Classic Sourdough Starter





Sourdough starter keeps indefinitely, and its flavor improves with age.





Ingredients:





2 cups lukewarm water (90掳 to 100掳F)


1/3 cup plain yogurt


2 cups unbleached bread flour


1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder or 1/4 cup dry buttermilk powder





Preparation:





In a bowl, whisk together the water and yogurt. Add the flour and dry milk powder and beat until well blended and smooth. Transfer the mixture to a 1-quart glass jar, ceramic crock or plastic container. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a double thickness of cheesecloth and let stand at room temperature for 48 hours, stirring the mixture with a whisk twice each day. It will be bubbly, with a fresh sour smell and the consistency of pancake batter. A clear or pale yellow liquid will form on the top; just stir it back in. If the liquid is any other color (such as pink or green), discard the starter and make a new batch. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.





To use the starter, measure out the amount called for in a recipe and let stand at room temperature until it starts to bubble, about 1 hour. To feed the remaining starter, add 1 cup flour and 1 cup water, stir to incorporate, and let stand at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours to begin fermenting again. Store in the refrigerator, covered loosely. Makes 3 cups.

Ok I am a little confused biscuits in the US are a kind of small fluffy bread. Biscuits in the Uk means cookies.





For bread like biscuits I use Bisquick mix.





For a basic cookie that you can add to:


Try a basic oatmeal cookie, sugar cookie or a Tollhouse cookie recipe and add the traditional chocolate chip to or something else.





(Add ins: raisins, cranberries, dates, chocolate or butterscotch chips, walnuts or macadamia nuts)
We use this recipe usually for Christmas. I mix creamcheese icing with food coloring and let the kids paint and sprinkle away! They make a great homemade Christmas Gift. Keep in mind the thinner your cookie cutouts, the crispier they'll be. Enjoy!





Shortbreads:





2 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour





1/4 teaspoon (2 grams) salt





1 cup (2 sticks) (226 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature





1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered (confectioners or icing) sugar





1 teaspoon (4 grams) pure vanilla extract





Shortbreads: In a separate bowl whisk the flour with the salt. Set aside.





In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream the butter until smooth (about 1 minute). Add the sugar and beat until smooth (about 2 minutes). Beat in the vanilla extract. Gently stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated. latten the dough into a disk shape, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill the dough for at least an hour.





Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) with the rack in the middle of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.





On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to 1/4 inch (.5 cm) thick. Cut into rounds or whatever shapes you wish using lightly floured cookie cutter. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This will firm up the dough so the cookies will maintain their shape when baked. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly brown. Cool on rack.





Shortbread with keep in an airtight container for about a week or frozen for several months.





Makes about 20 shortbread cookies.

If you're ambitious:





Boston Créme Trifle


Serves 8-10





Ingredients for Boston Créme


2 2/3 cups of heavy cream


6 egg yolks


2/3 cup of sugar


1/8 teaspoon of salt


2 tablespoons %26amp; 2 teaspoons of cornstarch


4 tablespoons of cold, unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces


1 tablespoon of vanilla extract





Directions for Boston Créme


1.Heat cream in a saucepan over medium heat to simmering. Stir occasionally. In a large bowl whisk egg yolks, sugar, and salt. Add cornstarch and whisk until the mixture is yellow and thick, about 15 seconds.


When the cream has reached a full simmer, slowly whisk it into the yolk mixture. Return this back to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until thick and glossy for about 1 1/2 minutes. Off heat, whisk in butter and vanilla. Transfer the créme to a bowl and press plastic wrap onto the surface. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 2 days.





Ingredients for Double Chocolate Pudding


1 1/2 cup of sugar


1/3 cup of cornstarch


1/2 teaspoon of salt


3 cups of whole milk


3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate


2 1oz squares unsweet/baker's chocolate


4 egg yolks, beaten


1 teaspoon of vanilla extract





Directions for Double Chocolate Pudding


1.Combine sugar, salt, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Stir in milk gradually. Add all the chocolate and cook on medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring mixture to a boil for about a minute while still stirring.


