Weekly Roundup - Living On Nothing Edition [Survival Today

Did you hear about the guy that lives on nothing? No seriously, he lives on zero dollars a day. Meet Daniel Suelo, who lives in a cave outside Moab, Utah. Suelo has no mortgage, no car payment, no debt of any kind. He also has no home, no car, no television, and absolutely no “creature comforts.” But he does have a lot of creatures, as in the mice and bugs that scurry about the cave floor he’s called home for the last three years.

To us, Suelo probably sounds a little extreme. Actually, he probably sounds very extreme. After all, I suspect most of you reading this are doing so under the protection of some sort of man-made shelter, and with some amount of money on your person, and probably a few needs for money, too. And who doesn’t need money unless they have completely unplugged from the grid? Still, it’s an amusing story about a guy who rejects all forms of consumerism as we know it.

20 Homemade Freezer Jam Recipes {Top Picks}

Posted By TipNut On May 13, 2010 @ 1:10 pm In Recipes | 1 Comment

Freezer jam is the easiest way to make homemade jam and if you’re a little intimidated with the thought of canning, this is a great method for beginners!

Homemade Strawberry Jam Is A Tried & True Favorite But Consider Adding A Flavor Twist Or Two For Something New
This week’s Recipe Hit List is a happy mix of hand-picked recipes I’ve found from around the net. You’ll find a selection of traditional berry fruit favorites like strawberries and raspberries but I also found more unique ingredient twists like violets, kiwis and even a Carrot Cake Freezer Jam. So many goodies to choose from, each so simple to make…Enjoy!

Don’t Miss It: This master list for homemade jams, jellies & marmalades [1] features 101 recipes I’ve collected so for (most are prepared with regular canning methods)!
Homemade Freezer Jam Recipes

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

1. Pear Raspberry Freezer Jam [2]: Raspberries and pears are great together – the pears balance the tartness of the raspberries while keeping the intense berry taste. This recipe is quick and easy! Recipe from Cook Eat Think.
2. Violet Freezer Jam [3]: We’ve been making a batch of violet jam every spring for the past 25 years or more. You may not think of violets when you think of a great tasting jam, but you should. This is really good, and it’s become a tradition for us. Recipe from Jim Long’s Garden.
3. Gingered Pear Freezer Jam [4]: It is an absolutely delicious jam. I’ll admit that I was a bit surprised at the taste – you first get hit with the ginger. If you don’t like ginger….don’t even attempt this recipe! Then you get a refreshing citrus taste, and then the pear flavor comes out. And since this is a freezer jam, it is unbelievably easy to make. No cooking required! From Recipe Hunter Lisa.
4. Kiwi Freezer Jam [5]: Reminds cooks to keep these rules in mind when making jam: don’t double jam recipes and don’t reduce the amount of sugar. Doing either of these things may result in having liquid jam. Also, if you are canning, consider your altitude and add 1 minute of cooking time for each 1,000 feet of altitude. Recipe from Yankee Magazine.
5. BC Strawberry Kiwi Freezer Jam [6]: Scroll down page to view recipe. Found at BC Strawberries.
6. 30 Minutes to Homemade SURE.JELL Raspberry-Blueberry Freezer Jam [7]: Recipe from Kraft Foods.
7. Wild Blueberry Freezer Jam [8]: From The Canadian Living Test Kitchen.
8. Peach Freezer Jam-Freshest Tasting Jam With No Canning! [9]: The canning process for freezer jam is the easiest of all. Wash your jars, fill them, let them sit at room temperature for 24 hours, then place in freezer. That’s it! Keep a jar in your fridge to use and just grab another one out of the freezer when you need more. Recipe from Southern Plate.
9. Spiced Apple Pear Freezer Jam [10]: Cooking and sugar are kept to a minimum in this spread that resembles old-fashioned fruit butters with sparkling fresh fruit flavour. Recipe from Bernardin.
10. Strawberry Freezer Jam [11]: One of the greatest simple delights of summer is biting into a juicy, sweet strawberry. However, you can savor that moment all year round by making freezer jam. It’s very easy to do, and so yummy- you’ll never want to eat store-bought jam again! Recipe from Enchanted Dandelions.
11. Honey Strawberry Freezer Jam [12]: And I realize that most of us are now past strawberry season. Frankly, I was lucky to get any jam made in the flurry of the last week of school, packing, and getting ready to go. So, if you have some strawberries left, give it a whirl. Otherwise, wait for raspberries or blueberries. I bet they would work equally well. I set out to create a batch of jam that used honey — because the standard recipe for strawberry freezer jam requires four cups of sugar. FOUR CUPS. Are you kidding me? That scared me off right away and I can’t believe I hadn’t given it a second thought before. Recipe found at Cuizoo.
12. Strawberry-Rhubarb Freezer Jam [13]: Recipe from Culinary In The Desert.
13. Peach Freezer Jam [14]: This fruit spread-style peach jam can be made with no sugar at all, but we use 1 cup sugar for just a touch of sweetness (up to 3 cups sugar can be used for a sweeter jam). Recipe from Eating Well.
14. Concord Grape Freezer Jam [15]: Concord grapes have seeds and very sour skins; these should be removed in order to have a more edible jam. So after washing and stemming the grapes I placed them in a stainless steel pot and mashed them with a potato masher. Once I mashed out as much juice as possible I cooked the mixture until it boiled. Then I strained it through a sieve and ended up with 4 cups of juice. I then followed the steps below. Recipe from My Everyday Kitchen.
15. Sugar Free Poached Pear and Pineapple Freezer Jam [16]: No cooking?! Yes! Even more exciting for putting away good jam quickly. The other side…we can just put it in the fridge and use it. So, it’s good in the freezer up to a year, but in the fridge up to three weeks. Recipe from Chef Tess Bakeresse.
16. Raspberry Freezer Jam–Ball Pectin Method [17]: So, when she saw a new Ball brand pectin at the store, she decided to try it, so she can say she’s tried it all. It caught her eye because it uses a lower percentage of sugar, and also doesn’t call for corn syrup like many recipes do. The Damsel doesn’t have anything personal against corn syrup, but white sugar is cheaper and easier to measure, so, yeah. Recipe from Old School.
17. Carrot Cake Freezer Jam [18]: This is absolutely divine on hot biscuits, or for a different twist, try on cinnamon raisin bagel chips. Also, regular liquid or powder pectin will not work in this recipe—you must use freezer jam fruit pectin. Found at Inn Cuisine.
18. Reduced-Sugar Blackberry-Plum (or Raspberry-Plum) Freezer Jam [19]: Nancy Baggett likes to combine plums with berries because they add fruitiness and vibrant color, but no seeds. Plums are also rich in pectin, so they help ensure that the jam will jell well. Recipe found at The Washington Post.
19. “Raw” Berry Freezer Jam (Honey Sweetened) [20]: Sweet berries and raw honey are made into a brightly flavored jam that is raw and delicious! It’s the perfect jam for summer time. It was so nice to not only avoid using sugar, but also to avoid cooking the berries to death. Recipe from The Nourishing Gourmet.
20. Strawberry-Nectarine Jam [21]: There’s also a great article packed with information about making freezer jam. Found at NPR.

12 Yummy Zucchini Cakes To Make: {Recipes}

Posted By TipNut On May 27, 2010 @ 1:07 pm In Recipes | No Comments

I remember the first time I was offered a slice of chocolate zucchini cake (years ago) and thinking “this has to be a joke”–but after that first (tentative) bite, I was hooked! Zucchini provides a rich moistness to cakes that bakers can’t resist and I encourage you to try it if you haven’t already. This week’s Recipe Hit List is a collection of a dozen recipes I’ve found online that uses zucchini as an ingredient for a variety of different cakes–each one sounds so delicious! If you grow this vegetable in your garden, you’ll know that it gives and gives and gives some more…I’m sure you’ll have lots on hand to give each recipe a try . Enjoy!
Zucchini Cake Recipes

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

Try This Lovely Zucchini Swirl Bundt Cake Recipe From alesandemily.com

1. Zucchini Swirl Bundt Cake Recipe [1]: (as seen in picture above) Anyway, whenever you get zucchinis (or if you have one left over like me) you need to make this bread – it will make your life a happier, more moist place. And as you eat the entire cake, just remember: it’s healthy : ) Found at Ale’s And Emily’s Travels.

2. Sourdough Zucchini Cake [2]: Yesterday, faced with my sourdough cast-off and some frozen zucchini I came up with the following recipe. It was pretty yummy if I do say so myself. I think a little sweet, spicy glaze would be awesome drizzled over the top. Found at Two Frog Home.

3. Lemon-Zucchini Pound Cake [3]: Now I got 2/3 of the way into making the cake and realized that I HAD NO LEMONS in the house so I substituted limes – I think it worked out very well. Found at Cook. Craft. Enjoy.

4. Zucchini Pound Cake [4] (with cinnamon sugar crust and vanilla cream glaze) This recipe adds a few things extra to actually put it over into the cake category, like glaze, and butter, and cinnamon and sugar. Found at SophistiMom.

