"Blackberry Pie Bars"

"Blackberry Pie Bars"

Ingredients:
Crust and Topping
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled

Fruit Filling
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup flour
pinch salt
zest of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp almond extract
2 (16-oz) packages frozen blackberries, thawed and drained

Directions:
To make the crust and topping, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9X13 inch baking pan.

Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to mix. Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes, and add to the flour mixture. Process until the butter is evenly distributed but the mixture is still crumbly, 30-60 seconds.

Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the mixture to use as the topping. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the pan, and bake 12-15 minutes. Cool for at least 10 minutes.

To make the filling, whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then add the sugar, sour cream, flour, salt, lemon zest, and almond extract. Gently fold in the berries and spoon the mixture over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining flour mixture evenly over the filling, and bake 45 to 55 minutes.

Cool at least 1 hour before cutting into bars, or scoop out of the pan to serve cobbler-style.

Chile Verde Chicken Enchiladas

Chile Verde Chicken Enchiladas

AUTHOR: Danielle Walker - AgainstAllGrain.com

Ingredients:

For the chicken

• 1 lb. chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons ghee, grassfed butter, or olive oil
• ¼ yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

For the sauce

• 1.5 lb. tomatillos, husked and rinsed
• 1 Serrano chili
• 1 small Poblano pepper (roasted, then seeds and skin removed)
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• ⅛ cup ghee, grassfed butter, or olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sea salt

For the enchiladas

• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 cup shredded raw grassfed cheese (I prefer pepperjack or jack)
• 8-10 Grain-free tortillas
• ½ cup cashew sour cream
• ½ cup crumbled Queso Fresco

Instructions:

For the chicken

1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a deep skillet. Saute onions and garlic until soft.
2. Add the chicken breasts seasoned with 1 teaspoon of salt, browning each piece on both sides.
3. Set aside until sauce is finished.

For the sauce

1. In a saucepan, combine the tomatillos and Serrano chilies with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook for 15 minutes.
2. Roast the Poblano chili under the broiler and turn until all sides are blackened. Remove from oven and place in a plastic bag for 15 minutes (the steam in the bag will help to remove the skin). Remove the chili from the bag and peel the skin off. Cut it in half, and remove all of the seeds. Place the chili in a food processor.
3. Drain the tomatillos, garlic, and chilies and add to a food processor. Process until a smooth sauce forms.
4. Heat the oil in the saucepan until smoking. Quickly add the tomatillo sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce bubbles. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, about 5 minutes more. Add the 1 Tbs. salt.
5. Add the chicken to the sauce and simmer for 45 minutes until it is cooked through.
6. Remove chicken and shred on a cutting board.
7. Remove 1 cup of the sauce and reserve on the side.
8. Add the chicken back to the sauce and adjust seasonings to your liking. Leave on low while you assemble the enchiladas.

For the enchiladas

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture and a pinch of cheese. Roll up and carefully flip the roll over so the seam is down.
3. Place into a greased casserole dish. Continue with the remaining tortillas, placing them close together in the dish. If you have extra chicken or broken tortillas, you can use them to fill in the sides of the dish.
4. Top with the reserved sauce and remainder of the cheese.
5. Bake the enchiladas for 15 minutes and all the cheese on top is melted.
6. Serve immediately topped with cashew sour cream and a sprinkle of Queso Fresco.

Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Dream Bars

Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Dream Bars
adapted from here 

1 cup melted butter 

1 cup brown sugar (I used Dark brown sugar)

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 1/4 cups Quick Cooking oatmeal (NOT instant)

1 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/2  cup peanut butter (I used creamy)

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 King size Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup candy bars, roughly chopped
1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
 

Preheat oven to 350.
Line a 9×13 pan with tin foil and spray lighlty with PAM. 

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together melted butter, sugar, soda, oatmeal, flour & salt until it’s crumbly.

Set aside about 1 cup or a little more.
Press the rest of the crust into prepared pan. Bake crust for 10 minutes.

While crust is cooking, in a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk.
Once crust has baked, evenly pour and spread peanut butter filling over the baked crust.Be gentle so you don’t pull up the warm crust while you spread the filling.  

Evenly sprinkle the reserved crumbs on top of the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk mixture. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle the chopped candy bars and chocolate chips evenly over the top. Return to oven to bake for another 5-10 minutes or until topping is light golden brown and candy bars/chips are melting.
Allow to cool to make cutting and serving easier.  