Whisk egg yolks into the chocolate mixture. Continue to heat on medium and stir constantly for a minute longer. Remove form heat and mix in vanilla. Transfer pudding to a bowl and press plastic wrap onto the surface. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to 2 days.





Ingredients for Chantilly Cream


1 cup of confectioners sugar


1 cup of heavy cream


1 teaspoon of vanilla extract





Directions for Chantilly Cream


1.In a food processor or blender add the ingredients. Pulse mixture every 5 seconds for 10 seconds. Do not allow the machine to continuously run or you will create butter.


2.Continue to pulse this mixture until it starts to fluff up. Continue this process for an additional 5 to 10 minutes for desired consistency. Transfer into a container and refrigerate for 4 hours before using.





Assembly Directions


1.Remove the plastic wrap form both the pudding and the créme. In a large bowl or trifle dish layer the créme and pudding as you desire


2.Top with Chantilly cream and keep chilled before serving.











Notes:


Plastic wrap is used on the créme and pudding to prevent a skin from forming when it cools. It is important that plastic wrap is used to prevent the skin, or the substances will not spread easily.


For people who have an aversion to alcohol in their food, leave out vanilla extract and substitute vanilla sugar. To make vanilla sugar, take two vanilla bean pods and cut them open. In a large airtight container put all your normal sugar (confectioners sugar needs to be separate). Scrape the seeds of the pods into the sugar and fold the seeds in well. Bury the seed pods in this sugar and allow the sugar to sit undisturbed for at least 1 week.


Be careful when making the creme. If heated too much the fats will separate. If this happens, before you cover it with plastic wrap, vigorously whisk the mixture and then apply plastic wrap.


Chantilly Cream is just an exotic name for vanilla flavored whipped cream. For an additional kick, add one drop of almond extract when preparing.
This is a good cheesecake recipe. I've made it and it was delicious.

½ pound unsalted butter, at room temperature


1 tsp pure vanilla extract


1 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted

For the cake:


Beat the sugar, oil, and eggs together in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light yellow. Add the vanilla. In another bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups flour, the cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

Big, Super-Nutty Peanut Butter Cookies





Bringing the butter, peanut butter, and eggs to room temperature makes it easier to blend the ingredients. Be sure to grind the peanuts, since whole, and even chopped peanuts tend to slip out of the dough. If using unsalted butter, increase salt to 1 teaspoon. Keep finished cookies refrigerated in airtight container. To restore just-baked chewiness, wrap a cookie in a sheet of paper towel and microwave for approximately 25 seconds. Cool before serving.





2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour


1/2 teaspoon baking soda


1/2 teaspoon baking powder


1/2 teaspoon table salt


1/2 pound butter (2 sticks), salted


1 cup packed dark brown sugar


1 cup granulated sugar


1 cup extra-crunchy peanut butter , preferably Jif


2 large eggs


2 teaspoons vanilla extract


1 cup roasted salted peanuts , ground in food processor to resemble bread crumbs, about 14 pulses (about 1 cup, packed)





1. Adjust oven rack to low center position; heat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl.





2. In bowl of electric mixer or by hand, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars; beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes with electric mixer, stopping to scrape down bowl as necessary. Beat in peanut butter until fully incorporated, then eggs, one at a time, then vanilla. Gently stir dry ingredients into peanut butter mixture. Add ground peanuts; stir gently until just incorporated.





3. Working with 2 tablespoons dough at a time (see illustration 1 below), roll into large balls, placing them 2 inches apart on a parchment-covered cookie sheet. Following illustration 2, press each dough ball with back of dinner fork dipped in cold water to make crisscross design. Bake until cookies are puffed and slightly brown along edges, but not top, 10 to 12 minutes (they will not look fully baked). Cool cookies on cookie sheet until set, about 4 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Cookies will keep, refrigerat

    Prepare your pastry for a two crust pie. Wipe, quarter, core, peel, and slice apples; measure to 6 cups.


    Combine sugar and cinnamon. The amount of sugar used depends on how tart your apples are.


    Arrange apples in layers in pastry lined pie plate. Sprinkle each layer with sugar and cinnamon. Dot top layer with small pieces of butter or margarine. Cover with top crust.


