Cocoa Cookie Butter Pizza Danish - 6/28/2015

Hello, everyone.

     I went to Trader Joe's today for some plain pizza dough for $1.19.  What did I do with it?  I made Cocoa Cookie Butter Pizza Danish.  I took about an half to one ounce of pizza dough and rolled it in flour.  After that, I worked the dough and made it into a 3 to 4 inch circle.  Then, I put a dollop of cocoa cookie butter on it and sprinkled black onyx chocolate sugar on it.  I baked it for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.  I took it out of the oven and placed a slice of fresh banana on it.  Here's the picture.

The banana looks better freshly sliced on than baked with the pizza danish.  Try it for yourself.  It's better to cook cheap than to buy it already made.  Also, I was called a chef by Belen DeLeon of KUSA Channel 9 in Denver, Co.

That's it for this post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Cornbread Croutons - 5/25/2015

Hello, everyone. Happy Memorial Day.

     I bought some cornbread last week from Colorado Smokehouse Catering and BBQ in Colorado Springs, Co.  I put the cornbread into the freezer overnight to harden up.  I then took it and cubed it. I melted honey butter in a frying pan and put the cornbread cubes in and fried on all sides.  It's actually good. If I left the cornbread out and it remained soft, it wouldn't work out.  Here's a picture of it.

You may want to add these to black eyed peas and rice.  That's all for this post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Corn Fritters From Colorado Smokehouse BBQ - 5/21/2015

Hello, everyone.  Last night after dinner, I went over to Colorado Smokehouse Catering & BBQ on N. Academy & Flintridge in Colorado Springs, CO.  I ordered corn fritters.  The manager said it would take a few minutes to make the batter.  Unfortunately, the eggs on hand to make the batter were frozen.  So, the manager went to the store and bought fresh eggs.  He came back and gave the eggs to the cook and made these corn fritters served with 100% honey and rolled them in powdered sugar.

They had just the right amount of corn in them. They were not too crunchy.  That's all for this post.  Until my next post, have a great day.

Does Your Coffee Taste Like Coffee? - 5/15/2015

Hello.  I went to Jack In The Box on Austin Bluffs and N. Academy Blvd. in Colorado Springs, Co. earlier this week for a morning cup of coffee. The coffee was in an air pot.  I poured some in and it tasted like brewed iced tea.   Needless to say that I was more than disappointed.  The young lady that was working the front counter put the brewed iced tea into the wrong air pot.  This was quickly remedied.  You may want to do a sniff test on your coffee to make sure that it's coffee the next time you go to Jack In The Box.

That's all for now. Until my next post, have a great day.

Mini Churro Soft Taco - 5/4/2015

Hello, everyone. I made a mini churro soft taco for my dessert tonight. It's the same ingredients as the Chocolate cream cheese quesadilla with cinnamon brown sugar finishing butter on the tortilla but I added 2.5 mini churros from Jack In The Box to make into a soft taco.  Here's a picture of the product before i folded it over.

Try resisting this.  That's all for this post.  Until my next post, have a good day and Happy Cinco De Mayo.
