Pumpkin Scotchies

Pumpkin Scotchies







Yield: 4 dozen







2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup butter, slightly softened

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 Tablespoon vanilla

3 cups old fashioned oats

1 (11 ounce) package butterscotch chips



Preheat oven to 375° F. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats and morsels. Batter will be wet. For thicker cookies, chill cookie dough in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes.



Drop by rounded tablespoon onto parchment lined baking sheets. A cookie scoop works great here because the batter is on the wet side. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes for chewy cookies or 9 to 11 minutes for crisp cookies.



Cool cookies on baking sheets for 2 minutes before you remove to wire racks to cool completely.



It's best to not store cookies in an airtight container. Pumpkin recipes tend to get "wet" as they sit and it's better to let them breathe.

But lastly choosing the Gwen Stacy tale

First, however, viewers need to end up and assistance Webb’s second section in Spider-Man’s newest experience, Watch The Grand Budapest Hotel Online and this one is a great one. Without getting too deep into details, the new movie retells a VERY essential tale in Spidey’s record, focusing on Sincere Parker’s damaged connection with his true love Gwen Stacy (played by the beautiful, glowing and charming Emma Stone). If you have research the comic strips, you know where this is going… and you know it’s limited to harm. Jamie Foxx takes moments with his appearance of put-upon OsCorp worker Max Dillon – who becomes the deadly Electronica. And Dane DeHaan delivers the tramgic John Osborn to lifestyle.



Marc Webb restarted the Spider-Man series with 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man, and now that he’s gotten the source tale out of the way, Watch A Haunted House 2 Online he’s able to take his idol out for a few rotates. However, Webb’s concentrate is not just on this immediate follow up. Sony models has bet big on the lengthy run of The Amazing Spider-Man, introducing applications for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and possible spinoff movies for The Terrifying Six and Venom, if all goes according to strategy.



Principle manufacturing on Superstar Wars: Display VII will start very soon, Watch Oculus Online with most of the capturing being done in the popular Pinewood Companies in Britain, and Wally disney and LucasFilm strategy to have the movie out in cinemas on Dec Eighteenth, 2015. We anticipate to listen to some very, very big details about this follow up soon, so be sure to keep updated in over the next few times.



Interestingly enough, the Due date review also seems to treat the launching of Harrison Honda, Watch Draft Day Online June Fisher and Indicate Hamill like a done cope, despite the factor that Wally disney and LucasFilm have yet to make anything formal. What's more, the tale also contributes that Honda actually has a "gigantic aspect in the first of the next three movies," though that's fairly unverified. It was just exposed previously nowadays that all three of the unique Superstar Conflicts throw associates have been seen in London, uk, which very well could be because they are getting back for the Superstar Wars: Display VII desk research. We can probably anticipate that every news reporter in Britain will be maintaining an incredibly near eye on every activity the number of celebrities take over the new few times, but given the level of secrecy around the movie I wouldn't be amazed if J.J. Abrams had the country develop a few key subterranean channels only for associates of the Superstar Wars: Display VII throw and group

Taco Bell Breakfast Crunch Wrap

2 large flour tortillas

3 eggs

2 tablespoons cheddar cheese

1/2 cup hash browns or 2 fried hash brown patties

4 tablespoons Taco Bell Sauce

4 pieces bacon cooked crisp

non-stick spray

Taco Bell Sauce



Prepare scrambled eggs, by breaking three large eggs into a bowl and whisking them together with a fork. Pour eggs into a non-stick skillet over medium heat that you have sprayed with non-stick spray. Season eggs with salt and pepper, and stir eggs in pan until they have cooked thoroughly. Remove from burner and set eggs aside.



Use a large skillet over medium heat to warm tortillas. Lay tortilla in the skillet, and warm on each side for about 30 seconds. You want the tortilla very pliable. To build the crunch wrap start by adding 1/4 cup cooked hash browns or 1 cooked hash brown patty. Add half of the eggs, 2 tablespoons of the taco bell sauce, 1 tablespoon cheese, and two pieces of bacon crumbled.