Here are the 10 most useful shortcuts that will help you type faster using the on-screen keyboard of your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. The screenshots have been updated for iOS 7.

Tip #1: If you want to type special characters with accent marks (like the letters à or è), simply tap and hold the corresponding alphabet key for a while and it will pop-up a list of related accented characters for you to choose from. Don’t release the key before making a selection else the choices will disappear.





Tip #2: When you are done typing a sentence, double-tap the space bar on the keyboard and it will automatically insert a dot (or period) followed by a space. The next alphabet that you type will be written in uppercase without you having to press the Shift key.

Tip #3: The iOS keyboard is pretty smart at adding apostrophes. For instance, if you need to type “doesn’t”, just forget the apostrophe and quickly type “doesnt” – the keyboard will automatically insert the apostrophe at the appropriate place. You can also press and hold the comma key to get the apostrophe without switching to the numeric keyboard.






Tip #4: The numeric keyboard (.?123) on your iOS device shows the dollar ($) symbol by default. However, if you need to type the Pound or the Euro currency symbol, just hold the $ key and you’ll see a long list of alternative currency symbols.





Tip #5: If you want to change the style of quotation marks or need to use a longer dash punctuation mark instead of the default hyphen, press and hold the corresponding key.  For typing the degree symbol in your email message, switch to the numeric keyboard and hold the ’0′ key for a while.

Tip #6: Typing the whole sentence in capital letters is often considered rude but there can be instances where you may have to type a word or two in uppercase.

In the default setting, you’ll to have to tap the Shift key after typing every single character or you can “Enable Caps Lock” under Settings –> General –> Keyboard and then double-tap the shift key to turn it into a Caps lock key. They will stay dark until you press the key again.



Tip #7: While you are inside the Safari browser, type only the domain name and then press and hold the dot (.) key. It will offer you an option to add popular domain extensions (or TLD) like .com, .org or .net to your web address with a tap.

Tip #8: You can also use the dot key in the Mail app of your iPhone or iPad to type email addresses quickly. While typing an email address in Mail, press and hold the dot (.) key and you’ll get a list of domain extension to auto-complete your email address.



Tip #9: You can split the iPad keyboard into two and type faster with both your hands while holding the device. While the on-screen keyboard is visible, press and hold the keyboard icon in the lower right and choose the Split option. If the option isn’t available on your iPad, go to Settings -> General -> Keyboard and toggle the Split Keyboard option.

Tip #10: Here’s another useful but undocumented keyboard trick that will help you quickly switch between numerical (123) and alphabetical (ABC) keyboards on your iOS device.

Let’s say you are typing a document and need to insert an email address in your text. Now the “@” symbol is not available on the alphabetic keyboard so you’ll first have to switch to the numeric keyboard (?123), tap “@” and then again switch to ABC mode.

That’s three keystrokes for typing one key. There’s a simple option as well – just press the ?123 key, slide the finger to reach the “@” key and then lift the finger up to release the key. You can use the trick to type numbers, punctuations marks, currency symbols and all other characters that’re found only on the numerical keypad of your iPhone or iPad.

Nutella Brownies

Shared from. http://www.instructables.com/id/Nutella-Brownies-Three-Ingredients/

I am about to change your life.  I am about to make you the happiest person on the planet.  I am about to show you how to make brownies with only three ingredients.  And I am going to exploit the inherent fantastical properties of Nutella in doing so.

See, Nutella already has fat, milk, and chocolate in it.  Since those are the things you would normally be adding to traditional brownies separately, why not use a product that already has these things - and hazelnuts!  See, you knew Nutella was amazing.  But maybe you didn't realize its full potential.  Until today - the day you met three-ingredient Nutella brownies.

Go.  Make these. Now.


Ingredients:

• 1 cup (280g) Nutella
• 2 eggs
• 10 tbsp (62g) flour

Directions:

1. Put it in a bowl. Mash it up.  Pour into a pan or muffin tin.  Top with hazelnuts if you're feeling extra fancy.  Bake at 350F (180C) for around 30 minutes (less time for cupcake form, more time if the centers aren't baked through). 

That's it. You're done. Eat them.  Revel. Be amazed.

You're welcome.
