</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">DO NOT read this post </span>and recipe unless you plan to bake right away</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
Gives you craving to have something cinnamony with a hint of vanilla and maybe chocolate . -ok add butter scotch to that . .</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
Yup thats what I microwaved , all of the above in chips with a few caramels and curly wurly all sprinkled with cinnamon sugar atop. . Now I was at peace to go back to the recipe and post . . .<br>
Ps- if you want to try the dukan diet make sure your pantry doesn't boast of a good collection of chocolate chips of all kinds. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">There is no saying how creative You can get with them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And if like me your making this coffee cake or monkey bread cake for the very first time as I was you'd be just as excited.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AQV-feyAExY/TlC77dQ5XlI/AAAAAAAAIM4/9vYqAuxdjuU/s1600/HUNGARIAN+PULL+APART+COFFEE+CAKE5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AQV-feyAExY/TlC77dQ5XlI/AAAAAAAAIM4/9vYqAuxdjuU/s640/HUNGARIAN+PULL+APART+COFFEE+CAKE5.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
All the steps ,tossing the vanilla sugar with cinnamon in a zipper bag (or a large bowl as i did) , and tossing scoopfulls of the prepared dough to coat them all with the cinnamon vanilla sugar, placing them in the prepared pans and sprinkling with <strike>nuts</strike> and <strike>raisins </strike>pecans as I go . . . </div><div style="text-align: center;">And all those scents wafting around while baking.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HVplDXxW4_Y/TlC75IWXHOI/AAAAAAAAIMw/XIsk4gWKEYA/s1600/HUNGARIAN+PULL+APART+COFFEE+CAKE4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HVplDXxW4_Y/TlC75IWXHOI/AAAAAAAAIMw/XIsk4gWKEYA/s640/HUNGARIAN+PULL+APART+COFFEE+CAKE4.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
And while that bakes so waiting to have a peek a boo of how these bake , what they would look like after they bake and how deliciously the cinnamon vanilla combi would take these to a new height.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OSIgJPn2rQs/TlC7_u_LyNI/AAAAAAAAINQ/fAknQyOe6lY/s1600/HUNGARIAN+PULL+APART+COFFEE+CAKE7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OSIgJPn2rQs/TlC7_u_LyNI/AAAAAAAAINQ/fAknQyOe6lY/s640/HUNGARIAN+PULL+APART+COFFEE+CAKE7.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I went back and forth a many times over trying to decide on a large cake or a couple of minis, and a couple of minis in my small pan it was.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh all that caramelly goodness coating the crunchy pecans..... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FwKiXFuLnN8/TlC8CxYXpQI/AAAAAAAAINU/pVfBlBl309M/s1600/HUNGARIAN+PULL+APART+COFFEE+CAKE8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FwKiXFuLnN8/TlC8CxYXpQI/AAAAAAAAINU/pVfBlBl309M/s640/HUNGARIAN+PULL+APART+COFFEE+CAKE8.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>

Then scoop balls with whatever size of scoop u want , and toss them in some Vanilla Cinnamon Sugar (ahh already getttn so good) , get them a bit round again if they seem to have gone outa shape and this step is soo good , all that cinnamon vanilla sugar clinging to ur warmish hands as it goes.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H1ZXq938pGs/TlC7suJ_7TI/AAAAAAAAIMc/Lxj-YHDzo5Y/s1600/HUNGARIAN+PULL+APART+COFFEE+CAKE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H1ZXq938pGs/TlC7suJ_7TI/AAAAAAAAIMc/Lxj-YHDzo5Y/s640/HUNGARIAN+PULL+APART+COFFEE+CAKE.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>

Grilled Herb shrimps , with Basil , lotsa garlic and some pine nuts to be a bit more precise.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the <a href="http://gartenofina.blogspot.com/">''Wild Card '' fortnight at Ina's Garden</a> and that means you can <a href="http://gartenofina.blogspot.com/">join in the party</a> with jus about any of ur <a href="http://gartenofina.blogspot.com/">Ina's creations</a> ...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Shrimp and grilled together sound exciting and this is just the shrimp am going to grill over the weekend for a dinner , but for now i jus grilled a small batch for 2 of us for lunch and it was awesome.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The best part about this recipe ( i promise ur gonna love this part) is that u can marinate the shrimps (or even chicken) , spread it on ur baking tray , cover well or cling wrap the previous nite and all u need to do on the day of the party is pop the tray in the oven a little before the guests arrive to a warm very very yummy smelling home ...