According to Buzzfeed, Taco Bell has some new interesting additions to their menu. There have been rumors flying all over the internet for years about Taco Bell expanding their menu into breakfast territory. I guess after all the rumblings and internet rumors they decided to finally do a test release of their breakfast menu. These new menus items are available at select Taco Bell locations (at 5,500 different locations). These locations are spread out all over the country.  It will be available for the entire nation on March 27th.  Here's the new breakfast menu:

For Christmas this year my mother didn't want Macaroni and Cheese and we needed another dish to compliment our eclectic menu. So my mom suggested we make an all cheese lasagna. I was skeptical at first but I went ahead and made the lasagna anyway and it turned out GREAT! Especially when I added a great marinara sauce. It was absolutely awesome!

Ingredients

2 Boxes Lasagna Noodles

4 c Colby Jack Cheese

4 c Mozzarella Cheese

2 c Jack Cheese

Cheese Sauce

3 c Milk

3 tsp Black Pepper

3 tsp Parsley

3 tsp Salt

2 1/2 c Flour

1 Stick of Butter

Follow the instructions on the box for the noodles. Create the cheese sauce.
Cheese Sauce: Create a rue in a large pot (use whatever fat you like bacon, olive oil, butter, etc.) Cook your fat in the pan for 5 minutes. Then add the flour. Once the flour has cooked a little bit, slowly add the buttermilk. You need to do this with a whisk. It is very difficult to incorporate the flour without it. The sauce will be thick and slightly chunky just continue to stir. You should end up with a nice béchamel sauce; add the cream cheese and butter to the mixture. Constantly stir this mixture until everything is fully combined. Then add the Mozzarella and Colby jack cheese. Whisk the cheese into the sauce 1 cup at a time. This will allow the cheese to fully blend with the béchamel until it begins to bubble. Add your seasonings and let simmer, constantly stirring to keep the cheese mixture smooth. This is very tiring so be prepared to do some work. The work is hard but the payoff is creamy cheesy goodness!

Then begin a layering process. Alternate between a layer of cheese sauce, noodles, and cheese. Or cheese sauce, cheese, noodles. Which ever way works for you. Once you've reached the top of the pan place a full layer of cheese on top and put in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Or until the cheese on top is bubbling brown.  Let it rest for 10 minutes. Then Serve!

This is my basic pound cake recipe amped up a few notches. Pound Cake is a blank canvas it's so easy to change. You can add flavorings, fruit, etc. You can make pound cake however you want its all at your discretion. 

Sift the 2 cups of flour 6 or 7 times. Sifting allows the flour to be light and create a lighter fluffier cake. Place the sifted flour in a separate bowl to the side. Cream the sugar and butter together until the mixture is pale yellow. Add the lemon juice and orange juice slowly blend into the eggs, sugar and butter. Then, slowly add one egg at a time until all the eggs are added to the sugar and butter mixture. Mix the zest into the flour so that it does not stick to the mixer blades. Finally turn on the mixer and add the flour slowly until fully incorporated. 

*Option: If you want your cake to be a little bit sweeter you can make a really good icing to drizzle over the top. Here's what you'll need:

I saw on Dr Oz's site that he had a smoothie that he and plenty of others swore by. It's a pretty refreshing smoothie. I enjoy it I just need an idea of how to make it smoother. The recipe was a little chunky. It wasn't smooth like the ones you get at the smoothie shop. It was good and refreshing its just different from the smoothies I'm used too. Anyway here's the recipe:
