Big Red Kitchen: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. The original and unique Cinnamon Roll Pancake recipe created by Robin Sue! My little Deven loves pancakes and wants me to make them all the time, but I don’t often enough. Late last night my friend had spotted this Cinnamon Bun Pancake Recipe from the blogisphere and posted it on her Facebook status suggesting for her daughter to make them. Wow, Cinnamon Bun Pancakes, that would be a winner in my house too. So I went to bed with pancakes dancing in my head. I dreamed up ways to make this pancake recipe look and taste more like a cinnamon roll.

I wanted a Cinnamon Roll Pancake that had a Cinnamon Roll’s telltale swirl, here is what I did… I created a typical cinnamon roll filling and placed it in a pastry bag to be swirled over the pancakes as they cooked. After pouring 1/4 cup pancake batter in a hot skillet, I swirled the cinnamon filling mixture over top. Mix until smooth and pour into a second pastry bag just like you did with the cinnamon mixture above. Another Thing of Interest! Breakfast pizza.

My son’s favorite game in the whole world is Let’s Play With The Other Baby! You Know, The One We Keep In The Mirror. We bring him over to this giant mirror in the hallway and he goes berserk, he paws at the “other” baby, kicks his legs, squeals and laughs. It cracks us up too. Babies: they’re so cute when they’re kinda confused! It took us a few weeks to realize how sad this game actually is. Or more accurately, what I didn’t make: baked eggs and busy stratas and quiche and baked French toast and winter fruit salads and anything involving jam on bread or plates and forks. I was a little dubious about the intersection of mozzarella and eggs — I had a very awful omelet with that combo, plus basil, a few years ago — and I was also convinced that the eggs would roll right off the crust but ended up finding this pizza absolutely, utterly perfect in every way.

Chilli trick by Gordon Ramsay does work. | NARCISSISM IS NECESSARY. You’ve probably noticed that most, if not, all my dishes that I’ve posted recently contained chillies. Well I can’t help it that I love my food with kicks but mostly, you got to blame Gordon Ramsay for my chilli obsession. Well, through television, he taught the world and me the neatest way to seed chillies. This tutorial is for those without the privilege of a food channel… # – First, roll the chilli with the your palm on a chopping board for about 10 seconds.

You can roll it between two palms too. # – Then cut off the top of the chili. . # – Now, hold it firmly in your hand, over the rubbish bin, with the cut part facing downwards, shake vigourously. . # – Look ma, no more seeds! Now you can slice, dice, julienne, do whatever you want with your clean, seeded chillies :) Find recipes online  |  Foodily  |  Food, I love you.

Chickpea Nibble -- Martha Stewart Food. Garden slugs | Organic natural slug control. Slugs and snails are annoying pests, more so as they are “invisible”. They are rarely seen at work because they come out at night and hide in dark and moist places, mostly underground. I accidentally discovered this very easy and organic way of reducing and eventually eliminating slugs from the garden. Initially, I had a problem with a cat from the neighborhood. Mostly in spring when our small city patch is bare and being prepared for new seedlings, the cat would be inspired to dig in and do her business there.

I tried several tactics and one was to scatter squeezed out orange halves around the garden. I read somewhere it deters the cats. Eventually, the cat stopped coming due to oranges, new seedlings planted, or other tricks. Now, whenever I make freshly squeezed orange juice, I scatter the halves around the garden edges and pick them later, usually few hours after dark. What to do with all the slugs?

But did you know that you can also preserve fruit in alcohol, such as brandy or vodka? It is a way of preserving the flavor or essence of the fruit for later use. This method consists of steeping fresh or frozen fruit in alcohol for several weeks. In the end, you end up with some “drunken fruit” (good as a dessert topping) and a flavorful alcohol that can be used to make dazzling cocktails, punch, deserts or sauces.

But if you take it a step further and add a little sugar syrup to the mix , you now have delicious homemade liqueur! WOW! Homemade Raspberry Liqueur: This little gem is versatile in the kitchen and so easy to make.