    Place on lowest rack in oven preheated to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes longer. Serve warm or cold
    Sorry...but Mrs Smiths frozen is as good as any I have ever made or eaten. Around $5.00 at the grocer...
    1. Get money


    2. Go shop and rest you can do yourself lol.. (sorry if offends)
    Can I add one general tip for any apple pie recipe, from my own experience?





    Pile the apples much higher than you think you should. They shrink terribly when cooked, and apples piled flush with the top of the pan will be a sinkhole close to the bottom of the pan after baking. Make a slight mounded up overfill of apple filling.

    The Automat: The History, Recipes, and Allure of Horn and Hardart's Masterpiece by Lorraine B. Diehl, Marianne Hardart


    Publisher: Clarkson N. Potter





    Serves 4 to 6


    1/4 pound rigatoni macaroni


    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan


    1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


    1/4 teaspoon salt


    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper


    1 1/2 cups milk


    1/2 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes


    1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce





    Cook the macaroni according to package directions. Drain.





    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.





    In a 1-quart saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. With a wire whisk mix in the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until a smooth mixture forms.





    Continue to whisk and gradually add the milk; cook about 5 minutes, until the mixture is thick and smooth. Remove from heat.





    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the sauce, cheese, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour into a buttered 8x8x2-inch pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top browns.

    For a more gourmet? verson, here are my faves:





    1 slice whole wheat bread


    1 tablespoon butter


    1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions


    2 garlic cloves, minced


    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


    2 cups milk


    1/2 teaspoon salt


    1/4 teaspoon black pepper


    1/2 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese


    1/3 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese


    5 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach


    4 cups hot cooked elbow macaroni (about 2 cups uncooked)





    Preheat oven to 350F. Place bread in a food processor, and pulse until coarse crumbs measure 1/2 cup.





    Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; cook 1 minute. Add flour; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk, salt, and pepper, stirring constantly with a whisk until blended. Bring to a boil; cook until thick (about 2 minutes). Add cheeses; stir until melted.





    Add spinach and macaroni to cheese sauce, stirring until well blended. Spoon mixture into a 2-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with crumbs. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes or until bubbly.


    ----------





    8 oz. dry pasta


    2 tbsp. butter


    2 tbsp. flour


    1 cup milk


    1/4 cup heavy cream


    7 oz brie, rind removed (about 6 oz. without rind) and cut into chunks


    salt and freshly-ground pepper


    1/2 cup cracker or fresh bread crumbs


    3 tbsp. butter, melted





    Preheat oven to 350. Butter a medium casserole dish or 4 individual 2-cup dishes (ramekins) and set aside.





    Boil pasta to al dente. Drain. While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring continuously, 2 minutes, to form a golden brown roux.





    Stir in milk and cream. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously, then reduce heat to low. Add cheese and continue to stir until melted and smooth, a few minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss in drained pasta, combine very well. The idea is to let the sauce soak into the nooks and crannies of whatever pasta you're using. Pour into buttered dish(es).





    Stir together bread or cracker crumbs with 3 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over dish(es). Bake 15 minutes. Bake until topping is golden. Let stand a few minutes before serving.

    Boiling salted water, wow that was tough

    Kraft does suck. Sorry, I don't measure my recipe, but I use Capellini noodles instead of elbow mac, I think it looks better. One can of Campbells Cheddar Cheese Soup, Two 8oz packages of shredded cheese ( I like to experiment with this part, like using brick or monterey jack cheeses, or that mexican blend, but if you want to be safe, just get cheddar.) Kraft cheese finely shredded melts best. About 1/2 to 1 cup of milk, 1/2 stick of butter and don' t forget 2 eggs to hold it together. Ok, now here's the spices, just use good judgment with how much you add: pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and a tiny bit of garlic salt. Bake for about 20 or 30 minutes at 400 degrees.


    Good Luck!!

    ';Creamy Ham and Macaroni'; - 6 servings





    2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni


    1/4 cup butter; cubed


    1/4 cup all-purpose flour


    2 cups milk


    4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules


    1/4 teaspoon pepper

    The 'Cook's Illustrated' magazine people are fairly reliable -- for American tastes, anyway. Their recipe follows...





