Spooky Halloween Trees (Part 2)

Ok so yesterday when I made the Spooky Halloween Tree cookies for my Tricks & Treats workshop, I was NOT happy with them. The cookies were very crumbly and I figured that if the kids went to frost them they would all fall apart and I didn't want that to happen. So I had a couple boxes of brownie mix. I used both boxes and baked them in a half sheet pan for about 30 minutes. I chilled them to make them easier to cut.

At work I cut them into 3x2 rectangles.

After all the kids got their brownies, frosting and decorations I decorated a couple for the parents waiting in the lobby.

I am so glad that I found chocolate twizzlers at Target. They tasted so much better than the black licorice.



I think they came out cute and the frosting was very good! Some of the decorations were from Wilton. Most of the kids picked the Hallow Pumpkin Mix. We also used the 6 mix assortment.

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

I know that the themometer says we are still in the high 80's, but my brain says it is fall. I just whipped up some Pumpkin Spice Muffins for breakfast and they smell incredibly yummy!

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fresh nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
1/4 ginger
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
1/3 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray or you can use paper liners. I prefer the spray.

In a large bowl sift all of the dry ingredients and set aside.

In another large bowl, mix together the wet ingredients; sugars, pumpkin, melted butter, buttermilk and the eggs.

Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined, but do not over mix.

Spoon batter into muffin pan; an ice cream scoop works the best.

Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Turn the muffin out onto a cooling rack and let cool for a few minutes. Enjoy them plain, with butter or even a little sweetened cream cheese.

Asiago Sun-dried Tomato Bread

Makes One (1 1/2-pound) Loaf

1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) water
2 tablespoons (7/8 ounce) extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons Baker's Special Dry Milk or instant powdered milk
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups (13 ounces) King Arthur Unbleached Special Bread Flour
2 tablespoons (1/4 ounce) chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Asiago cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons instant yeast

Place all of the ingredients into the pan of your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Program the machine for the Basic setting, and press Start.

Check the dough's consistency about 7 minutes after the kneading cycle begins, adding additional water or flour to form a soft, smooth ball of dough.

Allow the machine to complete its cycle.

Cool the bread completely before serving.

I am making this to go along with some Minestrone Soup.

Spooky Halloween Trees

We are going to be decorating these cookies in my Tricks & Treats Worshop later today. I am baking them at home so they will have time to cool.


Cookie:
1 ½ cup AP Flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Frosting:
2 cups powdered sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter softened
1 tsp vanilla
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
3 or 4 tbs half and half

Decorations:
Black licorice twists (I found chocolate Twizzlers at Target), Halloween sprinkles and or colored sugar

Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

Combine ½ cup butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture. Beat until well mixed.

Divide dough in half. Shape each half into ball; flatten slightly. Wrap each in plastic food wrap; refrigerate until firm at least 2 hours or quick chill in the freezer.

Heat oven to 325. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, one-half at a time, (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to a 12x7 rectangle. Trim edges if necessary. Cut each rectangle in half lengthwise with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Make 5 crosswise cuts in each half, 2 inches apart, creating 12 (3x2 inch) rectangles. Place rectangles 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. (I like using parchment)

Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or just until set. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to wire cooling rack. Cool completely.

Combine all the frosting ingredients in a medium bowl, adding enough half and half for desired spreading consistency. Beat at low speed until well mixed.

Cut licorice twist into 3 inch lengths. Cut slits on 1 end of the licorice using a sharp knife or kitchen shears to within 1 inch of the other end to form tree with 3 or 4 branches. Carefully bend or peel apart branches.

Work with 2 or 3 cookies at a time so frosting doesn’t harden. Frost cookies; place licorice tree onto frosting. Sprinkle with Halloween sprinkles or colored sugars, if desired.

Cauldron Cups

I totally forgot to share what we made at my Tricks & Treats workshops last week.

12 foil cupcake liners

24 chocolate sandwich cookies (2 3/4 cups), crushed into crumbs
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted
1 cup milk
3/4 cup whipping cream
1 (3.3-ounce) package white chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix
10 drops green food color
1/2 cup real semi-sweet mini chocolate chips*
12 pretzel sticks

Line muffin cups with foil cupcake liners. Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter in medium bowl; mix well. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons into each cupcake liner. Press onto bottom and up sides of liner to form cauldron cups.