To close Crunch Wrap, flip the side closest to you, to the center, then flip the right and left side to the center. Finish by closing the top of the crunch wrap by closing the the right and left side to the center. You will end up with a five sided wrap. Spray the skillet you used to heat the tortilla in with some non-stick spray, heat for about 30-40 seconds on medium heat and then flip the wrap and heat on the other side. Both sides should be golden brown.

5 Minute Homemade Crusty Bread

5 Minute Homemade Crusty Bread





Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day





3 cups water, room temperature or lukewarm

1 1/2 tablespoons granulated yeast (2 packets)

1 1/2 tablespoons kosher or coarse salt

6 1/2 cups unbleached or all-purpose flour



2-3 tablespoons corn meal (for the parchment paper)

2-3 tablespoons additional flour (to shape the dough)



Instructions for Making the Dough:



Put the water, yeast and salt into a large mixing bowl or a Cambro Round 6 Quart Storage Container.

In a separate bowl measure the flour.

Mix in all the flour at once with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook. Stir until the flour is absorbed, kneading is not necessary. This may take a few minutes, and the dough should be firm but loose enough to conform to the shape of the container.

Cover the dough with a lid. Do not snap the lid closed, but allow a small crack on one side. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 2 hours.

The dough is now ready to shape, rise and bake or you can put the container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and use a portion of the dough any time you want fresh baked bread. Note: The refrigerated dough is less sticky and easier to work with than the dough at room temperature.



Instructions for Baking the Dough:



Lay down parchment paper on a cooking sheet and sprinkle with corn meal.

Sprinkle the top of the dough with some flour. Lift approximately 1/4 of the dough from the container, cut off the dough with a serrated knife or clean scissors and shape (don't knead) the dough into the desired shape. To shape the dough just pull the dough under on all sides until it is smooth on top. This should take less than 1 minute.

Place the dough onto the corn meal and let rise 40-90 minutes (no need to cover the dough). The longer it rises the more airy the dough will be. Note: The dough may not rise much during this time, that's ok, it will rise more while baking.

Dust the top of the dough with a little flour and make the slashes 1/4 inch deep in any pattern; a cross, diagonal lines, or tic-tac-toe, with a serrated knife.

Twenty minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 450°F, along with another baking sheet and a cake pan or broiler tray, for holding the water.

Place an empty cake pan or broiler tray on any other shelf that won't interfere with the rising/baking bread.

Being careful, slide the dough onto a very hot baking sheet or stone.

Pour 1 cup of water into the cake pan or broiler tray and close the oven door quickly to trap the steam.

Bake about 25 - 30 minutes (depending on the size of the loaf), or until the crust is nicely browned and firm to the touch.

Cool before cutting, it's hard to wait but it makes for a crusty crust.

Store the rest of the dough in the fridge in the lidded but slightly opened (not airtight) container and use it for up to 14 days. The flavor and texture of the dough improves with time, becoming like sourdough. Even 24 hours of storing the dough in the fridge improves the flavor.

1/2 bunch collard greens center ribs removed, thinly sliced crosswise (about 3 cups)

1/4 medium green cabbage cored and thinly sliced (about 3 cups)

Vegetable oil, for frying

4 (3-ounce) chicken cutlets pounded to 1/4-inch thickness

For the sandwich:

1 frozen waffle

1/2 tablespoon butter

1/2 tablespoon honey



Make the potato salad:

Place the potatoes in a pot of cold water with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and let cool. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, mustards, vinegar, shallot, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing. Quarter the potatoes and toss with the dressing in a large bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Pat chicken dry and coat in flour, dip in egg mixture, and dredge in bread crumbs, pressing to adhere. Repeat with remaining 3 pieces chicken.

