Living Insanity's Loving Food

  Oreo Truffles Crush 1 package of oreo cookies in the food processor.  Then add 1 package of softened cream cheese and blend until the mixture looks like mud.  Scoop 1 tablespoon of oreo mixture onto wax paper and pop in the freezer.  Roll into balls when they are frozen.  Freeze 10 minutes at least.  I froze mine over night.  Dip in melting chocolate.  I used Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers, which I melted over a double boiler.  I used a toothpick to dip each ball into the chocolate.  While the chocolate is still wet I put on holiday sprinkles.  I then froze everything again for the chocolate to set.  I am keeping my truffles in a foil lined holiday tin in the fridge.   Peppermint Blossoms Makes about 36 cookies 1/2   cup   unsalted butter   room temperature 3/4   cup   sugar 1   egg 1/2   teaspoon   pure peppermint extract 1   tablespoon   whole milk 1 1/4   cups   + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/8   teaspoon   salt 1/4   teaspoon   baking powder 1 10-   ounce   bag He

Restaurants in a lot of our counties have been set back to takeout only again.  This is the California Burrito from Sierra's Grill.  Where Adam and I had our first date!  This sucker is huge and heavy.    

I have never made sloppy joe before.  My mom never made it for me either.  It turned out awesome!  I did substitute ground beef for ground pork in the recipe .  I just didn't think pork sloppy joe sounded right.  I liked the pickled onion addition.  Do people ever add cheese to these?    

So we had a great pizza/happy hour place called Pub Dog.  There was a gas leak that blew up part of the shopping center and everything has been closed for over a year now.  This place popped up where Cheeburger Cheeburger used to be and I was eager to try the white pizza with arugula and prosciutto.  People had also raved about the onion rings so I grabbed those too.  This whole meal was a huge let down on a Friday night :(  I won't be back.    

I hardly get chicken from the meal delivery boxes.  They are usually good when I make them.  This recipe was great and I may try to make it on my own!  I don't even like tomatoes, but these were cooked down a lot.    

We celebrated a little late, but these were the softest most perfect devil's food cupcakes!    

A new bagel shop opened in Dobbin area.  I tried a salt bagel with ham, bacon, avocado, and mayo.  I wasn't as good as Uber bagel at the beach or Bagel Place in College Park.  It was salty and had a lot of bacon.  There wasn't a lot of avocado.  I'm used to so much avocado on my bagel sandwich at Bagel Bin that it squirts out everywhere!  I haven't been back, but I think I will try just a plan bagel with scallion cream cheese.  That is my order from Bagel Bin usually when I'm getting breakfast.  It will be a true comparison.