    But I like extra bread crumbs on top, and tomatoes mixed in; sometimes a few chilies. My sister likes onions in hers. My fianc茅, shamefully, is into Kraft Dinner. 'Add detail,' please.





    This would be my shopping list:





    small shell-shaped pasta


    block of old (aka 'sharp') cheddar


    crusty white bread


    plum tomatoes


    cream or milk


    butter


    flour





    With pinches of mustard and pepper... The sauce seems to settle into the shells more readily than it does with regular macaroni. I also disagree with the recipe below as far as overcooking it goes -- use extra liquid in the sauce, and bung it in the oven for a longer period. But it's a good ';classic'; recipe to start off with; you can figure out what you do and do not like about it, and work on altering it to your tastes.











    Classic Macaroni and Cheese








    It's crucial to cook the pasta until tender--just past the ';al dente'; stage. In fact, overcooking is better than undercooking the pasta. Whole, low-fat, and skim milk all work well in this recipe. The recipe can be halved and baked in an 8-inch-square, broilersafe baking dish. If desired, offer celery salt or hot sauce (such as Tabasco) for sprinkling at the table.





    Serves 6 to 8, or 10 to 12 as a side


    Bread Crumb Topping





    6 slices white sandwich bread (good-quality, about 6 ounces), torn into rough pieces


    3 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold), cut into 6 pieces





    Pasta and Cheese





    1 pound elbow macaroni


    1 tablespoon table salt


    5 tablespoons unsalted butter


    6 tablespoons all-purpose flour


    1 1/2 teaspoons powdered mustard


    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)


    5 cups milk (see note)


    8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese , shredded (2 cups)


    8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese , shredded (2 cups)


    1 teaspoon table salt














    1. For the bread crumbs: Pulse bread and butter in food processor until crumbs are no larger than 1/8 inch, ten to fifteen 1-second pulses. Set aside.





    2. For the pasta and cheese: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat broiler. Bring 4 quarts water to boil in Dutch oven over high heat. Add macaroni and 1 tablespoon salt; cook until pasta is tender. Drain pasta and set aside in colander.





    3. In now-empty Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat until foaming. Add flour, mustard, and cayenne (if using) and whisk well to combine. Continue whisking until mixture becomes fragrant and deepens in color, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk; bring mixture to boil, whisking constantly (mixture must reach full boil to fully thicken). Reduce heat to medium and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened to consistency of heavy cream, about 5 minutes. Off heat, whisk in cheeses and 1 teaspoon salt until cheeses are fully melted. Add pasta and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is steaming and heated through, about 6 minutes.





    4. Transfer mixture to broiler-safe 9-by 13-inch baking dish and sprinkle evenly with bread crumbs. Broil until crumbs are deep golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, rotating pan if necessary for even browning. Cool about 5 minutes, then serve.
    If you want the quick and dirty version, since it's already 8 p.m. there, try this.





    Get a box of Kraft mac %26amp; cheese. Get some half and half or cream to use in place of the milk. Make as usual, but then toss in 2 slices of American cheese. Stir until it all melts. Sprinkle with pepper and a dash of cayenne.





    It sounds sad, but it dresses up a boxed mix and makes it really cheesy.
    This is the best!

    1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, a couple pinches


    Salt


    1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked 8 minutes or to al dente, with a little bite to it





    Heat a medium, deep skillet over medium heat. Add oil and butter. When butter melts into the oil, add flour and combine. Gently cook, whisking flour and butter together, until smooth and flour has had a chance to cook, about 3 minutes. Slowly add milk while continuing to whisk. Gently bring milk to a bubble while stirring frequently. Allow the milk to thicken a bit, then stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time. Season sauce with nutmeg and cayenne. Taste and add a little salt, if you like. Add cooked pasta to sauce and coat completely by turning over and over in the cheese sauce. Transfer to a baking dish and top with remaining cheese.

    I have horribly dry elbows.


    I was wondering if anyone has a way to make them better without me having to go out to buy some expensive moisturizer. I want to be able to make it with some foods or such from my kitchen cabinet.


