This Bread Was Easy to Make And Tasted So Good Too. It Has A Crusty Outside And A Soft Inside. If You Like Beer Bread You Will Love This!

Here's What You Need:

3 Teaspoons Baking Powder

Loaf Pan

Here's What You Do:

Preheat Your Oven To 375 And Grease A Loaf Pan On The Bottom And Sides.

Sift The Flour, Sugar, Parmesan Cheese, Baking Powder And Salt Together Into A Large Bowl. Add The Egg And The Beer And Stir. The Beer Will Foam Up, It's Fine Just Give It A Second To Settle And Then Stir. Once You Have Everything Good And Wet Add The Cheddar Cheese Stir. Last Mix In 1/3 Cup Melted Butter, Scrape The Sides Of The Bowl And Make Sure You Have Everything Mixed Together.

It Will Not Look Like Traditional Bread Dough. It Will Be Very Wet And Look A Little Strange. That Means It's Perfect.

Now, Pour The Entire Dough Into The Greased Loaf Pan And Then Pour Half Of The Remaining Butter Over The Top Of Your Dough. Bake At 375 For 1 Hour. Then, Brush Generously The Top Of The Bread With Some Of The Remaining Melted Butter You Have And Bake For 15 More Minutes. After That, Remove From The Oven And Cool For 20 Minutes Before Removing For The Loaf Pan.

After It's Cooled, Slice And Serve With A Hearty Bowl Of Soup Or Chili!

Himalayan Salt Slab

noreply@blogger.com (WoWMoM) — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:58:00 +0000

Himalayan Natural Salt Crystal Cooking Plate

I Just Bought A Himalayan Salt Slab And I Am So Excited To Use It! I Got A Great Deal.

I Paid $24.95 At Marshall's And I Saw The Same Size Same Brand Stone Online For $58.95.

In Case You Don't Know About These Salt Slabs I Will Tell You All About Them.

Salt Brick-Plates Can Be Used To Cook, Chill And Serve. One Brick Three Uses!

First, Cooking With It - Warm Slowly In Either The Over Or On A Low Flame On Your Stove Top. Then Remove And Place On A Trivet Or Other Heat Safe Surface To Cook. Then You Can Use It For Serving And It Will Make A Great Conversation Piece.

Second, Chill Or Cure With It - Chill The Slab For Several Hours And Place Your Foods Onto The Chilled Slab And Watch It Slowly Cure Or Chill. When You Have Cured Or Chilled To Perfection Serve On The Slab For That Extra Wow And Create A Conversation.

Third, Serving With It - You Can Use This As A Regular Serving Platter. If You Have Soft Foods Like Cheese To Serve They Will Slowly Pick Up Some Of The Salt Flavor. If You Use It For Harder Foods Like Crackers They Will Look Awesome On The Slab But Will Not Pick Up Any Of The Flavoring.

When You Get Your Own There Will Be Instructions On Use And Care. They Are Super Simple And The Main Thing In The Instructions To Remember Is The Drying After Cleaning And Use. It MUST Be Dry Before You Heat Or Cool Again. Follow The Instructions And You Will Love Your Salt Brick-Plate!

Cream Cheese Lobster Balls

noreply@blogger.com (WoWMoM) — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:41:00 +0000

Cream Cheese Lobster Balls

These Things Are Great You Can Sub Almost Anything For The Lobster. Shrimp, Crab Or Lox Are Perfect. Leave It Out Completely If You Don't Like Seafood Or Add Something Like Ham For A Different Flavor All Together.

Here's What You Need:

3 Packages Cream Cheese (8 Ounce Blocks)

5 Thick Slices Bacon (Cooked Crispy And Crumbled)

1 Cup Lobster (Cooked And Crumbled)

1 Bunch Fresh Dill (Finely Chopped)

1/2 Cup Green Onions (Chopped)

1 Package Plain Panko Bread Crumbs

2 Tablespoons Granulated Garlic

2 Tablespoons Granulated Onion

2 Tablespoons Fresh Ground Peppercorns

Light Oil For Frying

Here's What You Do:

In A Large Bowl Add COLD Cream Cheese, Dill, Green Onions, Bacon And Lobster. Mix With A Hand Mixer On Low Just Until Mixed Together. This Will Be A Little Tough To Do Because The Cream Cheese Needs To Stay Cold. The Other Option Is To Mix It Room Temperature Soft And Then ReCool It After You Mix It Before You Go On To The Next Step.

