Miss Spaulding, that hot chocolate looks so good. aaand I love that it uses cayenne. I've heard of spicy hot chocolate recipes but i'm always too chicken. Thanks for giving your secret recipe out, I'm excited to give it a try!

Made this the other day. Pastry, cheesecake filling in the middle, and cinnamon and sugar on top.

Oh, great thread! Very Happy

I like making couscous sometimes. I love the taste. I will cut up some carrots and put those in while the water is boiling. I also like sprinkling pepper on when it is done. Smile

Here is an online recipe that I use:

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup couscous
2 3/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt and stir. Add couscous and remove from heat and allow to sit for about 5 minutes.

Couscous should be light and fluffy, not gummy. Be sure to allow the couscous to absorb the water.

You know what I'm looking for if anyone has a recipe?? A good banana pudding thingy. Not sure what it's called, but I LOVE it. probably my favorite dessert. But I rarely can find it.

Subject: Re: Now we're cooking! Thu Sep 12, 2013 4:23 pm

I just get an instant banana pudding mix make that; slice bananas and mix them in. Probably not what you were looking for though.

Kinda. It's like a pie, but with banana pudding and banana slices. Or those vanilla wafer things. I have no clue what it's called but I love it!

Subject: Re: Now we're cooking! Thu Sep 12, 2013 5:03 pm

Well how I make the pie is I make the instant banana pudding with less liquid to make it slightly thicker; add the sliced bananas; then put it in a gram cracker crust. But you could also make it like that and add the wafers instead of the crust. I guess just be creative. Very Happy

there are sometimes recipes on the boxes too.

I know what you're talking about. It's almost like a 'trifle' cake, but a banana pudding version. I believe it's vanilla pudding, banana slices, vanilla wafers, and whipped cream stacked in perfect layers. Perhaps not in that particular order, but I believe those are the ingredients.

One of those days where you quick cook everything you can get your hands on. I made a casserole dish that mimics cabbage rolls. (without the trouble of rolling cabbage leaves) Used the remaining cabbage in a spicy tomato bean soup. Also made a family favorite, pea salad. ♥ I'll be fed well for the next few days.

Time for a "whatever's in the fridge" omelette.

Though the tomatoes seem to be staging a great escape...

That was always Wednesday nights for us growing up. Razz

And yeah, your tomatoes are making a mad dash to freedom. Better eat 'em up quick.
