Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Bars - Using Ritz! yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-06-16 | These taste like a candy bar with just the right amount of chocolate caramel flavour and crunchiness.

Grease a 9x13 pan and place a single layer of Ritz crackers along the bottom. Top with half of the fudge mixture. Top with more ritz crackers and then the remaining fudge mixture. Top with a third layer of crackers ---- NOTE I didn't do this in my video, I liked the idea of thinner bars. In a microwave safe bowl or in a double boiler over the stove, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter and melt them together. Stirring until smooth. Pour over the crackers and refrigerate until firm. This can be stored at room temperature.Recipe found here: bunsinmyoven.com/chocolate-peanut-butter-candy-barsMusic by Jason Shaw Audionautix.comINFO ABOUT ME :)My name is Tammy and I live in Northern Ontario Canada.

Lemon Shortbread Bars - with a surprising topping! yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-06-03 | These bars have a nice shortbread crust, a tangy lemon filling and a nice sweet sour cream based topping.⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ RECIPE BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️Found in Taste of Home Magazine.Music by Audionautix.comBase:1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour1/2 cup icing/confectioner's sugar1 teaspoon grated lemon zest1 teaspoon grated orange zest3/4 cup cold butter, cubedfilling:4 large eggs2 cups sugar1/3 cup lemon juice1/4 cup all-purpose flour2 teaspoons grated lemon zest2 teaspoons grated orange zest1 teaspoon baking powdertopping:2 cups sour cream1/3 cup sugar1/2 teaspoon vanilla extractDirections In a food processor, combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, and lemon and orange zest. Add butter; cover and process until mixture forms a ball.I found that my mixture would not come together very well, if this happens to you, add in a tablespoon or so of water or milk to help it along. Pat into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake until set and the edges are lightly browned, 12-14 minutes (20-25 if you are using a glass baking dish).In a large bowl, combine all the filling ingredients. Pour over hot crust. Bake until set and lightly browned, 14-16 minutes. Mine took closer to 25 minutes. I suggest you bake until filling is slightly jiggly, but mostly set. In a small bowl, combine topping ingredients. Spread over filling.Bake until topping is set, 7-9 minutes longer. I baked mine for about 20 minutes and the topping didn't change texture almost at all. I would suggest doing about 15 minutes and then take it out of the oven. Cool to room temperature and cover and Refrigerate overnight. Cut into bars just before serving.

Poppy Seed Cheese Bread yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-05-03 | Recipe found in a Taste of Home magazine.Ingredients1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast (I used INSTANT active dry yeast)2 teaspoons sugar1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)3/4 cup warm whole milk (110° to 115°)2 tablespoons shortening1 teaspoon salt2-1/4 to 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flourTOPPING:2 cups shredded cheddar cheese1 large egg1/3 cup whole milk1 teaspoon finely chopped onion (I used 4 large green onions finely chopped)Poppy seedsDirections1. If using active dry yeast, Dissolve yeast and sugar in water. Combine milk, shortening and salt; stir into yeast mixture. **NOTE** I used instant active dry yeast so I added the milk, water, yeast shortening and sugar all at once to the bowl without dissolving the yeast in the sugar water, because with instant active dry yeast you don't have to dissolve it ****Add enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.*** The "warm place" I use to let dough rise is my oven. I turn the oven on at 350F for about 2-3 minutes and then shut it off, leaving my oven light on. Another "warm place" that works well is your microwave. Jus put a cup of boiling water in the microwave with your dough bowl and it will make a cozy spot to rise as well ****2. Punch down dough; press into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.3. Preheat oven to 425°. Combine cheese, egg, milk and onion; spread over dough. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake 15-20 minutes (mine took about 30 because of my glass baking dish). Cut into squares; serve warm. Music by Audionautix.comINFO ABOUT ME :)My name is Tammy and I live in Northern Ontario Canada.

Coconut Raspberry Crumble Bars yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-04-26 | My parents have always tended a raspberry patch next to their house. I loved to pick and freeze them (and to eat them right there, right off the bushes, still warm from the sun). Since they passed away, we have sold the house I grew up in. It makes me sad to see the raspberries in my freezer as I know they were gathered during happier times and they will not be replaced this year.