In A Second Large Bowl Add The Granulated Garlic, Onion, Peppercorns And The Panko Bread Crumbs And Stir Well. At The Same Time Begin Heating You Oil.

With An Extra Small Cookie Dough Scooper, Scoop Heaping Portions Of The COLD Cream Cheese Mixture And Drop Them Into The Panko Crumbs 2-3 At A Time. Roll In The Crumbs And Then Pack The Balls Tight Like You Would A Snow Ball. Roll Them Again With Crumbs In Your Hand And Pack Them Tight.

Once The Oil Is Hot (At Least 375) Begin Placing The Balls IN The Hot Oil. It Should Only Take About 1-2 Minutes Total For Both Sides. As Soon As The Edges Begin To Look Golden Turn Them Over And Do The Same To The Other Side. As Soon As They Are Golden All Over, Really Just As Soon As They Look Golden Take Them Out Of The Oil To Cool. Do This Until You Have Used All The Cream Cheese Mixture.

Serve These Warm With My Lemon Grass Dill Dip. They Are A Perfect Combination And Your Family And Guests Will Love Them.

***I Have 2 Tips For You***

The Cream Cheese Must Be Cold So, If It's A Warm Day Or You Kitchen Gets Hot You Can Do 2 Things. 1 - Place The Bowl That Has The Cream Cheese Mixture Into A Larger Bowl Of Ice. 2 - Separate The Cream Cheese Mixture Into 2 Smaller Bowls Taking One Out Of The Refrigerator At A Time.

If You Find That Your Cream Cheese Balls Melt Or Do Not Brown Fast Enough You Can Fix Them. All You Do Is Take Them Out Of The Oil, Let Them Cool And Then Roll Them In The Crumbs Again, Pack Them Again, Be Sure The Oil Is Hot And Then Fry Them Again. There Is No Shame In Having To ReDo A few. I Have Done This Many Times And That Is Why I Know How To Tell You How To Fix It.

Lemon Grass Dill DIp

Here's What You Do:

In A Medium Bowl Mix Everything Together, Stir Until All The Dill And Lemon Grass Are Completely Incorporated. Store In An Air Tight Container In The Refrigerator. It Is Best Made At Least An Hour Ahead Of Time, EVen Better If You Can Make It The Night Before.

Serve As A Dip For Seafood, Chicken Or Any Finger Food You Like. I Served This With My Lobster Cream Cheese Balls And Grilled Artichokes.

Christmas Dinner - Bone In Prime Rib Roast

noreply@blogger.com (WoWMoM) — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 05:42:00 +0000

Christmas Dinner - Bone In Prime Rib Roast

This Is A Grown Up Christmas Dinner That Is Delicious And Is Sure To Get You At Least A Wow!

Here's What You Need:

1 Bone In Prime Rib Roast (4 1/2 - 5 Pounds)

2 Tablespoons Fresh Ground Peppercorns

2 Table Spoons Granulated Garlic

2 Tablespoons Granulated Onion

2 Tablespoons Smoked Sea Salt (Regular Is Ok Too)

1 Stem Rosemary

Baking Pan With Rack

Aluminum Foil

Here's What You Do:

Place The Prime Rib Roast In A Large Bowl. Then You Have 2 Options.

Option 1 - Pour 2 Cups Of Buttermilk Brine Over The Roast Covering The Entire Roast And Leave On The Counter Until It Reaches Room Temperature. When It Reaches Room Temperature Remove From Brine, Discard Brine, Rinse The Roast And Pat Dry. Place In Clean Large Bowl And Rub With Fresh Ground Peppercorns, Granulated Garlic, Granulated Onion And Smoked Sea Salt. Make Sure You Cover The Entire Roast, Top, Bottom And Sides. Cover And Leave On The Counter While The Oven Heats To Temperature.

