“JUST ONE” OATMEAL COOKIE
Snack attack? Urgent Sweet tooth? Need a quick cup-of-coffee-partner? Whatever the need or whenever it rises here’s a fast treat that won’t have you battling a full cookie jar!
(And if you want a larger batch…ingredient amounts are below!)
1 teaspoon melted butter
1 1/2 teaspoon egg beaters or whipped regular egg
1 1/2 tablespoons oatmeal – Old-fashioned or Quick (Quick works best)
2 teaspoons Splenda Granular
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cinnamon
Drop of vanilla
.
Mix all ingredients well and drop on a cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. (Toaster oven work-out time, here!)
TO MAKE A WHOLE BATCH:
1/3 cup melted butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg OR 1/4 cup Egg Beaters
2/3 cup Whey Low Gold or Splenda Granular (or brown sugar if you can have it)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/3 cup oatmeal, Old-fashioned or Quick (Quick holds together better)
Raisins, chocolate chips, chopped nuts – optional
Mix all ingredients. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Make into 16 cookies (to use the stats above).
“JUST ONE” PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE
http://eatingwelllivingthin.wordpress.com/2010/01/21/cookie-emergency-heres-your-fix/
Next time you are in the need for a quick – and I mean QUICK – dessert from the oven, but don’t want a dozen laying in wait, this will be perfect. This is an old favorite…been around forever, but worth repeating.
I’ll give the recipe for the whole batch in parentheses , and they freeze great, so save yourself some effort!
But for a fast work-out of your toaster oven this can’t be beat!
~~~~
1 tablespoon peanut butter (1 cup)
1 tablespoon Splenda Granular or Whey Low Granular (1 cup)
1 teaspoon egg substitute (1 egg or 1/4 cup egg substitute)
One drop vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Combine peanut butter, sugar sub, egg, and vanilla in a small bowl. Drop dough by 1 tablespoons onto ungreased or parchment lined baking sheet. Crisscross with a fork dipped in Splenda. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Allow to cool for a couple minutes on baking sheet and then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
You can add chocolate chunks, extra peanuts, unsweetened coconut…anything, really. Or make the cookies very thin and spread sugar free jam on the bottoms so that you can sandwich them together. (OR…the possibilities are endless!…make an indentation and put 1/4 teaspoon sugar free jam in the well before baking.) Makes 1 cookie or 16 cookies using the larger ingredients.

In another station, we were discussing St. Paddy's recipes. Would anyone other than Ave be interested in my Irish Carbomb Cupcakes recipe? If so, I can post it here to share... |

Bueno jalapenos:

1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon (about 5 pieces)
1/2 tsp Chili powder
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp Cumin
12 large fresh jalapenos, about 1 lb, cut in half and seeded (I recommend wearing plastic gloves and washing hands IMMEDIATELY)

Preheat oven to 300F and spray a sheet pan with oil.
Add all ingredients but peppers and paprika and mix well to combine.
Place the peppers on the pan. Spoon the cheese mixture into the pepper halves, overfilling slightly.

Off topic as they say.
Thanks for noticing the date of when we joined up! I had no clue.
Wait here is something for us to celebrate with later.
thanks again.
Blueberry Ripple Yogurt Ice Cream
serves 10
Ingredients
300g (10oz) organic blueberries
125g (4oz) caster sugar
1 organic large egg
1 organic large eggs, yolks only
juice of 1 organic lemon
300g (10oz) full-fat organic Greek style yogurt
Place the blueberries in a pan with 25g (1oz) of the sugar and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir over a low heat for a minute until the sugar has dissolved, then turn the heat up and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook the blueberries for a further 3-5 minutes, until their skins have started to split and the liquid has turned purple. Remove from the heat and pour into a bowl to cool.
Whisk the whole egg, egg yolks, remaining sugar and 150g (5oz) of the full-fat yogurt together, then place in a small pan over a gentle heat. Cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens enough to cover the back of a spoon. Remove the pan from the heat and beat in all the remaining yogurt and the lemon juice.
Using a slotted spoon, add three quarters of the blueberries to the yogurt mixture and give it one stir before pouring the mixture into a 1 litre (1¾ pint) non-stick or silicone loaf tin. Freeze for at least 4 hours until firm. Allow to stand at room temperature for 45 minutes before turning out.
Serve topped with the reserved blueberries and their accompanying juice.

Food Wars: Star Wars vs. Star Trek
I am both a Trekkie and Wars-ie (not a real thing; nor should it be), and there's no way I'm picking sides on which franchise is better. I have loved and hated them both fairly equally. (However, it is possible I've hated Star Trek with a deeper enmity fueled by alcohol-saturated recaps, because: Enterprise.) But Star Trek has always been the sci-fi franchise with food porn in spades — until now.
With five television series, Star Trek has had considerable opportunities to showcase the food and how characters relate to it. Consider icoberry torte, a favorite of lead character Benjamin Sisko, often consumed with raktajino, aka Klingon coffee on Deep Space Nine. The Next Generation brought us "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." and Klingon gagh. Even the less svelte Original Series wasn't too gorged on its own scenery chewing to bring space food to life in the form of those weird food cubes and the bowl of plomeek (pronounced "PLOH-meek") soup the sex-starved Spock threw at Nurse Chapel.
