Tisk Tisk On Me....

Hello Friends,

So, I have been late on posts lately, and it's not right for me to promise a post, and it not be there. So I will say now that I'm very busy right now, and posts will be late for a little while, but not more than a day late.
Right now I'm trying to get a job so I can buy a car, then I will have more time from not riding the bus, and having it take an hour for a normally 15 minute drive! So you're tired, you come home, you don't want to cook, but you're super hungry, and you have to eat something that will hold you over for a few hours.  I have the perfect recipe for that! Strawberry Lassi!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of strawberries (hulled). 
• 2 tablespoons of honey. 
• 1 cup of plain greek yogurt. 
• 2 tablespoons of milk. 

Blend everything in a blender until smooth. Serve on ice. Enjoy! 

Happy Cooking!

The Best Ginger Cookies!

Hello Friends,

Once again, I'm so busy I didn't have time to write a post :( But I'm making it up to you! These cookies are soooooo good!

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups of Brown Rice Flour Blend.
• 2 teaspoons of baking soda.
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt. 
• 1 1/2 sticks of butter. 
• 2 tablespoons of ground ginger. 
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. 
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves. 
• 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. 
• pinch of cayenne pepper. 
• 1 1/4 cups of packed dark brown sugar. 
• 1/4 cup of molasses. 
• 2 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger.
• 2 eggs. 
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. 
• 1 cup of plain potato chips. 

Cream the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl mix together the baking soda, flour blend, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, both the pepper and cayenne pepper and whisk to combine. Add the molasses. grated ginger and eggs to the sugar and butter mixture and beat with an electric mixer until combined. Slowly add the flour mixture while beating with an electric mixer into the wet ingredients. You will probably have to switch to hands to mix the dough better. Once you have a dough ball, make a little volcano like shape and pour the potato chips in in and began to fold the potato chips in the dough. Don't over fold and crush all the potato chips, you still want big pieces. Preheat the oven for 350F
on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet line up little dough balls on the tray and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Repeat baking process until all the dough is gone. Serve warm! Enjoy!

Happy Baking!

Stuffed Peppers.

Hello Friends,

I wanted to start out this post saying "thank you". This blog has become so much bigger than I could have ever hoped for! It's a huge honor to know that I'm helping someones' day become a little bit easier. Love all you guys! <3 So here's today's recipe: stuffed peppers!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 pound of ground beef. 
• 1 cup of cooked white rice. 
• 1/2 cup of corn. 
• 1 small minced onion. 
• 4 bell peppers. 
• 1 cup of your favorite pasta sauce. 
• 2 cloves of garlic minced.
• 1/3 cup of red wine (optional). 

Heat a large pan on medium heat greased with a little oil. Preheat the oven for 350F. Saute the minced onion and garlic, until tender and slightly yellow. Add the ground beef and saute until it's no longer pink. Add the pre-cooked white rice, corn, wine and pasta sauce. Simmer until most of the liquid is cooked off. Cup the top off each bell pepper like a lid, and set aside. Take out all the seeds in the pepper and fill with the filling. Place the "lid" back on and bake in a baking dish for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot! Enjoy!

Crepes!

Hello Friends,

I've been going through some crazy stuff lately, so I'm very sorry that I didn't post this yesterday like I should have! I had planned to post this recipe about a month ago, but when I made it for the first time I grabbed a random flour blend I had in the pantry and used it. Sadly the flour blend wasn't labeled so I didn't know what flour it was. So I re made it this time knowing what flours I used! So here it is!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/3 cups of whole milk. 
• 4 eggs. 
• 2 tablespoons of oil.
• 1 cup of mochiko aka sweet rice flour. 
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt. 

Mix everything in a bowl until smooth. heat a medium sized pan on medium heat and grease with a little oil. 

Once the pan is nice and hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter and swirl it around so it coats the bottom of the pan evenly. Cool for 2 minutes then flip and cook for another minute. You can serve it with strawberries and whipped cream. I like mine with a little honey and butter. Enjoy! 

Happy Cooking!
