Pizza Ring | Reni's Kitchen

Gambar
If you are having a few guests over and want a quick and easy appetizer, here is the perfect recipe! Pizza Ring Ingredients: 2 8 oz tubes of Pillsbury Crescent rolls 1/2 cup tomato sauce (either homemade, or jarred) 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (use more or less to your preference) 1 tbs garlic powder 1 tbs italian seasoning Pepperoni slices (optional) * add any pizza toppings - be creative! Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees 1. Line the crescent rolls in strips of two on a pizza stone (or baking sheet) - example below. 2. Spread a layer of sauce, then cheese. Top with pepperoni slices (I placed them on half of the ring only. 3. Fold over the edges to create the ring. Top with garlic powder and seasoning. 4. Bake in oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.* I have a gas oven which seems to bake a little bit quicker than electric ovens. * If crescents come out too doughy, try cooking for longer or raising the temperature of the oven to 450 degrees.

White Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake | Reni's Kitchen

Boy, have I been waiting to make this cheesecake. It has featured on the top of my bookmarks bar for many months now- though I love it so, I don't often make cheesecake, but I thought that it would be appropriate to make for National Cheesecake Day I find that the caramel isn't too difficult to make, but if you don't fancy it, you could top the cheesecake with shop-bought caramel, or one from another recipe. I considered using a different recipe, but the buttery richness of this one works so well. I also found that, despite my expectations of it firming up upon cooling, this caramel remained smooth and fluid and didn't really require reheating in the microwave oven. White Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake Ingredients: For the Crust: 180g digestives 7tbsp unsalted butter ½ tsp salt For the Filling: 225g white chocolate, chopped 120ml double cream 340g white chocolate, chopped into little chunks 3 x 225g packs of cream cheese 250g granulated sugar (1 1/4 cup) 5 eggs, beaten 1t

No-Bake Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars

I made these bars a couple of weeks ago and they were the absolute best. They will replace the bars I buy from the store. I shared with friends and family and they all loved them. I did cut down the sugar by about a 1/4 cup which doesn’t affect the consistency at all. I cut them and wrapped individually in foil and labelled. Put them in an airtight container and stored in the fridge. The last one was just as fresh as the first one. It also stopped me from eating them all at once..

Could Easter really have been a week ago? Time is flying like the wind! We had a wonderful long visit from my mother, and my brother. It was a whirlwind weekend but such fun to have little ones in the house. Just yesterday we finished off all of the leftovers ( and I sent some home with them! ). My husband announced last night that the 2 refrigerators are officially empty! I think that was a signal for baking to commence. I'm not a huge coconut fan, but he certainly loves it ( along with anything else containing sugar). And since I am going to the gym 4 days a week, I am perfectly happy to have sweets in the house that do not tempt me. This recipe makes a 9x13-inch pan of coconut pie bars. There are several advantages... Portion control, more servings than a traditional pie and no pie crust to make! Winner! Winner! Recipe >> Coconut Cream Pie Bars @ willowbirdbaking.com

I made this yesterday using Domata gluten free flour, fresh pineapple and 1/2 butter + 1/2 coconut oil. Wonderful! It was a little dry as gf flour tends to absorb more liquid.

Lemon Herb Roasted Potato Nuggets

These Lemon Herb Roasted Potato Nuggets are a terrific side dish with many meals like any roast chicken or lamb dinner or to serve with Greek Souvlaki. Lemon Herb Roasted Potato Nuggets Ingredients:     6- 8 large sized russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1½ to 2 inch chunks     juice of one lemon     ¼ to ⅓ cup olive oil (butter or other oil will work as well; a butter/olive oil combination is very good too)     ½ tsp kosher salt     ½ tsp cracked black pepper     1½ tbsp dried herbs, oregano, thyme and rosemary are good choices     1 whole garlic bulb broken into about 4 pieces (optional) Instructions  Parboil the potatoes in salted water for about 3-4 minutes, no longer.  Meanwhile in a 375 degree F oven, heat a baking pan of sufficient size to hold your potatoes without crowding them. A glass or metal pan is fine, as long as it is well heated beforehand. This will help to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan.  After parboiling, drain the potatoes and let them stand for 5

Big, Fat, Moist Brownies | Reni's Kitchen

Alright, so there's two camps when it comes to brownies: those who like theirs rich and fudgey, and those who like it more cake-like. I personally love a fudgier brownie, but these here fall somewhere in between, which makes them a good go-to brownie. These have a frosting, although you certainly don't need to use it. Actually, next time I make these I'll omit that part. They're so dense and rich, the frosting doesn't really add anything. Big, Fat, Moist Brownies Ingredients: 1 c butter (melted) 1 c flour 2 c sugar 3/4 c dutch-process cocoa powder 1/2 tsp salt 4 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract For the frosting : 1/2 c butter 3 1/2 c confectioner's sugar 1/4 c cocoa powder 1 egg 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (f) and grease a 9"x13" baking pan (I couldn't find mine, so used a 9"x9" and increased the baking time by 10 minutes).

