I've made this Perfect Queso Dip recipe twice now, and I concluded that I simply bought the wrong type of Queso. I bought "Queso Fresco" and it crumbles in the way feta does. It never truly melted in my Queso dip, so I wound up with a soupy liquid with cheese curds. I have since purchased Queso Quesadilla which bragged about it's melt on the packaging, and I'm hoping for better results. The overall flavor was the most similar to what I've had in restaurants, so I'm feeling pretty optimistic about this one! I also found the Queso Quesadilla with jalapenos in it, so I'll experiment with that at some point too.
I made Alton Brown's Cocoa Brownies recipe recently as well (and added M&Ms) and oooooohhhhh man are these good!!! They're dense, gooey brownies. The M&Ms worked really well, and I think lots of other things could be added (coconut? nuts? PB chips? toffee? peppermints?) and be very tasty. I would recommend serving these with milk, whipped cream, or even vanilla ice cream!
This afternoon I will make, and tomorrow morning I will bake these Cream Cheese Biscuits. I had Cream Cheese Biscuits at Whole Foods recently and loved them, and I'm hoping this will be a recreation at home! Side note: I never have buttermilk on hand, so I usually make a substitute. TheKitchn suggests combining 1TB white vinegar with 1 scant cup milk and letting it sit for 10 minutes, or thinning sour cream or yogurt with milk.
Bright and early tomorrow morning while I'm baking biscuits I'll also be starting No-Knead Chewy Sandwich Rolls for cold cut sub lunches! I'm not too good with this type of baking, but I'm excited to be trying it out!