    Anybody have any suggestions?


    Its really appreciated!Are there any good homemade moisturizer recipes? (10pts to best working answer)?
    Its called Almond Oil Wrinkle Cream.





    1 tbs. of an infusion of comfrey leaves OR 1 tbs. of a decoction of comfrey roots


    1 tbs. Lanolin


    2 tbs. Sweet almond oil


    2 tsp. water


    2 tsp. cod liver oil





    Melt Lanolin and almond oil in a double boiler. Add water and allow to cool. Mix in cod liver oil and comfrey. Apply gently to face and rinse off after 5 to 10 minutes. This is a RICH MOISTURIZER that boosts the water holding capacity of your skin and helps plump out wrinkled areas.





    Might help soften your dry elbows.

    Sweet Plantain and Chocolate Empanaditas





    Empanaditas--small sweet or savory turnovers are popular throughout Spain and Latin America.








    Filling:


    1 cup (1-inch-thick) sliced soft black plantain (about 1/2 pound)


    2 tablespoons fat-free sweetened condensed milk





    Dough:


    2 cups all-purpose flour, divided


    6 tablespoons ice water


    1 teaspoon cider vinegar


    2 tablespoons powdered sugar


    1/2 teaspoon salt


    1/2 cup vegetable shortening


    Cooking spray





    Remaining ingredients:


    5 teaspoons 2% reduced-fat milk, divided


    1/4 cup granulated sugar


    1/4 cup semisweet chocolate minichips





    Preheat oven to 400掳.


    To prepare filling, cook plantain in boiling water 10 minutes or until tender; drain. Combine plantain and condensed milk in a bowl, and mash with a potato masher. Set aside.





    To prepare the dough, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 1/2 cup flour, ice water, and vinegar, stirring with a whisk until well blended to form a slurry. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl; cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add slurry, tossing with a fork until moist.





    Gently press dough into a 4-inch circle on 2 lengths of heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover with additional overlapping plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, into an 18 x 12-inch rectangle; freeze 10 minutes or until wrap can be easily removed. Remove wrap; place dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough into 24 circles using a 3-inch round cutter.





    Place circles on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray, and lightly moisten edges of dough with water. Spoon 2 teaspoons plantain mixture into each circle. Fold dough over filling; pinch edges together to seal. Brush the tops of dough evenly with 1 tablespoon 2% milk; sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar.





    Bake at 400掳 for 17 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine the chips and 2 teaspoons 2% milk in a small bowl, and microwave on high for 30 seconds; stir until smooth. Drizzle melted chocolate over empanaditas. Serve warm.





    Yield: 2 dozen (serving size: 1 empanadita)








    Pastelon, Sweet Plantain Casserole


    Recipe courtesy of Evette Rodriguez


    Ingredients:





    16 oz bag fresh or frozen green beans


    Water to boil


    陆 cup dark Bacardi, Puerto Rican Rum (optional)


    4 oz dark raisins


    2 tablespoons olive oil


    4 tablespoons of Sofrito, (recommended, my blend; alternatively, Goya frozen Sofrito)


    2 pounds lean ground beef


    1 tablespoon garlic powder


    1 tablespoon onion powder


    1 teaspoon Indian spice mix; you can find this in the ethnic isle of your grocery store


    陆 teaspoon black pepper


    陆 packet Latin seasoning mix, (recommended, Goya Sazon)


    陆 tablespoon salt or to taste


    2 heaping tablespoons Spanish olives


    1-2 cups of organic beef stock


    12 large sweet plantains very ripe (50 percent black)


    2 cups of oil for frying


    12 slices Swiss cheese


    2 large brown eggs








    Instructions:


    In a medium saucepan bring 4 cups of water to a boil, add a tablespoon of salt and add the frozen green beans; cover until the water comes back to a boil. Remove the lid and boil for 3-5 minutes depending on desired tenderness. Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set aside. Remove beans from heat and drain into strainer. Transfer the beans into the ice water for a minute or so to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, remove from the ice water and drain; set aside.





    Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover with the dark rum. They will plump up and absorb some of the rum which you will add to the beef mixture later.





