I really enjoy having cream cheese in my taquitos. I don’t know why, but I just love it.

In addition to adding cream cheese I added some plain Greek yogurt and salsa. And of course the salsa adds major flavor, so use a salsa you like!

We love medium salsa so that’s what I used.

If you’re constantly battling an unhealthy snacking habit or you need to curb your sweet tooth, this recipe will be your saving grace!

Snacks are inevitable. I can’t be the only one fighting off hunger pains come 10am and 3pm! If you’re like me, I have some portable, healthy(ish) recipes for you to try:

Beet hummus served with homemade naan bread
Oatmeal raisin energy bites – taste just like an oatmeal raisin cookie!

English Pancakes

Salt & Baker — Fri, 30 Aug 2019 06:30:31 +0000

Traditional English pancakes are essentially a thin crepe that has been lightly brushed with melted butter, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a sprinkle of granulated sugar. At least, that’s how I like to eat them! My mom would make English Pancakes for breakfast on holidays (like Christmas, Thanksgiving, my birthday) or when we had guests over. This recipe holds a special place in my heart because it’s one that was passed down from my late grandma Baker.

There’s definitely no shortage of breakfast recipes around here. A few of my absolute favorites are my fluffy buttermilk pancakes, buttermilk waffles, and baked oatmeal cups.

Every few weeks I like to make this English pancake recipe and over the years I’ve really come to master it. Although, it’s not really a recipe that requires mastering, haha. It consists of simply mixing eggs, flour, and milk together. The trickiest part would be making the actual pancake without tearing them.

Ingredients needed to make English Pancakes

You need only a few ingredients to make these English pancakes/crepes.

Eggs
Flour
Milk

For the toppings you’ll need:

Melted butter
Lemon juice
Granulated sugar

Pro tip: you can forgo the lemon juice and sugar and dollop some Greek yogurt whipped cream with a drizzle of raspberry sauce. YUM!

Cosmic Brownies

Salt & Baker — Mon, 26 Aug 2019 06:00:17 +0000

Back to school has me feeling all the feels for old school treats, these Cosmic Brownies being one of them. Let me be very clear, these copycat cosmic brownies are rich, ultra fudgy, and moist. Yep! Not a dry crumb can be found.

We take that perfectly dense brownie base and top it with a decadent and silky chocolate ganache. These beautiful chocolate treats put Little Debbies Cosmic Brownies to shame.

I’ve been making some amazing desserts recently, Nutella Brownies have been really popular around here as have my brownie cookies.

But today we’re going to dive into these cosmic brownies. I couldn’t. Stop. Eating. Them.

And before we continue I have to point out the photo below because it illustrates just how dense and fudgy the brownie base truly is.

And the ganache!! It’s perfection. If you’ve struggled with ganache in the past, don’t fret because I’m sharing some great tips and tricks to get that perfect silky smooth chocolate ganache.

How to Toast Coconut

Salt & Baker — Fri, 23 Aug 2019 06:30:27 +0000

Today I’m sharing a complete guide on how to toast coconut. I’d be willing to bet you’ve read a recipe that lists “toasted coconut” as an ingredient. If this is you, one of the first things you’ll think is, “How do you toast coconut?!” Luckily, it’s very simple! And there are multiple ways one can go about successfully toasting coconut.

Methods used to toast coconut

The 3 methods I’ll touch base on today are:

Toasting coconut in the oven
Toasting coconut in the microwave
Toasting coconut on the stove (in a skillet)

I definitely have a favorite method. And we’re going to discuss it first!

But before we jump into that, lets go over why you’d want to toast coconut in the first place.
