leek, white and part of the green sliced thinly, garlic, diced, butter, butter for ing the baking dish, french bread, cubed into 1 cubes (depending on the size of your loaf, you may or may not need the entire loaf - you need enough to cover the bottom on the baking dish, and a layer on the top), cubed smoked ham (i prefer the saltiness of smoked ham over the sweet taste of honey or brown sugar ham - if you don tsp have leftover ham to use, just ask the deli person to slice a 1 thick piece of smoked ham for you), grated gruyere cheese (swiss cheese will do, but gruyere is worth the splurge!), half-and-half or whole milk, eggs, salt, garlic salt, pepper, al: a very light drizzle of hollandaise sauce over each slice is a nice addition, too. if you put the sauce in a separate gravy server , your guests can have the choice of adding it or noti m a big fan of hollandaise, so of course i never pass it up

gone are the days where the bride and groom share a slice of a 3, 4, or 5 tier wedding cake. nowadays some people are opting for a more simple cake solution, yet they still want the elegance that a large tiered cake offers. enter on stage the simple yet elegant cupcake., versatile cupcakes are standing along side and, in some cases, replacing larger cakes these days. below are some helpful hints if you want to use cupcakes for the main cake at your wedding., tip #1 : arrangement, how you arrange your cupcakes is as important if not more important than the taste. everyone wants a breathtaking wedding cake at their reception so arranging your cupcakes to give this appearance is very necessary., my personal favorite way of arranging my cupcakes is to stack 4 or 5 boxes on top of each other to form a tree of sorts. i choose boxes that are approximately 4 to 5 inches high. i like 24 inch square boxes then 18 inches square then 12 inches then 6 inches square. this gives me a cupcake ledge of 3 inches when the boxes are stacked., decorate your boxes as you wish. beautiful paper wrapped around the boxes then a ribbon all the way around is a great decorating combination ., your wedding cake cupcakes can then be placed on the ledges and on top of the boxes for a beautiful arrangement for your wedding., arrangement idea for your wedding cupcakes is to place cupcakes underneath raised cake platters. larger cakes or more cupcakes can be placed on top of the platters., how your cupcakes taste and even how many different flavors you offer are both very important to the overall success of your wedding cupcakes. i think 1 of the best reasons to have wedding cupcakes instead of a large wedding cake would be that you can have many different kinds of cakes. not everyone prefers the same type of cake and frosting so having 2 or 3 different types of cake flavors would be ideal., three of my favorite flavors are vanilla , chocolate, and lemon cupcakes. these are a great combination for any special occasion that you may choose to serve cupcakes. you can either serve all of the different flavors in the same cups with the same decoration or you can use different cups and/or different decorations for each cake flavor you choose., skimp on the ingredients for your wedding cupcakes. fresh cupcakes made from your favorite cupcake recipes are always the best choice. boxed cake mixes just won tsp cut i for special occasion cupcakes. the same goes for frosting. make your frosting instead of buying it prepackaged from a grocery store. if you don tsp feel confident making your own, you could always buy some freshly made frosting from a local bakery., presentation is everything when dealing with weddings. you should make sure your cupcakes are just the right size so they are absolutely gorgeous when presented. the entire purpose of serving cupcakes at a wedding is to give your guests a small taste of a wonderful dessert. small is the key word here. you don tsp want cupcakes that are larger than an actual teacup. if they are, then they should be called mini cakes and not cupcakes., also, it would cost you a fortune to bake mini cakes for each of your guests. the right size cupcake will offer just the right amount of cake for each person attending and will also likely save you money., be careful not to err on the side of your cupcakes being too small. if your cupcakes are too small, you may run out of cupcakes before you guests sweet teeth are satisfied. you also run the risk of having too much frosting on a small cupcake which could ruin the overall taste of your wedding cupcakes., i ve found that the perfect size cupcakes are baked in 1/2 cup wells that i fill approximately 1/2 to 2/3 full of cupcake batter. make sure you carefully measure the cupcake batter each time you fill a well. this will make sure that your cupcakes come out of the oven all the same size., i hope that these tips will help you produce the most beautiful wedding cupcakes that anyone has ever seen! good luck

