Elise’s father is one of those people who has been known to drink buttermilk straight out of the glass. I think that’s, well, sort of gross. To me, buttermilk is a second string ingredient best left as a behind the scenes player. It should be the bridesmaid, never the bride. That is, in most cases. Buttermilk Panna Cotta, a Delicious and Smooth Pudding This is not one of those. Buttermilk pudding is something different entirely....
Thoran-style Indian salad? Thoran is a staple vegetable-based “dry curry” found in the southern India. It consist of chopped vegetables cooked with grated coconut, curry leaves and is lightly flavoured with turmeric and maybe a couple of other spices. It can be made with many different vegetables such as cabbage, carrot, okra, onion, natives vegetables, or a mix. For the past year, I’ve been obsessively making the green bean version – which I will publish one of these days, because it’s so damned good!...

How to Make Caramel: Caramel is simply sugar that has been melted and heated to the point where the molecules break down and form a new, semi-solid compound. It’s science at its tastiest! To make caramel you first place sugar in a pan over a medium or medium low heat. It’s important to stir constantly as the sugar is heated so that it does not burn. The sugar will clump together at first and slowly turn into a liquid....

Chicken Stew – with crispy skin! Anyone else here not a fan of slimy chicken skin?? I don’t care how long it’s been slow cooked. And whether it’s a stew, in soup or Hainanese chicken. No chicken skin comes near my mouth unless it’s crispy or caramelised....
I started my personal training sessions again last night, followed by an outdoor fitness class this morning. My body is screaming at me to lie down and watch TV until at least Sunday, but I’ve arranged another mini-workout session tomorrow with a friend. I’m not normally (or ever?) this enthusiastic about exercise, but something needs to be done about my sausage thighs. All that weight I lost (if you remember those before and after pics from my May 2016 income report?...
Ground beef versus chunks, pork versus beef, pinto versus kidney beans, beans versus no beans, red chili or green chili—the combinations, as the preferences for them, are endless. Ingredients in this Homemade Chili Recipe A few notes on this recipe. We use chuck roast because it holds up the best to long stewing. The meat and onions are cooked in bacon fat which contributes to the flavor. We include kidney beans because we like kidney beans, but you can substitute other beans or leave them out entirely....
The first thing some might notice is that there’s bacon in this Fried Rice. “That’s not authentic!”, you may be thinking. And that’s true. Authentic Chinese restaurants make Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage. I’m betting that the vast majority of readers have never bought or cooked Chinese Sausage before. But you know what? Kylie Kwong says bacon is ok. In fact, it’s the alternative in her recipe to Chinese Sausage....
Cookies Made In Just 20 Minutes Part of the draw of cookies for me is that they are easy to whip up and take only about 20 minutes to make. There’s just something about the near instant gratification of a treat! These chocolate chip pecan cookies are made with one bowl and less than 10 ingredients, so they are truly uncomplicated. If you are already eating Paleo, then you also probably have all of the ingredients on hand already!...
Coating Options: The base for these chocolate kiss cookies were inspired by classic chocolate crinkle cookies. We definitely recommend rolling them in powdered sugar, but you can also play with other options — granulated sugar, or even colored nonpareils (gives them a great texture)! Do I have to chill Chocolate Kiss Cookie dough? This recipe does require some chilling, as the chocolate cookie dough will be too sticky to roll in your hands right away....
Valentine’s Day tends to be one of those polarizing holidays. Some folks love all the romance that comes with it, while others find the pressure to make and do something special overwhelming. But the best present for yourself (and your loved ones) is a meal that feels like a treat but that won’t stress you out! That’s where this special French toast comes in. It’s the perfect balance of easy-to-make yet special occasion-worthy....
Hah! Once again, we’re kicking off the summer with a zucchini beast producing far more than we can eat. Fortunately, we have recipes like this one that use lots of zucchini, and we have friends and neighbors who happily accept the baked goods made from them. This chocolate zucchini bread, for example, uses 4 whole cups of freshly grated zucchini, for two loaves. That’s at least a day or two of produce from our plant....
Terrific made on the day, keeps for ages, and it’s just as delicious made with or without alcohol. Go wild with the decorations – or keep it simple! Christmas Cake I’m fussy about Christmas Cake because (speaking frankly) there are too many not-so-great-ones out there. Here’s how I like / don’t like my Christmas Cake: With or without alcohol – cake has to be just as good with or without booze (I mostly make it without – so it can be widely shared!...

What colors to use for the confectioners sugar icing? How many types of Jimmies and sprinkles? Oh! Maybe, red hots and sugar pearls! Whether or not you consider yourself artistic or creative, one of the great things about making sugar cookies is that you get to choose the cookie cutter shapes and the decorations. The possibilities are endless, and the cookies are sure to be show-stoppers on any holiday dessert tray....
Cinnamon swirl bread is the adult version of cinnamon sugar toast. We have fond memories of sprinkling a hefty amount of cinnamon and sugar over buttered toast as kids. It was a breakfast favorite. Today, we have graduated our cinnamon sugar toast to a much more elegant cinnamon swirl bread. Rather than sprinkle it on top, the cinnamon sugar is baked throughout the bread in a beautiful swirl pattern. This is still amazing as toast with a pat of butter, or as the base of a very fancy french toast!...
Béchamel vs. Alfredo Sauce: Béchamel may seem similar to an Alfredo sauce, but they are actually quite different. Alfredo sauce calls for heavy cream and parmesan cheese, and is thickened by reduction. Béchamel calls for milk instead, and is thickened with a roux. It traditionally does not include any cheese, though some people do enjoy a cheesy béchamel sauce over pasta. How to use Béchamel Sauce: Béchamel is a multi-purpose sauce....
