The other day I had an inspiration… We have a mint plant that is growing like crazy, and I adore a little sprig of mint in my Iced Tea in the Summer time. So a recipe creation was in order… What about gelato, inspired by the flavors of good ol Southern iced tea? The experiment was quite a success – although next time I think I’ll add a bit of lemon zest to the mix to really capture a perfect iced tea. Go get the recipe over at Foodwhirl: Southern Mint Iced Tea Gelato.

How cool is this! Talk of Tomatoes shows off how she made homemade ‘pop-tart’ look-alikes! What a fun and clever idea. And so much better for you than the store bought ones, I’m sure (at least you should be able to pronounce all the ingredients!)
Janelle Says:
“I made pop-tarts today.” That wasn’t a sentence I thought I would say. I made pop-tarts from scratch!The crust was super easy to make, the longest stretch of ‘work’ was the rolling, measuring and cutting into proper rectangles. But then, the filling was super easy: I just used nutella, jam and a quick cinnamon blend.…

Today I’m over a Foodwhirl, posting my recipe for White Chocolate & Ginger granola bars.. Go check it out!
My husband and son eat a granola bar for breakfast almost daily, and while I’m always stocked on the store bought ones, sometimes I like to make them from scratch. It’s an easy process — very kid-helping-friendly, too. And it takes an hour at most from start to finish (including 25 minutes bake time)
The variations on these are endless. I actually made 3 different flavors in this batch, 1 Chocolate Chip, 1 White Chocolate, and 1 Ginger/White Chocolate, but the ones that…

Dabbled LOVES Hello Naomi (aka Naomi Henderson), a favorite cupcake maker from Down Under! (Read the Dabbled Interview with her)
We’ve features her fabulous work here before (here, and here), and she has graciously given us a tutorial on how to make some lovely V-day cupcakes.
See below for
- The Vanilla Cupcake recipe
- How to Decorate them
(a few translations from us Yanks, to the best of my ability: Icing Sugar = Powdered Sugar. Castor Sugar = a superfine sugar, which you can purchase in speciality stores here in the states, or make by pulsing regular sugar in a food processor or coffee grinder)
I’ve included…

Happy New Years Eve everyone! Hope everyone had a lovely 2009 and I can’t wait to see what 2010 will bring…
And don’t forget to soak your black eyed peas tonight, so you can make them for luck in the new year!*
I love Black Eyed Peas… they are healthy, tasty, and generally kid friendly… Growing up my mom made Hoppin’ John for New Years Day — Black Eyed Peas over rice, topped with onion. So I figured I’d share this VERY easy recipe with you for New Years Day. Plan ahead, because it takes an hour to cook. This recipe can…

So… I decided to make a FSM (Flying Spaghetti Monster) out of a radical combination: Spaghetti and meatballs. No, these aren’t just stacks of spaghetti, with meatballs on top, these are true meatball creatures… suitable for your own Flying Spaghetti Monster, or whatever you’d like to create!
I used a technique similar to the one I used for the Halloween Cephalopods (thanks to Filth Wizardry for the idea!).
Ingredients:
- Frozen Swedish Meatballs (I used the ones from Ikea), 2 per monster. (Defrosted)
- Thin Spaghetti, dry.
- Several tubular noodles (I had some elbows on hand, but this would probably work better with a larger…

This salad is one of my favorites for the Summer, when the cucumbers and tomatoes are in abundance, but it’s great anytime you can get the ingredients and need a reminder of summer! This is quick and versatile .. it can be done as a side salad, or modded to be a great vegetarian main dish. The key to this is my favorite secret ingredient, seasoned rice vinegar.
Easy Peasy Instructions:
Slice up:
Tomatoes (If not the season for fresh, I like to use grape tomatoes)
Onions (Sweet, like Vidalia)
Cucumber
Put in bowl, and pour on seasoned Rice Vinegar about half way up the vegetables.
Add…

Because I’m a nerd at heart, I tweeted the process of making a blueberry orange tart the other day. For those who happened to miss it on twitter, here is the transcript and the pics!
Note: All pictures taken on my blackberry, so quality is not so high, but you get the idea.
I used my basic blueberry pie recipe, but substituted orange zest & juice for the lemon. I also added slices of orange to the top which candied up nicely for a little different twist.
And instead of doing this in a pie pan, I used a tart pan (I love…