chicken or vegetable stock (you may need a bit more, so i recommend to have at least an additional 1 cup of stock to the side, you can also use warm milk), instant polenta *(the book called for 2 1/3 cups of polenta, i used only 2/3 cups), butter, freshly grated parmesan, plus more to serve, salt and freshly ground black pepper - taste it before seasoning, since the chicken/vegetable stock is already giving it quite a bit of flavor and you don tsp want to over it.

white bread, crusts trimmed and bread torn into pieces, milk, extra lean ground beef (you can use half ground beef and half ground turkey as a healthier option), white onion, finely diced, carrot, peeled and finely diced, celery, finely diced, egg, chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped fresh oregano (if you don tsp have fresh available, you can use 1 tsp dried oregano, crushed), garlic clove, minced, salt , to taste, ground nutmeg, paprika, fresh ground pepper, all-purpose flour (for dusting), extra virgin olive oil

instant chocolate pudding mix, prepared, cool whip, graham cracker pie crust (or chocolate or what you like), cream , redi whip (optional), chocolate bar (optional)

risotto with sausage and cranberry beans, make risotto , you absolutely must use a specific type of rice called arborio rice (carnaroli and vialone nano are also used, some say superior, but are more difficult to find). these types of rice release starch when stirred in a liquid; it is this process which makes risotto, otherwise you just have a starchy mess of mush. these types of rice are identified by their fat round grains and pearly appearance. they can be used to make other sorts of rice dishes, such as pilaf, but other types of rice cannot be used for risotto. arborio is no longer that much of a specialty product; it can be found in most large, well-stocked grocery stores in the italian section. or sometimes, misguidedly, in the asian section., okay , so now we have the rice. you will also need some good, low-salt stock or broth - it should be low-salt not for health reasons, but because a good deal of it will evaporate, leaving its salt behind, and i like to have more control over the salt in a dish. it can be homemade, but i m not going to be a snob about it because, in truth, we go through gallons of store-bought stock in this household and i don tsp see that changing anytime soon. furthermore, risotto is actually a dish which can be whipped up out of thin air when it seems as though you have nothing to eat, as long as you have butter, rice, stock, maybe a few herbs, and some leftover parmesan. i like the kind of stock purchased in tetrapak cartons, because they are resealable and can be put in the fridge and used as needed. if you really want to use homemade but you don tsp have time to make stock or don tsp like the aroma of roasting bones in your house (i don tsp blame you), you can buy really great stock at north market poultry and game - it is expensive, but can be diluted with a 2- or 3-to-1 ratio of water to stock, so it stretches. my general guideline is to plan on 1/4 cup dry rice per person, and about 4 cups of stock to 1 cup of rice. of course, this isn tsp exact and will vary depending on your elevation and the phases of the moon, but it s a good place to start. i usually just use 4 cups of stock and then dilute with water or wine (or sometimes beer, if that s all i have) if i feel i m going to run out., well, we have rice and stock covered, now we just need our setup: place the stock in a saucepan on your rear burner, bring to a simmer, and leave it there with a 6-8 oz ladle in, and place a large, wide saute pan (must be really large, plan that your rice will at least quadruple in size) or dutch oven on the burner in front. get out your favorite wooden spoon and flex your stirring arm., nice thing about using sausage is it s so full of flavor you can leave out the usual onion/garlic/shallot/celery nonsense if you re tired and don tsp feel like chopping. furthermore, sausage goes from the freezer to the pan without suffering too much. okay, let s go, risotto with sausage and cranberry beans - serves 4, links italian sausage , or 1 lb bulk (or hot, or a combination - definitely with some fennel), casings removed, cooked cranberry beans or 1 can white beans, drained, arborio rice, beef , chicken or vegetable stock, butter, freshly, finely grated parmesan cheese , plus more for garnish, an oz) flat-leaf parsley, chopped finely, lemon juice , or juice from 1/2 lemon, salt and black pepper to taste, red pepper flakes to taste, optional, good balsamic vinegar , optional

garlic bread, this goes great with any italian dish , and is simple to make., garlic powder, oregano, basil, dired minced garlic, kosher salt, parmesean cheese, butter, softened, italian bread, preheat oven to 375 degrees. combine spices in a mortar in pestle, and grind until the salt and minced garlic have been broken down and combined. if you don tsp have a mortar and pestle, simply put the spices in a zip loc freezer bag, and beat with the flat side of a meat tenderizer or rolling pin until crushed and combined. slice loaf in half length wise, and spread each half with a half stick of butter. divide the spice mixture in half, and spread each half evenly over each piece of bread. wrap each half in aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes. to crisp it up a bit, open the foil up and bake another 5 to 7 minutes.

baking chocolate (nestle or any brand of flavored morsels. it can be peanut butter, butterscotch, white chocolate, dar), eagle brand sweetened condensed milk, salt, vanilla extract (but you don tsp have to just use vanilla, add any flavor you like), extract (not just vanilla, such as, mint, peppermint, fruit flavors, almond, you can also use liquors such as), nuts, candy cane, pieces, marshmallow, candied fruit, toffee pieces, cookie , pieces, candy bar, pieces, fruit preserves (not jam or jellie)

chicken breasts, pounded thin, prosciutto ham (or you can use any good baked ham), gruyere cheese, shredded (or you can use 4 slices of swiss), hickory bacon (don tsp use thick sliced, just regular), kosher salt, ground black pepper, olive oil, butter, diced onion (i prefer shallots, but a regular onion will work fine), chicken broth, white wine (if you don tsp want to use wine, just use all chicken stock or broth), heavy cream (or you can use evaporated milk or even light cream and even milk, i just like the consistency of hea), dijon mustard (i love to mix dijon and ground mustard but if you only have dijon, that if just fine, if you like mo), fresh parsley, kosher salt, ground black pepper

flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, unsweetened applesauce, soymilk, lemon extract (depends on how lemony you like it) or 1/2-1 tsp lemon juice (depends on how lemony you like it), white vinegar, earth balance margarine (its vegan. if you don tsp have this, you can use 2 tbsp. olive oil), vanilla extract, frozen blueberries, oats (large flake looks best), brown sugar, cinnamon

warm water, sugar, scant tbsp active dry yeast, pumpernickel, vegetable oil (optional but will help the pitas stay fresher longer ), scant tbsp salt, chopped onion , scallions or chives, caraway seed (or dill seed), king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, since the protein in rye flour or meal doesn tsp translate into gluten when it is mixed with a liquid, this dough won tsp have the stretch that an all-wheat dough will. if you use this ratio of pumpernickel to wheat when you re making pita bread, a pocket is reluctant to form. it is easy enough to make 1 with a knife after the pitas have baked. if you want the pocket to happen by itself and if you don tsp mind a milder rye flavor, use only 1 cup of pumpernickel and increase the wheat flour by the same measure, put this together as follows , using the pumpernickel in the initial sponge

tomato puree, water (may vary depending upon thickness of puree), ground fennel, basil, oregano, pepper, salt, fresh basil leaves (if you have it), bay leaves, crushed red pepper flakes (use less if you don tsp want it hot or more if you like a hot sauce), ground chicken or 1 lb turkey, eggs, diced garlic, parmesan cheese (may need to add more if meat is real wet), breadcrumbs (may need to add more if meat is real wet), salt, black pepper, oregano, basil, parsley, mild medium or hot italian sausage, country-style boneless pork ribs