5. Zucchini Double Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting [5]: The orange juice and zest in the cream cheese frosting is a nice note against the chocolate -I think. You won’t even know the zucchini is in the cake once it’s baked- it just makes a nice, dark, moist cake. Found at The Feast Within.

6. Cinnamon Zucchini Cake [6]: This recipe is a family favorite. My mom and grandma used to make this recipe and it brings back sweet memories of enjoying zucchini cake on the deck together. From Finding Joy In My Kitchen.

7. Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake [7]: This is my sister Beah’s zucchini cake recipe, and it’s the best. She gave the recipe to me once, years ago, but of course like the moronic little sister that I am, I lost it. She was nice enough to offer me a new copy, though, so I was able to whip this up just in time for her birthday. Recipe from Cast Sugar.

8. Whole Wheat Zucchini Cake [8]: This cake was maybe my favorite of all the experiments. It was really, really good (and by was, I mean that every last piece is gone). Of course I happen to think cream cheese frosting makes everything good! Found at Heavenly Homemakers.

9. Chocolate Coconut Zucchini Cake [9]: I decided to give the chocolate, zucchini, coconut combination a whirl. It was really worth it. I tried to make it as healthy as I could without sacrificing the flavor and texture that I crave!! I definitely believe that the taste of the cake can be determined by the taste of the batter. This cake recipe surpassed the batter taste test!! I dusted it with confectioner’s sugar before serving. Perfection. Found at CookWomanFood.

10. Zucchini Olive Oil Cake With Lemon Crunch Glaze [10]: A perfect summer into fall cake. The tail end of the almost never ending zucchini, the brightness of lemon, along with the depth of toasted walnuts, cinnamon, ginger and clove – and olive oil – the clincher. I’m a big fan of cakes made with olive oil. The concept unleashes my inner italian-ness. Found at Cook Eat Fret.

11. Zucchini Bars/Cake [11]: Now the recipe calls for cooking this in a sheet cake pan. I cooked it in a 9 x 13 dish and cooked 15 minutes longer. I’m sure this recipe would work if you substituted carrots for the zucchini also. Found at Real Mom Kitchen.

12. Chocolate Zucchini Cake [12]: This cake is rich, moist, chocolatey, fudgy, dark and… and… and absolutely delicious. This cake received uber-raves from all who tried it. There’s two full cups of grated zucchini in the recipe and not one person could tell… they all asked me if I was sure about the zucchini. Found at The Repressed Pastry Chef.

Tip: Freeze this season’s bounty [13] and you’ll have enough zucchini on hand all year long to bake your favorite cakes and breads [14].

Posted By TipNut On June 3, 2010 @ 1:03 pm In Recipes | 1 Comment

One of the most popular ways to use up and preserve a bounty of cucumbers is to make homemade pickles since they’re always appreciated on the dinner table. If you’re a little inexperienced when it comes to home canning, making pickles is one of the easiest and less fussy ways to gain experience. This week’s Recipe Hit List is an assortment of recipes I’ve collected and hand-picked from around the ‘net, some sweet, some spicy, some favor garlic–each promise to please! Enjoy
Homemade Pickle Recipes

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

Kansas A Walks You Through Making These Delicious Bread & Butter Pickles — kansasa.blogspot.com

1. Bread & Butter Pickles [1]: (as seen in picture) A mini tutorial for anyone who wants to make the best, best, best, Bread & Butter Pickles! The recipe came from my Aunty Bonnie’s webpage and she’s tweaked it over the years to perfection She’s not exact with her measurements (must run in the family) so a little extra of this, or not enough of that, is okay. Recipe from Canadian Crafter.

2. Bread And Butter Pickles [2]: I was watching Tyler Florence’s cooking show on TV a couple of weeks ago. He shared a recipe for Bread and Butter pickles, which was so easy to make that I had to try out the recipe at home. I made a small batch and had the pickles after 2 days in the brine. It tasted really good, I like the freshness and the crunchiness of the pickles. Try it. Found at Seasaltwithfood.

3. Classic Bread & Butter Pickles [3]: No Canning Required!) This recipe produces classic bread and butter pickles—the kind my mom used to make every summer when I was a little mouse. They’re sweet. They’re tangy. They have a fabulous crunch. Like my Quick, Fresh Pickles, there’s no canning required for these babies (in fact, they just need an overnight soak in the fridge). And, honestly, they don’t need to be canned. This recipe only uses about 4 pickling cucumbers. Your pickles will keep for a few weeks in the fridge—which is more than ample time to gobble them up. Found at The Hungry Mouse.

4. Home-Made Pickles: Half Sour, All Awesome [4]: I am still amazed at how easy it is to make these pickles – if you’re the kind of person who feels that no self-respecting deli should be without a barrel of brined pickles just begging to be fished out and sliced, you owe it to yourself to give these little guys a shot. The crunch and the bite of the pickles are a wonderful reward for doing it yourself, and the cost of the ingredients is still less than what you would pay in the store for a decent alternative to home-made. Found at Capital Spice.

5. Recipe: Half-Sour Dill Pickles [5]: This recipe makes the kind of mild, crunchy pickles you find on the tables of every deli in New York City. Proportions aren’t terribly important, except that you need to have enough salt and vinegar to make the brine, and enough brine to cover the cucumbers while they sit on the countertop for a day or two. Found at The Perfect Pantry.

6. Refrigerator Garlic Dill Pickles [6]: These are not pickles you can put on the shelf in your pantry. Two days after you make them they have to go in the refrigerator and they have to stay there until you eat them. Found at dlyn.

7. Refrigerator Pickles And Banana Peppers Recipe [7]: They definitely taste closer to a dill pickle than the ones stored only in vinegar, and it’s worth the extra effort. I’m really glad that I threw the banana pepper in there – it’s much better than the heavily pickled store-bought ones! Found at Eat This.

8. Grandmother’s Refrigerator Pickles [8]: Refrigerator pickles are pretty easy though we had to go buy mustard & celery seed (I can’t believe a drawer full of herbs & spices & we didn’t have these). The pickles have to be stored in glass or crockery according to the recipe. We cleaned out a couple of empty jam containers & they worked perfectly. We made 1/2 the following recipe & filled two jars. Found at A Good Appetite.

9. Quick Spicy Dill Pickles [9]: They are refrigerator pickles — no heat involved. I know that this is the mildest summer I have ever experienced in Chicago, but it is still nice to not have to turn on the stove. Summer makes me lazy. Just combine the ingredients and let them do their magic overnight. You will be rewarded with a jar of seriously addictive pickles. Found at Lottie And Doof.

10. Refrigerator Pickles [10]: These were a hand-me-down recipe from his mother. And they couldn’t be simpler. Found at A Way To Garden.

11. Slightly Sweet Dill Refrigerator Pickles [11]: Substituting rice vinegar (instead of cider or wine vinegar) produces a pickle that’s less tart. Found at Epicurious.

12. Asian-Inspired Quick Pickles [12]: These pickles were delicious. They held onto a fresh crispness while still absorbing all that puckery vinegar goodness. Found at Food In Jars.

13. Broadway Deli’s Quick Dill Pickles [13]: These pickles taste just like the one’s grandma used to make, only they’re faster and easier to prepare. To transform bumpy little cucumbers into crisp, garlicky dill pickles, place all of the ingredients in a jar, cover, and shake. In four days you’ll have the best dill pickles you’ve ever tasted. Recipe from Everyday Dish.

14. Homemade Kosher Dill Pickle Recipe [14]: for anyone who doesn’t think they can make pickles; don’t be worried. You can. Following Arthur’s excellent and very easy recipe, you’ll find making them is truly a no-brainer. Found at David Lebovitz.

Learn How To Make A Delicious Fruit Salsa With Cinnamon Chips by chefmommy-brandao.blogspot.com

1. Fresh Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Crisps [1]: (as seen in picture above) It’s fun, healthy and easy…three of my favorite things when it comes to cooking family meals or in this case, snacks. This recipe comes from a kid’s cookbook so it’s of course a great recipe to make with the little ones. Found at Chef Mommy.

2. Strawberry Salsa [2]: This salsa is simply delicious. It’s not what you think… it’s better. It’s your standard chunky salsa with tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, lime juice and more, but sweetened with the addition of fresh, sweet strawberries. It works, and it works well. We ate the salsa with chips and beer, a classic trio. But I think the salsa would be good on chicken, tacos or even fish. Found at Natalie’s Killer Cuisine.

3. Fruit Salsa For Grilled Shrimp [3]: Use this as a basic recipe for fruit salsas—wonderful with just about any food, but particularly with grilled or sautéed fish or shellfish. Basil or parsley can stand in for the cilantro, and pineapple or guava juice is a good alternative to the orange juice. From The Joy Kitchen.

