Vegetable soup is one of the easiest things to make. All you need is a mix of vegetables and a good stock (could be a meat stock or a vegetable stock). Which vegetables is really up to you, just pick your favourites, or just work with what you have. Here’s how I put one together with what I had…
Not having to knead the dough is awesome, even better is that the dough stores in the fridge for up to 14 days. So you can store it in batches and make a fresh loaf when you need it.
When I used to think about making bread, I was completely discouraged by the amount of kneading that I would have to do. It just seemed like I would be setting myself up for a workout session I didn’t want! Well, I found the solution — Artisan bread! The no knead bread, check it out…
Since I started growing these herbs I’ve had what I consider a small glimpse of another world. Oh to be plant! Not an easy thing, especially when you can’t move to get away from the predators that are after you. The battles continue…
It is as yummy as it looks in that photo. I would add a sprinkle of icing sugar for presentation if I was to do it again though.
Yes yes! Once in a while I like to challenge my fears — or rather take on the challenge of making new/better memories with foods that I ran from as a child. See how this one went…
Continuing on the different method for making peanuts… here is one I learned from my mother
It’s a triumphant combination of the sweet and salty! Do read on and try it…
I have never cooked eggplant. I’ve seen my Mother do it, but never done it myself. Figured it was time to give it a go (^_^)
I used to make this a lot in high school, how time flies!
I like cooking a lot, I plan the meals and look forward to making them. But once in a while it’s nice to hear that someone else wants to do the cooking.
So, it was time to make dinner and I was totally blank! I think the cooking part of my brain is still on vacation. Well, not completely, I’m thinking about making cookies and nuts, baking bread and making chapos. But I can’t combine any of that into a proper meal for dinner! Plus my kitchen still feels like I’m on vacation, I need to stock up on a few things. That’s probably the problem.
I am really having fun with these scones. They are so easy to make and experiment with.
The great thing about cooking is being able to make what you want, when you want it. I don’t have to look for a restaurant that serves breakfast at this hour, I just make it (^_^)
Bring on the peanut recipes! Here is the first one…
Lots of chatter and a quick dinner (^_^)
I’ve been on a rosemary kick since shags. Not sure when it will end, but here is another one with rosemary…
Our first dinner of the year at home…
In my ongoing quest to perfect my chapati making skills, I asked my Mother-in-law if she would share some of her insights. She was glad to!
When a goat goes down in shagz…
Have I told you these drop scones are famous? I mean specifically the ones my Mother-in-law makes, I have met several people that just tell me they remember the scones from their breakfast visits with her, it’s amazing. We did a little experiment with them on this morning, check it out…