    Heat a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and the Sofrito, cooking until golden. Add the ground beef and cook until just turning brown. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, Indian spice mix, black pepper, Latin seasoning mix and salt mixing well with a large cooking spoon. Add the olives, beef stock and the raisins soaked in rum and bring to a fast simmer. Cover, reduce heat to medium low and cook for 10-20 minutes adding stock as necessary until the meat reaches the desired tenderness.





    In the meantime, heat a 12 inch frying pan over medium heat. Cut the tips of the plantains off, cut the plantains in half and cut the halves lengthwise into three slices beginning from the top of the plantain down to the bottom (down the length of the plantain half). Add the oil to the hot pan while you are prepping the plantains. Once the oil is hot; (you should be able to drop a small piece of plantain in the oil and hear it sizzle immediately) begin to carefully place the plantains in the oil one at a time being conscious not to crowd the pan. Lower your heat to medium low. Fry each side for 3-5 minutes or until very golden brown but be careful not to burn them or they will become bitter. Remove the finished plantains from the pan and place on a cookie sheet lined with a cooling rack (this will allow the plantains to cool while dripping all of the oil onto the cookie sheet). Proceed in this manner until all of the plantains have been fried and cooled





    While the plantains are frying, check the ground beef; the meat should have reached the desired tenderness by this time. Uncover the pot, raise the heat and allow half of the cooking liquid to reduce if it has not done so. Taste the beef for flavor and add salt to taste if necessary.





    Once both components have completed the cooking process you are ready to build the casserole. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.





    Spoon some of the beef mixture onto the bottom of a 11 陆 x 8 inch glass baking dish as a base for the plantains. Build your casserole in this order; plantains, beef, veggies and Swiss cheese finishing with the plantain. You should have 3 layers of plantains and two layers of beef when you are finished. Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk until light and fluffy and pour over the entire casserole.





    Bake for 30 minutes, remove from the oven and allow to rest, covered loosely with foil for 5 minutes before you cut and serve.











    Chef's Comments:


    To serve; cut medium squares and serve on large dinner plates. You can serve a nice mixed baby green salad with tomatoes and store bought balsamic vinegar dressing with this dish quite nicely.

    What are the best recipes for pork?

    my boyfriend loves to eat pork and i'm cooking lunch for him on our anniversary.. any idea?What are the best recipes for pork?
    This is an easy adaption to the Japanese 'Kakuni' pork recipe.


    Ideally Kakuni is cooked on a low rolling heat for 6 hours or more, so is very labour intensive.


    Good news is that there is a much easier method.


    If you have a rice cooker...





    Get some thick pork slices (preferably without bones) and lightly brown them in a frying pan.


    Then place them in the rice cooker, with a can of coke and 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, some minced ginger and spring onions. You can also add potatoes, boiled egg, tofu etc.


    Then turn on the rice cooker, and wait for it to finish and 'voila' SUPER delicious pork that tastes very very similar to Kakuni.


    It's great as an accompanying dish for salads, or chicken..What are the best recipes for pork?

    You can also use the same mixture (with the olive oil added to it) to BBQ pork chops. Baste chops while grilling. Use enough oil to prevent drying.

    What the BEST recipe for scrambled eggs?

    I'm on a diet - so nothing too crazy, but I need a good tasty scrambled egg recipe - just making them plain is not very yummy :(What the BEST recipe for scrambled eggs?
    Hmm - well often ';Best recipe'; and ';diet'; do not go together! But here are some things to try.





    1) Scramble your eggs with a few teaspoons of water - normally I would say milk or creme, but you mention ';diet,'; :)





    2) Personally I add ground pepper to the mixture before cooking - but wait to add salt until they are done. I find I use less salt that way if it is on top.





    3) Some things to add to it for seasoning would be any of the Mrs. Dash seasonings. Personally I like to add a teaspoon of dried dill (for 2 eggs)





    4) I normally do not use teflon, but I do use it for making eggs. Even so, it helps to put a little something in the pan to keep them from sticking. For this - even if you are on a diet, I would use a half teaspoon of real butter. The flavor you get it will be worth the extra calories.