4. Fruit Salsa [4]: You could use any combination of fruit, or preserves. I used Sugar Free Strawberry. I also serve mine with Cinnamon Grahams, but to be perfectly honest, I could eat this right out of the bowl with a spoon and have no regrets. From Burning Kitchen.

5. Nectarine Mango Salsa [5]: This is not your regular salsa. Tangy with the hint of fruit. Ideal on chips. Perfect over pork chops. Superb atop grilled chicken. Way, way better than the demonic black plauge or, you know, regular plagues, for that matter. If you like fruit salsa’s, you will love this recipe. From Cheeky Kitchen.

6. Fresh Fruit Salsa [6]: Summer is coming and all those fresh fruits in your grocery store can be turned into an amazingly tasty side for many dishes. Served up along side halibut (in season now), fish tacos, chicken breasts, salads, or even just as a delicious side dish, fruit salsa is very versatile. Found at Guilty Kitchen.

7. Tropical Fruit Salsa [7]: Served with Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon (recipe included). Found at Aggie’s Kitchen.

8. Fruit Salsa Recipe [8]: his was such a sweet treat, but since I’m a fan of sweet, if worked out perfectly for me. The salsa gets better everyday, because it marinades in all the sweetness and the flavor becomes something out of this world. From Stephanies Kitchen.

9. Lemon Salsa [9]: With plenty of finely chopped parsley to tone down the tartness of the lemon, it’s like tabbouleh, only more intense. It would be lovely with any grilled fish or skewered shrimp, even with lamb or chicken. Found at Canada.com.

10. Chocolate Chips & Fruit Salsa [10]: For the salsa, you can use any type of fruits you like. The original ingredients for salsa recipe are strawberries, pineapple, mango and some mints. For the chocolate chips, the original recipe uses 1tsp of chili powder. However, I decided to use cayanne pepper instead and decrease the amount to 1/4 tsp. I also made the chips into little cups and fill them with fruit salsa. This version work well for the mini dessert at the end of the meal. From Whisk The Pantry.

11. Summer Fruit Salsa (for Grilled Shrimp) [11]: Fresh fruit and succulent grilled shrimp capture the essence of summer in this dish. Found at My Recipes.

12. Fruit Salsa with Ginger Chips Recipe [12]: Pineapple, mango and kiwifruit give Christy Johnson’s fruit salsa a tropical twist. “This combination of fruity salsa and crisp gingery chips is wonderful on a hot day,” Found at Taste Of Home.

13. Hot Pepper and Cool Watermelon Salsa [13]: We were grilling flank steak and chicken cutlets and the spicy mix was great with both. Actually, it’s good with so many things: fish, seafood (try it with shrimp), pork and rice, too, especially chewy brown rice. Is there anything else left? From In The Kitchen And On The Road With Dorie.

14. Mango Salsa [14]: I made some mango salsa to go with my grilled prawns. The salsa is sweet and a little bit tangy. It complement very well with the lightly seasoned prawns. Do try my mango salsa recipe. From Seasalt With Food.

40 Tempting Homemade Ice Cream Recipes To Try

Posted By TipNut On June 24, 2010 @ 1:07 pm In Recipes | 4 Comments

Who doesn’t love homemade ice cream! This week’s Recipe Hit List features a whopper of a collection of various flavors and techniques for making ice cream that I’ve found from around the ‘net–some simple while others more intense. You’ll find quite a variety to choose from featuring all kinds of fruits and flavors–perfect treat for hot summer days…Enjoy!

Cool Down With A Scoop Of Homemade Ice Cream Topped With Fresh Fruit & Wafers
Recipes For Homemade Ice Cream

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

1. Ginger Ice Cream [1]: Once you get the hang of this method, you can make as many flavors as your imagination will allow. Instead of ginger, use anything that you can “steep,” like teas, or citrus zests, or mint leaves or herbs (lemon thyme, anyone?). Recipe from Pastry Pal.
2. Marmalade Ice Cream [2]: This ice cream tastes like a grown-up version of the creamsicle, made extra delicious by the orange peels and liqueur (What’s not to like?). It’s quick to put together since it doesn’t require any cooking or chilling before freezing. But the best part? It stays soft even after staying the freezer for a while. You can dig right in without bending up all your spoons! From Kitchen Koala.
3. Easy Homemade Southern Peach Ice Cream [3]: This ice cream is super creamy and smooth and just downright delicious! It tastes like a custard ice cream, but without all the work!! Whodathunk it? From Deep South Dish.
4. Homemade Peaches and Cream Ice Cream Recipe [4]: I found the original recipe for this a touch on the icy side. Without eggs it isn’t as silky as French ice cream, so substitute some peach schnapps for 1 tbsp of the water if you have it on hand. Liqueurs soften ice cream, but don’t add too much or it won’t set. Found at Wasabimon.
5. Magic Vanilla Ice Cream – No Machine Required [5]: In place of the ice cream maker it called for heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk. Have y’all ever made ice cream this way? Let me tell you, it’s super easy and as the Raiger would say, “it’s way GOOD!” Found at Fly Through Our Window.
6. Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream [6]: After making homemade ice cream, I am always astounded at just how quick and easy it really is to make. This sweet treat calls for just a few ingredients and is quite rich and creamy. The great thing about this recipe is that you probably already have most, if not all, the ingredients you need. It’s basic, but it’s good…kinda like the South. From A Sweet Pea Chef.
7. Walnut-N-Chip Ice Cream [7]: There is something so delicious and simple about the combination of sweet cream and bits of dark chocolate. The sweet cream with a hint of vanilla envelopes your mouth and embraces it with a warm flavor, then the pieces of dark chocolate begin to melt and blend in with the cream to create an irresistable combination. Now add in the crunchy and toasty flavor of little walnut pieces and it brings the Chocolate Chip Ice Cream to new heights…along the lines of one of my all-time favorite ice creams Mint-N-Chip…I’ve named this version Walnut-N-Chip. From Triple Scoop Desserts.
8. Fresh Ricotta Ice Cream [8]: This is a very unique ice cream. There are no eggs and no cooking since the base is not a custard. It’s very light and tastes purely of fresh ricotta. The texture is a bit flaky, which makes this a fun new sensation in ice cream. The few bits of pistachio, chocolate and candied orange peel are wonderful if you choose to add them. Found at Pastry Studio.
9. Salted Butter Caramel Ice Cream [9]: So here I’m presenting my very own recipe for Salted Butter Caramel Ice Cream which I guarantee is better than anything you can get anywhere, including…gasp…the glace Caramel at the venerable Berthillon: It’s so good, I can unconditionally make that claim. So there. Recipe from David Lebovitz.
10. Cherry Pit/ Noyaux Ice Cream [10]: Recipe from Eggbeater.
11. Creamy Homemade Mango Ice Cream Recipe [11]: I am quite a non-eggy person, so I put my own ideas & measures together & made this. Lovely & creamy ice-cream…& maybe would do even better in an ice-cream machine (whinge, whinge)…I used my arm!! Recipe from Passionate About Baking.
12. Cherry-Vanilla Ice Cream [12]: Recipe from The Daily Green.
13. Black Cherry Ice Cream [13]: You don’t need an ice-cream machine to make this rich and creamy soother. From Canadian Living.
14. Turkish Coffee Ice Cream [14]: This is a simple preparation of some good coffee steeped in milk and cream along with orange zest and cardamom pods. Once it’s cooked to a custard, I add an extra shot of espresso just to keep things lively. I think this will hit the spot for those of you who love coffee ice cream and are looking for a slight twist. Found at Pastry Studio.
15. Homemade Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream [15]: You can eat the ice cream right away or put it in the freezer for later savoring. From Craftzine.
16. Brown Butter Ice Cream [16]: (Made with a blender) My brown butter ice cream recipe is a result of an experiment. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a quest: one to see how much brown butter I can get away with adding into a pretty classic, basic ice cream base recipe. I want my brown butter ice cream to actually taste like brown butter, not just hinting at it. From Chez Pim.
17. Brown Sugar Vanilla Bean Ice Cream [17]: The flavor of this was a little richer than your average vanilla ice cream, due in part to the brown sugar. A light drizzle of caramel sauce was the perfect topping for this sweet treat! From Amanda’s Cookin.
18. Homemade Matcha Ice Cream Recipe [18]: If you’re really looking for a heavier matcha flavor, you might use a bit more, but be judicious. You shouldn’t try to replicate the bitterness of straight matcha; you’re just trying to use the matcha as an accent. From Jason Truesdell.
19. Cafe au Lait Ice Cream [19]: Recipe from Eagle Brand.
20. Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream [20]: Here’s a simple recipe for low-fat chocolate ice cream. Our version has all the richness you’ll need but about 90 fewer calories than store-bought premium ice cream and a whopping 15 grams less total fat and 10 grams less saturated fat per serving. From Eating Well.
21. Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream [21]: A lovely fresh strawberry ice cream that is head and shoulders above any strawberry ice cream I’ve ever eaten. The fresh strawberry flavour was just lovely! This recipe would work equally well with any fresh fruit (peach, cherry, raspberry, etc.) From Food & Whine.
22. Heavenly Fresh Mint Ice Cream [22]: This easy ice cream is even more delicious topped with berries or sliced peaches. From Delish.
23. Homemade Banana Ice Cream [23]: This banana ice-cream is pretty easy and quick to make. No need to cook any custard. And the texture of the ice-cream is really creamy and smooth. Best of all, it’s homemade, full of natural banana flavours. From Christine’s Recipes.
24. Homemade Rose Petal Pistachio Ice Cream [24]: Found at Laura’s Best Recipes.
25. Cherry Cordial Ice Cream [25]: Recipe from Eagle Brand.
26. Cool Peppermint Ice Cream [26]: The title pretty much says it all… the peppermint is fresh from my garden and wonderfully refreshing! But I had to use a lot of peppermint leaves to get a good flavor, you’ll have to adjust according to your tastes. From Just Making Noise.
27. Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream [27]: Mint chocolate chip is such a classic flavor and it’s easy to make at home. You’ll only need 4 ingredients and an ice cream freezer. Like my other ice cream recipes, this one requires no cooking. From Eat At Home.
28. Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream [28]: I made this ice cream for friends and family members twice in the past few weeks, and both times it received high marks in the flavor department. Another plus: it doesn’t freeze quite as firmly as most homemade ice creams, so it’s scoopable and ready to go pretty much straight from the freezer! From Kitchen Koala.
29. Cinnamon Ice Cream [29]: Serve a scoop of this subtly spiced ice cream with Caramelized Apple Topping or on a wedge of New England Apple Pie. From Eating Well.
30. Cardamom-Vanilla Ice Cream [30]: Recipe from Hungry In Hogtown.
31. Tiramisu Ice Cream [31]: Two classic Italian desserts in one, this ice cream has the rich tang of mascarpone with hints of coffee liquer. Layering the ice cream with cocoa powder after you’ve churned it gives it beautiful stripes. From Desert Candy.
32. Pineapple Ice Cream [32]: Recipe from Epicurious.
33. Strawberry and Banana Icecream (eggless) [33]: Recipe from Escapades.
34. Caramel Ice Cream Recipe [34]: After numerous tests we settled on this rich, slightly salted ice cream with just the right amount of caramel flavor. We made it for our Caramel Sundae with Cinnamon-Sugar Chips, but it’s equally delicious on its own. Recipe from Chow.
35. Homemade Oreo Ice Cream [35]: If you like Oreos ice cream, you must try this recipe. I made quite a few tweaks including using whole milk and heavy cream instead of half and half. My changes are reflected below. From Pennies On A Platter.
36. Homemade Vegan Soy Ice Cream [36]: This vegan soy ice cream recipe is easy to make, infinitely customizable, and has a luxuriously creamy texture. If you don’t have an ice cream machine, you can put the finished recipe in the freezer in a plastic bowl, and stir every 15 minutes until it thickens. This is called a semi-fredo. Recipe from Good Baker.
37. Hazelnut Cookie Sherry Vinegar Swirl Ice Cream [37]: A few paragraphs down in this post you will find not only an ice cream recipe, but also a recipe for the hazelnut amaretti that provide the crunch in this ice cream. They’re quite good on their own as well, if you’re into that sort of thing. Found at Habeas Brulee.
38. Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream Recipe [38]: Recipe found at Cafe Fernando.
39. White Chocolate Ice Cream [39]: Recipe from Food Network.
40. Recipe: Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Ice Cream [40]: It’s hard to go wrong when making this simple yet elegant dessert. Found at Style At Home.