Combine milk, whipping cream, pudding mix, and food color in medium bowl. Beat at high speed 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips. Spoon filling into muffin cups. Refrigerate until set (at least 1 hour).

At serving time, place 1 pretzel stick into each cauldron for stirring spoon.

*Substitute creme de menth baking chips.
Recipe Tip; For easy cleanup, use a large plastic resealable food bag to mix the cookie crumbs and butter. Seal tightly; toss until mixed.

Bride of Frankenstein cake

I made this cute cake for Victoria's Halloween party.  It came out ok, I wasn't to happy with the hair, but I was running out of time.  I found the recipe in a couple different places, one was on the Wilton site and the other was on the Pillsbury site.  I used bits of each recipe, but the long loaf pan from Wilton would have made it a bit easier.




Dracula Cupcakes

Victoria helped pick out what kind of cupcakes for her Halloween Party.  I found these cute Dracula cupcakes on the Wilton site.  I couldn't follow the directions completely since I am missing a couple tips and was running out of time.

Cheesy Sausage Bites

I am also making these for our Adult Halloween Party tonight.  This makes 36 small bites.

8 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
3 cups Mozzarella Cheese
1 1/2 cups Cottage Cheese
3/4 pound of spicy pork sausage cooked, crumbled and drained

Preaheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl beat eggs, add flour, baking powder and salt.  Blend thoroughly.  Fold in remaining ingredients.  Pour into a greased 9x9 baking dish.  Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.  Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes.  Cut into small squares; serve warm or at room temp.

Ghiradelli Sinful Chocolate Truffles

1/4 cup heavy cream
16 oz Ghiradelli Bittersweet Chocolate (I used 1 1/2 bags of 60% cacao chips)
6 tbs unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/3 cup Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa

In a small saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate and butter. In a medium sized skillet, bring 1/2 inch of water to a slow simmer. Set the saucepan in the skillet over low heat. Stir mixture just until chocolate has completely melted. Remove from heat. Pour the chocolate mixture into a shallow bowl. Cool, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.

(I found it much easier to melt the chocolate and butter over a double boiler, when completely melted add the cream.)

Pour the cocoa into a pie plate. Line an airtight container with waxed paper. Dip a melon baller or small spoon into a glass of warm water and quickly scrape across the surface of the chilled truffle mixture to form a rough 1-inch ball. Drop the ball into the cocoa. Repeat with the remaining truffle mixture. Gently shake the pie plate to coat truffles evenly. Transfer truffles to the prepared container, separating layers with additional waxed paper. Cover tightly and refrigerate up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months.

I am not rolling them in the cocoa powder, I am going to roll them in Wilton's Halloween Nonpareils.  These are going to be a little treat at our Adult Halloween Party later tonight.

Rose' Sangria

I have made this in the past, but not since I started my Foodie Blog. I found the recipe in my Bobby Flay's Boy Gets Grill cookbook. This book is awesome!!

I will be making this for our Adult Halloween Party next Saturday. The original recipe serves 4 to 6, but I will be doubling in a couple times over.

1 bottle (750 ml) dry rose' (750 ml is equal to 4 cups just in case you need to double it is easier to figure it out in cups)

1 cup orange juice, preferably fresh
1/2 cup brandy
1/2 cup triple sec
1/4 cup simple syrup or more to taste
3 cups sliced oranges, lemons, limes, apples, blackberries or blueberries
Ice optional

Combine the wine, orange juice, brandy, triple sec, and simple syrup in a large pitcher. Taste for sweetness, adding more simple syrup if needed. Add half of the fruit and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.

When ready to serve, strain out the fruit that's been sitting in the pitcher and discard. Stir in the remaining fruit and serve the sangria straight up or over ice. I prefer it over ice.

Quick Ghost Cookies

We made these this evening in my Tricks & Treats Workshop.


1 pound white candy coating, coarsely chopped
1 package (1 pound) Nutter Butter peanut butter cookies
Mini chocolate chips

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating, stirring occasionally. Dip cookies into coating, covering completely. Place on waxed paper.
Brush ends with a pastry brush dipped in coating where fingers touched cookies. While coating is still warm, place two chips on each cookie for eyes. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.

Yield: about 3 dozen.


