Fat boy baking Enterprises No. 6 (and little bit of utter glutony)

Back by popular demand.  Or more accurately my sister politely requested that I post something.  So upon finished our skype chat this Sunday, I felt inspired to do a little baking.  Blueberry and Sour Cream loaf cake, from the Hummingbird Bakery Book, kindly donated by my above mentioned sister.
I have been informed that it is delicious.  Sadly; due to the vagueries of the ability of my taste buds still suffering from the effects of a cold; I have been unable to experience the full affects of the supposedly delicious cake.

The the little bit of gluttony. A week ago I decided to make some Cheez Whiz (if you are unsure Google it. And here is the recipe http://www.grouprecipes.com/66270/home-made-cheez-whiz.html).


And then decided it would be good idea to use it on Nachos.  This is the result - Nachos con esencia de Sheriff.


To make this heaping mound of food, all you need is nachos, beef mince, baked beans (my preference would be Heinz), spices (I used a packet of fajita spice mix), 1/2 a chili, soured cream, salsa, Cheez Whiz, and little bit of grated cheese.

Cook the beef with some of the fajita spice mix and a 1/4 of a chili, in another pan cook the beans with fajita spice mix and 1/4 of a chili.  When ready combine into one sauce pan.  Cover the bottom of large bowl with nachos, put some of the mince/beef mix on top, then some soured cream, and salsa, finally finish with some Cheez Whiz (you may need to heat this up in the microwave to make it a little easier to spread).  Then add another layer of nachos and repeat the process.  Finish by sprinkling grated cheese on tap, and put under the grill in done to your satisfaction.  And enjoy.

I think you find it is gluttony at its finest.

Fat Boy Baking Enterprises - No. 4 & 5

No 4 - Grasshopper Pie

Not quite as exotic as it sound.  Consists of a chocolate biscuit base, marshmallow based mint flavour topping, and cream; lots and lots of cream.  Nearly a litre of double cream was used in the making of the pie.  And for me it was little too much.


No 5 - Caramel Cupcakes

These were much more successful and greatly enjoyed by all who tried them.  Not to be recommended if you are on a diet due to the amount of sugar, butter and caramel required to make them.
