Busy, busy, busy
Picture the magician in my favorite snowman (Frosty) movie, after Santa’s visit. I’ve been a bit slow in posting recipes & ideas, because I have been working on some stories, as well as a cook book. The stories are selling of course, so I kind of lean towards feeding that. I also am learning an art program, that has quite the learning curve to it. … Continue reading Busy, busy, busy
Conversation Heart Cookies
Not quite along the lines of a how to cooking recipe but certainly something you can throw together easily enough that I’d like to share. I wanted something different than the “Necco” conversation hearts. Time stamp: I also hear that the company which bought them, is having another issue this year making them. Anyhow. I wanted to try out cookie flooding as well as edible … Continue reading Conversation Heart Cookies
PB& J Cookies
I was thinking about combining Peanut Butter with jelly in a cookie, for a little bit. I’m sure it has been done, everything has; here is my spin on it. I wanted easy, because who really has time to bake? All of the time? I will confess, & I do so in this blog, I am not a baker. So you may snicker a bit … Continue reading PB& J Cookies
Veggie Wash
First off I have had a picture for some time, one that I have printed & posted near the cutting table at work a few times. It’s title “why we wash lettuce”. I updated this picture awhile back, so I could share with you here. So here it is, you can see a dead fly next to the darker green piece. This lettuce came from … Continue reading Veggie Wash
Modified BBQ Dipping Sauce
Modified, more than a neat boost to stock car racing. Often I’ve found myself at the last part of some BBQ sauce & wanting a quick chicken nugget/strip & French fry meal. What to do? Blend!! This is something that you can do on the fly, when you need it. Which is how it was born. You can make this with out running out of … Continue reading Modified BBQ Dipping Sauce
Handmade Brown Sugar
This is a brief article for making brown sugar. This was originally in the tips article, but I’m going to break out the articles in there, so they are easier to reference for people. “The most common forms of molasses are made from either sugar cane or sugar beet juice which is boiled down to a syrup. Sugar crystals are extracted from the syrup, and … Continue reading Handmade Brown Sugar
Grilled Muffin
As guests come over for the holidays, I think to something I used to make for my mom (GRHS) as a treat. Something I often do for myself, when I have an extra moment. A pan fried (grilled) muffin. It’s something that I brought to work, not took from it. It was a hit on the ferries I used to cook on, that’s for sure. … Continue reading Grilled Muffin
Pub Fries
A dear friend & I often reminisce about things. We had been talking about restaurants that we would go to, & it got me thinking of how I could replicate some tastes & textures. So I got to experimenting. I don’t like to post anything, till I have what I’m after, nailed. By this, I mean you can close your eyes & let the food … Continue reading Pub Fries
Soda Making Flavors
So you got a water carbonating machine or want one? Here are some tried flavorings that you may like too. As with any recipe, adjust to your liking if it didn’t work for you the first time. These recipes will be based on using the SodaStream ‘Fountain’ model that I (got as a review me [free] product) use. They use one as well as half … Continue reading Soda Making Flavors
Scrambled Omelette
I never really enjoyed the taste nor the smell of eggs in an omelette being singed in a pan. So I started making scrambled omelettes early on. Which is not to say that I don’t like crepes, because I do. Odd. Different pan. Anyhow, I decided to show everyone my way of making this delightful dish. If I see it crop up on some menus, … Continue reading Scrambled Omelette
