Browning vs Burning
Even if a recipe calls for browning in olive oil, I usually substitue a little canola oil which has a higher burning point than olive oil. Therefore when browning vegetables or meats, I have a better control of my cooking.
Burger King Burger Shots
I am not a fan of BK - nothing compares to McD's fries. What is that coating BK puts on theirs?! The name Burger Shot is weird. It sounds like it should be served at a college bar along with Jello shots and Kamikazes.

Last bite on earth:

Here are a couple to try:
Lazy Gal's Blueberry Crostata
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
2 pints of blueberries
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
milk
raw or sprinkling sugar
vanilla ice cream
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Unfold the pastry and roll out to about a 12 inch x 12 inch square. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. In a large bowl, combine blueberries with sugar, flour and cinnamon. Mound berry mixture in center of the pastry. Fold edges over of pastry over berries, pleating to make a circle. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until crust is golden and the berries begin to release their juice. Let cool for 5 - 10 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Easy Chocolate Mousse
I always double this recipe. Serve in mini phyllo tarts or chocolate cups purchased at grocery store.
1 teaspoon gelatin powder, unsweetened
1 tablespoon cold water
2 tablespoons hot water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, Penzey's Natural Process Cocoa
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or other flavoring
In small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 1 minute to soften. Add hot water; whisk until gelatin is completely dissolved and mixture is clear. Cool slightly.
Stir together sugar and cocoa in large bowl; add whipping cream and vanilla. Beat on medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bottom of bowl occasionally, until mixture is stiff. Pour in gelatin mixture; beat until well blended. Spoon into serving dishes.
Refrigerate about 30 minutes before serving.
