Found on the west side of Station Park, right next to Blaze Pizza, this small shop offers the best desserts in Davis County.  You think im kidding?  Check this out.

In addition to having a whole slew of cookie dough flavors, they have a million ways to serve it, they even have ice cream and for those little fur babies, a cup of their cookie dough made especially for dogs.  How awesome!DoughCo Doggie Cookie Dough

What kind of Dough do they have at DoughCo?

Served a bunch of different ways and with a BUNCH of cool flavors.  Here are some of the flavors they keep on tap:

Chocolate Chip

Loaded Brownie

PB Explosion

Cake Batter

S’Mores

Oreo Thin Mint *My personal favorite!

Samoas

Cookies n’ Cream (Vegan)

Snickerdoodle (Vegan)

Lemon Crunch (Vegan)

Protein

Cookie Butter

Gluten Free Options

Chocolate Chip

Oatmeal M&M

 

They even have monthly flavors, for example, Mint Chocolate Chip for the month of March and Red Velvet for February.

Now you can get these awesome flavors a variety of different ways including my personal favorite, the Half-Baked.  They throw the dough in the oven for a few minutes to get nice and warm and top it with your pick of ice cream and whipped cream.  It comes in two sizes, both of which I can polish off by myself.

They also have shakes, and cups for the more classic cookie dough lovers.

Being that this is currently a Utah only company you may be asking…”WHAT DO I DO WHEN I MOVE OUT OF STATE??”

Well you are in luck…DoughCo ships their dough nationwide! Not all flavors are available, so make sure you check before placing that order.

So if you are in the mood for a delicious new and hip joint to crash on Friday nights or want to take the family for a classic treat, make sure to check out DoughCo.

How do you make Alfredo Sauce from scratch?

How do you make Alfredo Sauce from scratch?

There is nothing better than a good homemade alfredo sauce.  I have often asked myself, How do you make Alfredo Sauce from scratch?  Many people do not know how to make Alfredo Sauce from Scratch.  It is super easy and will change your life.  You will never want to pay for one of those flavorless bottles of sauce again.

History of Fettuccini Alfredo

Between restaurants, cookbooks and supermarket shelves, Alfredo sauces vary widely, both in style and quality. Here’s a rundown of fettuccine Alfredo’s history and sauce variations.

The original dish was an extra-buttery version of an Italian standard, fettuccine al burro — fettuccine with butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. It was created in Rome in 1914 by chef Alfredo di Lelio and served at his restaurant, Alfredo’s. Legend has it that in 1927, silent-film stars Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks discovered this dish while honeymooning in Rome. Upon returning to Hollywood, they served it to friends; soon, fettuccine Alfredo was popular — but in a new, American guise.

According to The Italian-American Cookbook by John Mariani and Galina Mariani (Harvard Common Press, $19.95), since American butter and parmesan cheese lacked the richness of their Italian counterparts, cream was added to the sauce to compensate. This version became an Italian-American classic. Although popular in the United States, it never took root in Italy.

Ultimately, Alfredo sauce became a victim of its own popularity. Supermarkets began selling ready-made Alfredo sauces, thickened with flour or cornstarch and sometimes made with cheap ingredients. Many chain restaurants began using the pre-fab sauces, too. Noodles tossed with this convenience product can’t compare with this recipe for fresh fettuccine Alfredo made with Parmigiano-Reggiano, unsalted butter and fresh cream. Sure, you can make the original Roman recipe now that true Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano is widely available; but the version with cream is divine, and worthy of an occasional calorie splurge.

How to make Cuban Picadillo

How to make Cuban Picadillo

Cuban Picadillo…Anyone that has ANY Cuban blood in them can make Picadillo from scratch, it’s a known fact.  It is the most basic of recipes that are simple to make, doesn’t break the bank, and is done in a matter of minutes.  When I was growing up, this was one of my mom’s go-to recipes when there wasn’t a lot of time and people were hungry.  I mean, how basic can you get with ground beef, olives, and tomato sauce and spices.

Origins of Picadillo

Many picadillo recipes derive from the one that Nitza Villapol put in her cookbook “Cocina Criolla,” published in 1954. Villapol, a writer and television host, was the closest thing Cuba has had to a Julia Child. Her shows were broadcast there for more than 40 years, and her cookbooks were a mainstay of Cuban home cooking from the 1959 revolution until her death in 1998.

Cortina’s first picadillo was a Villapol recipe, she said. Her mother had packed her off to Gainesville with the cookbook. “It was probably just beef and raisins then,” she said of her early attempts at the dish. “The first time, I skipped the tomatoes entirely.”

Picadillo roughly translates from the Spanish as “mince.” The dish bears some resemblance to American sloppy joes, or to hash. Some cooks use tomato sauce in the base. (Cortina’s mother, for one.) Others insist on fresh tomatoes.

Take note, this meat is also used as a filling in several different recipes including Papas Rellenas and Empanadas.  You can serve it on Potatoes, Rice, in a sandwich, or as a side dish.

Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound groud beef The leaner the better
  • 1 Green Pepper chopped fine
  • 1 Onion Diced
  • 1 can Tomato Sauce
  • 1 small can Tomato Paste
  • 1/2 cup Green Olives Sliced
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • Cilantro for Garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, start to brown the ground beef with the green pepper and onion.
  • Once browned, drain the grease from the saucepan.
  • Combine all the other ingredients and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove that Bay Leaf and serve it up over some rice and add the cilantro and WHAM, you will be craving Mojitos and Cuban Cigars in no time.

Notes

There is a topic of hot debate among Cuban households, and that is the addition of Potatoes and Raisins to the mix. My family are Picadillo purists and those things are blasphemy. If you would like to adulterate the recipe with raisins and potatoes, be my guest. The wonderful thing about Picadillo is that it is very forgiving, so experiment away!