Fry 2 pieces chicken until golden brown and cooked through, turning once, 5 to 6 minutes. (The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.) Repeat with remaining 2 pieces chicken. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and drain on a wire rack placed over a sheet tray.

Assemble the sandwich:

Toast the waffle, spread with butter and honey, and cut in half. Place 1 chicken cutlet on a plate and layer with 1/4 cup slaw, 1/2 waffle, and 1/4 cup potato salad. Top with another chicken cutlet to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining chicken cutlets to make a second sandwich.

Banana Split Lasagna

Banana Split Lasagna



2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup butter, melted

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 Tablespoons + 3 1/2 cups cold milk, divided

16 ounces Cool Whip topping, divided

1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained well

2 (3.4 ounce) boxes of banana cream pudding instant pudding

Chocolate syrup

Maraschino cherries (optional, but encouraged!)

Nuts (optional)







Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish; set aside.

In another medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, 2 T of milk, and vanilla with a hand mixer on a medium speed. Mix together until fluffy and light.

Braid the three pieces together until you reach the end of the strips. Using your sealed end as a base, wrap the entire braid around that base. Tuck the braid under the cookie and gently press the cookie flat in your hand.



Repeat until the rest of the dough strips are used up. Arrange cookies on a greased cookie sheet. Brush each cookie with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture.



Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies just start to brown. If you prefer crunchy cookies, cook for a few minutes longer.

Watch A Haunted House 2 Online Directed by Bobby and Chris Farrelly, the filmmakers behind the first movie, Foolish and Dumber To discovers David and Lloyd 20 decades since we last saw them and back on a new experience. David discovers that his brief affair with Fraida Felcher (Kathleen Turner) decades ago led to a little lady that he never realized about, but what creates issues more intense is that she is fed up and needs an body from a friend. He once again groups up with his best friend Lloyd so that they can once again try and preserve the day. Laurie Merc, Rob Riggle, Rachel Melvin, and Bob Tom co-star in the follow up.



Watch Bears Online Even though this is the unusual image (which comes to us via PeliBlog) that comes with a information included right into the taken ("Cool. Relaxing. Foolish. David (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd (Jim Carrey) take a shower"), it still doesn't really do much to describe what the terrible is going on of this type. Where are they that allows them access to such a amazing bit of natural operating water? How did they get their hands on such awesome towels? Are the guys going to become ill and tired from the viruses bath they are indulging in? These are concerns only the movie can provide solutions to.



Watch That Awkward Moment Online In case you are completely behind on the whole "Stan Lee cameo" factor, I would strongly suggest viewing the montage below, which features all of the minutes up until 2012's The Awesome Spider-Man: Foolish and Dumber's David and Lloyd, performed by Indicate Daniels and Jim Carrey respectively, usually find themselves on the go quite a bit. The the first movie they jumped into Harry's dog-shaped pet self care van and took a trip out to Denver to try and come back a "lost" brief-case, and the long run follow up, Foolish and Dumber To, will put them on a trip of a whole different variety. As a result of all this trip, they have to make due with the sources that are available to them and, as you can see in this product new image, that contains looking after individual cleanliness in a fountain.



Watch The Hunger Games 2 Online For the most aspect, Stan Lee has only designed cameo performances in the movies that are depending on figures he designed - from Spider-Man to The Amazing Hulk - and that idea actually ceased him from appearing in both X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Wolverine. That said, he has been known to fold the guidelines a bit, as he did have positions in both Leader The united states movies (Lee didn't make Cap, but he did get back the personality and was the first to have the idol toss his shield). It's true that Stan Lee didn't make the Mother and father of the Universe as a team, but he did make Groot, The Enthusiast, and Ronan The Accuser, so he isn't completely without link to the venture.