21 Tempting Coffee Cake Recipes

Posted By TipNut On December 3, 2009 @ 1:11 pm In Recipes | 1 Comment

Coffee cakes are definitely a comfort food for me–a slice is acceptable to have for breakfast, welcomed as a dessert or served with a cup of coffee while visiting with friends. They remind me of my Great-Grandmother who always had one ready to serve because you just never knew who would show up on the farm to talk about the latest town news and politics (in those days unannounced visitors were always a welcome interruption from the day’s chores). Coffee cakes were standard fare in the vintage kitchen and homemakers couldn’t find enough new recipes to try. This week’s Recipe Hit List is a lovely assortment of recipes I’ve found around the net–they all look so good it’s hard to decide which to try first .
Coffee Cake Recipes

Plum Coffeecake Recipe with Cinnamon Streusel By thekitchn.com

1. Plum Coffeecake with Cinnamon Streusel [1]: This is a company-for-breakfast cake, one of those easy, old-fashioned coffeecakes that can be whipped up at an hour’s notice when your in-laws come into town for the weekend. It smells like cinnamon while it’s baking and makes a great presentation; the plums sink in to the batter in purple crescents, oozing out of every slice. Use really ripe plums, the ones that are practically falling out of their skins. They’re often on sale at the farmer’s market, and their scarlet sweetness perfumes this cake. Recipe from The Kitchn.
2. Autumn Apple Coffee Cake [2]: The apples are juicy, the spices and the Cinnamon swirl in the middle give a wonderful warmth to the flavor and a cake with almond undertones is complimented quite well with an almond streusel topping? A winner in my book, this is the perfect coffee cake for overnight guests or a morning meeting. Recipe from Good Things Catered.
3. Apple Ginger and Hazelnut Coffee Cake [3]: This coffee cake was delicious. I was a little wary when I first read the recipe, there is so much ginger, I thought it might be overpowering. But it wasn’t, it was perfect. I also found that this cake got better the next day. Recipe from Janet Is Hungry.
4. Spiced Pumpkin Sour Cream Upside-Down Coffee Cake [4]: Thus, this cake now has a wonderful texture. As the final step, to take the flavor over the top, I added the cranberry and hazelnut topping, which is Delicious with a capitol D. You really have to make this cake. Yes. You. Soon. Make this cake. Recipe from LunaCafe.
5. Walnut Orange Coffee Cake Recipe [5]: Recipe from Taste Of Home.
6. Meyer Lemon Coffee Cake [6]: Layers of thinly sliced Meyer lemons lend a mellow complexity to this otherwise classic coffee cake. Thought to be a cross of a lemon and a mandarin, the fruit has an orange cast, a thin rind, and a heavily perfumed flesh that’s valued by chefs. Recipe from Martha Stewart.
7. Caramel Apple Coffee Cake [7]: Recipe from Dinner With Julie.
8. Pear and Cardamom Coffee Cake with Pecan Streusel [8]: Given their mild flavor, pears work beautifully with cardamom, a enticingly fragrant spice. Though a relative of ginger, cardamom has a unique flavor that is difficult to describe. It is intensely aromatic yet not overwhelming in flavor. It has notes of ginger, clove, and citrus, which is why it works so well when paired with fall fruits. Recipe from Food Blogga.
9. Banana Coffee Cake with Chocolate Streusel Topping [9]: The other day I made this scrumptious banana coffee cake with chocolate chip streusel and do you know what my husband said about it? HE TOLD ME I SHOULD SELL THE STUFF. Sell it. For money. Because it’s just that good. This is quite possibly the nicest thing my husband has ever said about my food before. Recipe from Buns In My Oven.
10. Sour Cream Coffee Cake [10]: The sour cream in the cake made it so moist and gave it such a nice tangy flavor that paired so well with the cinnamon streusel that ran through the center and covered the top of the cake. And don’t even get me started on the maple icing! Recipe from Smells Like Home.
11. Blueberry-Apple Coffee Bake [11]: Even though I feared the coffee cake would never finish baking, it did taste great and had a wonderfully moist texture. The addition of blueberries helped to increase the flavor and worked perfectly with the apple. Recipe from Eating Out Loud.
12. Strawberry Rhubarb Sour Cream Streusel Coffee Cake [12]: What’s better in the morning than a bite of something delicious with a cup of coffee? This coffee cake’s strawberries and rhubarb offer just the right sweet-and-sour balance for a tasty morning treat. Recipe from Canadian Living.
13. Cherry Swirl Coffee Cake [13]: Recipe from Crisco.
14. Cranberry Upside-Down Coffee Cake [14]: The cake is moist, tender, and delicate, a perfect base for the tart cranberries. It smells fantastic, looks impressive, and tastes amazing. But best of all, it doesn’t have two sticks of butter like most coffee cake! Recipe from Craving Chronicles.
15. Cinnamon-Streusel Coffeecake [15]: Looking for everyone’s favorite comfort-food coffeecake? This is it. Soft and moist, nicely cinnamon-y, this is the quintessential breakfast coffeecake. Recipe from King Arthur Flour.
16. Pull-Apart Lemon-Scented Coffee Cake [16]:
This recipe is simple enough, even for someone who constantly flops at bread like me. And it is also very addictive– have friends over for tea so you can finish it in one go and don’t have to keep picking at it by yourself till you’ve eaten the whole thing. After you’ve baked it, the butter may seep out of the dough and appear to flood it– don’t be alarmed and let it be as it cools. The dough will reabsorb the butter and be that much deadlier. Recipe found at No Special Effects.
17. Chai-Spiced Crumb Coffee Cake [17]: Cinnamon is the standard spice for topping a crumb coffee cake. This coffee cake keeps the crumb topping and spices it up a little more by using some of the same flavors that are found in chai, including cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and allspice. These spices really help to make the coffee cake memorable – and they also make you want to come back for a second slice. Recipe from Tartelette.
18. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake [18]: I see nothing about this cake that necessarily makes it a breakfast cake, but we’ll call it that anyway so that you can justify eating it to start your day This is a simple peanut butter cake with a peanut butter streusel topping and chocolate chips. In other words, YUM! The cake was amazingly light and tender, and the topping was delicious. Recipe from Annie’s Eats.
19. Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake [19]: This one is chock full of chocolate chips (A LOT of chocolate chips). the cake itself come out super light and fluffy and it couldn’t be simpler to make. this is a great cake to slice up into bite sized pieces for a brunch, or you could do what i do – get a giant glass of milk, a few forks and dig right into the pan.
20. Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl [20]: The cake is moist and tender with swirls of cocoa and cinnamon and the crumb topping is exactly right—not too overwhelming but just gives that cake that extra crunch it needs. It is a recipe I will make again and again. Recipe from Lottie + Doof.
21. Pineapple Coffee Cake [21]: Not only is this cake completely free of added fats, it also uses only whole wheat and oat flour–no white flour at all–and contains very little sugar. It’s a dense cake without being heavy, and the sprinkling of sugar on top gives it a sweet crunch. Recipe from FatFree Vegan Kitchen.