My notes: we only dipped one side to keep the mess to a minimum.

Challah

I have been spying this recipe on Recipezaar for months. I am attempting to make it this morning. I am not a good bread maker, so this looks good because the kneading is done in the bread machine.

7/8 cup water (searched online and 7/8th of a cup is 7 fluid ounces)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
milk, for brushing on the top (optional)
sesame seed (optional)

Place ingredients into the bread machine in that order or in the order specified by your bread machine.

Set the machine to DOUGH cycle, and start.

Remove dough from machine after FIRST rise.

Divide dough into three equal pieces.

Braid the dough, starting from the middle and tucking the ends under.

Place in a 9x5 inch greased loaf pan.

Brush it with some milk, and add some sesame seeds. (OPTIONAL).

Allow to rise till doubled in size (about an hour).

Bake at 350F for 35-45 minutes.

Bread is done when crust is golden brown, and hollow.

Jack O Lantern Jars

We made these Jack O Lantern jars at work. They are a really cute candy holder.

You'll Need:
canning jars or baby food jars
green acrylic paint
black craft foam sheets or black acrylic paint
craft glue or hot glue gun
green ribbon or raffia
orange candy.

How to Make It:Cover your work surface. Remove the lid from the jar and paint it with the green paint. Cut the face pieces from craft foam and attach them to the jar with craft glue. To make it even easier, we used sticky backed craft foam sheets to make the jack-o-lantern face. No glue needed!You can also paint the face on the jar.

Fill the jar with the orange candies all the way up to the top. Secure the dry painted lid on the top and tie the ribbon around the edges for an extra decorative touch.

For the faces I printed off about a dozen pumpkin carving patterns and the kids drew the faces on the black foam.

Heartwarming Chili

Here is what I am making for dinner. I found the recipe in my Taste of Home Heartwarming Soup magazine.

1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 cans (16 ounces each) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 medium green pepper
3 tablespoons chili powder

Basil Bread

I just put this in my bread machine.

1 1/3 cups water
2 tbs olive oil
1 1/3 tbs sugar
2/3 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp dried basil
3 cups bread flour
2 tsp bread machine yeast

Pasta Sausage Soup

Here is another tasty looking recipe from my Taste of Home magazine and will be dinner tonight.

1-1/2 pounds hot or sweet Italian sausage links
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, cut into strips
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
6 cups water
2 to 2-1/2 cups uncooked bow tie pasta
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Remove casings from sausage; cut into 1-in. pieces. In a Dutch oven, brown sausage over medium heat. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings.

Saute the onion, green pepper and garlic in drippings until tender.
Return sausages to the pan; stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.

Yield: 3 quarts

My notes/substitutions: Instead of water and bouillon granules I will be using chicken stock. Victoria chose to have it with small shells instead of bow ties. I think she is on a shell kick. Who am I to argue?

Hearty Turkey Vegetable Soup

I love Taste of Home special magazines. My current favorite is the Heartwarming Soups issue. One of the reasons that I love it is that there are pictures of every recipe. Yesterday I had a few recipes marked and I showed them to Victoria. She picked out the recipe for today. Normally she likes to read the ingredients first, but yesterday she saw the picture and said "That one!".

1 pound lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
2 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced
1 large carrot, cut into 1-inch julienne strips
3 cans (14 ounces each) reduced-sodium beef broth
1 jar (26 ounces) garden-style pasta sauce or meatless spaghetti sauce
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15-1/2 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 cup uncooked small shell pasta

In a Dutch oven coated with cooking spray, cook turkey and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add zucchini and carrot; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Stir in the broth, pasta sauce, beans, tomatoes, parsley, oregano, pepper and hot pepper sauce.

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Just before serving, stir in pasta.

Yield: 10 servings (3-3/4 quarts).

Broth, Water & Bouillon cube, or Stock?

Broth, Water & Bouillon cube, or Stock?


When a recipe calls for broth or water & bouillon cubes I think icky! To me broth..well it is just flavored water. What is worse than that? When a recipe calls for water & bouillon cubes or granules...to me it is just a little block of salt.


What do I use when a recipe calls for either of those? I use a stock from a box. I am picky and only use Kitchen Basic Stock. The stock tastes so much better and so flavorful.


Have you ever used it?
