apple-icious

I am always for the look out for simple recipes that I can make whenever a baking mood strikes. I love those kind that does not require you to make a trip to the grocery; does not need you to bring out the mixer or a couple of bowls and pans (easy clean-up); and can be whipped up and into the oven in 10 minutes or less.
This is such one recipe - easy and simple but oh so yummy!

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!!!!

caramel apples!!!

... 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