18 Potato Salad Recipes To Try

Posted By TipNut On July 1, 2010 @ 12:35 pm In Recipes | 1 Comment

{Re-posted for July long-weekend}…I fired up the barbecue for the first time this year (the weather has been unusually nice lately) and now I’m on the hunt for this year’s first batch of potato salad–I’m looking for something new to try. This week’s Recipe Hit List is a great selection of recipes I’ve found around the ‘net, some even healthified! You’ll find old-fashioned favorites & classics mixed in with new twists along with hot and cold versions. Something here for everyone, enjoy!
Potato Salad Recipes

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

Recipe For Lemon & Herb Potato Salad By thedragonskitchen.com

1. Lemon & Herb Potato Salad [1]: (as seen in picture) I’ve never been a big fan of potato salads but I happen to really like this one. The key this potato salad is the lemon. Lemon adds just the right amount of freshness to the creamy dressing. I like to use red potatoes because the pink colour is lovely in this salad and there is no peeling involved. Perfect for when I’m feeling a little lazy. Enjoy! Recipe from Dragon’s Kitchen.

2. Mom’s Potato Salad [2]: No mayonnaise here, just oil and vinegar, Italian-style potato salad. Don’t get me wrong. I like the mayonnaise-based dressing as well as the next person, but this version is my kind of comfort food. I’ve made one change to the way my mom made it – and that’s to add a touch of Dijon mustard. It’s also good with cooked green beans tossed in too, a recipe my mother-in-law used to make. Recipe from Ciao Chow Linda.

3. Russian Potato Salad [3]: I suppose I should now tell you what’s included in this salad: potatoes, carrots, canned green peas, eggs, pickles, mayonnaise, onion (optional), Granny Smith apple (optional), and dill. There are quite a few variations on the basic theme: you can add defrosted peas, boiled chicken, even hot dogs! The key to this salad, in my opinion, is the mayonnaise: I truly love the flavor it adds to the otherwise healthy vegetables. Recipe found at Mango & Tomato.

4. Creamy Dijon-Dill Potato Salad [4]: This potato salad is so incredibly flavorful and is great to bring to parties. When picking a potato, I recommend small red potatoes because they hold their shape better after they are cooked. Recipe found at Cocoa And Cheese.

5. How To Make German Potato Salad [5]: I always thought of this more as a cold-weather kind of dish. But someone suggested it to go along with kielbasi, and it sounded like a great idea. It’s actually easier to make than “regular” potato salad, and is also pretty good cold. Recipe from How To Cook Like Your Grandmother.

6. Zesty Potato Salad [6]: Chunks of red potatoes, Dijon-style mustard and green beans combine with sliced green onions to create a delicious and colorful salad for a luncheon, a church supper or pot-luck gathering. Serve in lettuce cups for a pretty presentation. Recipe from Very Best Baking.

7. Mustard ‘N Dill Potato Salad [7]: Mustard and dill combine in this light and fresh version of a traditional potato salad recipe. Recipe from Land O’Lakes.

8. Potato Salad with Herbed Balsamic Vinaigrette [8]: This potato salad bucks the trend and is a bright, flavorful side dish that doesn’t compete with a main dish in terms of heft, and pairs well with everything from hamburgers, hot dogs and steak to Italian sausage and chicken. The white balsamic is milder than its traditional counterpart, and the fresh herbs bring this dish to life, with a flavor that is subtle and light. Recipe from Brown Eyed Baker.

9. “Healthified” Classic Potato Salad [9]: 53% fewer calories – 74% less fat – 75% less sat fat than the original recipe—see the comparison. Feel good about passing this slimmed salad at picnics and potlucks! From eatbetteramerica. Recipe from Eat Better America.

10. Classic Potato Salad [10]: Use Yukon gold, red or all-purpose potatoes in this classic potato salad. Recipe from McCormick.

11. Warm Roasted Potato Salad [11]: Potato salad is the quintessential summer picnic food, and this is a more refined take on an old classic. Recipe from Vegan Dad.

12. Easy French Potato Salad Recipe [12]: A friend of mine decided to have a last minute Memorial day BBQ and I agreed to make a potato salad. Not wanting something boring or heavy, I opted for this light french potato salad. This recipe comes from my favorite cooking lady, Ina Garten. Recipe found at Over The Hill And On A Roll.

13. Lemon Cilantro Potato Salad [13]: I created this recipe on the fly and really adore it. I can actually taste potato, two kinds, red and purple. I lick my lips to the lemony flavor absorbed into the salad due to loads of lemon zest and juice. The chopped vidalia onions are soft and sweet, while the chopped garlic scapes provide a snappy crunch. Recipe from Eat Boutique.

14. Texas Potato Salad [14]: This is the potato salad that always graced the table at our family barbecues—a thick mouthful that was soft and crunchy, tangy and sweet. But as I asked friends that hail from other regions of the country how they make their potato salads, their recipes sounded shockingly similar. Recipe from Homesick Texan.

15. Tarragon Potato Salad [15]: Simple is best but some times you just need a twist to liven up a classic like potato salad. Tarragon is an herb I don’t see much mention of and it is a shame. I love it, even enjoying a bright green Russian tarragon flavored soda called TapxyH which is a little tricky to find. Tarragon lends a fresh, lively flavor to potato salad without adding any extra time or effort to the usual prep-perfect for those hot days when one barely wants to eat, much less cook. Recipe from Coconut & Lime.

16. Horseradish Spiked Red Potato Salad Recipe [16]: If you really, really prefer sour cream or mayonnaise in your red potato salad- by all means, Babycakes, add some in. But if you’ve never tried a mayo-free dairy-free version of this popular summer side dish, why not give my vegan potato salad a whirl? You might even make some new friends at your next barbecue. Recipe from Gluten-Free Goddess.

17. Potato Salad with Chili-Cumin Vinaigrette [17]: The toasted cumin in the dressing, alongside the fresh cilantro and dried thai chilies, provide a perfect summery dressing with a bit of a twang. Also, since it’s mayo-less and uses olive oil as the base, this is very low in calories and fat, which makes it almost guilt-free. Recipe from 28 Cooks.

18. Hot Potato Salad [18]: Ever wanted to be the cook who made the dish that was a total hit at the picnic? We’ll look no further, this Hot Potato Salad will make your phone ring off the hook with everyone requesting the recipe. Recipe from French Knots.

Bonus Recipes:

* Classic Potato Salad for 50 Recipe [19]: Creamy chunks of potato and crunchy bits of veggies, this traditional potato salad will gain rave reviews from your gang. It’s perfect for your last family gathering of the summer. Recipe found at Taste Of Home.

* Canada’s Best Potato Salad Recipes [20]: An irresistible summer indulgence, potato salad recipes combine fresh new potatoes with delicious herbs and seasonings. Our selections include lightened-up potato salad recipes, trusted favourites plus new twists on plain old potato salad. Here’s a comprehensive list of potato salad recipes – each one equally fantastic – developed by The Canadian Living Test Kitchen.

12 Homemade Bread Recipes

Posted By TipNut On November 20, 2008 @ 1:04 pm In Recipes | 3 Comments

Freshly baked homemade bread, still warm with real butter and topped with some homemade strawberry jam or slices of thick cheese, delicious! Homemade bread is not only heavenly, it’s a frugal treat made with wholesome ingredients and no added preservatives. This week’s Recipe Hit List is a collection of a variety of breads: White, Oat, Rye, Whole Wheat and more. Enjoy!

