Simple No Cook Ice Cream

Leige Waffles

Dough ball: 

Nutella, whipped cream, and strawberries. Biscoff and cream is delicious too!

Chicken Noodle Soup

10-12 cups chicken broth (I use Better Than Boillion)
2-3 chicken breasts
6-10 carrots chopped
celery chopped
egg noodles (about 1 bag)

Cook chicken ahead (or use rotisserie). You can boil and shred or saute and shred. Salute carrots till almost soft in butter/EVOO and add celery and sauce. Put everything in a pot and heat up and add tons and tons of salt and some pepper and some dill.
Cook the noodles separate and add when serving or they'll get soggy fast.

Caramel apples

5 apples
2 tbsp water
1 bag caramel ball things or about 30 wrapped caramel squares

For white chocolate & cinnamon:
1 or 2 bags white chips
cinnamon and sugar

For milk chocolate and m&ms:
1 or 2 bags chocolate chips
mini m&ms

Wash and thoroughly dry the apples with a paper towel. Turn them upside down on a tray with silpat and put in wooden sticks (or if you're fancy like me and use Ikea knives because you can't find the sticks you bought). Apple juice will seep out, absorb it with the paper towel (moisture will make the caramel not stick).
Heat caramel on stove and add 2 tbsp water. Heat on medium until smooth. Check to make sure there's no more juice that's come out of the top of the apples by the stick and if there is then absorb it with a paper towel. Dip the apples and let drip a little and even wipe off bottom of apple if there's a ton of extra caramel and put on tray. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, then either dip in white chocolate (heated in the microwave until smooth) and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture, or dip in milk chocolate and then press mini m&ms into the chocolate (let cool a couple minutes so the chocolate isn't quite as soft).
You don't need to refrigerate these to store, that will make condensation and the caramel will drip down and off and look sad.

Tortilla Española!

1 large onion, chopped

6 or so large potatoes, slices and chopped (see picture for help)

A buttload of olive oil. Okay not that much, but a lot.

6 eggs

Get a pan the size you want your tortilla (probably like 10" pan) and load it with like .25-.5" of olive oil. Put all the chopped potatoes and onions in there. Cover and cook on med for 12-15 minutes until soft, stirring 2 or 3 times. The onions will get sweet and the potatoes soft.

In a large bowl crack about 6 eggs in a bowl and mix with fork. Add the cooked onions and potatoes to the eggs. (strain out the extra oil with a slotted spoon. Dump most of it, leave a tiny bit in the pan for the next step). ADD SALT and stir and let them hang out for 10-15 minutes in the bowl, it will slightly thicken. Don't for get to ADD SALT. 

Put your pan on med and pour the potato & egg mess into the pan once it's hot. Cook for a few minutes until it moves easily in the pan and is a "spanish tortilla" brown. Using something flat and larger than the pan, put it over the pan and then flip the tortilla mess onto the flat surface. then quickly slide it back in the pan to cook the other side to the same doneness. Voila!

I added more olive oil after this picture below. This is NOT ENOUGH if you want to to be like those old-school Spaniard ladies that I learned this from. Drown the potatoes!
