Full of Fall flavors, bits of bacon and dripping with maple glaze, this Maple Bacon Pull-Apart Bread from @delish is sweet and savory – and super-easy to put together! I found this recipe on Delish, and I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – Delish has a TON of amazing recipes, including the one I’m featuring today! I gave their unlimited membership a try last year, so I am speaking from my own (read: they are not paying me for this review) experiences. The membership cost me $20 for the year, and it includes a wonderful year-long subscription to their quarterly magazine filled with delicious (and easy!) recipes, unlimited access to Delish recipes, members-only access to a one-on-one hotline to ask for help from their food editors, and other wonderful bonuses. You can learn more about their membership here; this is a code I found online, as I believe the normal cost is $35/year, but this code looks like you can still get it for $20/year, which is great! I have found it to be extremely useful, although I have not yet taken advantage of their hotline – yet.

For this recipe, I used the Stone Loaf Pan, which I’ve used for meatloaf and, of course, sandwich bread

Stone Loaf Pan

Loaf Pan

Bakers and bread makers love how yeast breads, pound cakes, banana breads, and quick breads turn out beautifully golden brown and evenly cooked, every time. This versatile pan can also be used to make stuffing, tender and juicy meatloaf, and more.

Natural Clay Cookware

Our unglazed stoneware is made with our new StoneFusion material making it our strongest and most durable stoneware yet. You can pre-heat, broil, and even put it in the dishwasher. Each piece features a ribbon pattern, so you can easily distinguish it from your original unglazed stones. Like all our stones, you can use it to make your favorite baked goods, frozen foods, or reheated leftovers that are just as good or better than day one. And it only gets better with age. A nonstick seasoning will develop as you use it—the darker it looks, the better it cooks!

Made in the USA

Product Details

  • 9″ x 5″ x 3″ (23 cm x 13 cm x 7.5 cm) high
  • 6-cup (1.4-L) capacity
  • Microwave-, freezer, oven-, dishwasher-, and broiler-safe to 550°F (287°C)
  • Pan scraper included for easy cleanup

Ingredients

  • 16.3 – ounce tube refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Cook bacon in oven that’s been preheated to 400°F/200⁰C for 20-22 minutes, or until golden. Let cool, then crumble into pieces; set aside.

Turn oven temperature down to to 300°F/150⁰C.

Cut each biscuit in half to create 16 rounds. Mix melted butter with 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Brush on both sides of each biscuit round.

In a medium bowl, combine both sugars and the salt. Coat each biscuit in the sugar mixture, tapping off excess.

Make your stack: onto one biscuit, sprinkle a handful crumbled bacon and cover with another biscuit. Repeat this process until all bacon and biscuits are used, ending on a biscuit.

Place your biscuit stacks into the loaf pan on their sides, so the layers stand upright. If you have any extra maple butter, brush the top of the loaf. Bake until biscuits are puffy and golden, about 40 minutes. Let cool slightly and remove from pan.

While cooling, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk milk and maple syrup into powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over warm loaf and serve.

That’s a wrap! I’d love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment below. Your feedback means a lot to me! Together, we’re making kitchen life easier, one Pampered Chef tool at a time.

Tender meat and veggies in a deliciously rustic gravy, this Braised Chicken is comfort food at its best! This recipe comes from Victor over at Craving Tasty. You can learn more about Victor here and, rest assured, I’ll be heading back there for more amazing food!

For this recipe, I used my Pampered Chef 12″ (30-cm) Signature Nonstick Skillet and our new Garlic Prep Tool and  Black Garlic Seasoning Mix:

Garlic Prep Tool:

Prep Garlic Your Way

Sliced and diced garlic, and everything in between can change the final flavor and intensity in your meals. Get the perfect prep every time with this versatile garlic prep tool. Roll your garlic clove in the helpful peeler to get rid of its skin, then slice, dice, or paste all with the same tool. Clean the blades easily with the included brush and cleaning plates perfect for removing leftover garlic bits—and the whole tool is dishwasher-safe!

  • Sliced: When you slice garlic, you’ll get a mild flavor in a dish. Great for sautés and stir fries. You’ll get some bites of fresh garlic and will see it throughout the dish.
  • Diced: Fairly strong flavor. Great for chili, pasta sauce, or soup when they are simmered for a while.
  • Pressed: Pressed garlic provides a bold, intense garlic taste to a dish. Great for salad dressings, soups, sauces, marinades, and dips. It distributes easily into dishes.
  • Paste: Garlic paste is the strongest form of garlic flavor since the entire clove has been broken down. Soups and cooked sauces.

