Sticky Toffee Pudding

Having lived in London for 6 years, I learned a bit about the British diet (not sure "diet" is the right word). Basically, pudding is bloody important! I have never had a dessert served in England without a pitcher of cream being passed around the table to douse it in. Every, yes I mean EVERY, dessert gets doused in heavy cream. Let me just add that their "light" cream is what we call heavy cream here on this side of the pond.
Anyway, the following recipe is from the Goddess herself, Nigella Lawson, and it's definitely worth the calories.
Note
If you don't want to buy self-rising flour, you can make it.
Add 1½ teaspoon of baking powder plus a pinch of salt to 1 cup of all-purpose flour.

Eggs Benedict Casserole

Our beautiful daughter Zoe and Pierce got married last weekend. The wedding was perfect. It's been a whirlwind of planning over the past few months and we are all about to collapse, but boy was it fun. I decided to make this Eggs Benedict Casserole for the morning of, so we got our sustenance in before the champagne, etc. It's an easy and elegant, make-the-night-before kind of breakfast. It calls for Béarnaise sauce, but I would recommend using Knorr Béarnaise Sauce to make it even easier.

Ritzy Cheddar Chicken Breast

These cheesy chicken cutlets, coated in buttery Ritz crackers, are as delicious as they sound. Instead of the traditional flour-egg-bread crumb dredge, this recipe uses a tangy sour cream base, which helps to tenderize the chicken breasts. To make it easier, use thin chicken cutlets. You can buy them pre-sliced or cut thicker breasts in half horizontally (no pounding needed). Thin cutlets cook more evenly and stay tender throughout the baking process.
