A GREAT After School Snack!

The picture is sideways, but it is AMAZING! For Christmas I got a creme brulee set with a torch. I sliced a banana, dipped it in sugar, and caramelized the tops with the torch. On top of the bananas I put a few scoops of cookies and cream ice cream...to quote Rachael Ray, "Delish!"

Emeril's Chocolate Meringue Pie

My sister wanted to have some meringue so we decided to find a recipe to make a pie with a meringue...It was really, really good! My meringue didn't work perfectly, but it was my first time to make one so I am cutting myself a little slack. You can find the recipe at foodnetwork.com

Quick and Easy from the TV

I was watching Rachael Ray one day and she was making Juevos Rancheros and well...it looked REALLY good so I attempted it. The first time I made it, it quickly became one of my favorites. In the picture below is a layered mix of...

  • 2 Corn Tortillas (one large would be sufficient)
  • Canned Pinto Beans
  • Cream-style corn
  • A fried egg
  • Lots of Cheddar cheese (thanks to my sister)
  • Left over chicken breast
  • Caramelized Onions
  • Sour Cream
  • Salsa

While there are lots of ingredients, I think it is a very comfort foody dish for me and I love it!