12 Homemade Bread Recipes
*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

1. American Sandwich Bread [1]: must say, this bread really delivered. It really is a wonderful homemade sandwich bread. One of my major gripes about other loaves I have made in the past is that, while delicious, they do not have the height that I am looking for in a sandwich bread. However, this loaf has great height. The dough was just beautiful to work with and it rose easily. I also appreciate how quick the whole process was. I started in the morning and before lunch we had fresh bread for sandwiches. Fabulous! Recipe found at Annie’s Eats.
2. Decadent Sweet Milk Bread [2]: This makes a soft sweet loaf of bread. It can be totally made in a bread machine, however, I just used the machine to make the dough. Recipe found at Frugal Dr. Mom.
3. Deli-Style Rye Bread [3]: All I’m going to say about this recipe is that after making it, I decided that I am never going to the grocery store for bread ever again. Let’s not ruin this with any more words – just enjoy. Recipe found at Pete Bakes!
4. Homemade Whole Wheat Bread [4]: A fresh slice from the oven with a little butter on the top is like a taste of heaven! Especially when this bread comes from your very own oven and is made from quality ingredients, no additives, and soaked for the highest nutritional benefit! Who can ask for better? Recipe found at Passionate Homemaking.
5. How To Make Great Homemade Bread [5]: I’ve come to appreciate a great loaf of homemade bread for the taste, consistency and the price! With this recipe my kids prefer homemade to store bought bread. Recipe from What’s For Dinner.
6. Oatmeal Toasting Bread Recipe [6]: Makes three 8’’ x 4’’ loaves approximately 24 ounces each, plus 10 ounces dough to save as ‘old dough’ for your next batch. Recipe found at Farmgirl Fare.
7. Easy, No Knead Crusty Bread [7]: This easy bread recipe requires no kneading, and uses the heat and humidity of a Dutch oven to achieve the perfect crispy crust. Recipe found at Mother Earth News (recipe is on page 2 of article).
8. Whole Wheat Beer Bread [8]: Look at that gorgeous loaf! It has a firm and crunchy outer crust but is still soft on the inside. I am so proud of my loaf!! Recipe found at Happy Herbivore.
9. Jamie Oliver’s Basic Bread Recipe [9]: I’m still really mad about bread – I love it. It’s so exciting. It’s such a rewarding, therapeutic, tactile thing and you’ll be so proud of yourself once you’ve cracked it. Recipe found at JamieOliver.com.
10. Honey Bran Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread Recipe [10]: When it comes to baking bread, my motto is If you have friends or a freezer, never bake just one loaf at a time. It only takes a few more minutes of work to bake two or three loaves, and homemade bread freezes beautifully. Recipe found at A Year In Bread.
11. Speedy No-Knead Bread [11]: Recipe from The New York Times.
12. Cuban Bread [12]: This is another one of those breads that are fast and delicious. This recipe comes from the Tightwad Gazette, and is done in less than an hour and a half. Hooray! Recipe found at Fun Foods On A Budget.

20+ Bread Machine Recipes: Breads, Rolls & More

Posted By TipNut On October 29, 2009 @ 1:09 pm In Recipes | 3 Comments

This week’s Recipe Hit List was put together when I received an email request from Rebecca who just got a brand new bread machine and is now looking for recipes to try. There are so many delicious breads in this list and I really don’t know how you’re going to pick the first one to make . You’ll find herbed breads, sandwich breads and even foccacia, bagels, breadsticks, cinnamon rolls and monkey bread. Enjoy!

Bread Machine Monkey Bread Recipe By salad-in-a-jar.com
Bread Machine Recipes

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

1. Bread Machine Monkey Bread [1]: (As seen in picture) As you can see, this is not the usual biscuits out of a can rolled in a ball, then coated with cinnamon and sugar kind of monkey bread. It’s so much better and easy too–if you use a bread machine. Recipe from Salad In A Jar.
2. Caramelized Onion Foccacia (Bread Machine) [2]: I love this recipe! It makes a really big foccacia so I usually make it as a main dish and just add a salad. I love using the dough feature on my bread machine because I can just throw in the bread ingredients. I also have a bread proofing feature on my oven which lets dough rise ~ and really well, LOL! That I have to keep an eye on. From A Recipe A Day.
3. Cottage Recipe: Raisin Bagel Bread (Bread Machine) [3]: Whenever I make bread, I throw a few ice cubes into the bottom of the oven about mid-way through baking. Moister air just seems to make for nicer bread. Brushing the loaf a few times with water while it is baking also adds some moisture to the oven and gives the bread a slightly glossy, less floury finished appearance. Recipe from Cottager’s Wife.
4. Cottage Cheese Dill Bread [4]: Slightly tangy, a little sweet, and with a nice, light texture, it makes a great sandwich bread. Recipe from montcarte.
5. Portuguese White Bread [5]: This bread recipe is a no-fail bread machine recipe that I have used for years. The ingredients are so simple and it makes the perfect loaf of bread every single time. Recipe from Mom Advice.
6. Easiest Zucchini Bread Ever [6]: If you don’t have a bread maker, I would recommend putting all of of this into a food processor or blender because you really want the oats to be chopped up pretty fine to make the texture of this bread nice. Recipe from Mommy’s Martini.
7. Focaccia Bread Bread Machine Recipe [7]: Here is the recipe, hope you enjoy it as much as we do, there is one step to the recipe that I don’t do, I don’t add the Italian Seasonsing to the recipe, we actually enjoy any seasonings baked on top the bread. I usually add to the top sea salt, black pepper, oregano, and parmasean cheese. But you can add anything you would like. Recipe found at Donna’s Musings.
8. Brioche with Yogurt (Bread machine recipe) [8]: A Brioche is a French Bread which is rich and sweet in flavour, usually baked in a fluted pan or tins with a small spherical piece of dough placed on top. However, this recipe is for bread machines. Recipe from Blessed Homemaker.
9. Rosemary Cheddar Bread Recipe [9]: The bread machine makes this herbed loaf a snap to prepare. Recipe from Taste Of Home.
10. Bread Machine Italian Herb Bread [10]: This makes a beautiful, fragrant loaf. One of these days I’m going to make it on the dough cycle and shape it and bake it into a fancy artisan shape, but for now, we just eat the regular squat, rectangular loaves as they come out of the machine. Recipe from Secrets Of A Southern Kitchen.
11. Cinnamon Rolls [11]: I’ve been making these cinnamon rolls for more than 20 years and it has evolved here and there. The biggest change has been going from kneading the dough myself, to making the dough in our bread machine with the dough setting. I really like using the bread maker because I don’t have to touch the dough (it’s an OCD thing) and there’s less mess. Also, the bread machine provides a warm covered place for the dough to rise on its first go round. Recipe from Controlling My Chaos.
12. Pita Bread Recipe [12]: Pita bread made with a bread machine, what could be easier? The only trick is to roll them thin enough (I didn’t roll my my first batch thin enough and they were lofty little pillows, but bad minimal pockets). The thinner batch made perfect pocket pitas. From Collen’s Recipes.
13. Bread Machine Bagels [13]: I love them and once again, the bread machine makes it so easy. You just throw all of the ingredients in the machine, press a button and essentially, there you have it, homemade bagels. Did I mention they are utterly delicious? Plus, you can make any flavor you like. My favorites are everything bagels, which are dehydrated onion (reconstituted in warm water,) poppy seeds, sesame seeds and I like to add a little sprinkling of garlic salt and I also love sesame bagels. Recipe from Madeline’s Adaptations.
14. How to Make Rolls: Letting Your Bread Machine Do All The Hard Work [14]: Use regular flour in your bread machine for the best dinner rolls ever. Here is step by step instructions for baking the perfect rolls, and using your bread machine to do all the kneading. Recipe from Notecook.
15. Bread Machine Recipe for 100% Whole Wheat Bread with Oats, Bran, and Flax Seed [15]: I’ve spent the last few weeks on a quest to create South Beach Diet friendly bread using my Oster Bread Machine, and I finally have a recipe to share! Previously I’ve made South Beach friendly bread in the bread machine using a mix, but this time I wanted to make bread from scratch using all whole wheat flour, very minimal sugar, and a fair amount of fiber. Recipe from Kalyn’s Kitchen.
16. Recipe: Bread Machine Clone of a Cinnabon [16]: Special Equipment: you will need a bread machine, rolling pin, a pastry brush, and some type of large baking dish with sides. Found at Sugarmamabakingco’s Blog.
17. Bread Machine French Bread [17]: After playing around with many different recipes I have finally created a French Bread Recipe that can be mixed in the bread machine that is wonderful! Recipe from Musings Of A Modern Day Mom.
18. Molasses Oatmeal Bread Machine Recipe [18]: My favorite of her many recipes was a Molasses Oatmeal bread that toasted beautifully, had a subtly sweet taste and a lovely light caramel color. After having such amazing success with the basic white bread recipe, I decided to be brave and attempt to adapt her recipe for the bread machine. The outcome is an addictive bread that takes me straight back to the bygone days of Saturday morning cartoons and She-Ra pajamas. I can think of very few things that I find more satisfying than two thick slices of this bread hot from the toaster and generously coated in real butter. I hope you enjoy it! Recipe from Erin Cooks.
19. Bread Machine Rosemary Herbed Bread Like Macaroni Grill [19]: Recipe from Anissa’s Kitchen.
20. Cream Cheese Filled Breadsticks [20]: One treat I really love is from one of the frozen pizza brands when came out with a cream cheese filled breadstick. However they are almost $6.00 a package of six : / ouch! I looked everywhere for a recipe for them to no avail so I came up with my own and actually I think my version really tastes better. Since I could not find a recipe for it online I thought I should post it. Recipe from Altered Artifacts.
21. Recipe: Homemade Soft Pretzels (BreadMachine) [21]: Occasionally I cave and buy that $3 pretzel, but mostly I promise to make this homemade version that is just as tasty yet much less expensive. Since I let the kids form their own pretzels it is also much more fun. It just tastes better when you’ve made it yourself! Recipe from Frugal Upstate.

