You're crazy!! iT's probably the ONLY breakfast that's healthy and has taste.I ate the turkey sausage it's 280 calories and 6g of fat. MCdonalds Egg Mc Muffin 300 calories and 12g of fat. Egg Mc Muffin w/ sausage is 300 calories 23g of fat. Burger King Croissan'wich w/Sausage& Cheese 450 calories, 32g fat,Burger King Croissan'wich with Sausage, Egg & Cheese 510 calories, 36 fat. No comparing plus the DD flatbread egg white sandwich is more filling then a tiny mcmuffin!!!

truffles! or whipped ganache frosting for cakes/cupcakes... omg it's yummy

Brioche dough is THE BEST to use for yeast doughnuts. Since I have a bread maker, I let it mix up the dough for me. You can cut them up into squares and make them like beignets, or you can go the "round" route and cut them into the doughnut shape. Let them rise and fry! Yum-may!

Grilled Chocolate Sammies

In addition to the chocolate you need:
4 slices of good quality sourdough
1oz.or more unsalted butter

Chop the chocolate. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Coat one side of each slice with butter. Distribute the chocolate between two slices. Top with additional. Turn heat down to medium low. Cover and grill to golden brown on both sides and chocolate is melted. Climb into bed with sammies, bottle of wine, and honey pie.

The nuns' recipe my grandma got from the convent. Seriously - we make it every Xmas, and they're awesome.

This recipe from America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Country was in my inbox today. It's for chocolate ice cream, and you don't need a machine for it. It calls for 4 oz. of bittersweet chocolate, but you could melt the remaining 2 oz. into some sweetened condensed milk for a fudge sauce.

Now I have too many options! I am seriously considering the Martha Brownies and the flourless cake.

You can keep the ideas coming too, I will be baking Sunday or Monday.

Thanks everyone!

I'm planning on making Chocolate Raspberry Clafouttis this weekend, hope it turns out well. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Chocolate-Raspberry-Clafoutis-351830

I've only made doughnuts twice, but both times they turned out FANTASTIC! I used Alton Brown's recipe (a yeast dough) from a Good Eats he did on doughnuts. They were the best doughnuts I've ever had and were met with rave reviews.

It took me the better part of an entire morning to make them, but it really was worth the effort. (Lots of waiting for the dough to rise.) At the time I only had a tiny fry daddy deep fryer, so I could only cook one at a time, so that part took longer than it should've.

I don't really have any tips other than use chopsticks to flip them in the fryer. Oh, and eat them the same day they're made, as you can taste them getting 'stale' as the day wears on (we pretty much only ate doughnuts that day lol). Still delicious, but not as good as fresh from the fryer and still slightly warm! YUMMM!

the tasting menu at WD-50 blew my mind away. it opened a whole new world of textures and flavor combinations for me. i will agree not everything worked, but the ones they did pull off were spectacular. yes, a lot of it will end up being a stupid fab/trend, but i am excited about the new ground that is being explored here.

For the people interested in an update- I had my Porkapalooza weekend!

This is what I did: www.okinthemeantime.blogspot.com

Thanks for all the great ideas!

Delicious pancake recipe, with the best tangy ricotta flavor I've had yet, but I was disappointed they weren't fluffier with all those egg whites. Maybe I overworked the batter, but these weren't even half as thick as my usual buttermilk pancakes. the lemon curd was delicious though, and great on cold leftover pancakes.
