Nutella Melt

Leah Short — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 16:01:58 +0000

I love hot cocoa. I have it year round regardless of the temperature outside, but I love it most when it’s this time of year and freezing out. I get all cozy on my couch under my heated throw and wrap my hands around a big, warm mug of it. Add a good movie and we’re talking Best. Night. Ever. If you’re a fan of hot cocoa, then I’m about to be your best friend for introducing you to the Nutella Melt. The recipe sounds amazing already, but it is nothing compared to the taste. This is the most decadent and luxurious mug of cocoa you will ever drink. It has Nutella, so enough said there, but it’s also spiked with Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur), topped with homemade espresso whipped cream, and garnished with a sprinkling of coconut and hazelnuts. <>

Cinnamon Roll Quick Bread

Remember that Pumpkin Quick Bread a few posts back? This incredible Cinnamon Roll Quick Bread was the second flavor I made that same day. I mean when they say quick, they mean quick! This bread was easy, but required a bit more work than the pumpkin version. I had to get out the mixer and it was a bit more involved with the pecan-cinnamon swirl middle, but still a quick bread and very much worth it! Certainly faster than making homemade cinnamon rolls. I brought both breads to work and this one was by far the favorite. Which is funny because I liked the pumpkin best out of the oven, but this one proved to hold up and get better the next day. You can’t go wrong with a cinnamon roll bread complete with glaze!

Meatloaf Cupcakes

Ok yes, they’re quirky and some folks don’t like when food looks like other food, but that doesn’t bother me. I think these Meatloaf Cupcakes are so funny and every time I see them, I flash a silly grin. I had such a fun time in the kitchen making them. What’s not to love about a meatloaf base, mashed potatoes on top, plus bacon and chives? What’s great about this recipe is that it not only looks interesting, but it tastes absolutely fantastic! I will make this meatloaf again and again and again. I may not always pipe on potatoes and call them cupcakes, but this meatloaf recipe is a keeper!

Banana Bread with Chocolate Glaze

Oh hello there, perfect Banana Bread with Chocolate Glaze! Never had a slice of banana bread with chocolate glaze? You should! I think banana and chocolate go so well together. I love banana bread with chocolate chips or chocolate-dipped bananas or banana cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I don’t know what it is, but I love that sweet hit of chocolate to what can be not-so-sweet banana bread. I can’t believe it’s never crossed my mind to add a chocolate glaze to banana bread!

Shrimp Parma Rosa

I know you’re going to scan through this post and think, “why in the world are you blogging about a sauce mix packet?” Normally I wouldn’t. This meal would be filed away under “Things I eat, but don’t tell anyone because I’m a food blogger damnit!” Believe me, that is a very long list. Sometimes I crack myself up over the random stuff I eat. I’ve got a rep to uphold right? Yeah, no. One of the best things about making a meal is not only that you get to eat it, but the memory it brings back. In college, my roommate Carol and I thought we would be fancy pants and make a fabulous dinner. We stumbled on this Knorr Parma Rosa sauce mix and decided to serve it over pasta and add shrimp. Complete with crusty garlic bread, we pretty much thought we replicated fine dining. It makes us both chuckle to think back to how we thought we were the shiz making this. Funny thing, this Shrimp Parma Rosa is the shiz…still. I hadn’t made it in years, but was craving it and I texted Carol a pic of the packet and “look what I’m making for dinner!” Her response? “I make that all the time! I recommend adding 1/4 cup Parmesan.” Ah, some things never change…and I like it that way. Still fancy after all these years!
