german pancakes Saturday, December 2, 2006 Back when I was still getting daily “are you okay?” and “do you need anything” phone calls from my mother each morning after my little rumble with the stairs, she told me one more she’d just made German pancakes for breakfast. Well no, I don’t. The recipe, by the way, mom says she got from one of those inserts that came with her at least 30-year old blender, completely crushing my romanticized notions of this being something her parents over brought from the “old country.” German Pancakes From my mom’s old blender cookbook Yield 2 9-inch pancakes. Korean beef BBQ (Bulgogi) recipe Hi everybody! I’m eventually posting a video for bulgogi today. I posted a simple bulgogi recipe a few years ago but it was without a video. Delicious bulgogi depends on three things: a good cut of beef, a delicious marinade, and the method you use to cook it. First, a good cut of beef always makes for delicious bulgogi. Secondly, the marinade: the marinade in this recipe is the best that I’ve yet developed. Thirdly, when we talk about the best cooking methods, grilling over charcoal will always be the best. I was invited to my friend’s BBQ party in the Catskills in upstate New York a while ago. Everybody loved my bulgogi! Also, the recipe for the spicy pork BBQ in this video will be posted soon! Ingredients 1 pound of beef tenderloin, sliced thinly into pieces ½ inch x 2 inches and ⅛ inch thick Marinade (for 1 pound of beef): Directions for Vegetarians: Use the same marinade above and replace beef with mushrooms.
Veggie Alfredo Lasagna I… I can’t speak. This creamy comfort food veggie Alfredo lasagna is heaven to me. And I will elaborate on that, I promise, but I can’t move on without talking about what makes this whole thing work: the garlic-butter-Parmesan-flavored, 50-calories-per-serving sauce. Made with love from cauliflower. You’re like, yeahhhh, you told me about that already. Yes I did. This sauce controls me. Just for a little walk down memory lane, here’s where we’ve seen this veggie sauce make reappearances: Creamy Cauliflower Garlic Rice Healthy Chicken Alfredo Pizza (with a really yummy whole wheat crust) Healthy Fettuccine Alfredo and now this lasagna. Like I said, carbs and cheese. The truth about this lasagna is that even with the carbs and cheese in there, it’s completely jam packed with fresh vegetables (like, more than 5 cups worth of fresh tomatoes, carrots, and spinach) and it’s only got 240 calories per slice. That, and figuring out how I’m going to brave Super Target for the first time. Serves: 9 Notes
How to Make Crêpes Without a Crêperie A brief tutorial on how to make crêpes at home, no crêperie required. Just you, your stove and a bit of batter and you’ll have a plate full of thin pancakes in no time at all. I’ve always wanted to live abroad, even if just for a short time. While the dream of leaving and exploring was there, the reality was and is that I remain fully rooted in the Midwest.In college I was a single parent. In order to declare my Spanish major, I had to get the mandatory study abroad waived. Rather than live somewhere new and explore, I sat in my apartment and cooked, dreaming of leaving. To the eggs and milk, add in flour, melted butter and a bit of salt. When it’s time to cook, heat a pan with rounded edges over medium-high heat. Cook the crêpe for 30 seconds or so. Slide the crêpes into a flat pile and let them cool a bit while you repeat the process and make more crêpes. And that’s it. If you’re wondering, no, I still have not been to France, nor have I ventured to Australia.
Hot and spicy rice cake (Tteokbokki) recipe When I lived in Korea I learned the secret to making good tteokbokki from a famous place in a market. It was run by an old lady who could always be found stirring her tteokbokki. People were lined up to buy it. I saw she used dried anchovies in her stock, and that ingredient made a huge difference in the flavor. I once ran out of dried anchovies and made tteokbokki without it. Ingredients: 1 pound of cylinder shaped rice cake, bought or homemade. Directions: Add the water, dried anchovies, and dried kelp to a shallow pot or pan.Boil for 15 minutes over medium high heat without the lid. Remove from the heat and serve hot.

Sephardic Salsa - Middle Eastern Tomato Garlic Salad Recipe This garlicky tomato salad comes from the Sephardic side of my husband’s family.