Crockpot Brown Sugar Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Gambar
Made it yesterday and really had to improvise. We live quite far from a grocery store and it wasn’t until I’d already put the roast in the crockpot that I realized we had run out of two KEY ingredients: balsamic vinegar and corn starch (gasp!). But I was committed to trying with what we had on hand. I used red wine vinegar and flour instead, and added about 1/2 cup additional brown sugar to thicken the glaze. To make matters more challenging, our boiler went kaput … I was tempted to take a blow torch to the roast, but figured it wasn’t worth risking setting my house on fire! Although we didn’t get the crusty glaze I was hoping for, it turned out absolutely delicious. My family devoured the meal. The sage and the sweetness of the brown sugar balanced each other beautifully. I look forward to making it again as per instructed, but want to assure others out there that this one is a real winner … improvised ingredients, broken kitchen appliances and all!

German Apple Cake | Reni's Kitchen

Don't you love a moist, comforting dessert that tastes better the second and third day? Especially when the dessert makes enough for 12 people? A dessert that comes from years and years of tried and true baking with love in a Mother's kitchen? I adore my German apple cake with a light cream cheese frosting recipe just for all those reasons. Stuffed with apple slices, the cake tastes amazing. Cinnamon floats throughout as a mild but definitely present flavor and the cream cheese is not thick; just a thin coating, adding a delicious end touch. The recipe came from my baking friend Janeen's 90 year old mother and ever since the recipe has reached my kitchen (I have no idea how long ago that has been now), has continued in the tradition of being baked with love.

I am DYING for this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bomb recipe from The Domestic Rebel , which is a delightful delicious destination packed full with recipes and inspiration... If you love raw cookie dough, which I do, and chocolate (who doesn’t?), then this recipe is for you.

These were so delicious! My sweet-tooth of a husband practically gobbled down the entire pan. My favorite part was how quickly it all came together. I was craving something baked late one night and these took no time at all to whip up and throw in the oven. I only had dark brown sugar on hand, so I reduced it to 3/4 cup and I used 1 tsp vanilla + 1/2 tsp almond extract to bring out the banana flavor. I also added 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the batter and sprinkled a few more on top of the warm glaze... They’re moist, super flavourful and so easy to make. The brown sugar frosting is to die for!

Zucchini Crust Pizza | Reni's Kitchen

Zucchini crust works just like the cauliflower crust, only you pre-shred the zucchini raw, and drain out its excess liquid, whereas you mash the cauliflower after cooking it. If you have a food processor with a top shredding blade, assembling this crust is fast and easy. The whole pizza-making process is actually pretty quick. The result is a thinner crust than the cauliflower, with a nice chewiness. A wetter topping such as tomato sauce can make it a bit soggy, but tastes so good that I don’t mind. Pesto works really well too. I used some of the nettle pesto from my freezer on one pizza. Delicious. The pizza above has tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, extra parmesan, fresh yellow tomatoes added at the end, and a sauté of garlic, onion, Italian parsley, and king oyster mushrooms. Any mushrooms will do. About the crust proportions: You can really vary them, as long as there is enough egg to bind the other ingredients together, enough cheese to brown, and enough zucchini (with water squeez

Honey Garlic Pork Chops | Reni's Kitchen

One thing that I always enjoy grilling during the summer is honey garlic pork chops. This recipe uses boneless pork chops but you can use chops with the bone-in as well.

Made this for my last camping trip ans it was a hit! Even my picky 3yr old & 5yrold loved it. I have to admit I ate most of it myself. …cooking about another batch as I’m typing for another weekend camping trip.. Fully Loaded Baked Potato Salad Ingredients: 8 medium Russet Potatoes 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 package of bacon, cooked and crumbled 1 small onion, chopped Chives, to taste 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Salt and Pepper to taste Directions: 1. Wash and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Cover with water and boil until fork tender, about 20-25 minutes. Do not overcook! 2. Drain and cool the potatoes. I put them in a separate bowl and once they cooled enough I put them in the fridge to cool all the way. This gave them an excellent texture and prevented the dairy ingredients from getting hot or the cheese from melting. If you are serving this salad hot then you don’t need to cool the potatoes, just skip step 2! 3. Mix the mayo and sour cream together in
