This time of year one may loosen their belt a little and indulge, right?  For me, I am not sure I loosen my belt – I might just push the pants down a little lower to sit under the belly… but that may be too much info.  Regardless I wanted to share with you a few awesome recipes from some blogger friends that will make your mouth water.  I have been reading each of these blogs for a while and needless to say I am impressed with their work, their food and of course their photography.

Take a quick scan through these sweet treats and tell me what you think.

How Sweet It Is

When you say cookies and cream cheesecake bars… what immediately goes off in your head?  Amazing?  Yeah I thought so.  Take a look at this…  Jessica rocks out this Oreo dessert and I am sure would be a hit at any holiday potluck you ever had to attend.

Picky Palate

Can you really go through the festive Christmas season without a little peppermint in your life?  Feast your eyes on this treat that will have people caroling for hours after they leave your house.  Seriously… I think I have to make these treats.

Kalyn’s Kitchen

For me when you say Chocolate…. I kind of get excited.  Chocolate bread… gets me even more psyched.  But when you combine chocolate and zucchini – it seems that you should be able to eat a bunch of slices because it has vegetables in it…. so I normally do.  Look at this fun recipe from Kalyn’s Kitchen and I am sure you will be featuring this over the holidays.

Oh She Glows

I am a sucker for oatmeal based desserts and these Berry Bliss Bars are no exception.  I would literally eat 3-4 squares of this treat before the sand timer would elapse on a board game.  These look delicious!  Even reading the details, they are somewhat healthy – what is up with that?  Super deal.  Whip these up in your kitchen and let me know what you think.

You know my fascination with brownies right?  Remember when I came out with a statement a while ago with a post that boasted a brownie that would change your life?  Those brownies are pretty yummy to say the least.  But today I have another story to tell you about.  Saturday morning I was lying on the couch watching the food network when Anna Olson came on and started making an outdoor picnic lunch.  On the menu was a triple chocolate brownie.

My ears perked up and I watched closely for the steps and tricks to make these super moist.  The key with brownies is that they can be dry if you are not careful.  There is no fear about these brownies getting dried out.  They are super moist and the one really astonishing fact about these brownies is the lack of flour.

Check below and let me know what you think.

Ingredients

• 10 Oz. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 2/3 Cup unsalted butter
• 3/4 Cup sugar
• 1 Tsp vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 Cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 Tsp salt
• 3 Oz white chocolate chips or chunks
• 3 Oz milk chocolate chunks

Method

1. Preheat oven to 325 F and grease and line an 8-inch pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl resting over a pot of barely simmering water, melt chocolate and butter, stirring gently. Remove from heat and stir in sugar and vanilla.
3. Stir in eggs, one at a time. Stir in flour and salt. Fold in white and milk chocolate chips.
4. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a tester inserted in the center of the brownies comes out clean.
5. Cool before slicing.
6. ENJOY!

Zesty Tip: Chill these and top them with a dollop of ice cream to make brownie ice cream sandwiches.  These will make you really happy any time of the day… trust me I tried it.

Alright, I am off to the office.  The middle of the week is upon us and the sun is going to shine.  Have a super Wednesday and I will keep you posted on the landscaping projects on Friday.

Take care

Guess what?  I totally forgot it was Friday and I had to post today!  Can you believe that?  Well I just remembered and I knew I had nothing prepared.  With that said, I thought of this post because hopefully we are approaching the nicer weather where the zesty-in-laws will be calling us up for some pizza.  Whooo Hooo.  Look at this post if you don’t remember it from last year.

Happy Wednesday and welcome to a very special post!

A few weeks back I got a call from a Zesty in Law stating that they were getting a brick oven built in their backyard and I was asked if I would like to photograph the build and feature it on zesty.  Of course my answer was yes as I thought you would love to see it from start to finish. The goal being to see it at the finished stage and taste the food from the oven.  That happened last Friday and we will get to that in a little bit.

One hint: AMAZING

What is a Brick Oven

Now some of you may ask what is a brick oven so I thought I would share a little insight.

These ovens work on retained heat. A fire is burned in the oven for a few hours, the coals are raked out, the oven floor brushed or swabbed with a damp mop and then the food is cooked using the heat stored in the oven mass. Wood-fired bakeovens are used to bake crusty bread, crisp pizza and just about anything else including the Christmas turkey. The oven can have a barrel/vault shape or it can be round. The inner workings of the oven can be of modern firebrick material or simply made of clay like the early settlers used. Plan your oven location, if you can, so it can be used in any weather.

