Chonky Boys: The Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches that Scream Summer!

-
Image
Featuring my thick and nuggy Chonky Boy Chocolate Chip Cookies, these ice cream sandwiches are the stuff that summer dreams are made of.  If you've ever had the Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich at Disneyland , you are going to LOVE these!  These big and bold chocolate chip cookies are based on a recipe from my culinary school studies at Auguste Escoffier, but with a few modifications to give them that Jennuine touch.  They make the perfectas book for a fat slice of real vanilla bean ice cream.  And those mini chips?  You just gotta have that extra cronch! Thank goodness this recipe only makes 8 sandwiches, otherwise I would be eating them for breakfast lunch and dinner.  This way, my big family can help save me from my inner child diet-saboteur.   Print With Image Without Image Chonky Boy Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches Yield: 8 Author: Jenn Erickson Loaded with chocolate chips and buttery, brown-sugary vanilla flavor, these mall-sized cookie...

Washi Tape and the New Blogging Vernacular -- A Little Birdie Told Me No. 21

-


Welcome to 
"A Little Birdie Told Me..." Tuesday!
If you're here to share a craft, recipe or project post,
you'll find the linky and the specifics on how to 
join the party after the features below.

------------------------------------------------

Bloggers are dreamers and doers,
thinkers and makers
crafters and bakers

And this week, I discovered that
this community of innovators
is crafting a new lexicon as well...

------------------------------------------------

For example, Jocelyn of Inside BruCrew Life
tickled my "so cute it hurts" nerve with:

PUFFY HEART
AS IN
"I puffy heart anything coconut 
and these didn't disappoint!"

She was referring to her
 Coconut Cream Cheesecake Brownies
------------------------------------------------




Alison of Stuff & Nonsense
charmed me with

ROOTLED
AS IN
"Rootled through the cupboards
to be sure the necessary ingredients
and tools were close to hand"

------------------------------------------------

Christine of Christine & Co.
reminded me how much I love and love-to-say

WASHI TAPE
Say "Washi" ten times fast. It's fun!


Check out Christine's source for
unique Washi Tapes 

Did you know you can make jewelry with it?
------------------------------------------------

got all "old-school" on me by using the term

SILHOUETTE
AS IN
"A drawing consisting of the outline
of something, especially a human profile"
-- thefreedictionary.com


NOT
a popular crafting machine
You can read about her technique for

Vintage Folk Art Style Paper Mache Snowman Tutorial

With the Christmas tree curbside, and the ornaments all neatly packed away, I'm thankful for my small collection of winter decorations that can be left out a bit longer to grace my home with their snowy sparkle and winter whimsy. I would have loved to have had the time to share this sweet little tutorial earlier in the season, but the holidays were busy (as they always are).  Now that things have slowed down, this may be, perhaps the best time of all to fix yourself a mug of cocoa or coffee and enjoy the process of creating a vintage style paper mache snowman at your leisure.  He is sure to bring smiles to all that behold him, all winter long! This is the snowman that my 7-year old made. The real stick arms were her wonderful idea! This is a fun project t o do with children as well. The process is very simple , versatile, and inexpensive.  The fram e for the figure is ma de from aluminum foil which can be worked into the shape of characters for any occas...

Recipe: New World German Brown Bread -- "Squaw Bread"

-
Image
I recall, as a child, going to The Chart House restaurant and looking forward to the basket of freshly baked breads.  My favorite was always the dark brown, slightly sweet bread that the servers called "Squaw Bread".  I've heard that a similar bread is served at The Cheesecake Factory.  The name has gone out of fashion, since "squaw" is a derogatory term for a Native American woman.   The history of this bread can in fact trace its roots to Native American origins when German pioneers combined their traditional German Brown Bread recipe with ingredients available to them through trades with the native people during their westward travels. No matter how you slice it, this New World German Brown Bread is easy to bake and so wonderfully delicious to eat.   Print With Image Without Image New World German Brown Bread Yield: 1 large loaf Author: Jenn Erickson Prep time: 1 H & 50 M Cook time: 45 M Total time: 1 ...

How to Make Sea Salt Caramel Pecan Roll (Pecan Logs)

-
Image
My dad is a nut for caramel, so for Father's Day this year, I decided to come up with my own recipe for making the nostalgia-conjuring classic confection ~ The Pecan Log.   My recipe departs from the original with a few modern twists:  the caramel is made in the microwave* (in just 15 minutes); the marshmallow filling is lighter and less cloyingly sweet than the classic fondant; and the finished candy gets a light sprinkling with fine and flaky sea salt, making a for a sweet treat that is perfectly balanced. I'm pleased to have developed a recipe that comes out with professional and delicious results, and doesn't require the user to be an experienced candy-maker.  I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we have! Sea Salt Caramel Pecan Roll  Yield:  12 6" rolls Active Time:  30 minutes Total Time:  4 hours 12x12 pan (or rough equivalent) Parchment paper Plastic wrap or wax paper  Ruler or measuring tape Roll...