24 Delicious Dip Recipes

Posted By TipNut On November 12, 2009 @ 1:07 pm In Recipes | 4 Comments

This week’s Recipe Hit List is a tempting list of dip recipes I’ve found around the net. The recipes range from cool, refreshing veggie dips to cheesy hot dips. Lots to pick from and try over the holidays and I guarantee you’re going to find a new dip to try with list!
Delicious Dip Recipes

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

Roasted Beet and Horseradish Dip Recipe By lasvegasfoodadventures.wordpress.com

1. Recipe: Roasted Beet and Horseradish Dip [1]: (as seen in picture) The vibrant purple hue of beets and their sweet earthy flavor make a fascinating dip when combined with tangy horseradish and mellow cream cheese. This really is a beautiful and surprisingly tasty dip with a bite of horseradish. Give you old tired holiday dips a break this year and try something new. Recipe from Las Vegas Food Adventures.
2. White Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Dip [2]: I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it at first, but after it’s refrigerated and the flavors develop, this white bean roasted pepper dip is really delicious! Very different, but so tasty with pita chips or good crackers. Found at Lynda’s Recipe Box.
3. Layered Greek Dip [3]: This Layered Greek Dip is the perfect “something different” to take to any occasion. It’s absolutely delicious- the flavors all go together perfectly, and it’s so good, you have to keep going back to it, because you just weren’t sure that the last bite was as good as you remembered. The ladies I shared this dip with just loved it. I think Andy loved it even more when I brought a little leftover home to share. We seriously couldn’t stop eating it, and I can’t wait for another opportunity to make it again. Recipe from Tummy Treasure.
4. Summer Radish Dip [4]: It was refreshing and great paired with zucchini sticks, little tomatoes and carrots. Perfect for being outside for hours. Recipe from Little Me Big You.
5. Baked Southwestern Corn Dip– Yum! [5]: Our family almost always has this dip at holiday parties, but I figured, why not in the middle of the summer? And, for kicks, why not have this dip for dinner instead of an appetizer? It’s full of yummy veggies so it can’t be completely unhealthy, right? Yeah, just read the list of decadent ingredients…. it’s definitely not health food. But it is seriously good!! Recipe from Daily Sweet Pea.
6. Cool Curry Vegetable Dip [6]: This dip is tangy and tasty and takes five minutes (or less) to make. Recipe from Half Assed Kitchen.
7. Warm Fennel Dip [7]: I had some dip left over and used it in a pasta dish (very yummy!). You could also get away with not adding the sour cream so experiment a bit! Cheers! Recipe found at The Culinary Chase.
8. Seven Layer Nacho Dip [8]: Some variation of this recipe has been found at almost every party or social event that I’ve ever been to. This is one of the simplest party recipes in the books. But, I always find that it is the biggest crowd pleaser. Everyone loves them some nachos. Recipe from Lucy’s Kitchen.
9. Creamy Avocado Lime Dip (Crockpot) [9]: This recipe has you warm this in the crockpot. I think it was really good that way and we liked it. But I also think you could skip the crockpot and serve this cold. The advantage to the crockpot is that it warms the cream cheese and makes it mix together really well. If you serve this cold you would need to be sure that your cream cheese was really soft and then mix everything together really well. Either way this is a really good and really easy avocado dip. Recipe from Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures.
10. Crockpot Sausage Dip [10]: This is an all-time favorite with my family, church family, and friends! Whenever we are planning a youth prayer meeting and we ask what the young people want to eat they all say “sausage dip!” Recipe from Kelly’s Favorite Recipes.
11. Pumpkin Seed Dip with Chili and Lime [11]: This exotic sounding dip tastes amazing with tortilla or pita chips. The lime juice and chili in the recipe are the perfect accents to the nutty, roasted pumpkin seed flavor. You will be pleasantly surprised! Recipe from Kitchen Sketches.
12. The Best Dill Dip Ever [12]: This dill dip is polite, yet ruthlessly efficient at what it does — delicately seasoned with a bit of parsley and a touch of seasoned salt and onion warming the background, it’s a dip where the freshness of dill dominates. Recipe from Shiny Cooking.
13. Spunky Spinach Dip [13]: This recipe combines two of my favorites into one combination- my salsa dip and my spinach dip. The cream cheese adds a creamy consistency to the dip and the cheese adds the cheesiness that I can’t resist. Recipe from Mom Advice.
14. Pumpkin Dip [14]: Don’t skip out on the maple syrup as I almost did, as I realized it really added to the sweetness. Recipe from Pennies On A Platter.
15. Green Olive Dip [15]: I tried the Green Olive Dip with another recipe that I found in the cookbook: Herb Potato Skins. Again, another great find. They puff up as you fry them (the skin separates from the vegetable)…the result is a crispy and light potato snack. Green Olive Dip & Herbed Potato Skins…I’m thinking you’re gonna like this one. Recipe found at Ceramic Canvas.
16. Perfectly Simple Guacamole [16]: It is Dad’s philosophy that when you find the perfect recipe for a particular dish you should stick with it. We believe we have found the perfect guacamole recipe. I can’t remember the last time we used a different recipe. It was in the far past. Recipe from Cooking For Seven.
17. White Bean and Artichoke Dip/Spread with Rosemary & Kalamatas [17]: You can serve this dip with just about anything—fresh veggies, crackers, pretzels, baguette slices—but it’s heavenly on homemade pita chips. I also think it would be delicious spread on a sandwich. Recipe from Farmgirl Fare.
18. Hot Clam Dip [18]: Here in Virginia there is a little chill in the air this weekend and college football season has begun at our house! Here is a dip that is great during the games. It is so good–and easy too. It has a taste of summer with the clams yet warm to help with the chill in the air. Go Team! Recipe from In The Shadow Of The Steeple.
19. Baked Artichoke Dip Recipe [19]: The world would be a happier place if more people would make creamy sauces out of (real) amazing cheeses, and then pour them over steaming pans of sauteed artichokes, caramelized onions, and fresh herbs. Found at East Village Kitchen.
20. Healthy Artichoke Dip [20]: Healthy might be a stretch, especially if you’re digging in with a bag of salty potato chips. But this dip is definitely not the mayonaise, cream cheese and more cheese dip that every other recipe seems to have. The star of this dip is actually artichoke hearts, made creamy with blended white beans (and, yes, a little Vegenaise and tofutti). But, in my defense, Vegenaise is a little miracle that should, at times, be celebrated. Recipe from My Veggie Kitchen.
21. Crock Pot Recipe: Mexican Cheese Dip [21]: It’s easy, but tastes great and the leftovers can be stores in the frig and warmed up later. Recipe from In The Treetop.
22. Spanakopita Dip [22]: Spanakopita Dip is the dip that can do it all. A meal-of-a-dip full of spinach, studded with feta cheese, garlic, onions and various herbs and spices it is wonderful at topping chips, crackers and veggie sticks. But it doesn’t stop there. With very little effort, a bit of phyllo dough, and some olive oil, it can be transformed into a beautiful and flavor-packed amuse bouche or finger food. (With just a little more tinkering, it can be made into actual, honest-to-goodness spanakopita. But more on this in a future post.) No magic required! Recipe from Foodie With Family.
23. Secret Family Crab Dip Recipe [23]: I had to get special permission from my family members to share this recipe with all of you. We have been eating this crab dip for years at all our family celebrations. We have been indulging in it at family get togethers ever since. Now you can too! Recipe from Suzie The Foodie.

Tender Ways With Less-Tender Cuts Of Meat

Posted By TipNut On February 18, 2010 @ 6:06 am In Cooking Tips | No Comments

Slow Cooking Stew Is A Delicious Way To Enjoy Cheaper Cuts Of Meat

It is to your advantage, and to the family’s food budget, to know your cuts of beef. If you know exactly what section of the animal they come from you can save by buying meat which is lower priced because it is in less demand. By knowing how to cook these less-tender cuts, you can get the ultimate in flavor and tenderness!