OK.  Everyone is on the same page on the “What is a Brick Oven” so now let’s get to “How to Build a Brick Oven”.  For this next phase I am going to show you a bunch of pictures with very little narrative as I think the pictures will explain themselves.

The Brick Oven

The Final Product

Here is the final oven in all it’s glory!  Notice the sheer size of the structure not too mention how cool it looks in general.

Pizza Pizza

Oh my God or OMG or whatever you want to say when you are super excited and you cannot get enough of something.  This pizza was absolutely insane.  For the night, I was sous chef  Zesty as I was helping with the prep and layout of the pizza.  Also was called upon every now and again to give the pizza a turn in the oven, slice it after completion and call over the troops.

For cooking pizza, the oven was around 850-900 degrees F and the pizzas would literally cook in 2-3 minutes.  It was the first night of pizza cooking so there will be a few tweaks put in place to master the dough levels but overall the crowd loved it.

First off, you have to start the fire and get the oven up to temperature.  Then using a brush, reach in and clean the floor in preparation of the pizza dough.

Zesty in law and myself cooked 11 pizzas including a couple of dessert pizzas that may knock your socks off.  We will get to those in a minute.  First up we have a basic pizza with homemade tomato sauce, some Genoa salami and cheese ( It was for the kiddos but I may have snuck a piece )

As the night went on we switched up the toppings, rolled the dough for a few of them and even picked some fresh basil.

Here is a little olive oil, fresh basil and cheese pizza. This was a huge hit!

On to the Dessert Pizza. How does strawberries, raspberries, chocolate, vanilla sugar and fresh dough baked at 800 degrees sound for dessert? Pretty damn good right? Well if you said “Holy Yum” you would be bang on. These were amazing!

We capped the night off with a Simple Smore done in the oven. I took a marshmallow, sliced a hole in the center and shoved in some chocolate, then roasted it in the oven and placed it between two graham wafers.

Let’s finish the night with a little FIRE!

Special thanks to the Zesty in Law’s for letting me feature this on the blog and  Red Clay for building the oven and doing such a great job.  John over at  Red Clay definitely knows his bricks and it shows in the final product.

Before I go I want to say a special “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to a Zesty in Law who reads my posts everyday.  Hope you have a great day, CAW.  Alright, I better get going here and get some breakfast.  I know this was a long post but I felt it was the best way to describe such an amazing work of art.  Have a super Wednesday and I will see you on Friday.

Take care

Not my hair silly!

Remember back a while ago, I made these gorgeous squares that literally knocked you over with excitement?  Well If you don’t remember I will remind you… I DID.  No I didn’t dream up the recipe but I did pretty much eat the whole pan.  I had a huge craving for these little packs of sugar again so I thought I would share them with all the new readers that have never seen BUTTERSCOTCH BLONDIES.

What I strongly suggest is that you review the ingredient list before you go home tonight, stop in at the grocery store on the way home and prepare to make this on the weekend.  After you make them, and eat a whole bunch of them – pop back on the blog and let me know in the comments if you liked them or not.  I am pretty confident you will LOVE them.

Now on with the post from previous…

I have been dying to make these Butterscotch Blondies for a while now.  I have had a few requests and have seen them around the food blogs everywhere so I decided to take the plunge.

The result? Very successful!  I chose the recipe from one of my favorite food blogs – smitten kitchen.  They seemed so easy  – I was actually surprised just how easy they actually were.

Here is the lowdown on how to make ‘em.

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup butter (melted)
• 1 Cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 Tsp. vanilla
• 3/4 Cup butterscotch chips
• Pinch salt
• 1 Cup all-purpose flour

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees°F.
2. Butter an 8×8 pan.



3. Mix melted butter with brown sugar – beat until smooth.









4. Beat in egg and then vanilla.







5. Add salt, stir in flour.





6. Add butterscotch chips – stir together.



7. Pour into prepared pan.



8. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until set in the middle.



9. Cool on rack before cutting them.



10. ENJOY!

Zesty Tip: When preparing your pan for brownies/blondies such as these, be sure to select a light-colored, shiny pan, which will conduct heat evenly. Glass or dark-colored pans can cause the edges to over bake or even burn. Always grease the pan thoroughly with shortening, softened butter, or cooking spray (do this even if the recipe doesn’t specify).

Question of the day: What is your favorite addition to the traditional blondie?

I hope you have a great Friday and weekend!  For all of you people in the Northeast, Can you believe that the snow is actually melting and spring is on it’s way?

