These were whipped up pretty quickly this morning from Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. Made a couple of changes as the use of cheddar required more flour than expected. This makes 6 large scones (or are they biscuits?).
Scallion & Cheddar Scones
Ingredients:
1.5 cups WW pastry flour (or All Purpose)
pinch of salt
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
2 [...]
A week and a half ago, I posted up our receipt and a poll as to whether or not we should be counting Emergen-C packets as part of the grocery receipt. The results are in and it turns out that 72% of our readers clicked on the second option: “No. You guys need to [...]
This was the dessert I made for one of our dinner parties and it’s part of the Daring Baker’s Challenge.
I need to include this language for their checkers:
This month’s challenge is brought to us by Karen of Bake My Day and Zorra of 1x umruehren bitte aka Kochtopf. They have chosen Tuiles from The Chocolate [...]
This month, Phil and I decided to do one of the challenges listed on Is my Blog Burning? The challenge was to utilize cabbage, of which I am a huge fan. Instead of relying on a recipe from a cookbook, we attempted to come something on our own. The result, while not our greatest food [...]
Phil came home sick today, so no big and crazy dinner. I had already started the rice balls when he got home, so here is a lovely picture of them. They are very tasty! I must thank Maangchi for her excellent video tutorial on how to make these. An important note: make sure you don’t [...]
I know the official start of the Chinese New Year was on Monday, but we’re having folks over tonight. What’s on the menu?
Homemade Dumplings (yes, I made the dough) filled with red cabbage, celery, onions and carrots
Wide Fresh Rice Noodles w/Green Vegetables, Homemade Seitan and spicy Ginger & Garlic sauce
Homemade Fortune Cookies and Rice Balls [...]
Behold this week’s receipt! I also did some shopping in Chinatown to get some groceries for a belated Lunar New Year dinner we’re throwing tonight. Sometimes, it’s just amazing what you can get. In addition to all the groceries on the receipt, I got:
Sweet Rice Flour: $3
Scallions: $.50
Green leafy vegetable that looks like baby bok [...]
Saturday
Breakfast: Tina had some of our semi-successful homemade granola bars and tea. Phil had some of our home-baked bread with peanut butter.
Lunch: Tina’s mom took her out to lunch. Phil nibbled here and there while working on a variety of non-food-related projects at home.
Dinner: We made a dish with tempeh and kasha, which [...]
Here’s the recipe for the caramelized onion soup we served at that dinner party a couple days ago. I think that you might normally reserve bread bowls for thicker, pureed soup so that the soup doesn’t soak right through the bowl, but this un-blended soup worked just fine. In fact it sort of [...]
I haven’t had my coffee yet, so this is brief:
Breakfast: Toast (via homemade bread) and a hardboiled egg
Lunch: Caramelized Onion Soup (from Thursday’s supper)
Snack: Tina ate an apple
Dinner: Cheese and Yves Veggie Bratwurst Sandwiches on Homemade Bread; White Bean Soup w/Carrots and Parsely Puree (I mixed the white beans left over from the white bean [...]
