Caramelised. It’s one of my favourite words, and yes, being English, I spell it with an ‘S’ not a ‘Z’. I’m one of those people who’s easily swayed, so I do hover between the those letters on the keyboard (especially since I have more US readers than UK readers). But I’m sticking with ‘S’ - at least until we win the lottery and move to California. Where was I? Oh yes, Caramelised....

It’s September, so I can finally start posting soup recipes again yay!This is a recipe I first posted about 6 years ago, but I thought it deserved a comeback with some new photos and a video since it’s one of my favourite soups. Not only is it made with some extra veggies (sweet potato and red pepper), but I also love to serve this one with basil-topped cheese on toast that’s been drizzled with a smidgen of Worcestershire sauce....
Cuban bread has a nice crisp crust on the outside with a tender crumb on the inside. It’s like eating a loaf of french bread that has been crossed with a pastry. It is best enjoyed fresh to retain that crisp outer layer.

Step 1 – Make your dough just like in the recipe for soft pretzels and divide the dough into golf ball sized lumps. Roll each ball into a snake or rope. Step 2 – Flatten your snake with a rolling pin. Make it at least a few inches wide so you’ll have room for your filling. Step 3 – Place your desired filling down the middle of the flattened snake....
Krispy Kreme is one of my dirty food secrets. I don’t hunt it down (thankfully there aren’t that many in Sydney) but if I pass one during a weak moment then yeah, I break. Sigh. Why wasn’t I born craving broccoli and inspired to live a sugar free life? OK. So if I have to have a jelly doughnut every now and then, the least I can do is make it at home so it’s healthier....

Here’s what you need to make this delicious dish: Ground beef – You could easily substitute ground chicken or turkey if that’s your preference.Big Mac Sauce – You’ll want to dump this all over your salad!Romaine Lettuce – Be sure to use some of the thick ends of the leaves closer to the stem to give your salad some extra crunch....
Made in the microwave, they’re ready in less than five minutes, so you can whip them up anytime you crave something crunchy. Many people on the keto diet complain that they miss crunchy snacks. But with these tasty crackers and with pork rinds, there’s really no reason to complain. In fact, these crackers are so good, that even if you don’t need to avoid wheat or gluten, you should give them a try!...
Have you heard about that Chicago restaurant that serves a hamburger on buns made of fried mac and cheese? Put Rockit Burger Bar on your list if you are heading to Chicago soon! But guess what? I’m not headed to Chicago any time soon. But sheer curiosity gave me the desire, nay, the need to try these for myself. My brothers were coming to town and I knew this would be right up their culinary allies....
“In January it’s so nice, while slipping on the sliding ice, to sip hot chicken soup with rice.” Maurice Sendak was really onto something with chicken and rice soup, and who are we to disagree? Chicken and rice soup is one of our favorite winter dinners. While it may be cold and snowy outside, our bellies are warm and filled with a delicious, hearty soup. Chicken and rice soup is filled with delicious shredded chicken, hearty veggies and rice, and the most delicious broth....
We love a good, hearty breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day, after all. Hash browns, eggs, bacon, toast, yum! Maybe throw in a banana for a little healthy sweetness. What we don’t love? Cold cereal. It never fills anyone up and the kids are always hungry within an hour or two. It is so important to have quick, easy breakfast recipes, especially in the winter when everyone is just a little bit more hungry....
Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole It never even crossed my mind to make a recipe such as this Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole from anything but scratch. But a quick Google and I was somewhat bemused to find that there are in fact many versions of similar rice casseroles made using canned soup. I’ve never tried this with canned soup, and I never intend to. Having tried canned soup in various forms in my time, I can say with absolute confidence that homemade from scratch is tastier, it’s better for you and it’s easy!...
AND you won’t get your fingers caked with batter and breadcrumbs in the process of making them. Find out my little tricks! Crunchy Baked Chicken Tenders Have you ever made a recipe based on the photos showing a perfect golden BAKED crumbed chicken, only to find that: a) the crumbing comes out splotchy with some burnt bits and some white bits; and b) the crumbing is not that crunchy (unless you bake it so long the chicken overcooks)?...
Just start with some nice and green plantains. If you use ripe plantains, the will get mushy and sweeter tasting so pick up the greenest you can find. You can peel and grate them just like a normal potato. To peel them I slice down the sides of the plantain peel a few times lengthwise (just the peel, don’t go too deep). The peel will then come off pretty easily in sections....
The Crust + Crumble The crust and crumble for these Paleo pumpkin bars are made with the same ingredients. It’s a crumbly mixture made with blanched almond flour, coconut butter, coconut oil, coconut sugar and some cinnamon. The magic happens when you press the mixture into the bottom of the pan because when it bakes it turns into this cookie like crust. Then, you just sprinkle the remainder of the loose mixture on top, and it’s like a crumble topping....
Ready in just under an hour (and this includes resting the cooked meat), this recipe is quite suitable for a weeknight dinner. This is one of those entrees that you typically find on fancy restaurant menus, and you would think it was a complex recipe to make. But in fact, cooking duck breast in a skillet is easy, especially since I don’t bother with a sauce. I don’t like the sweet sauces that are typically served with this dish and I’d much rather appreciate the flavors of the meat itself....

Baking Pan Options: Angel food cake is traditionally made in a tube pan, but can be made in other pan shapes as well. To make an angel food cake loaf, use a loaf pan, but only fill the pan 2/3rds of the way full. Also be sure that you leave the pan un-greased. You will still need to cool the cake upside down so find something that will allow you to rest the edges of the pan on to keep the pan upside down....
