These are authentic Russian piroshki filled with ground beef and onion, seasoned with dill weed and deep fried. You could also add a little cheese in the filling as you are making them. They also may be baked.
More suited to a cocktail party than a baseball game, this riff on Cracker Jack by Atlanta pastry chef Taria Camerino is sweetened with agave nectar and spiked with tequila. Slow-baking turns the popcorn-nut mix fabulously crunchy.
These couldn't have been easier and the results were delicious. I added some green pepper for color and flavor and I think mushrooms would also be good.
A low-profile pie pastry shell, spread with jam and filled with a thin layer of almond-enriched sponge cake, known as frangipane, is the traditional baked English dessert known as a Bakewell Tart.
This is my personal rendition on a favorite from Quebec. The addition of pumpkin to ordinary mashed potatoes gives them an nice earthiness that goes well with roasted poultry or other autumnal fare. I have not tried it with canned pumpkin but will experiment eventually. Though I don't cook much with butter, you should feel free to add some more to suit your taste.
This No-Bake Strawberry Icebox Cake is heavenly. The “cake” is really graham crackers that have gotten soft thanks to the whipped topping and strawberries.
With this Bacon and Egg Grilled Cheese with Caramelized Onions and Apples, I might have gone a little overboard but believe me when I tell you this is the most fantastic, indulgent, and amazing combination to ever come across a grilled cheese sandwich.
