  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For Topping:

  • Powdered sugar (optional)

  2. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch them together tightly to form a ball, making sure the filling is sealed inside.

Step 3: Coat with Graham Crackers

  1. Roll each dough ball in crushed graham crackers, pressing gently to ensure they stick well.

Step 4: Fry to Perfection

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
  2. Carefully drop a few s’mores bombs into the hot oil, frying in batches. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally to ensure even frying.

Cozy Broccoli Cheddar Soup: The Ultimate Comfort in a Bowl

by recipesinfamily
written by recipesinfamily

Imagine curling up on a chilly evening with a warm, creamy bowl of soup that hugs your taste buds. This Cozy Broccoli Cheddar Soup is the perfect remedy to cold days, instantly lifting your spirits and warming you from the inside out. Loaded with fresh broccoli and gooey melted cheddar, every spoonful will make you feel like you’re being wrapped in a cozy blanket.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional, for added warmth)

Directions

  1. Sauté the Veggies: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, just until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic—it should release a delightful aroma, signaling it’s ready for the next step.
  2. Add the Veggies: Toss in the diced carrot and broccoli florets. Stir everything together and let it cook for a few minutes until the broccoli starts to soften. This step brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots and prepares the broccoli to absorb the flavors of the soup.
  3. Simmer in Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let everything cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli and carrot are tender. This simmering process melds all the flavors together beautifully.
  4. Blend to Perfection: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or leave some chunks if you like a bit of texture. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender and blend in batches. Remember to let the steam escape from the blender lid to avoid any accidents.
  5. Add Creaminess: Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the milk, heating gently until warm. If you prefer a thicker soup, sprinkle in the flour and whisk until fully combined. The soup should start to coat the back of a spoon, giving you a creamy, luxurious texture.
  6. Cheesy Goodness: Slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese, one handful at a time, stirring continuously until it melts into a smooth, velvety finish. Don’t rush this step—patience is key to ensuring the cheese doesn’t clump. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if desired. The nutmeg adds a subtle warmth that complements the rich cheese.
  7. Serve Warm: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy immediately. For the ultimate comfort meal, pair it with crusty bread or a side of crispy garlic croutons. Each bite is guaranteed to be heartwarming and satisfying.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make this soup ahead of time?
Absolutely! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of milk if it’s too thick. This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.

2. Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes, but keep in mind the texture may change slightly due to the dairy. To freeze, divide the soup into individual portions and store in freezer-safe containers. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating on the stove.

3. Can I use frozen broccoli?
Yes! Using frozen broccoli works wonderfully. Just add it straight to the pot, and it will cook beautifully, blending into the creamy texture once pureed.

4. How can I make it healthier?
You can make a lighter version by using low-fat milk and reducing the amount of cheese. Another tip is to skip the flour for a thinner consistency, or swap out some of the cheese for nutritional yeast for a healthier cheesy flavor.

Brownie Mix Cookies: The Easiest Way to Get a Chewy, Chocolatey Treat!

by recipesinfamily
written by recipesinfamily

Imagine the rich, fudgy goodness of a brownie, but in the form of a soft, chewy cookie! These Brownie Mix Cookies are so simple to make, yet they pack all the chocolate flavor you crave. With just a handful of ingredients, you’ll have a batch of decadent cookies ready in no time. And the best part? They taste just like something Grandma would have made, perfect for dunking in a glass of milk. Trust me, these cookies will quickly become a family favorite!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • 1 box brownie mix: The base of this easy recipe, giving you that rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • 2 large eggs: Adds moisture and binds the ingredients together.
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil: Keeps the cookies soft and chewy.
  • ⅛ cup all-purpose flour: Helps give the cookies a bit of structure.
  • Optional: chopped nuts: For a delightful crunch and added texture.

Directions to Make These Irresistible Cookies:

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will ensure the cookies don’t stick and make for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and all-purpose flour. Stir until everything is well blended, and the dough is thick and glossy. If you’re adding nuts, gently fold them into the mixture.
  3. Scoop the Dough: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to space them about 2 inches apart, as the cookies will spread slightly while baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 9 minutes. The cookies should be set around the edges but still soft in the center. Remember, they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set properly. Once cooled, grab a glass of milk and indulge in these chewy, chocolatey delights!