Help The Students Event: Day 15

Hi Zesty Cook readers! I’m Jessica and blog over at How Sweet It is, which is a blend of my passion for food and fitness. Quick, easy and economical meals are a must in our house since my husband and I both work full time jobs. The last thing we want to do in the evening is slave over a hot stove for hours. I also have a slight shoe obsession and prefer to spend my hard-earned money on fancy footwear. Below is one of the go-to meals we eat and enjoy every week!

We have a bit of a quesadilla obsession in our house. Luckily for us, they are easy and quick to put together, as well as economical!

Any given week we have one or two different versions of quesadillas. It is pertinent to switch things up so my taste buds and I don’t get bored. Most of the quesadillas contain some form of meat so Mr. How Sweet doesn’t throw a temper tantrum. But they don’t need the meat. Some of my favorites contain just fruit and cheese!

Not only are they simple and quick, they are easy to make healthy. Use whole wheat tortillas, low-fat cheese, lean meats, fruit and veggies. It doesn’t get much better than that!

The BBQ chicken quesadilla is probably my favorite variety. It is a nice compromise for Mr. How Sweet and me – he gets chicken, and I get sweet onions and oooey, gooey cheese. If you want to simplify things further, you can leave out the caramelized onions and use whatever cheese you please. Same goes for any quesadilla you may come across. Include ingredients you may not normally use – make it fun and make it yours.

Here is how simple the quesadillas are to make: all you need is a skillet and your ingredients. Heat the skillet on medium heat, throw the ingredients inside, fold the tortilla in half and let it warm through. If you don’t have a stove, you can simply use the microwave. See? Quick and painless.

Zesty  Tip: Add a bit of cheese to BOTH sides of the quesadilla to act as “glue” and hold your ingredients in place.

Here are some of our favorite combos

BBQ Chicken Includes: chicken, bbq sauce, caramelized onions and cheese.

Chili Mango Chicken Includes: chicken, mango, cheese

Dessert Quesadillas Includes: chocolate, peanut butter, honey

Crab & Avocado Quesadillas Includes: crab, bacon, avocado, cheese

Roasted Veggie & Goat Cheese Includes: roasted veggies of choice, goat cheese

Simple Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas Includes: chicken, cheese, beans, peppers

What a cool post!  Thanks so much Jessica.  Quesadillas are such a fun way to pack different flavors time and time again .  You did a fantastic job.  There has been a slight hiccup in the photos from the Chowder Competition – so I will have to delay it until tomorrow hopefully!  Thanks for your patience.  We will talk tomorrow.

Take care

Happy Monday and welcome to a new week!  I was unsure what to share with you today because I have so much in the hopper and ready to go and there is so much going on in the coming weeks.  As you know from last week, September 1st marks the start of HELP THE STUDENTS event and I cannot wait.  It will be a one month series, featuring simple, quick meals that anyone can prepare with simple everyday ingredients.  They will also focus on being cost effective as well as packing lots o’ flavor.

Before we get into today’s recipe which I pretty much love – I want to share some feedback I have heard over the blog in the last few months both positive and negative.  The positive feedback just reassures me that I am doing something I love and will continue to do.  The negative feedback is what I really love.  Sound bizarre?  Not really.  I find the negative information drives me to deliver a better blog, add more value for you the reader and an enhanced experience for all to enjoy.

Positive Feedback

• Amazing Photography
• Tasty recipes that I can actually make
• Love the Zesty Tips
• Fun to read

Negative Feedback

• Not enough Vegetarian recipes
• Want more posts each week
• More pictures of zesty and his family
• Would love to see more E-books of recipes

On to the Food

Ever need an idea oh how to use up a fresh summer pineapple in a different way?  I know myself I have the hamsters moving in my head all the time to come up with innovative ideas to use fruit in the summer to impress both my palette and yours.

Most recently I had a gorgeous fresh pineapple from the farmers market and I knew I wanted to grill it.  By grilling fruit, the sugars inside caramelize so well and give you that sweet warm texture as you bite into them.  For this quick recipe all you need are a few ingredients and about 10 minutes to whip it up.  I have tried this twice now, so far and it has been a hit each time.

Ingredients

• 1 Whole Pineapple ( sliced and cored)
• Vanilla Ice cream
• Pink Peppercorns (optional)
• 1 Tbsp. Butter
• 1 Tbsp. Brown sugar
• Orange zest

Method

1. In a bowl add butter and brown sugar and microwave for 30 seconds.
2. Preheat grill to medium heat
3. Coat the pineapple in the borwn sugar butter glaze and place on grill.  Stay close as it will cook quickly and you do not want it to burn
4. Once golden brown, remove from heat and top with Vanilla ice cream, a few pink peppercorns for a bite and some fresh orange zest.
5. ENJOY!

