Yields 8-12 Twists

Ingredients

2 rolls of puff pastry
8 - 12 slices of bacon
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese
1 egg for an egg wash
eggs to soft boil (as many as you’d like)

Preparation

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease

Roll out the puff pastry to a size where you can get 8 - 12 strips

At the bottom half of the dough, lay out your bacon slices (cut in half). Sprinkle the cheese on top. Then fold the dough over to cover the bacon and cheese. Slice into strips. Press the edges, and twist. Whisk 1 egg and a little bit of water. Coat the top of the twists. Bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes.

While the twists are baking, prepare the soft boiled eggs by bringing a pot of water to a rolling boil. Boil the eggs for around 6 minutes (depending on how soft you want them). Drain and run under cool water for at least 1 minute to set the egg but keep the middle runny.

Pair together, and enjoy!

Yields 25-30 crepes

Ingredients

1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
½ tsp salt
1½ cups flour
4 tbsp melted butter
Fillings/Toppings of your choice

Preparation

In a blender, put the liquids, eggs, and salt. Add the flour and then the butter. Cover and blend at top speed for 1 minute. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

The batter should be light and creamy. Use a crepe pan or skillet. On medium heat, coat your pan with butter (you want it well greased). Take a quarter cup of batter, pour in the middle of the pan, and using your wrist tilt the pan to evenly spread the batter. When the batter begins to get a little crispy, and edges come loose by shaking the pan, flip the crepe. Cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat, fill with ingredients of choice, and enjoy.

Ingredients

2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 medium onion; chopped fine
4 - 5 ounces diced pancetta
1 can kitchen ready tomatoes or canned Italian tomatoes
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
Salt
3 tbsp freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tbsp freshly grated Romano cheese
1 pound bucatini pasta (penne/rigatoni fine too)

Preparation

Place oil and butter in pan on medium heat

Add onion and sauté until onion becomes translucent and pale golden, then add the pancetta. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring several times while they cook.

Add the tomatoes and crushed red pepper flakes (a pinch is fine. If you prefer spicier, adjust) and bring to a simmer. Adjust the heat to maintain the steady simmer and cook uncovered for about 25 minutes.

Cook the pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water. Subtract one minute from the cooking time instructed on the package. If necessary, reserve one cup of the pasta cooking water before draining to make sauce less thick.

Drain the pasta and add it to the tomato sauce. Toss them together and then add the cheeses. Turn off heat and toss again.

Serve immediately with extra cheese and crushed red pepper.

Ingredients

1 Cup All Purpose Flour
1 ¼ Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 Stick of Unsalted Butter, Softened
¾ Cup Granulated White Sugar
¾ Cup Light Brown Sugar
2 Large Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 ½ Cups Chocolate Chips
½ Cup Chopped Chocolate Chunks
16 Large Marshmallows
4 Chocolate Bars

Preparation

Preheat Oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, & baking powder; set aside.

In a large bowl, using hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1 minutes on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add in granulated sugar and brown sugar and mix on medium speed for another 1 minute. Beat in egg and vanilla until fluffy. Mix in dry ingredients slowing until combined.

Add chocolate chips and mix with spatula to evenly distribute the chocolate chips for about 10 seconds (try not to overmix).

Roll 2-3 tablespoons of dough at a time into balls and place them on your prepared cookie sheets about 1-2 inches apart (highly recommend use a medium #40 cookie scooper to form your cookies).

Bake approximately 8-10 minutes. Take them out when they are just starting to turn brown. Let them sit on the baking pan for 2 minutes before removing to cooling rack.

To assemble the S’mores Galore Cookie Sandwiches, turn one cookie bottom side up. Place one chocolate piece on the bottom and top with torched marshmallow (be sure to get all the sides) and immediately top with another cookie (alternatively place in microwave until marshmallow begin to puff, 15-30 seconds). Repeat and enjoy.