Easter Kool-Aid Pie (but not really pie) yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-03-22 | This is a very light dessert that would be good after a big dinner. It is essentially Kool-Aid flavoured whipped cream. It is visually pleasing but not extraordinary.In my opinion, my Easter Cheesecake has flavour and a lovely presentation: youtube.com/watch?v=SBDo6-MEZ0wCrust:2 2/3 cups graham wafer crumbs1/2 cup butter melted (I used salted)Stir ingredients together until crumbs are moistened and press into the bottom and up sides of a springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator.Filling:4 envelopes of Kool-Aid (I used Cherry, Grape, Lemonade and Blue Raspberry)2 cans of sweetened condensed milk4 Cups of heavy whipping creamFor each layer, do the following:Stir together the Kool-Aid powder and 1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk until powder is dissolved. Whip 1 cup of whipped cream until stiff peaks form.Fold in the Kool-Aid mixture into the whipped cream. It is up to you if you add all of it, taste it and see what you think.Spoon the mixture into the springform pan. Refrigerate the layer while you prepare the next one. **NOTE** I added a bit of yellow paste food colour to the lemonade layer to achieve a brighter yellow colour.Once all four layers are in the pan, refrigerate for several hours before cutting into it.Keep refrigerated.This recipe is based on a couple of recipes I found on the internet with some variations.

Easter Peeps in Gelatine Dessert - I did it so you wont have to yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-03-18 | More Recipes using Peeps! : youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQhvHiBS6HlFBC0uQ6gpuYv_SaINMkQ8t&si=A-PklpMr9Kffs3fr4 cups clear liquid (I suggest white grape juice or soda)2 cans sweetened condensed milk2 cups boiling water2 cups cold water1 box cherry or strawberry Jell-O powder1 box blue raspberry Jell-O Powder5 tbsp of unsweetened gelatine powderPlace 2 cups of your clear liquid of choice in a large saucepan. Sprinkle 3 tbsp of gelatine powder over the liquid and allow it to absorb water until you don't see any more dry powder.Pour 2 cups of boiling clear liquid in the saucepan and stir until dissolved over low heat. I say boiling water in the video, but now that I think about it, I am recommending that you use something with more flavour (like white grape juice or sprite soda).Pour this into a Bundt pan (mine is a 12 cup pan) that has been lightly greased with cooking spray,.It should come to about halfway up the pan. Cool this (I put mine in the fridge) until the gelatin starts to gel.While you are waiting for the base layer to gel, prepare the next to layers.Once the clear layer is gelled enough, press the Peeps into the gelatin, upside down and facing outward. If they just float up to the surface, try pressing down again almost to the bottom, it they continue to pop up, put the clear gelatine back into the fridge to chill a bit more. Chill this completely until gelatine is well set, this won't take long once it has started to set.For the pink and blue layers, do the following:Combine a package of Jell-O with one tbsp of unflavoured gelatine.Add one cup of boiling water and stir until Jell-O is dissolved.Stir in one cup of cold water.Stir in one can of sweetened condensed milk.Repeat with other package of Jell-OAllow the mixtures to cool completely on the countertop (not fridge).Pour the blue layer over the clear layer and put it back into the fridge until set completely. Pour the pink layer over the blue layer and refrigerate until set.If your pink mixture has become set while you were waiting, microwave the mixture for just a few seconds at a time until liquid enough to pour. I recommend allowing the entire thing to chill for no more than a couple of hours before unmolding. I think this may keep the Peeps from getting super squishy, but I'm not sure about that. If you try this, let me know!INFO ABOUT ME :)My name is Tammy and I live in Northern Ontario Canada.

Garden Art Focaccia Bread yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-02-17 | ** Note ** I sprinkled mine with a bit of Italian seasoning at the same time I sprinked it with salt before baking. I omitted this in the narration. Some day I will make an entire video without forgetting something, promise. This is a very nice bread, best served warm from the oven with your favourite meal.Recipe from Taste of Home magazine.Music by audionautix.com1 pkg (1/4 oz) or 2 1/4 tsp of active dry yeast (I used instant active dry yeast. If you use regular active dry yeast follow the instructions below, if you are using the instant active dry yeast follow instructions in the video).1 1/4 cup warm water (divided if you are using non instant yeast)1 tbsp honey 3 cup all purpose flour1/4 cup plus 3 tbsp of olive oil (divided, which means you use it at different times in the recipe)3/4 tsp saltVeggies, herbs for decorating1 tsp flaky salt (optional)In a large bowl dissolve the active dry yeast in 1/2 cup of the warm water and honey. Let stand 5 minutes until foamy. Add flour 1/4 cup of the oil and the salt and the remaining 3/4 cup of the water.Beat in the flour, the dough will be wet and sticky,. Scrape the dough into a ball in the bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. I turn bring my oven up to the "warm" setting (170F) and then I shut it off and put the dough bowl in there. Works like a charm.Brush a baking dish with a tablespoon of the olive oil. I recommend a very large dish or a half sheet pan. Spread the dough in the bottom of the pan, lightly dampen you fingers with oil if they stick.Make dimpled indentations over the dough with your fingers. Spread the remaining 2 tbsp (or more if you like) over the dough.Decorate the dough as desired.I sprinkle mine with some sea salt and some dried Italian spice (I just remembered this as I am typing this!!!).Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until golden brown on the top.