Zesty Tip: For a little crunch, try adding some toasted walnuts, peanuts or even pecans to elevate the flavor and texture combination even more.

I hope you enjoyed this quick spin on fresh fruit.  See you on Wednesday for the Help the Students event kick-off.

Take care

Hollar! How goes your Wednesday? Mine seems to be trucking along as well as it could for a work week hump day. As I thought last night what I could share with you today – it took me all of 30 seconds as I knew I wanted to share this fabulous frosting recipe. Super easy, very quick and oh my god – so good!

Ideally this is meant for cakes, cupcakes or dessert like recipes but I am pretty sure you could rub this on your old car bumper and it would be just fine!  You have to try this for your next baking expedition.  It is an old classic and very similar to my “famous” ( in my own mind) How to make boiled icing post but with a slight variation.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup White Sugar
• 1/3 Cup Water
• 1/4 Tsp. Cream of tarter
• 1/8 Tsp. Salt
• 2 Unbeaten egg whites
• 1 Tsp. Vanilla

Method

1. Combine the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
2. Very slowly add the above sugar mixture to the unbeaten egg whites in a mixing bowl, beating constantly with an electric mixer until peaks form.
3. Beat in vanilla during the peak forming process.
4. Once stiff set aside and prepare to ice whatever you like.
5. ENJOY!

Zesty Tip: You want to beat it long enough to form the peaks and create the stiff texture to ensure it “STICKS” to the cake.  You may want to use a timer if this is your first time and or nervous of making a mistake.

Help Zesty…. Help The Students

Remember back to my Turkey and Blueberry post from Monday, I mentioned that I had a fun announcement and idea that you could participate in and share.

For the month of September, I want to create a series of posts that share “fun, simple, healthy and cost saving meal ideas”.  A slight variation on the idea is that if I have enough participation I will post every day of the month or at least the weekdays.  So here is where the fun comes in – I am asking all the readers whether you have a blog or not to send me a recipe with a picture that fits the topic and I will post it and link back to your blog or give credit however you would like.

Sound fun?  I think so.  I committed to my niece that I would “Get Zesty” and share some simple ideas to get them through the dinner time on their own.  To join in and help students all over the world – just pop me an email and submit your recipe/idea and I will take it from there.  I would like to thank everyone in advance for taking the time to help.

Have a super Wednesday and I will touch base with you on Friday with something else yummy to eat and an update on the “Help the Students” idea.

Take care

Let me start off by saying that viewer discretion is advised for today’s post.  OK now with the story that preludes possibly the greatest brownie I have ever sunk my teeth in thus far in my life.  Last Saturday Mrs. Zesty had a baby shower to attend and she was designated for a dessert/sweet treat for the girls.  Last week was a bit of a zoo and I think I forgot about prepping this dessert until Friday afternoon at work.  After work I did a quick scan for some ideas and came up with a chocolate caramel brownie.  I figured that would be a hit with a “bunch” of girls.

I knew time was tight and I didn’t want to spend all night Friday night to prep a dessert.  With that said, I counted on Google and did a quick chocolate caramel brownie search.  At that point you can say my life may have changed forever.  See below for all the details.

This recipe, I cannot take any credit for and nor will I try as it is compliments of Nestle Toll House and as you can see from the reviews…. I am not the only one that liked them.

Ingredients

• 1 pkg. (18.25 oz.) chocolate cake mix
• 1 cup chopped nuts ( Optional )
• 1 cup Evaporated Milk
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
• 35 (10-oz. pkg.) caramels, unwrapped
• 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Combine cake mix and nuts in large bowl. Stir in 2/3 cup evaporated milk and butter (batter will be thick). Spread half of batter into ungreased 13 x 9-inch baking pan.



3. Bake for 15 minutes.
4. Heat caramels and remaining evaporated milk in small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until caramels are melted. Sprinkle morsels over brownie; drizzle with caramel mixture.







5. Drop remaining batter by heaping teaspoon over caramel mixture.





6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until center is set.
7. Cool in pan on wire rack.



8. ENJOY!

Zesty Tip: The only tip I could recommend for this recipe is too make it at least in double batch form.  It is absolutely amazing.

If you like gooey, chocolate, caramel and oh did I mention brownies…. if so you have to make these TODAY!  As I know a lot of people have great brownie recipes from scratch but too follow this recipe which literally takes 10 minutes to prep, the results are so satisfying.  Girls if you are reading from the shower, let me know what you thought of the brownie in the comments.

Have an awesome Wednesday and let me know if you have any questions concerning this recipe or any other recipe that you see here.