Tips for the Perfect Brownie Mix Cookies:

  • Customize Your Cookies: Add chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or white chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor. You can also sprinkle a little sea salt on top for a gourmet touch.
  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them and thaw when needed.
  • Serving Suggestions: These cookies are perfect on their own or paired with ice cream for an indulgent dessert.

FAQ

1. Can I use a different type of oil?
Yes, you can use melted coconut oil or canola oil as a substitute. Just be aware that it might slightly alter the flavor.

2. Can I make these cookies without flour?
The all-purpose flour helps give the cookies structure, but you can omit it for a more gooey, brownie-like texture. The cookies may spread a bit more without it.

3. How do I know when the cookies are done?
The edges should be set, and the centers should still look soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool, so don’t overbake them.

4. Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative and add your favorite mix-ins to the dough. Chopped walnuts, pecans, or extra chocolate chips are all delicious options.

How to Get Your Glass Stovetop Sparkling Clean in Minutes

by recipesinfamily
written by recipesinfamily

A glass stovetop adds a sleek, modern look to your kitchen, but it can be a real pain to keep clean. Even the tiniest splatters and spills seem to show up like neon signs. But don’t worry—you don’t need to stress or spend hours scrubbing. This easy step-by-step guide will show you how to get your glass stovetop looking brand new in just minutes!

What You’ll Need:

  • Baking soda
  • White vinegar
  • Dawn dish soap
  • A spray bottle
  • A soft microfiber cloth
  • A non-abrasive scrubbing pad

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Surface
    Start by making sure your stovetop is cool to the touch. Wipe away any loose crumbs or residue with a damp cloth.
  2. Apply Vinegar
    Pour white vinegar into a spray bottle and lightly mist the entire surface of your glass stovetop. Vinegar is a fantastic natural cleaner that cuts through grease and grime without leaving streaks.
  3. Sprinkle Baking Soda
    Generously sprinkle baking soda over the vinegar-coated stovetop. The fizzing action of the baking soda and vinegar combo helps lift stubborn stains and makes scrubbing easier.
  4. Use a Soapy Towel
    Fill a sink with warm water and a few drops of Dawn dish soap. Submerge a clean towel in the soapy water, then wring it out well. Lay the soapy towel over the entire stovetop, covering the baking soda and vinegar mixture. Let it sit for 15 minutes to break down tough stains.
  5. Wipe and Scrub
    After 15 minutes, remove the towel and use a non-abrasive scrubbing pad to gently buff away any remaining stains. For any extra-stubborn spots, apply a little more baking soda and scrub gently.
  6. Rinse and Dry
    Use a clean, damp microfiber cloth to wipe away any remaining cleaner. Finally, buff the stovetop dry with a dry microfiber cloth to make it shine.

Bonus Tips for a Gleaming Stovetop:

  • Clean Spills Quickly: The sooner you tackle spills, the easier they are to remove.
  • Use the Right Tools: Avoid using abrasive pads or cleaners that can scratch the glass. Stick with soft cloths and non-abrasive scrubbing pads.
  • Daily Maintenance: A quick wipe with vinegar after cooking keeps your stovetop looking pristine and saves you time later.

FAQs

How often should I clean my glass stovetop?
For best results, give it a quick wipe down after each use and a more thorough clean once a week or as needed.

Can I use a razor blade on tough spots?
Yes, but with caution. If you have particularly stubborn, burnt-on stains, you can gently use a razor blade at a 45-degree angle to avoid scratching the glass. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Is there an alternative to baking soda and vinegar?
If you don’t have baking soda or vinegar, you can use a commercial glass stovetop cleaner, but make sure it’s designed for glass surfaces to prevent damage.

Ingredients

  • 10-12 lb uncooked shank portion ham
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Remove the skin and most of the excess fat from the ham, leaving a thin layer to render during baking.
  2. Score the Ham: Score the ham in a diamond pattern. This not only looks nice but also helps the fat render and the glaze penetrate the meat.
  3. Bake: Place the ham in a roasting pan. Bake for 20 minutes per pound, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  4. Make the Glaze: While the ham bakes, mix the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
  5. Glaze the Ham: During the last 45 minutes of baking, brush the glaze over the ham.
  6. Rest: Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest before slicing.
  7. Serve: Slice the ham into thin slices and serve.

Conclusion and Tips

This Honey Glazed Holiday Ham is a showstopper at any festive gathering. For an extra touch, try adding a bit of orange zest to the glaze. Serve it with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
