Hi, here is another dessert recipe!

Creamy lemon squares

1/2 cup(s) (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1/2 cup(s) confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 large egg yolks
1 can(s) (14-ounce) sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup(s) fresh lemon juice (from about 3 lemons)

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

Directions

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter paper.
2.Make crust: Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Add flour, and mix on low just until combined. Press dough into the bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of prepared pan; prick all over with a fork. Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
3.Make filling: In a large bowl, whisk together yolks, condensed milk, and lemon juice until smooth. Pour over hot crust in pan; return to oven, and bake until filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
4.Refrigerate until filling is firm, about 2 hours or up to 3 days. Using paper overhang, lift cake onto a work surface; cut into 16 squares, and dust with confectioners sugar.

The recipe is from Delish.com

Oh I haven't anything lemon in ages :( Just realized that, though I wish I had some to pelt at my sisters :twisted:

Easy Slow Cooker Ribs

2-3 lbs pork ribs
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ Sauce
2 tsp. Garlic Poder
2 tsp. Onion Salt/Dried Onions
1 Tblsp. Brown Sugar

-Place Ribs in CrockPot/Slow Cooker, in a single layer if you can. If you can't wedge them in where you can.
- Top with the whole bottle of BBQ Sauce *Tip: I use a little water to get the last little bit out of the bottle.
- Add Spices and Brown Sugar. Add any others you like at this point as well.
-Put Cooker on 8-10 hour mode, and you're done. No stirring/flipping needed unless you had to make more than one layer. If you need to, rotate every several hours.

Good paired with Mashed Sweet Potatoes.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes

neither have I XD Gaia has becoming boring for me, plus all the ads and deals and ugh. Everything went down hill after the MTV crisis

a mango lassi recipe, how exciting! for once i'm sad that i don't have a blender.

i haven't been cooking much lately. i've been visiting my friend's a lot to watch the olympics (i don't have a tv). so, i've been eating lots of tasty food there, but nothing she or i cooked.

i did try that sweet and savory sausage 'casserole' in the slow cooker. it was quite tasty. it was a little on the sweet side, but that was exactly what i was in the mood for. the next time i make it, i think i'll omit the small amount of sugar, and add the apple later. after a few hours of cooking, the apples were mushy and the carrots were still a little crisp. i used spicy italian sausage, and i think that worked very well. a sweeter sausage might have made the entire dish too sweet.

later in the week i'm trying stuffed butternut squash with leftover pork and maple bacon. i made stuffed zucchini last fall, but i've never worked with butternut squash. any suggestions? thanks. ^_^

oh! and i made bread. i've never really done that before and i haven't baked much either. it turned out quite well and was lots of fun. you should all do it. i think i may have to make a few more loaves in different varieties.

the butternut squash sounds good, you'll have to let me know how it goes, I've never stuffed anything :/ isn't fresh bread the best? warm cinnamon and raisin bread is sooo good. I love the smell of the bread aisle in stores.
I haven't been cooking much either, lifes been too hellish lately :(

i finally got to baking the butternut squash. it was quite tasty. ^_^ it wasn't amazing, but it was still very good and a nice change of pace from what i usually cook.

i started by cutting it in half, buttering the exposed surfaces, and baking it for about half an hour. in the mean time, i cooked the bacon (maple, because that's what we had) and chopping the leftover pork chops and turnip. after i'd cooked the bacon, i sauteed the turnip in some of the leftover bacon fat, then threw in some bread crumbs, the pork, and bits of bacon. i baked it, covered, for another forty five minutes or so. if i did it again/the next time, i think i'd use an onion ( i have no idea why i didn't use one in the first place), and skip the pork. and i think i'd bake the squash longer initially. it was still rather crisp when i was digging out the seeds and the stuffing really doesn't need to cook.

i'll let you guys know how it goes the next time and post a recipe if it turns out well. ^_^

so, any good recipes for spagetti squash? ^_~

I wouldn't know about spaghetti squash, though the concept seems vaguely familiar...I just don't remember where I heard that. Darn.
I'm thinking about doing something really easy maybe tomorrow or sometime this week. Candied bacon. Found it here: How to Make Candied Bacon: 5 steps (with video) - wikiHow XD I can be unhealthy every once in a while, right? :D
I'm not entirely sure about what I want food wise at the moment. I would like to make a dish I ordered at Wegmans (much loved) it has butternut squash, spinach, dried cranberries and I think almonds...(it's been awhile since I had it last) but it was sooooo good. The squash was kind of velvety... everything just melted together so well

The Most Amazing Salad Ever

baby spinach
craisins
chopped pecans
blue cheese crumbles
strips of chicken
balsamic vinaigrette

This actually came as a kit with everything but the spinach. It's really good, but I can't remember the name of the company that makes it.

This is a fantastic idea! I hope I can convince a certain family member to give me their recipes to put up here! Either way, I plan on using loads of these tasty recipes.
