Sweet 'n' Spicy Roasted Corn

(originally made 7/2011)

Corn is just rolling into the farms around here, and I grab 6 ears whenever I see it. I love doing the ears on the grill, and I shuck them and wrap them in foil. The butter mixture is exactly as the title states- sweet and spicy! A little too spicy for Tim, but Jake & I absolutely loved it. Super easy and delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple. Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper. Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears). Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy. The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese. I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size. I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time! ************************* Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon & Cheddar Omelette Bites Print With Image Without Image Author: Jolene's Recipe Journal Ingredients 4 large eggs 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 3T shredded cheddar cheese 1 slice cooked ba

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try. They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing. I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach. I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture. When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so. Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Olive Garden Fried Lasagna

On a recent trip to Olive Garden, I tried the Lasagna Fritta. Fried pasta and cheeses, with two fantastic sauces. Few chain restaurant dishes stick with me, but I had a hard time getting this one out of my mind. I decided I wanted to recreate it at home, but instead of an appetizer portion, I wanted dinner size. It's a little fidgety, but once you get an assembly line process going, it's pretty smooth. I used pre-shredded/grated cheeses, you are more than welcome to shred your own. I also used store bought marinara and alfredo, but it would be over-the-top fantastic with from-scratch sauces. This was a huge hit here. While it's not something that I'd make weekly, it was a fun way to present lasagna to my picky eater, who doesn't like a lot of red sauce. Since there are only 3 of us, I froze the remaining fried bundles in single serve portions. They can be heated from frozen, or defrosted in the fridge overnight. Enjoy! Fried Lasagna P