Guarantee

  • 3-year guarantee

Product Details

  • Includes pasting plate, silicone peeler, clear container, cleaning plates, and cleaning brush
  • Stainless steel slicing and dicing blades

Black Garlic Seasoning Mix:

Bold Black Garlic Flavor

This bold, rich seasoning is a mix of black garlic with herbs and a hint of sweetness that adds a savory note to any recipe. It’s ideal for recipes that call for garlic powder, like soups, roasts, or stuffing. Add a sprinkle of this mix to olive oil for a delicious dip for bread.

What Is Black Garlic?

Black garlic is garlic cloves that have been aged in temperature- and humidity-controlled conditions. This fermentation process turns the garlic cloves black, and gives them a milder flavor with sweeter, smokier, and tangier flavor notes than traditional garlic.

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken quarters or substitute chicken breasts or drumsticks
  • 1 teaspoon Black Garlic Seasoning Mix or substitute Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • 4 tablespoons butter divided
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium onions cut into ½” slices
  • 3 carrots cut into 1” pieces
  • 3 celery stalks cut into ½” pieces
  • 6 cloves garlic sliced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons flat parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions

Prep vegetables – slice onions into ½” slices, peel and cut carrots into 1” slices, cut celery into ½” pieces, and slice garlic.

Season the chicken with Black Garlic Seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Preheat oven to 350°F/175⁰C.

Add two tablespoons of the butter, along with the olive oil to the skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once butter is foamy, add chicken to pan skin side down, cover and cook 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is nicely browned.  Flip chicken, cover and cook another 3-4 minutes, then remove from pan and set aside.

Turn the temperature up to medium-high and add the onions, carrots, and celery.  Cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to caramelize. Add in the garlic, stirring for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Add the rest of the butter to the vegetables and when melted, add in the flour.  Stir constantly to fully incorporate the flour with the melted butter and vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the flour turns a light brown and has a nutty aroma.

Pour in the chicken stock, stirring gently to combine. Remove from heat, then stir in the red wine vinegar.  Nestle the chicken pieces back into the pan with the gravy and vegetables.  Cover and bake for 2.5-3 hours.

Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with mashed potatoes or jasmine rice, if desired.

Easy-to-make, this Pumpkin Cheesecake Roll is moist, flavorful, and by using mascarpone for the sweet filling, you’ll elevate this to a five-star dessert to complement any meal or holiday gathering!

I found this recipe on Delish, and I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – Delish has a TON of amazing recipes, including the one I’m featuring today! I gave their unlimited membership a try last year, so I am speaking from my own (read: they are not paying me for this review) experiences.

I have found it to be extremely useful, although I have not yet taken advantage of their hotline – yet.

One ingredient I used that they didn’t was mascarpone cheese, which is like cream cheese, except that it tastes a bit sweeter and buttery.  Yummy!

For this recipe, I used my Stone Bar Pan, Deluxe Stand Mixer, and Slice ‘N Serve:

Magic in the Mixing

Whether you’re baking a batch of cookies or making a meal for your entire family, the Deluxe Stand Mixer is there for you. It has no-guess presets that automatically reach the ideal time and speed, so you’ll never under- or over-mix your batter again! You can use the Custom setting to set a specific time and choose from 8 manual speeds to prepare recipes you already know and love.

Plus, the Deluxe Stand Mixer goes beyond baking! Use the scraping beater to shred chicken and mash potatoes, the whisk to whip yogurt and whipped cream, and the dough hook to knead pizza dough. And if you’re not sure which accessory to use, the LCD display clearly shows you the recommended accessory for your chosen preset along with the time and mixing speed, so you can mix anything from meatloaf to sweet dough like a pro.

Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Roll

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

For the Filling

  • 12-ounces mascarpone cheese can substitute cream cheese
  • 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar plus more for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F/175⁰C.

Line Stone Bar Pan or jelly roll pan with parchment paper.  Add all ingredients for pumpkin roll in large bowl, whisking until combined. Pour into parchment-lined pan, spreading to fill completely. Bake 15 minutes, or until cake tested inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Layout a large kitchen towel on the counter; dust with powdered sugar.  Lift pumpkin cake from stone, and immediately flip onto towel. Gently remove parchment paper and dust with more powdered sugar (optional). Starting at the short end, with the towel wrapped around it, tightly (but GENTLY) roll cake into a log. Allow to cool for approximately 45 minutes – 1 hour.

