No Knead Bread: so easy a 4-yr old can make it! Monday, September 10, 2007 No Knead Bread: so easy a 4-yr old can make it! It’s been almost a year since NY Times unveiled the secret to the revolutionary No-Knead Bread. And while fads come and go, this certainly is a recipe that has transcended the fickleness of foodies. It’s time to revisit the bread…. as many of us have been brainwashed by this summer’s ice cream! We’ve made close to 60 loaves since last November and I’ve got to tell you, it is still one of our family’s favorite things to eat. I firmly believe that every person should bake a loaf of bread at least once in their lifetime. No Knead Bread recipe so insanely brilliant – no sticky fingers, no doughy mess, no intricate measuring, no complicated kneading. So, without further blabbering, I’ve pimped out my son to demonstrate that baking No Knead Bread is so simple a 4-year old can do it. Of course I had to bribe him with 2 temporary tattoos.

So, let’s start. 3 cups of bread flour in a big bowl. 1/4 teaspoon of instant yeast: Banana Bread Recipe. Photography Credit: Elise Bauer This banana bread has been the most popular recipe on Simply Recipes for over 10 years. Thousands of people make it every day. Why?

The beauty of this banana bread recipe is you don’t need a fancy mixer!

You can toss in a cup of chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips if you want, or put the batter into muffin tins and make banana nut muffins instead. I was given this banana bread recipe years ago from my friend Heidi H, who, many years before, had begged the recipe from a ski buddy’s mother—Mrs. Here’s a quick little video I put together on how to make this banana bread, please check it out!

Bulgogi and Spicy Slaw Sandwich | cHow Divine...cHow Divine… I made Bulgogi and Spicy Slaw Sandwich last week. It’s the same sandwich I was talking about in my last post. It’s just a simple sandwich of bulgogi and spicy Korean-Style slaw.

You can add condiments or slices of cheese. But it’s totally unnecessary. It was soooo good in its simplicity. The soft bun, juicy bulgogi, and the spicy – but creamy – slaw were so perfect together. My husband literally (and I really mean literally) could not talk while he was eating it. Bulgogi and Spicy Korean-Style Slaw Sandwich Recipe Makes 2 sandwiches Ingredients ~ 13 oz. tenderloin or rib eye 3 TB tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) 1 TB sesame oil 3 large cloves garlic, finely minced 1 1/2 -2 TB agave or honey 1 TB mirin generous amount black pepper canola oil for the pan Spicy Korean-Style Slaw (recipe follows immediately) 2 slices of provolone or monterey jack (optional) 2 soft sandwich buns or 4 slices crusty bread with soft interior Stir together all of the vegetables in a large bowl.

Unbelievably Easy Roast Beef | The Crepes of Wrath. I present to you all a Christmas roast. It’s the perfect holiday meal. This roast beef is rich and flavorful, while still very buttery and tender without actually using any butter! Believe it, friends, for I speak the truth. This roast beef is perfection. I had never made a roast beef before, so I was extremely happy with this meal. The outside was crusty, lightly spicy, and expertly seasoned. Happy Holidays! Look at how simple those ingredients are! Cover a baking sheet with foil, then place a cooling rack over top. Make the garlic into a paste. Continue to press down on the garlic with the side of your knife until it starts to form a paste. I know this is a terrible picture, but it should be as smooth as possible. Mix the garlic together with the pepper, oregano, basil, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Rub the roast with olive oil then rub with the herb and garlic mixture. Heat the remaining oil in a medium pan and add the roast, browning on each side for 3-4 minutes. Cook time: Total time: Jalapeño Popper Dip. That’s right, you heard it here- Jalapeño Popper Dip! I love jalapeño poppers and have even tried to make them, which didn’t turn out as well as their purchased cousin and were pretty labor intensive. The word labor makes me run the other way. Have you ever made poppers before? Dealing with jalapeños is quite an undertaking as one has to be very careful not to burn their hands or rub their eyes during the process. And frying at home can be messy sometimes.

So when I found this Jalapeño Popper Spread on allrecipes.com I was trilled some one had figured out how to deconstruct these little gems and turn it into a dip. I read through some of the reviews and suggestions and developed my own version of the original recipe. Just look at that thick layer of prebaked crust. I took this appetizer to a neighborhood gathering last Saturday and everyone really liked it- a lot. Look at that beautiful golden crust atop a bubbly creamy and flavorful base.

15 Minute Creamy Avocado Pasta. Oh…my….gosh. Alert the grocery store because there is going to be an avocado shortage in my town. Well, more than usual that is. [And yes, I said ‘store’.

I used some fun pasta to increase the nutrition factor- first, 1 serving (3oz) of spelt pasta. A couple of the out of focus ones… Avocado Fries. Oh dear. I never should have done this. This may be one of my biggest mistakes all year. Can’t take it back now. So we’re totally enjoying our grilled avocados, but my husband innocently asks “What else can you do with avocados?” And so my daughter tweets this recipe, and I'm laying all the blame on them. Sigh…. At a buck fifty a pop (at least around here), avocados can easily run up quite a tab on the grocery bill.

Baked Wonton Tacos. When I was a little kid, around every New Year’s, my mom and grandma would sit down and make Mandu {Korean version of potstickers or wontons} all day to make Teokguk {Korean version of wonton soup} and I’d just sit with them trying to help out. I remember trying to help out making my own Mandu, though not really successfully. Then my mom and grandma made their own mandu skins from scratch… And now… how grateful I am that I can get premade mandu skins so easily… although I think I should try and make my own skins sometime… It’s definitely on my to-do list. But until then, these premade wonton skins would do. I’ve been looking for ways to use these little yummies in different kinds of cooking.

I’ve always used wonton skins for just wontons… Then I saw that you can use wonton skins for ravioli… So I thought there must be other ways to use the skins, too. I guess you can use anything for anything you like. Boil one chicken breast (boneless and skinless) until fully cooked. Famous Chili Recipes. Punchfork | The best new recipes from top food sites.