Watch Mr Peabody and Sherman Online Lee's positive reaction to the question operates as opposed to the response he provided to the same question long ago in Jan. Showing on videos clip podcast, Lee responded to the Mother and father of the Universe cameo question saying, "No, I’m scared not. This the one group I did not make. I did not create Mother and father of the Universe. I’m not even sure who they all are! I cannot wait to see the movie."



Watch The Lego Movie Online That certainly seems to fit into the strange visual that Gunn has designed for both Mother and father of the Universe and generally his whole profession. Also, it's exciting that Amazing Companies filmmakers are once again coupling Lee with an eye-catching woman. This will be the third time following his aspect as Hugh Hefner in Metal Man to his aspect as a elegance contest assess.



Watch Ride Along Online Ultimately, Just Before I Go is a bad movie that seems more like a mangled tv sequence than a movie. It's creatively boring, psychologically superficial, and -- most severe of all -- disparaging to its viewers on every stage. Not only are the initiatives at crazy more rage-inducing than crazy, the movie itself restates exposition and repeat the same number of flashbacks so much that it seems Courteney Cox believes her viewers is designed up of dummies with the interest period of fish. I completely disliked this movie. I disliked it so much that I marvel it was approved to the festival at all. I dislike it so much that my viewpoint of every participant of its toss has been harm. And I actually disliked it so much that I experienced actually ill by a lot of time its attributes lastly combined. I truly can't keep in mind that every occurring before. So if Just Before I Go has achieved anything, it's that it is so wretched it's actually grosse.



According to Wide range, Lee was getting fan concerns when he was asked if he would be shooting a unique overall look for an area in Mother and father of the Universe and he reacted, "I did already. I cannot tell you what it is, but I can tell you I do not know what it was or why I did it. It has me with a lady — a very pretty lady — that is all I can tell you."




So it may be a while before we actually get to see?

So it may be a while before we actually get to see?



Watch The Other Woman Online The whole installation actually seems like an summarize for an "edgy" comedy that was retrofitted into a shateringly awkward movie. Just Before I Go is overstuffed with figures, from a nonsensically vicious grandpa to a lesbian Elvis-impersonator stepmother to a camel-toe wearing oversexed cop and so on and on and on. Plus, there are subplots of killing, arriving out, issues, and queries for the local reaction to the Loch Liness Beast that are never given a lot of your energy and effort to effectively create, creating a story line that is incredible and incoherent for being far too compacted.



Watch The Amazing Spider Man 2 Online This type of surprisingly unpleasant crazy could maybe have proved helpful if Cox had designed a increased world, like It's Always Warm in Chicago, illinois where the figures experience a fantasy enough that we can have a good laugh care-free at what terrible individuals they are. But her route didn't force for these type of theatrical activities, which indicates she way for us to correspond with these individuals, who are just among the most dreadful representations of humanity ever collected in one movie. Vicious and unfunny crazy aside, Just Before I Go is a creatively unpleasant movie that looks like a sloppily taken TV lead, with slapdash preventing and uninspired creating.



Watch That Awkward Moment Online Maybe you like Courteney Cox and/or her collection enough that you suspicious I'm overreacting. For that, I provide a narrow your search of the film's most harsh minutes, like a teenager boy outed as gay because he attracts a actual dish of cocks, or when that same boy amusingly phone calls his black associate the n-word, when a upset cop shouts "he's gone full-on retard!" It's difficult to decide which moment in this clusterfuck is most unpleasant, but this range of conversation verbal by the heavyset Marsh is a competitor that attracted sensible gasps of outrage in my testing, "To us big women with five kids, goodness is like a supper gong. Band it and we'll answer." I could go on, but I'll extra you.



Watch Draft Day Online Scott has become a expert with irreverent crazy, providing outstanding changes in Role Designs and Goon that were both shifting and extremely crazy. But even he can't preserve this mean-spirited movie from its spoiled primary. Actually, not even the combined benefit of its amazing toss that contains Garret Dillahunt, Kate Walsh, Rob Riggle, Mackenzie Marsh, and Missi Pyle can. Just Before I Go is too full of improper, misogynistic, homophobic and otherwise nasty content to be restored.



