Lap It Up, Fuzzball Fluffy Irish Cream Frosting

I have such a weakness for Irish cream.  One of my favorites -- if not my favorite -- form of alcohol.  And now that I've discovered that I can make frosting out of it?  Please send help, my waistline weeps.

But send a cake along with the help, because I've got this great frosting, see, and we could frost a cake with it ...

This makes the perfect amount to put on top of one single layer of cake.  I'd triple it for a double-layer cake you want to cover on all sides.

Cheers!

Lap It Up, Fuzzball Irish Cream Frosting

Ingredients
Single layer
1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3 Tbsp butter, softened
6 Tbsp Irish cream whiskey

Double layer
3 cup confectioners' sugar
6 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
6 Tbsp butter, softened
3/4 cup Irish cream whiskey

Triple layer
4 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
9 Tbsp butter, softened
1 1/2 cup Irish cream whiskey


Instructions
  • In a mixing bowl, using a spatula, combine all ingredients.
  • Using an electric mixer, mix for a minute or two, or until it's fluffy and lighter in color.
Yeah, that's it.  Easy, delicious, absolutely terrible for you.  Food of the gods, at least those that hang out on Kashyyyk.

Pesto Pizza Monkey Bread

This recipe has been almost entirely copied from this amazing site , but I'm putting it here because a) things have a tendency to disappear off the internet, and b) I made a few modifications, and since the outcome was so unbearably tasty, I'd like to have a record of what I did so I can do it again. This recipe is not good for you . This is one of those recipes that's all "you bike 60+ miles a week and eat fresh veggies all the time, so you can probably survive this." It's really worth it. Which is good, because I'm going to need  to make this recipe, probably more than a few times a year. I'll say it makes 8 servings, but they're large servings. It'd make an excellent snack for guests (we're thinking it'll be nice to make when my mother-in-law visits, for example, because after the long train-ride, she always wants to just eat a little something and drink until she forgets how many hours she's spent on a train) but it also mad

Roasted Layered Veggie Awesome

I honestly don't recall what led me to  this recipe , originally, though I suspect it was either a) Buzzfeed or b) "I want chickpeas and sweet potatoes, let's see what recipes the internet has to offer me in that arena." Either way, I made this dish for the first time on a night I was too tired to cook, and it was terribly good to me, taking only about 10 minutes of effort and providing a really, really tasty meal. ... one which just needed a few little edits to make it purely awesome. Layered awesome. Layered roasted awesome. Made of veggies. (I'm tired and uncreative tonight, lemme alone.) PS If I have to scroll past like 50 photos and a bunch of rambling to get to your recipe, you're probably doing it wrong. I'm here for the food, not for your blogging. Ugh. Anyway. Roasted Layered Veggie Awesome Ingredients 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1/2" chunks 1 tbsp olive oil 1/4 tsp red chili flakes 15 oz

Pescatarian Surf 'n Turf

In case it's not been made ABUNDANTLY clear, I am 100% in love with my veggie noodle spiralizer , which was initially an impulse buy that I regretted so much that I ignored it for ... six months? before trying it out. Yes, I am regretting those six months, why do you ask. Anywhatsit, I've used the thing like six times in the past three days and have absolutely no intention of stopping any time soon. It's like I'm able to eat food again, but without all the bloating and sluggishness that usually comes with pasta. It's liberating. I am in love. This is THE PERFECT summer dish to prepare on a work-night because it takes very little actual active time to make, giving you plenty of time to shower and stuff. Oh, and it's not hot and heavy (*sner*) so it's good to eat when the outdoors is trying to act like an oven. Give it a go! Pescatarian Surf 'n Turf Ingredients 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp minced garlic (1 clove) 2 tsp minced ginger 1 tbsp rice v
