April Fool's 2017- "Grilled cheese & onion rings"

Mother nature pulled its own joke on us here in New England yesterday- plowable snow, so I'm posting this a day late. 

First up, the "grilled cheese".  I used a boxed angel food cake mix, baked in 2 loaf pans.  I carefully sliced it after it was completely cooled and then browned it in the skillet in a little butter.  For the cheese, I warmed a little marshmallow fluff and mixed in orange food coloring.  

I made the apple rings using this recipe from Donna via Tasty Kitchen.   I only had vegetable oil on hand.   I didn't make the Cinnamon cream. Laid out on the plate-


I was photographing some other recipes I'd made, so I invited him to sit with me and have lunch while I took them.  I've had some great success with pranks on Jake in the past, but this time he caught on to me pretty quickly.  He hesitated at the "onion rings", but didn't say anything.



 The sandwich "cheese" color was a little off, and of course, it wasn't hot.





I told him next year, we'll have to team up and prank dad instead  :)

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