Watch Rio 2 Online Written by Anxious Average women scribe Bob Flebotte, Just Before I Go celebrities Seann Bill Scott as a taking once life man who profits to his neighborhood to tie up reduce finishes before offing himself. His pail record contains squealing at his violent old instructor, kickboxing out his child years intimidate, and reconnecting with his quality university grind. Along the way, he satisfies a nosey younger woman (Olivia Thirlby) who causes herself into his trip under the guise of creating videos clip destruction observe for him.



Watch 300 Rise of an Empire Online If you're not intersted in seeing the movie after that information, I'm not sure how to help you. Foolish and Dumber To will be in cinemas on Nov Fourteenth. Mother and father of the Universe will be in cinemas on Aug 1st, and we can't wait to see what Lee's aspect is. Before seeing her function directorial first appearance Just Before I Go, I never could have thought just how infuriated I could be at Courteney Cox. But this black crazy is disparaging and unpleasant in just about every way possible. It doesn't comprehend the range between irreverent crazy and unpleasant humor. Actually, it doesn't seem to know there is one. As I experienced through the including on of the unpalatable "jokes" and shocking conversation that creates up the most severe The Tribeca Film Event had to provide, I resented the 95 minutes of my lifestyle I was providing to this rubbish, and Cox for considering it was worth displaying the world at all.



Dumb and Dumber To isn't organized to hit cinemas until around Christmas, so it may be a while before we actually get to see the movie. That said, around now last 1 month I actually got to see a lot of movie from the movie during the Worldwide Images demonstration at the yearly CinemaCon expo in Las Las vegas. You can read my complete information of what I got to see right HERE, but you can tell a lot about the movie from its starting field alone: "Beginning with what may very well be the first minutes of the movie, the Foolish and Dumber To baitcasting reel started in a psychological medical center where David (Jeff Daniels) has obviously been going to Lloyd (Jim Carrey) for about 20 decades. A couple of nursing staff discuss how charming their connection is, and we see Lloyd for initially, now wearing a grizzly hairs and generally catatonic in a wheel chair. David pleads for his friend to just say something… and it’s at that factor that Lloyd looks up and says, "Gotcha!" exposing that he has been acting his coma-esque condition whole time. "

1 tablespoon Kraft® mayonnaise -- divided

1 tablespoon Heinz® ketchup

1/2 tablespoon Heinz® hamburger relish (the red stuff)

3 Vlasic® hamburger slices

1 tomato slice - (to 2)

3 white onion rings - (to 4)

1 handful chopped lettuce



Pre-Prepare your Condiments: Mix 1 tablespoon ketchup with 1/2 tablespoon

relish, set aside. Chop the lettuce; you'll need a handful per burger.

Obviously you'll do this in advance.

the bun (top and bottom) on a 375 degree electric griddle. They should be

an even tan color.



Cooking your Famous Star®: Preheat either an outdoor gas barbecue, or an

indoor electric one. After it is pre-heated, place a still-frozen beef

patty on the grill, pressing down firmly for 4 to 5 seconds (this will get

you the grill marks). Salt liberally. Cook for 3 minutes (gas) or 5 to 6

minutes (electric). Eyeball it -- if it looks ready to turn, turn it.

Top Half: Your pre-mixed special sauce (ketchup and relish); 1/2

tablespoon mayonnaise.



Bottom Half: 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise; 3 pickle slices; 1 handful of

chopped iceberg lettuce; 1 to 2 tomato slices; 3 to 4 fresh rings of

onion.



Turn the beef patty over, press down firmly with a spatula for 3 to 4

seconds, and salt liberally. (Don't be afraid to have a few flames

"kiss" the burger...they are charbroiled)



Place the cooked beef patty on the dressed bottom bun, add the top, and
