#10/52: Crispy Oven Baked Onion Ring Recipe

March 12, 2012 by info@3QuartersToday.com

Yes, I admit it, I love Pinterest and this Baked Onion Ring recipe was one of the first to get me hooked. Maybe because I’m such a visual person. Half the time I search Google by Google images, so why didn’t I think of Pinterest? I have a Favorite Foods (surprised, not) board that I’m going to have to divide into sub categories pretty soon.

Below is my rendition of the Low Fat Baked Onion Rings. I had my doubts that oven backed rings would be crunchy. Not only did I like them, but so did every one else. They were soooooo good. Thanks to Skinnytaste.com for posting them originally

Since I adapted the recipe a little (don’t I always) I posted my own picture, but if you want to check out the original visit my Favorite Food board

1 medium onion, sliced into 1/4 inch rings
2 1/4 cups milk + 1 TBSP vinegar (original called for buttermilk, which I never have)
2 cups finely crushed bread crumbs
1/4 cup crushed corn flake crumbs
salt and pepper to taste
Parsley, garlic powder, seasonings to taste and preference
olive oil baking spray

1. Slice onions and let soak in milk/vinegar mixture for one hour in refrigerator

2. Preheat oven to 450F

3. Line cookie sheet with tin foil and spray with olive baking spray

4. Mix seasonings and bread crumbs in bowl, set half aside for 2nd half of dipping. (Helps prevent clumping)

5. Remove onions from milk and dip in breading mix.

6. Place on tin foil, spray with olive oil and bake for 12 minutes.

Day 312: Cinnamon Rolls

November 24, 2011 by info@3QuartersToday.com

Normally I like the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in a tube, you know the ones found in the dairy case. Homemade cinnamon rolls can be too sticky and sweet for me, I like the bread texture.

Now I have found a better substitute, Rhodes cinnamon rolls. We had them in church and they were fantastic. It you remember to take them out the night before you can fix them in the morning, otherwise the “fast” ride method in the oven works in just 1 1/2 hours. Delicious!!!

If you love Cinnamon Rolls you can even get cinnamon bun flavored lip gloss. That way you can enjoy the taste all day long whenever you like. I do know a few people who might actually buy this. In fact it would be a good Christmas stocking gift for my boys.

Day 287/365: The Best Caramel Apple Dip in the World

November 8, 2011 by info@3QuartersToday.com

The Worlds Best Caramel Apple Dip

Found this Caramel Apple Dip recipe several years ago, and it’s the best I’ve every had. I should know, I’m a caramel apple addict. Every year I lose my index card and have to dig for it again, but it always turns up in a drawer, or my recipe box, in the wrong section.

So I’m posting it here for posterity, then I can always do a search where ever I am. Yes, the recipe is at the bottom and I did eat all the apples on the plate and the 1/2 cup of dip in the bowl. Yes, I’m a pig, oink, oink, smile.

The fastest way I’ve found to slice apples is obviously with a STURDY heavy duty apple slicer, don’t get the cheap variety, but the ones with big handles for lots of leverage. If you’re slicing lots of apples, say for a Fall Harvest Party or a Halloween get together then you will want to treat them so they won’t turn brown.

You can soak your apples in a bowl of water mixed with either citric acid and water (found in canning supplies) pineapple juice, lemon juice, or a salt water bath. The choice is yours. Here are a few suggestions

Honey and Water: 2 TBSP per cup of water
Salt Water: 1/8 teaspoon per sup of water
Lemon Juice and Water: 1 Tablespoon per cup of water
Fruitfresh: 1 teaspoon per cup water

Caramel Apple Dip Recipe

Here’s the recipe as I found it in Taste of Home’s Simple & Delicious magazine 2006

Ingredients & Directions

1 package (14 oz) caramels
20 large marshmallows
1/2 cup butter, melted (mmm butter)
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream (full octane cream, mmmm)
Apple slices

Place caramels in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1 minute.
Add marshmallows (which in my opinion don’t count as sugar) ;
Microwave for 1 minute or until marshmallows are melted, stirring occasionally.
Whisk in butter and cream until combined.
Serve with apple slices. Refrigerate leftovers.

Yield 2 1/2 cups

I have made this every year and every year it is a hit. The last time was for a football and harvest moon party and I made a double batch and kept the dip warm in a small slow cooker. Seriously, there were kids filling cups of caramel to and scooping it out like candy. I’m the same way, my husband asks me, “Having some apples with your dip”, yup, this apple dip it THAT good!
