Home Cookin’: Oreo Truffles

Monday, April 19th, 2010

These are simply sinful and super easy to make!

Oreo Truffles Recipe

1 (16 ounce) package OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided
1 (8 ounce) package Cream Cheese, softened
2 (8 ounce) packages Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted (higher quality works best)

Crush 9 cookies in food processor until finely smashed and set aside. Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs. Mix cream cheese with cookies. Roll the cookies into roughly 40 or so 1-inch balls.
Dip the balls in chocolate (higher quality chocolate tastes better). Place on wax paper and crumble cookies on top or drizzle white chocolate over top.
Refrigerate until firm. Store covered in fridge.

* I have to give credit to Amy for introducing me to this recipe and for making the truffles pictured above.

Fry em’ up hot: Homemade Potato Chips

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

We made Homemade Potato Chips both fried and baked last week. Which one do you think was better?

You’re so smart!

Fried Potato Chip Recipe from this cookbook: Jam it, Pickle it, Cure it and Other Cooking Projects

1 lb Russet Potatoes (about 3), scrubbed & dried
2-4 cups vegetable oil
Kosher Salt

Most important Tools: Food Mandolin & Frying Thermometer

Platform Mandolins range from $20-$200. They are a great investment for slicing vegetables, fruits, and other foods with expert precision and speed. We actually have a cheaper version and it works really well. Be careful not to slice your fingers off!