( c i told ya , ur gonna love this ) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IEdnNmfTzuA/TkzRc8ParXI/AAAAAAAAILo/h4f_DGY7KGs/s1600/BAKED+HERBED+SHRIMPS1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IEdnNmfTzuA/TkzRc8ParXI/AAAAAAAAILo/h4f_DGY7KGs/s640/BAKED+HERBED+SHRIMPS1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">There were actually no limes in the pantry , and i subbed in some home vinegar and the flavours it helped bring were fantastic, pairing beautifully with the french mustard.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">+ all the marinade with the onion served as a great salsa kinda of accompaniment with the prawns.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The onions get mustardy and the vinegar, again , lends a nice flavour to them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So yeah one whole onion for a few shrimps is totally worth it coz the grilled onions grab the nice shrimpy flavour plus with the basil et all , its gets absolutely delightful , and if u make lots of it u can even have some of it on some toastess and viola u have another entree. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bBv2KQkdbeU/TkzRZ7Yn2tI/AAAAAAAAILk/BicR4dvRTHA/s1600/BAKED+HERBED+SHRIMPS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bBv2KQkdbeU/TkzRZ7Yn2tI/AAAAAAAAILk/BicR4dvRTHA/s640/BAKED+HERBED+SHRIMPS.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">The pine nuts were added on impulse coz of their ''pesto'' pairing with basil .</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1SlXpvffJkI/TkzRe6o527I/AAAAAAAAILs/qH4cWBuTdtM/s1600/BAKED+HERBED+SHRIMPS2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1SlXpvffJkI/TkzRe6o527I/AAAAAAAAILs/qH4cWBuTdtM/s640/BAKED+HERBED+SHRIMPS2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And just like Ina's recipes , this one is soo forgiving too , specially if u dont seem to have it all in sur pantry.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">I measured nothing out , jus played it by ear and still it was sooo good!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">+ i added some whole coloured peppercorns with some crushed one's , and lots of chopped garlic with a whole onion , that as i said , is a nice accompaniment with the shrimps.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NliCRvKM1Uc/TkzRkv8OOyI/AAAAAAAAIL0/t-Fb9tECxto/s1600/BAKED+HERBED+SHRIMPS3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NliCRvKM1Uc/TkzRkv8OOyI/AAAAAAAAIL0/t-Fb9tECxto/s640/BAKED+HERBED+SHRIMPS3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">7- 8 larger shrimps, heads and tails left on</div><div style="text-align: center;">1-2 tbh chopped garlic</div><div style="text-align: center;">1 red onion chopped</div><div style="text-align: center;">a good handful of basil chopped </div><div style="text-align: center;">1 tsp pf dijon mustard</div><div style="text-align: center;">1 tsp whole peppers (coloured)</div><div style="text-align: center;">1/2 whole peppers crushed</div><div style="text-align: center;">some pine nuts (optional) </div><div style="text-align: center;">a splash of vinegar or wine or lemon juice</div><div style="text-align: center;">salt to taste </div><div style="text-align: center;">a ''good'' drizzle of olive oil</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">1) Mix all the ingredients in a bowl , and marinate the shrimps , atleast for an hour .</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">2) Place on a baking sheet , if grilling under a broiler ( with all the marinade), and grill till done , turning once in between.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">3) Dot with butter when done (optional ) , and serve with all the marinade ,now browned and yummy of onions and pine nuts.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Serve with the ''onion salsa '' u grilled along (marinade)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">NOTE- if u want more of the onion + basil+ pine nut salsa , jus add some more to the shrimps thats all, and dot with butter /olive oil.<br />
<br />
I think this would be fantastic with some Pesto or parmesan and bread crumbs too , but whatever u do , dont leave out the garlic (and butter too :-) ) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div></div><br>
I had to add the honey to the tittle of this very flavour full chicken coz it sure plays a wonderfully sweet role in this chicken.<br>
I mean jus 5 ingredients ,including the chicken , and all u need to do is marinate the chicken overnight , and pop it in the oven the next morn for a delicious treat.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BmC384-7W7g/Tfm3cEbDO6I/AAAAAAAAIBM/qob2mx_T-HQ/s1600/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BmC384-7W7g/Tfm3cEbDO6I/AAAAAAAAIBM/qob2mx_T-HQ/s640/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN9.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br>
