Egg Drop Soup

This was my first attempt at a soup and I believe that, at least for a first try, it came out not too shabby. I found this recipe for Egg Drop Soup on a Paleo website with great pictures and instructions on each step. The little tips, like pouring the eggs in intermittently, were very helpful.

A few notes for the next time I make this:

- Let the onions cook a bit more in the butter - they were still crunchy

- I will try and create the broth from scratch next time instead of using boxed chicken broth from Trader Joes.

- Let the soup boil a bit more - I believe this is why the soup didn't come out as flavorful as it should have.

All in all it was a great attempt at my first soup. Next up, Ratatouille!

Until next time, Bonn Appetite!

I've created a monster!

I like to experiment with recipe's, combining them, making new one's from scratch, gathering ideas for some awesome (and some not so awesome) dishes. My latest creation, I believe, is blog-worthy. It is what is being referred to by all my friends, as the Mother of all Desserts. In summation, it is a Nutella and Twix filled crescent roll. Here's how I made it:

Ingredients:

- Canned Crescent rolls (I used Pillsburry Doughboy)

- Jar of Nutella

- Bag of fun sized Twix bars (it's close to Halloween and these are everywhere)

Steps:

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees

- Remove Crescent rolls from can and "break" apart the triangles

- Place the triangles in a pile for easier rolling

- Spread Nutella on the entire triangle, making sure to get the corners too (this makes the entire roll chocolaty, not just the middle)

- Place a fun sized Twix at the bottom of the triangle

- roll the crescent up and place on baking tray

- Bake on 375 degrees for about 10 minutes or until brown

- MOST IMPORTANTLY: Let it cool! They will be piping hot and the only time i hate chocolate is when it scalds the roof of my mouth

Tips:

- I lined the baking tray with aluminum foil because the Twix and Nutella will ooze out and no one wants to have to take a chisel to their bakeware

- I used the back of a spoon with the Nutella to avoid having to shovel the Nutella off the spoon with my finger

WARNING: Keep away from anyone on a diet! These are HIGHLY addictive and super tasty!
