Twice-baked potatoes, much like biscotti
require two – almost back to back – baking sessions. Thus, they are
“twice-baked”. The first baking session is to soften the potatoes;
you’ll need their centers to be soft enough to be easily scooped out. The second baking session is to warm the newly stuffed potatoes, crisp up their skins, and meld the magical cheeses.
I am seriously drooling....yes, they are that good!
For some reason during the holiday season my taste for decadent food goes up 100%. Shopping in the grocery store is a lot more fun, as all the yummy ingredients are placed at the end of the isles and somehow make their way into my cart! Costco....well forget about the list.... Haha, my son-in-law will stop right here! He is one who sticks to the list at Costco....come on, who sticks to the list? I like to take pictures of my overloaded cart and send to him, with my list in the foreground....hahaha!
Baking a homemade apple pie will make you feel like a kitchen champion, in that
really awesome ’50s housewife or grandma way. However baking this Caramel Apple
Streusel Pie will make you feel like a superhero. This pie is
outrageously good and puts all store-bought apple pies to shame. Yes, making homemade pie dough and peeling and slicing a bunch of
apples can be laborious but I promise you it is SO worth it. If you are looking to wow your friends and family this Holiday Season, this is the pie! The bonus your entire kitchen will smell like heaven on earth.
I seem to be on a soup and sandwich roll, so, here's one more before we jump into Christmas! I thought I had tried almost every combination of sandwich there is, but, when I came upon this at a restaurant.....OH MA GAWD is all I can say. This is one of those died and gone to heaven concoctions!! Every bite is a party in the mouth. This is by far the most superior sandwich I have ever tasted!
One more recipe to finish up those Thanksgiving leftovers. This is so yummy! If you do not have any stuffing left over, you can just make some "Stove Top"....yikes, did I say that!
Wee Bear just about flipped when I served him this for lunch! The components are all his favorites! Left over oven roasted turkey, my sausage stuffing and mayonnaise.
Thanksgiving is over and now we have all the delicious left overs! Over the next two days, I'm going to give you a delicious answer.....