These are the wholesale cuts from which the various retail cuts of your penny-saving meats will come:

* From the fore end of the carcass you can buy chuck and shank.
* From the mid undersection you will buy brisket, short plate and flank.
* From the far or aft end you will purchase rump and round.

The successful ways of cooking these are braising and cooking in liquid. Both are classed as “moist heat” methods. Long, slow cooking in “moist heat” in which meat is surrounded by steam or hot liquid softens the connective tissue–that part of the meat which is less tender. So with proper cooking, wonders can be worked with cuts that are considerably less expensive than steaks and rib roasts!

Before offering you a chart, which clipped and pasted onto a card for your recipe file will be your purchasing as well as cooking guide, let’s highlight these methods of cookery…

How to Braise Meat:

* Brown meat on all sides slowly in a heavy utensil. This develops the nice brown color and also adds to the flavor. You may or may not dredge the meat in flour first–it does help to develop a deeper brown–but if you do, fat should be added to the pan. When not flour-dredged, the meat may be browned without fat being added.
* After browning season with salt and pepper; spices, herbs and vegetables may also be added. Seasoning is important with these cuts and you can do much to add flavor to the end product by adding an extra dash of seasoning at this stage of cooking.
* The next step is to add a small amount of liquid. This may be water, broth or soup stock, water from cooked vegetables (which you thoughtfully saved instead of poured down the sink) or sour cream. Cover the utensil with a tightly-fitting lid. This will hold in the steam which is necessary for softening the connective tissue. Then cook slowly at a low temperature; this means over low heat, a simmer and not a boil. It may be done on top of the range or in the oven; if in the oven do not set temperature over 300°F. Cooking too rapidly over high heat will result in a dry and not-so-tender end product. It will most surely afford fewer servings. One of the penalties in ignoring this rule is shrinkage and if you are economy minded, you don’t want to shrink your savings along with the meat!

A tasty accompaniment of any braised meat is the gravy made from the liquid in which the meat is cooked. It also contains good food nutrients too. So serve the liquid as a sauce or gravy; it may be thickened if desired.

How to Cook Meat In Liquid:

* Brown meat as described for braising. Cover with water or stock. This is the principal difference between this method of cookery and braising–meat is entirely covered with liquid. Season well. Try one or a combination of these in addition to the usual salt and pepper: Marjoram, bay leaves, parsley, thyme, celery and onion tops, cloves, garlic, peppercorn, tomatoes or green pepper.
* Simmer meat, tightly covered, until tender. Overcooked or boiled, it will be flavorless and stringy, hard to slice. And it will also shrink! If you plan to serve the meat cold, let it cool and then chill it in the stock. This preserves flavor and prevents shrinkage.

Here then are cuts you can save money on:
From You Get Braise Simmer in Liquid
Round Ground Beef Anything Goes!
Heel of Round X X
Rump Round Steak, Top & Bottom Round (Swiss) X
Flank Flank Steak and Fillets X
Short Plate Plate Boiling Beef, Rolled Plate & Short Ribs X X
Brisket Brisket X X
Corned Beef X
Shank Shoulder Knuckle X Soup
Cross Cut Fore Shank X X
Chuck Arm Pot Roast and Arm Steak X
Rolled Boneless Neck X X
Pot Roast X

Braise chuck, rump and heel of round 3 1/2 to 4 hours for 3-5 pound cuts. Allow 1 1/2 to 2 hours for 2 pounds of round (Swiss) steak cut 1 inch thick and 1 1/2 hours for 1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak.

Simmer in Liquid 3 to 4 hours for 4 pounds of shanks, 4 to 6 hours for 4 to 8 pounds corned beef brisket. Allow 4 to 6 hours for 8 pounds fresh beef brisket or plate.

How To Make Rose Water: Recipes & Tips

Posted By TipNut On August 2, 2007 @ 6:54 am In Beauty & Home Spa,Crafty Ideas,Recipes | 7 Comments

Rose water (also spelled Rosewater) can be used in cooking as well as a rich beauty aid.

Try some as a facial toner or astringent, in your bath water or as a facial splash (refresher).

Notes on Preparation:

* Rose petals must be freshly picked and have no pesticides or chemicals used on them.
* Pick the roses just after the morning dew has evaporated, about 2 to 3 hours after sunrise.
* Use only the petals, not the stems or leaves.
* Wash the petals quickly to remove any bugs or specks of dirt and immediately process with one of the methods below.
* If you don’t grow your own roses, ask at the local florist or Farmers Market for organic roses.

See Recipes Below For How To Make Rose Water…
Old Fashioned Recipe for Distilled Rosewater

(Rose Hydrosol)

Items Needed:

Fresh rose petals (3 to 4 quarts)
Ice cubes
Distilled Water
Enamel canning or stock pot with lid
Deep, heavy heat proof bowl

Directions:

* Fill the bottom of the pot with the rose petals and pour water over them until the petals are just covered. Place the bowl in the middle of the pot. The rim should be at least a couple inches higher than the water. If you have a canning rack, you can set the bowl on top of that so the bowl doesn’t sit directly over the heat. A pyrex loaf dish underneath the bowl would do the trick too. Set these in place first before adding the rose petals and water.
* Cover the pot with its lid, but position the lid upside down so that you have a dipped “container” to hold the ice on top (to be added later). Now turn on the heat and bring the water to a boil.
* Once the water is boiling, fill the top of the inverted pot lid with ice cubes. Turn the heat down and keep at a bare simmer for about two hours.
* Top up the ice as needed and quickly peek occasionally to see that the petals don’t boil dry.

This process will enable condensation to form on the top inside of the pot lid. The condensation will drip down into the bowl inside the pot, the liquid inside the bowl is your rose water.
Old Fashioned Rose Water Recipe

Items Needed:

Rose Petals
Distilled Water
Enamel Pot (any size)

Directions:

* Fill the bottom of an enamel pot with the rose petals a few inches deep. Pour distilled water over the petals until they are just covered.
* Turn on heat for the water to be steaming hot, but do not boil. Let the water steam until the petals have lost their color, the water has taken on the color of the rose petals and you see rose oil skimming the surface. This will take approximately 60 minutes.
* Strain the water and squeeze out the liquid from the rose petals, this is your rosewater.

Homemade Rosewater – Quick & Easy Recipe

* For every 1 firmly packed cup of rose petals, pour 2 cups boiling water over top. Cover and steep until the liquid is cool. Strain, squeeze out the liquid from the petals, and refrigerate the rose water in a sterilized jar.

Oven Recipe for Rosewater

* Preheat oven to 450°. Line an enamelware roaster a few inches deep with rose petals. Fill with distilled water until the petals are just covered. Place the roaster uncovered into the oven and bring to a boil.
* As soon as it starts boiling, turn off the heat and cover the roaster. Leave in the oven until the water is cool (several hours). Once cool, strain the water and squeeze all the petals to remove the liquid. Store the rose water in the refrigerator.

Important Notes

* After preparing the rose water with your recipe of choice, refrigerate in a sealed, sterilized jar.
* Use in recipes that call for rose water, but make sure to use fresh batches. Although the water is refrigerated, my notes have vast discrepancies in shelf life. Some state several days, some say a year.

Rose Water Beauty Aid Additive

* Add 1 part rubbing alcohol or vodka or witch hazel to 10 parts rose water to use as a facial astringent or toner.

Infused Water Recipes: Refreshing Non-Alcoholic Summer Drinks

Posted By TipNut On July 14, 2008 @ 1:09 pm In Food Tips,Recipes | 5 Comments

Today’s feature tip is from Bohemian Revolution with Infused Water Recipes – Refreshing Non-Alcoholic Summer Drinks [1].

If you caught my tips earlier this year for How To Beat The Soda Pop Addiction [2]–you’ll find these suggestions a great way to increase your water intake while cutting the soda without even missing it:

Spanish cuisine brought us aguas frescas, water infused with fruit juices or juices from veggies like cucumber. They have a very light, refreshing flavor that’s definitely not just water, but they’re not as heavy as a smoothie. The only problem: most recipes load them up with sugar, making them very little improvement over soda (also, the natural sugars in fruit may be less bad than refined sugar, but they’re still virtually empty calories). There are a couple of ways to turn the agua fresca concept into an exciting light beverage that’s health-friendly.

A few of the tips you’ll find:

* You can invent your own recipes for fruit-infused water
* You can also infuse with herbs and even flowers
* If you’re watching calories or carbs (fruit calories are mostly carbs, so it’s the same battle either way), be aware which fruits are more or less sugar dense than others

Plenty of resources and information provided, please check out the site for all the details . More cool and refreshing summer drink recipes to enjoy: Raspberry Iced Tea Cooler [3], Homemade Lemonade [4] and Iced Cappuccino [5].