Options 2 - In A Large Bowl Rub With Fresh Ground Peppercorns, Granulated Garlic, Granulated Onion And Smoked Sea Salt. Make Sure You Cover The Entire Roast, Top, Bottom And Sides. Cover And Leave On The Counter Until The Roast Reaches Room Temperature.

Heat Oven To 500 Degrees. Place The Roast Uncovered Fat Side Down On The Rack In The Baking Pan And Place In The Oven On The Bottom Rack For 30 Minutes. After 30 Minutes Place The Stem Of Rosemary On Top Of The Roast And Very Loosely Cover With Foil. Place Back Into The Oven At 500 Degrees For An Additional 15 Minutes Loosely Covered.

Now, This Is Very Important. After The 30 Minute + 15 Minute Cook Times Are Completed Turn The Oven Off And Leave The Roast Inside For An Additional 90 Minutes. DOD NOT OPEN OR PEAK!!! Only After 90 Minutes Check The Temperature Of The Largest Part Of The Roast If It Hits 140 You Are Ready, Almost.

Once You Reach 140 Degrees Remove The Roast, Leave It Covered And Let It Sit Of 20 Minutes. It Will Cook Just A Bit More And All The Juices Will Be Locked Inside And They Will Not Run Out When You Cut Into The Meat. After 20 Minutes Remove The Bones, Slice And Serve.

I Serve This With Potato Cakes, Creamed Spinach, Tomato Salad & Crusty Italian Bread.

Salted Caramels

Homemade Salted Caramels You Can Do This One Without A Candy Thermometer And I Will Share My Trick Of How With You. This Is A Recipe You Have To Watch The Entire Time. You Cannot Walk Away And Have It Turn Out Right. It Doesn't Take Too Long, It Just Needs Your Undivided Attention.

Here's What You Need:

1 Cup Heavy Cream

2 Teaspoons Course Sea Salt + More To Sprinkle On Top

1 1/2 Cups White Sugar

8 Tablespoons Real Butter

2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

1/4 Cup Light Corn Syrup

2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar

1 Tablespoon Real Vanilla Extract

8X8 Pan

Parchment Paper

Medium Heavy Bottom Sauce Pan

Small Bowl Of Ice Water

Here's What You Do:

In The Sauce Pan Heat While Continuously Stirring Cream, Butter, Vanilla, Vinegar And Corn Syrup Over Medium Heat Just Until It Begins To Boil. As Soon As It Begins To Boil Add Both Sugars And Bring Back To a Slow Boil.

Cook For At Least 15 Minutes Stirring Continuously. The Goal Is To Completely Melt All The Sugar And Combine All The Ingredients Together Smoothly. Do Not Over Boil. If The Temperature Seems To Be Rising Turn The Heat Down Just Slightly. Try Your Best To Keep The Temperature Constant.

After About 15 Minutes Stir In The Sea Salt And Then Test The Caramel By Taking A Teaspoon Of The Caramel And Dropping It The Bowl Of Ice Water, It Will Set Up From The Cold. If It Is The Consistency You Want Stop Cooking. If It Is Still Too Soft Continue To Cook And Test Until Your Test Results Are What You Want.

Once You Have The Caramel How You Want It Pour All The Caramel Into An 8X8 Pan Lined With Parchment Paper. Sprinkle With A Touch More Sea Salt And Cool For At Least 1 Hour (2 Is Even Better).

After It Has Cooled Remove The Caramel From The Pan Cut And Wrap. Cut With A Lightly Oiled Knife To Make Thing Easier.

You Could Cut Into Small Squares And Place In A Christmas Box For A Gift Or Cut Into Longer Thinner Pieces And Wrap Individually In Wax Paper Sealing Them With A Twist Like An Old Fashioned Candy Or Serve Them On A Christmas Plate For A Party.

In A Sealed Zip Top Bag Or Covered In You Refrigerator They Will Last A Couple Weeks, That Is If They Don't All Get Eaten Immediately.

For Some Extra Wow Try Topping Whit Colored Sea Salt To Match The Occasion

Or For Some EXTRA WOW WOW Sprinkle With A Little Red Diced Candied Chili Peppers (Just Chop Very Small, Cook In A Hot Pan With Enough Sugar To Coat And Caramelize The Diced Chilis Cool And Place 2-3 Pieces On The Cramel )***