    5) When the eggs are almost done, still a little 'wet' looking, I take the pan off the heat and let it finish cooking with the heat left in the pan. This seems to make them creamier.





    Good luck!What the BEST recipe for scrambled eggs?
    Scrambled Eggs Done Right --








    INGREDIENTS


    2 eggs


    1 teaspoon mayonnaise or salad dressing


    1 teaspoon water (optional)


    1 teaspoon margarine or butter


    salt and pepper to taste (optional)











    DIRECTIONS


    In a cup or small bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise and water using a fork. Melt margarine in a skillet over low heat. Pour in the eggs, and stir constantly as they cook. Remove the eggs to a plate when they are set, but still moist. Do not over cook. Never add salt or pepper until eggs are on plate, but these are also good without.

    Baked Omelet Squares --











    INGREDIENTS


    1/4 cup butter


    1 small onion, chopped


    1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese


    1 (12 ounce) can sliced mushrooms


    1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives


    chopped cooked ham (optional)


    sliced jalapeno peppers (optional)


    12 eggs, scrambled


    1/2 cup milk


    1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste











    DIRECTIONS


    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.


    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion until tender.





    Spread Cheddar cheese in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.





    Layer with mushrooms, olives, sauteed onion, ham, and jalapeno peppers. In a bowl, scramble eggs together with milk, and season with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over ingredients, but do not stir.





    Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until no longer runny in the center and slightly brown on top. Allow to cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve.

    Feta Eggs --











    INGREDIENTS


    1 tablespoon butter


    1/4 cup chopped onion


    4 eggs, beaten


    1/4 cup chopped tomatoes


    2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese


    salt and pepper to taste








    DIRECTIONS


    Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent. Pour in eggs. Cook, stirring occasionally to scramble. When eggs appear almost done, stir in chopped tomatoes and feta cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until cheese is melted.
    If you are on a diet, add tofu to the scrambled eggs. One fifth of average tofu tub adds about 70 calories you sort of mash the tofu and eggs together when you fry it. Fry in Pam or another no stick product. Cut up some onion, tomato, 1/8 avocado adds about 40 calories and a ton of flavor. Most hot sauces have very few calories. Mushrooms, bell pepper slices, Bragg's. Add what you want, read the labels or look up the ingredient. You could add lunch meat, but the tofu adds substance and will last you for a while. I only use one egg for this, 80 calories each, they add up fast.
    If on a diet, you may wish to omit some of the yolks, but up to you..





    3 eggs (or 2 egg whites + 1 yolk)


    A splash of milk (or can use water)


    A tablespoon of salsa


    Mix well with a fork





    Cook in a non-stick pan until done..





    Another variation is to spread some low-fat Cheese Wiz directly on your plate, and then put the hot cooked eggs on top.
    You can add almost any seasoning to scramble eggs and they will taste better than plain. If you like spicy food then add some hot sauce and a little bit of salt and lemon. Spicy, salty, and a bit sour. ^_~ Sounds good to you? Add enough according to your taste and mix them up with the eggs before putting the eggs to the pan.
    Hearty Scrambled Eggs


    serves 1





    2 eggs


    1/4 cup and 1 tablespoon diced fully cooked ham


    3 tablespoons diced Cheddar cheese


    2 tablespoons chopped fresh mushrooms


    1 tablespoon chopped onion


    1-1/2 teaspoons butter or margarine





    Melt butter in pan


    saute ham,onions and mushrooms


    add eggs and cheese


    stir and cook until eggs are set


    and cheese is melted
    I fry a bit of thinly sliced ham until crisp, then saute some red or green pepper. Set both aside.


    Cook eggs with sliced green onion, add ham and red pepper just before done. Turn off heat, add shredded cheese, put the lid on until melted.
    Whip up your eggs with a little milk, add salt, pepper, if you want and put them in a plastic bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes, open and stir and put back for another 2 mins, then stir again and serve.


    Perfect
    You need organic freerange eggs, Lescure butter, salt and black pepper. Do not add milk to the beaten eggs. Do add a few mushrooms if you like them.
    use seasonings =)


    cut up little tomatos.
    add a dash of garlic salt the the eggs before you scramble them. SOO good!