Triple Layer Cherry Chocolate Chip Brownies yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-02-12 | Did you know I have a playlist of recipes that use maraschino cherries? Surprised? I knew you would be ;) youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQhvHiBS6HlHPVM79O-gxPaTEaw1RYWhgThese are SUPER sweet, like really sweet. Brownie layer (feel free to use a double batch of your favourite from scratch recipe)2- 19oz boxes of brownie mix (do not use the water/oil/eggs called for on the box) add the ingredients listed below instead.- 1/2 cup water- 1/2 cup vegetables oil- 2 large eggs- 2 cups of chocolate chips (I used one cup because my brownie mix was chocolate chunk and already had some in the mix)Cherry Buttercream layer1 cup butter at room temperature (I used salted, but original recipe calls for unsalted)3 1/2 cups powdered sugar1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used the mini chips)6 ounces maraschino cherries (this is most of a small jar) drain the cherries, save the juice5 tbsp cherry juice from jarGanache top layer2 cups white chocolate chips1/2 cup heavy whipping creamAdditional frosting or melted candy melts and sprinkles for decorations if desired.Mix the brownie mixes with the water, oil and eggs. Stir in chocolate chipsPour batter into a 9x13 or 8x10 inch baking dish. If you use the larger dish you will get thinner brownies. I say I used a 9x13 inch dish in the video, but I used an 8x10, sorry about that, I just realized this while I was typing this description.Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.Let brownies cool completely.Cream the powdered sugar and the butter together, add the cherries and the cherry juice and blend until light and fluffy. Stir in the chocolate chips.Spread this frosting over the cooled brownies, spread the frosting evenly and as level as you can, spreading right up to the edges of the pan otherwise the ganache will drip down the edges of the brownies. Put this in the fridge to chill.Put the chocolate chips and cream in a bowl and microwave for a minute or until cream gets hot. Stir until white chocolate chips are melted and smooth, if they won’t melt, but this back in the microwave for a few seconds and stir again.Pour the ganache over the frosting and chill until set. I found that the best way to get these cut evenly and cleanly is to freeze them until they are very cold. These are messy to cut as the ganache doesn’t set up firmly.Serves a whole bunch of people.Original recipe found here: deliciouslysprinkled.com/cherry-chocolate-chip-browniesMusic by: audionautix.comINFO ABOUT ME :)My name is Tammy and I live in Northern Ontario Canada.

Bacon Wrapped Potatoes yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-02-01 | These bacon wrapped potato wedges are fancy enough for a side dish for a fancy dinner or as a great appetizer. I would serve them with some ranch dressing or sour cream/chives mixture to dip in. Perfect for game day! This recipe makes about 32 of them.1.5 lbs of potatoes sliced into wedges.2 tbsp olive oil1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs.1/2 cup parmesan cheeseSalt, pepper, paprika or whatever or kind of seasoning you want to add (like Cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder etc).barbecue sauceSlice potatoes into wedges.Put them into a bowl and cover with boiling water. In my opinion, this is probably an unnecessary step, if you don't do this they will simply take a bit longer in the oven in my opinion,All them to sit in boiling water for 30 minutes. Drain out water and toss potatoes with olive oil until coated.Mix crumbs, cheese and spices together.Dip olive oil coated potato wedges in the crumbs, wrap with a slice of bacon and put them on a cookie sheet that has been greased or covered with foil to make clean up easier.Brush on some barbeque sauce.Bake at 350F for about 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and bacon is crisp.Music by Jason Shaw audionautix.comINFO ABOUT ME :)My name is Tammy and I live in a small town in Northeastern Ontario.