To Make the Filling

Add all filling ingredients to stand mixer (or bowl with handheld mixer) and beat on medium-high until smooth.

Put Together

Spread filling all over the cake, then re-roll and dust with more powdered sugar.

Slice and Serve.

Filled with tender pork and delicious vegetables, these Filipino Spring rolls made in the Air Fryer come out incredibly crispy and full of flavor! You won’t be able to stop at just one, and since you can make these at home, you won’t have to!

What is lumpia? Wikipedia explains:

Lumpia are various types of spring rolls commonly found in the Philippines[1] and Indonesia.[2] Lumpia are made of thin paper-like or crepe-like pastry skin called “lumpia wrapper” enveloping savory or sweet fillings.[3] It is often served as an appetizer or snack, and might be served deep fried or fresh (unfried). Lumpia are Filipino and Indonesian adaptations of the Fujianese and Teochew popiah, which was created during the 17th century in the former Spanish colonial era.[4][5]

In the Philippines, lumpia is one of the most common dishes served in gatherings and celebrations.[6] In Indonesia lumpia has become a favorite snack,[7] and is known as a street hawker food in the country.[8]

In the Netherlands and Belgium, it is spelled loempia, the old Indonesian spelling, which has also become the generic name for “spring roll” in Dutch.[7] A variant is the Vietnamese lumpia, wrapped in a thinner pastry, though still close in size to a spring roll, in which the wrapping closes the ends off completely, which is typical for lumpia.

Once I tasted them, I knew I wanted to learn how to make them. I made them with several different recipes, but was not a fan of one in particular. This recipe is something I’ve come up with through trial and error, and I hope that you’ll let me know what you think of my version.

For this recipe, , rather than deep frying, I used our Deluxe Air Fryer, along with the 12″ (30-cm) Signature Nonstick Skillet:

Ingredients

  • One 16-ounce package of lumpia or Egg Roll wrappers
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/3 cup diced carrots
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1/3 cup green onions, finely diced
  • ½ cup thinly sliced green cabbage
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1-pound ground pork
  • 12-ounce can water chestnuts, drained, and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons water to seal wrapper

Instructions

Dice garlic and carrots; peel and grate ginger. Dice onion and green onions.

Slice Green Cabbage.

Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.  Add onions, garlic, ginger, carrots and cabbage.  Cook 4-5 minutes, until onion is translucent.

Add in the ground pork, and cook another 6-8 minutes, or until pork is cooked through. Add water chestnuts, salt, pepper, soy sauce, green onion, and cilantro.  Cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat, allow to cool.

Make Lumpia:

Take one lumpia or egg roll wrapper and place in diamond shape.  Brush edges of wrapper with water. Place two tablespoons of pork mixture onto the bottom of the wrapper, being sure to leave approximately 1.5 inches of space at the bottom of the wrapper.

Fold the bottom portion of the wrapper over the pork, then roll once. Press down both sides close to pork, then fold the sides in like an envelope.  Roll to the top, set aside. Continue to do this until all lumpia are prepared. 

Spray air fryer trays lightly with oil, then place lumpia on trays.  Air Fry 14-16 minutes, until wrappers are crispy, switching trays halfway through.

Serve with sweet chili sauce, if desired.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 cups sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups Gruyere cheese shredded

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add flour, whisking for one full minute until beginning to bubble, and slightly golden in color.

Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking to fully incorporate.  Once mixture is bubbling and thick, continue to whisk and cook an additional 2 minutes, adding salt and pepper to taste. 

Add four cups of the Gruyere and cheddar cheese to the mixture one cup at a time, whisking between each addition to combine.

Add the pasta to the cheese sauce, gently stirring until pasta is fully incorporated with the cheese.

Transfer half of the macaroni and cheese to a 9 x 13 baker, followed by the remaining shredded Gruyere and cheddar cheeses. Top with the remainder of the pasta.

Make the Topping:

Combine Panko crumbs, smoked paprika, and melted butter. Pour over macaroni and cheese.

Notes

I find that this recipe turns out the best when using freshly grated cheese, as the preservatives in pre-shredded cheese doesn’t allow for the best melting. However, you can certainly use what you have on hand.
Store cooled leftover mac and cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to three days.