This is the chicken i wanted to bake for this weeks theme at <a href="http://gartenofina.blogspot.com/">Ina's Garden </a>and it is <a href="http://21stcenturyhousewife.com/">April ,of 21st Century Housewife</a> who chose a them which revolves around Chicken , ie Comforting and delicious chicken recipes so if u have ever made any of Ina's recipes , be sure to link them below so we can all check them out as well.<br>
<br>
And our next posting at Ina's Garden is on July 7th which is Ina's Zucchini Gratin and u will find the recipe <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/zucchini-gratin-recipe2/index.html">here</a>.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ppcTjgEEK0Y/Tfm3RwX4ErI/AAAAAAAAIA8/Gsy4HY77nTk/s1600/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ppcTjgEEK0Y/Tfm3RwX4ErI/AAAAAAAAIA8/Gsy4HY77nTk/s640/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN5.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br>
The recipe sure calls for quartered pieces of a whole chicken but i missed that part and had already kept these pieces ready so i went right ahead with the recipe.<br>
The ground ginger and garlic along with the soy work its magic overnight and the honey ....well the honey sure does too....<br>
<br>
I think all the glaze is coz of the honey , and the sauce is rich and dark brown.<br>
I used my fav sweet soy sauce but u can use any one u like and a sprinkle of pepper would be great too though we all loved it the way it was.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rSKehl7cb2o/Tfm3W690G8I/AAAAAAAAIBE/7tUTTicy9IY/s1600/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rSKehl7cb2o/Tfm3W690G8I/AAAAAAAAIBE/7tUTTicy9IY/s640/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN7.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br>
Ahh, shrimps ...when i say i love sea food , i always mean shrimps (unless its oysters and clams am referring to) , so i went right ahead and marinated some shrimps too.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P7T6njPDoQM/Tfm3NXHTndI/AAAAAAAAIA0/oX4uVzxDFPc/s1600/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P7T6njPDoQM/Tfm3NXHTndI/AAAAAAAAIA0/oX4uVzxDFPc/s640/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN3.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> <br>
And am sooo glad i did , the marinade mixing with the juicy juices of the shrimps gives u a good lunch with some lettuce and green onion ...<br>
Actually lodsa mixed lettuce and greens of spring onions is more like it..<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EcF6mS645As/Tfm3KGsucSI/AAAAAAAAIAw/DD20oSPOjvE/s1600/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EcF6mS645As/Tfm3KGsucSI/AAAAAAAAIAw/DD20oSPOjvE/s640/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN2.jpg" width="640"></a></div> <br>
And then get really soft and tender and absolutely succulent with all the marinating and baking....<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ci6bq-ndnC4/Tfm3GgANuYI/AAAAAAAAIAs/wjV9m7axW90/s1600/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ci6bq-ndnC4/Tfm3GgANuYI/AAAAAAAAIAs/wjV9m7axW90/s640/INDONESIAN+HONEY+GINGER+CHICKEN1.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br>
Drizzling jus a bit of sesame oil atop a few of these gives them a nice twist too...<br>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>

Deeba , thannxx for making me fall in love yet again , with Cheesy delites in a different light!<br>
(i really didnt mean for dat to rhyme )<br>
Cheesy love and some more...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">There is no fancy equipment and ingredients u need here and that will make u a happier person as it did make and the end result is still deliciously inviting.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Plus all that u need would be in ur pantry right now and this is something really i would go back to again and again and i am sure so would u.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I mean , how can i not want some <span style="color: red;">fresh ricotta to have to slather or pinch on to sandwiches or salads and enjoy the cream , ever so slightly tangy , fresh flavor.</span></div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Do u need any more reasons to get some whole milk , lite cream and yogurt out this evening , this will change the way u look at cheese and u will find urself making this several time over i did.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">+ u have the option of making delightful spreads with this , how about <span style="color: red;">roasted garlic and pink pepper , with some lettuce and bits of leftover roast</span> , u will have one hearty sandwich at lunch time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Or maybe u'd really be tickled pink with some <span style="color: red;">olives and salsa added in , some more fresh basil , egg /any meats </span>and u will soon have another big fat sandwich to make u gay.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Or<span style="color: red;"> pesto</span>...so good! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br>
