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.

Avocado Cucumber Salsa: I love this salmon with a sweet and tangy avocado salsa! Mix 1 avocado (chopped), half a cucumber (chopped), a pinch of chopped cilantro, a … Read more

glazed apple cider donut cake – hit kitchen

It’s time to admit it! As someone who has more ideas than I can fit into three cookbooks, one audiobook, and even 18 years of history on this website, sometimes when I want to complain about something food-related but it’s not the time or place, I put it in a little document called “rants” full of frustration , you only have my permission to posthumously publish. But I can’t write a headline for this cake without first owning up to #23 on the list in advance: “Fake apple cider cakes.” That raises the questions: Who hurt you, Deb? What gives? … Read more
