Roasted Garlic

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb skin, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact. Using a knife, cut off 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of garlic.

Place the garlic heads in a baking pan; muffin pans work well for this purpose. Drizzle a couple teaspoons of olive oil over each head, using your fingers to make sure the garlic head is well coated. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves feel soft when pressed. 
 
Allow the garlic to cool enough so you can touch it without burning yourself. Use a small small knife cut the skin slightly around each clove. Use a cocktail fork or your fingers to pull or squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.



Other ideas: Can be spread over warm French bread, mixed with sour cream for a topping for baked potatoes, or mixed in with Parmesan and pasta.

Guinness® Corned Beef



4 pounds corned beef brisket
1 cup brown sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Irish stout beer (e.g. Guinness®)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F . Rinse the beef completely and pat dry.

Place the brisket on rack in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Rub the brown sugar on the corned beef to coat entire beef, including the bottom. Pour the bottle of stout beer around, and gently over the beef to wet the sugar.

Cover, and place in preheated oven. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.

An Extra Kick for Adults:

Sauteed Brussels Sprouts

Wash the sprouts and dry

Cut the ends off and split the sprouts in half

Mince 1 clove of garlic and 1 shallot

Heat the saute pan on high heat until it is hot. Add a few table spoon of olive oil and place the Brussels sprouts flat side down. Let it saute in the pan without touching it for 1-2 mins to caramelize the bottom

Add a pinch of salt and pepper

Add the minced shallots and garlic Stir or toss the brussels sprouts in the pan to mix

De-glaze the pan a white wine/water/ or in my case I used Sake and Mirin

Cook until the liquid has evaporated, turn the heat off and place a lid over it

For the kids:
During the last hour, you may put vegetables in the roasting pan as well. Try a wedge of cabbage, new potatoes, onion, carrots, etc. You may need to add a little more beer with your vegetables.

Whoopee Pies


No one is certain who invented the whoopee pie; folks in both Pennsylvania Amish country and Maine have claimed it. As for the name, one theory is that it comes from children saying "whoopee!" upon finding the moist, chocolaty sweets in their lunch pails. Your kids can experience the same glee after baking their own -- and with pink-tinted filling, the pies will elicit cries of joy on Valentine's Day.


CAKES
    2 cups flour
    ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    ½ teaspoon salt
    1 cup buttermilk
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    ½ cup softened butter
    1 cup sugar
    1 egg +
    FILLING
    ½ cup softened butter
    1½ cups confectioners' sugar
    1 cup marshmallow creme
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    Red food coloring (optional)
Heat the oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
In a large bowl with a hand mixer set at medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until evenly blended, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the egg, increase the speed to high, and beat until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute more.
Pour half the flour mixture into the butter-sugar mixture, and beat at medium speed until combined. Add the buttermilk mixture and continue beating until just blended. Add the remaining flour mixture and beat again.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to place a heaping tablespoon of batter on a prepared cookie sheet. Add more mounds of batter, evenly spacing them, until there are nine on each sheet. Slightly flatten each mound with a spoon.
Bake the cakes one sheet at a time for 10 minutes (they should be moist and spongy). Let them cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a rack to cool completely. Reline the sheets and scoop, shape, and bake the remaining batter.
Using an electric mixer at medium-high speed, beat all the filling ingredients except the coloring in a medium bowl until evenly blended, about 2 minutes. If you want to give the filling a Valentine hue, fold in drops of red food coloring until the desired tint is reached.
To make each pie, spoon and spread a heaping tablespoon of the filling onto the bottom of a cake, then gently press another cake on top.

Cupcakes for Cupid





Cupid's arrow hits the mark with these heart-shaped treats. To create the heart shape, place a small marble or a 1/2-inch ball of aluminum foil between each liner and one side of the tin (a great job for kids). This will push the paper into the batter to form the notch in the heart. You can use boxed cake or homemade.
