Yaaaay~! Now I can make gingerbread holiday shape cookies for my friend's Christmas party! c: Now, for the hard part: Rooting through my whole house just to find my container of cookie cutters, hee hee. ;p

I have my very own recipe for banana sticky bread that I just wanna put out there for everyone to enjoy. <3 Now, this isn't a sticky bun. It is a sticky bread, because it comes out fairly moist, and a little bit stickier than your typical banana bread. Moist Banana Bread 1 1/2 cups flour...

Does anyone wanna try this recipe out? Every time I've made it, everyone seems to like it, even if they're not cheesecake fans. c: The picture below is the one I actually made for the first time, and it was absolutely delicious. <3 PLEASE READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE ACTUALLY STARTING TO MAKE THE...

I say Robert Irvine or Anne Burrell. :)

The easiest way to remember the 5 mother sauces is this anagram: B E T H V Béchamel, Espagnole, Tomato, Hollandaise, and Velouté. Hope that helps some of you! x3

If you want to go through the trouble, you can make a béchamel (white sauce) and add cheddar cheese. Just keep whisking until it turns into a sauce. :) I don't have an accurate recipe, but I've made béchamel cheese sauces plenty of times. You should be able to find a simple one on the internet...

I don't know why, but I woke up from a nap with the sudden urge to eat pretzels and some sweets, when I randomly came up with this idea. I wanna try and make bread pudding with soft pretzels! :lol: I'm thinking with my stomach, lol. :heart: Since I like Auntie Anne's cinnamon & sugar pretzels...

Try using stainless steel knives when cutting them, and brush (NOT soak/drench) them with some lemon juice to prevent oxidization. :)

Okay well, does anyone have a homemade banana pudding recipe, then? (I think some recipes have gelatin in them; give me some w/o gelatin, please? :) ) I like doing as many things from scratch as I can. :)

Okay, so I love bananas, and I love banana flavored things, so I thought... Why not make banana cream pie? :) My best friend asked me what to get for it, and I told him to get me a pre-baked graham cracker crust, about 4 bananas (he got me 5), some Reddi Whip, and I already have basic baking...

Aww, now here I was excited to make some pan-fried pizza, lol. xD

Oh, yeah. Using a rack keeps the meat from touching the pan, so of course you wouldn't get much cooked bits on the pan.

Hm... Maybe it was because the skin wasn't seared? Seared skin usually sticks on pans, and you can deglaze it with some cooking wine to make a flavorable, reduction gravy. What did you use to flavor your turkey? My father and I rubbed some butter on it, and we added garlic, onion powder, salt...