Thanks

2 Days until Christmas!!  Good morning and welcome to another exciting blurb from yours truly.  Today is the day we have been waiting for the last six months – We are moving in TONIGHT!  The Upholstery cleaning team did their thing and we are good to go.  We worked at the house until about midnight last night trying to get the bedrooms prepped and I think we are ready to take the plunge tonight.

As promised from yesterday’s post – I told you I would get a little closer with a fantastic dessert delivered to the party by a “zesty” cousin.  I am a pretty huge fan of bread in general but when you throw it into a bread pudding dessert, I pretty much fly off the handle with excitement.  When I caught a glimpse of the bread pudding and  heard rumblings that it was in the kitchen I went scouting with the camera around my neck, snapping pictures left and right to get a good shot for you. 

Cranberries inside the bread pudding is so festive and exciting.   It was so delicious, moist and the sauce was crazy good.  Check it out below: 

Ingredients

Pudding

• 1 Quart milk
• 2 Cups sugar (I use 1 white, 1 brown)
• 1 Cup dried sweetened cranberries
• 6 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons vanilla
• 1 Tsp. baking powder
• 1 Tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 Loaves of white bread (Cut off all crust, cube andf then dry the cubes out on a baking sheet in a low 200 degree oven)

Sauce

• 2 Cups brown sugar
• 1 Cup cream
• 3/4 Cup butter
• 1/2 Tsp. Vanila

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 13X9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Combine 1 quart milk, 2 cups sugar, cranberries, eggs, vanilla, baking powder and cinnamon in large bowl; stir until well blended.
3. Add bread and toss to blend thoroughly.
4. Pour mixture into prepared dish.
5. Bake 50 to 70 minutes or until golden and knife inserted into center comes out clean.
6. For sauce, mix sugar,cream and butter; bring to a boil in small saucepan.
7. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until butter melts and sugar dissolves.
8. After about 3 minutes and the sauce begins to thicken add vanilla.
9. Remove from heat.
10. Cut bread pudding into squares.
11. Spoon sauce over each serving.
12. ENJOY!

Zesty Tip: Feel free to use raisins instead of cranberries if you want to go the more traditional route.  Nothing else in the recipe has to change to accommodate the raisins.

I want to thank my zesty cousin so much for a great recipe and the oppurtunity to share it with you.  It tasted fabulous and by all means if you try it – let me know through the comments or email.  Have a great Wednesday and I will talk to you tomorrow.

Take care

Good morning, good evening or goodnight…. depending of course on when you are reading this delicious post.  We had a very productive weekend – lots of things are happening.  We completed the back splash in the kitchen, and the painter put the final two coats of verathane on the stairs (they look amazing).  We then emptied half of the storage trailer into the basement/garage and we even did some Christmas shopping.

I am not going to show you any more pictures until the final reveal next week.  We are so close to being complete I can hardly stand it.  We have professional cleaners coming in on Wednesday to do a thorough cleaning from top to bottom.  Once everything is complete I will do a whole post dedicated to the house so stay tuned.

On to the Food

I am pretty sure you are going to like today’s post.  It resembles some more Christmas baking like the fudge but this cake can be made year around for your enjoyment.  I can pretty much eat this cake in large chunks throughout the day but I have issues.

As you will see in the recipe below – I think the key ingredient is the cream cheese.  It keeps it moist and the texture soft.  It is quite simple to make and you do not necessarily need to use a bundt pan if you do not have one.  You can just use a large loaf pan.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Butter
• 1 1/2 Cups White Sugar
• 4 Oz. Cream cheese, softened
• 4 Eggs
• 1/2 Cup Milk
• 3 Cups White All Purpose Flour
• 2 Tsp. Baking Powder
• 1 Tsp. Salt
• 1 Tsp. Vanilla, almond and lemon flavoring
• 1 lb. Gum Drops ( the baking ones)
• 1 Cup Flavored Cherries ( optional )

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream together butter, sugar and cream cheese and then beat in eggs one at a time.
3. Add flavoring; sift in dry ingredients, saving 1/2 cup of flour for gum drops and cherries.
4. Add dry ingredients and milk into previously creamed mixture; stir in gum drops and cherries
5. Transfer to bundt or loaf pan.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/4 Hours.





7. ENJOY!

Zesty Tip: By adding the half cup of flour to the gum drops and cherries it will prevent them from sticking together and staying in clumps throughout the cake.

Well – I only have a partial week at the office this week as I am taking off Friday and the following Monday for moving and getting settled in to the new pad.  I hope you have a great start to your week and I will talk to you tomorrow.

Take care