Unbelievably Easy Lemon or Orange Blender Pie yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-01-26 | The original recipe called for blending an entire lemon, peel and all to make this pie. This resulted in a very intense lemon flavour but it was full of bitter little bits of lemon peel/pith. It could be that the lemon I had was on the bitter side? I found it to be pretty much inedible and the whole pie went into the garbage. When I removed the peel it turned out much better and it is a recipe I will make again.Another alternative would be to zest the lemon and add that to the blend along with the peeled lemon chunks. Recipe:1 large lemon (I suggest peeled) or one large unpeeled orange (I used 2.5 small clementine oranges).I recommend that you zest the lemon first and then add this zest (no pith) to the blender. I didn't to this, but I will the next time. 1 1/4 cups white sugar1/2 cup butter melted4 large eggs.You can also add lemon or orange or vanilla extract for more flavour.I added a couple of drops of food colour so the photos would look nicer, but this is optional.Chop fruit into small pieces and remove all the seeds. Put all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until very smooth.Pour into a 9" unbaked pie shell and bake at 350 F for 45 minutes or until the center is set.Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until very cool.Dust with powdered sugar prior to serving.Store in the refrigerator.

Easy Coconut Macaroon Bars yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-01-20 | SO EASY! These have such simple ingredients but are delicious! The secret to these is in the greasing of the foil/parchment and the chilling. I pulled mine out of the pan with the foil, cut them into long strips (cut the foil too because it was stuck) turned the bar strips over and gently peeled off the foil. I then cut the strips into pieces. These are best stored in the refrigerator.1 can crescent roll dough1 can sweetened condensed milk2 tsp of almond extract (original recipe called for one, so that's your call)About 400g or 14oz of sweetened flaked coconut. Lined a 9x13" baking dish with foil or parchment. Grease generously.Combined the almond extract with the sweetened condensed milk.Sprinkle about half of the coconut in the bottom of the pan.Drizzle half of the sweetened condensed milk over the coconut.Unroll the crescent roll dough, pinch the seams together if they became completely separated during the unrolling.Place the crescent roll dough sheet over the coconut/sweetened condensed milk layer.Drizzle remaining sweetened condensed milk over the crescent roll dough and then sprinkle remaining coconut over the top.Bake at 350 F for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Coffee Caramel Cake yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2024-01-15 | Hello!! I am back! This is a nice moist cake.

Kind of Like Dutch Speculaas Cookies - Using my patterned rolling pin yoyomax12 - the diet free zone 2021-12-26 | These are a nice spiced cookie. Crisp and crunchy, they are perfect with a cup of tea. I try out my patterned rolling pin for the first time. 1 cup of butter1 cup of brown sugar2 eggs2 tsp grated orange zest1/2 cup finely ground almonds1 tbsp Molasses1 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp nutmeg1/2 tsp cloves1/4 tsp white pepper1/4 tsp ground ginger1/4 tsp ground cardamom3 1/2 cups flourCream together the sugar and butter.Blend in eggs, orange zest and ground almondsYou are supposed to mix all the spices and the baking powder with the flour and then add it to the wet ingredients. I blended in spices first. I truly don't think it makes a lick of difference in the outcome. Do what makes you happy ;)Roll out the dough to about 1/4 " thickness and roll again with patterned rolling pin or just cut out shapes with a regular cookie cutter. Transfer to a greased or silicone or parchment covered cookie sheet and bake at 350F for about 10 minutes or until the edges are light brown. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.Baking time for cookies varies HUGELY depending on the type of cookie sheet you have. A dark cookie sheet with no silicone mat may mean your cookies will be done in 6-7 minutes. I use an insulated cookie sheet with a silicone mat and mine took closer to 14 minutes. Regardless, cookies need to be babysat while baking. Set your timer for 6 minutes and check them then. Don't leave the kitchen to check on the laundry, you will forget them and they will overbake (maybe that's just me........)This recipe found in a cookie magazine.INFO ABOUT ME :)My name is Tammy and I live in Northern Ontario Canada.

I recommend lining the pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper (lightly sprayed with cooking spray).I a large microwave safe bowl heat chips and butter at 50% power for 1 minute and then 20 second intervals after that until melted. Stir until smooth. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and then cook in the microwave on high for 1 minute.Stir in marshmallow creme and chopped candy bars.Spread into the prepared pan being careful to not disturb the bottom layer of peanuts.Sprinkle with remaining peanuts. Using a piece of parchment paper, gently press down to make sure the peanuts are stuck to the filling mixture. Refrigerate until set. **Note here where I live, dry roasted peanuts come as unsalted or "lightly spiced" . You could use regular salted peanuts instead of the dry roasted ones or just sprinkle both peanut layers with about 1/2 tsp each.