{ here is the clip that was in this location:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2IJdfxWtPM }
All Star Wars has really cooked up is Luke whining at Yoda over gray bowls of gruel in Empire Strikes Back, and Luke whining at Uncle Owen over glasses of blue milk in A New Hope.
However, if The Force Awakens is anything to go by, the Star Wars franchise is about to explode with character-broadening gustatory delights — and it's about time, really. Not only did J.J. Abrams' franchise foray serve us up Rey's sublime puffer bread, but it also had me analyzing contents of Rey's fruit plate at Maz's cantina days after I saw the movie. (A fractal of romanesco cauliflower begging to be roasted with olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika was clearly in evidence, but whether Rey took a bite of a passionfruit, mangosteen, or something else entirely is yet to be fully explicated.)
via GIPHY http://giphy.com/gifs/star-wars-SLkwWfDWBzUwE?utm_source=iframe&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=tag_click
When food is showcased so beautifully in a non-food-centric movie, it deepens the characters in a way that wouldn't have been achieved if the scene was scrapped on the cutting room floor. After gasping at the sight and idea of a puff of bread blooming from powder and water, we see how homey and ritualistic Rey's meagre meal is for her. She might be starving in a wasteland, but she takes her time to cook and eat. She takes her food outside, sits down and, while eating, takes in the vast nothingness that is all around her. Later, Maz's crazy fruit bowl is clear evidence of her generosity and kindness, even if she is tough as nails and running a villainous cantina.
Abrams' introduction of food that dishes out such visual and auditory delights gives Star Wars fans every reason to hope for characters that are more fully rounded and realized than ever before. Let's hope every other director that follows him in this franchise reboot will take a page from his cookbook because I'm already hungry for it.

|
Even if you haven't seen the "The Force Awakens"yet — who are you? — you're pretty safe to keep reading. What follows is spoiler-free coverage that can only add to the magic of the franchise.
In the beginning of the film, after hours and hours of tireless scavenging, Rey receives but a quarter-portion of rations as her reward. She's incredulous but accepting of the tiny green puck because, really, what should she have expected? Jakku isn't known for being a particularly lavish place to live. Rey is lucky to have the means to exchange anything for sustenance, and she knows it. After a dirty look, she packs up her earnings and heads home for what will turn out to be a pretty spectacular meal.
It seems then that there might not be more to the rations because Star Wars has never really paid much attention to food — which is a shame because don't you just wonder if Chewbacca is a breakfast cookie kind of Wookie, or more of a chorizo burrito one? However, you're quite literally in for a treat with this particular scene, because space food is really given a chance to be the star. Rey places the strange puck into a dish with water, heats it gently, and poof: instant bread that you can eat with your face. No, really. It’s real, fresh-baked — perhaps, “fresh-poofed” — bread.
In a recent interview with MTV, VFX Supervisor Chris Corbould revealed that Rey’s instant bread was not only edible, but that it took his team three months to fully bake in terms of concept. It’s complicated, but the system of special effects worked together in realtime to create the illusion with absolutely no CGI finessing. What you see in the movie is exactly what the crew saw on set.
Unfortunately, instant food is beyond the grasp of us mere earthlings for now.

There's a link to a recipe on the official Star Wars website that's kinda sorta like Rey's bread here:
http://www.themarysue.com/reys-bread-at-home/
I understand the original could be eaten. Not that you'd want to. |

Harry Potter Butterbeer Poke Cake
1 hr, 45 Prep Time
30 minCook Time
2 hr, 15 Total Time
Yields 9x13-inch cake
Ingredients
Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
3 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp imitation butter extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk
½ cup cream soda
1 cup Heath Bits of Brickle Toffee Bits (not the ones with chocolate)
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
Frosting:
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup butterscotch instant pudding mix, dry
½ cup confectioners' sugar
3 tsp imitation butter extract
Toppings:
Butterscotch sauce or syrup
Sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium sized bowl and stir with a whisk until well mixed and smooth.
In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat together the eggs, oil, extracts, and buttermilk.
Beat in the dry ingredients and the cream soda, alternating between the two until batter is smooth. Mix in the toffee bits.
Pour batter into the prapared baking pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until top center of the cake springs back when touched. Allow to cool for 45 minutes.
Poke holes all over the cake by using the handle of a wooden spoon, pour sweetened condensed milk in the holes, making sure to cover the whole cake, use a rubber spatula to spread. Allow to set for 30 to 45 minutes.
Make frosting by combining all ingredients in a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachments and beat on medium-high for about 3-4 minutes until a light and fluffy frosting forms. Spread frosting onto the cake and finish with butterscotch sauce and sprinkles.
Notes
Cake should be stored in the fridge if not consuming within a few hours of frosting. If making cake ahead of time, I would recommend only doing up to the sweetened condensed milk portion of the recipe and then making and adding the frosting and toppingsee as close to serving as possible.
