I love condiment packets

I admit - I am one of those people guilty of taking condiment packets from restaurants everytime we eat out. I guess a lot of people have developed this habit that they are now charging extra for every packet of ketchup, garlic butter, mayo etc etc...

The last time we were at Papa John's I got to take home an extra garlic butter dipping sauce, it lay hidden under the pile of ketchup packets until last thursday when I found a recipe for parmesan baked potatoes.

The recipe originally called for butter and minced garlic but having that extra garlic butter tub that I had cut the process short giving me more time to browse the net tee hee!

Garlic Parmesan Baked Potato

ingredients:
- 5 small potatoes (I choose small, long 'flat' potatoes)
- 4 cloves of garlic minced
- 3-4 tbsp melted butter
- 2-3 tbsp parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste

how to:
- boil the potatoes until tender
- cut in half lengthwise
- pour 3 tbsp of  melted butter in a baking pan and sprinkle the minced garlic and parmesan cheese on top, season with salt and pepper
- place potatoes skin side up on the butter parmesan mixture
-  brush the remaining tbsp of butter on top of the potatoes and sprinkle a bit more parmesan cheese
- bake 15-20 minutes in a 200 degree oven or until potato skins are golden brown


the perfect alternative to french fries!

dressing up desserts

I had just purchased a half gallon tub of ice cream and wanted to dress it up by making waffle cups. I knew it is made of the same batter as pancakes but without a waffle cone or cup maker I have a general idea on how I can make it into a basket shape and make it crispy. So I started by making pancake batter (again feeling lazy I used boxed mix) and thinned it bit with a little more milk. I cooked them as you would a pancake but since it was a thin batter you have to be careful in flipping it as it is more delicate.  When it has cooked I arranged them on an inverted slightly greased muffin pan then I bake them at 100 degrees until they were crispy - I did not want to bake them at higher temperature for fear of burning them so I baked at a lower temperature for longer time. dessert time!!!!

... I grew up in a country where Halloween isn't really celebrated with all the hoopla of jack-o-laterns, halloween parties and trick or treating... the highlight of my childhood halloween was a contest amongst us kids on who can make the biggest ball of wax from candle drippings and the occasional scary story... ...  6 Granny Smith apples 6 wooden sticks 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped 2 tablespoons water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
