Apple braid

Apple braid
Hi all, I’m Rachael from La Fuji Mama and am tickled to have been asked by Jenna to share one of my crazy concoctions here on Eat, Live, Run! Jenna is very brave! I’ve had apples on the brain lately, partially due to these three handsome little fellas sitting on my counter top waiting for me to decide what they would become. I love a good apple pie, but wasn’t really in a pie mood. Then, when I woke up one morning craving homemade bread, inspiration struck. Apples + Homemade Bread = An Apple Braid! tossed them with cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice and threw them in the oven to start cooking while I made the dough for the braid. When the dough was ready, I rolled it out into a big rectangle, then cut each side into strips. The finished braid went onto a baking sheet into the oven until it was a nice light golden brown. The whole process is much more enjoyable if you have a sous chef to help out. Apple Braid Makes 1 bread (approximately 12 servings) Print this recipe! For the Apple Filling

Making Your Own Raw Organic Larabars Nov 23, 2012 by EDITOR Making Your Own Raw Organic Larabars One of our favorite snack bars used to be the original larabar. That is until they got bought out by the corporate machine and then invested in initiatives going against the awareness of genetically modified foods. Your larabars can be gluten free, dairy free, soy free, vegan and even nut free if you like. All the following recipes follow the same format: 1. 2. *If you find your Larabars are a bit crumby add a couple tbsp of warm water and process again.

10 Recipes for Soup Weather When rain is falling, wind is howling or I’m just worn out from a hard day, nothing soothes me quite like a steamy bowl of soup. Maybe it’s because soup is the go-to food when you’re sick (chicken noodle, anyone?), or maybe it’s because soup’s aroma fills the entire house while it simmers away. Or perhaps it’s because soup is something anyone can make, with practically any ingredient on hand. Remember the story of Stone Soup? Luckily you won’t need to resort to putting a rock in your soup – we’ve got lots of options for savory, slurpy soups that are just the way to snuggle into autumn. What soup recipe do you turn to when the weather gets chilly?

Fish Sarciado Fish Sarciado Sarciado in Tagalog means “cooked with a thick sauce”, that is why this fish dish is accompanied with a thick chunky tomato sauce. Fish Sarciado was invented by Filipinos in search for better ways to make a dish out of left over fried fish as these leftovers are not really as appetizing as the freshly fried ones, so an ingenious approach by adding tomato sauce and eggs did made the trick by not just rehydrating the fish but as well as removing the fishy odour and adding more flavour to the leftover. Having said that there’s nobody stopping you to cook this using a freshly fried fish, you can also use any fish you want as the sauce works with almost every fried fish I had tried like Mackerel Scad (galunggong), snapper (maya maya), grouper (lapu lapu) and even tuna. So the next time you have a fried fish or any left over fish and is planning to bin it try this dish instead. Ingredients Method 1. Like this: Like Loading...

Make up a batch or two of dough and lay out familar toppings such as tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella for the traditionalists. Now for the really fun part-scout your fridge and pantry for interesting sauces, vegetables, fruits, cheeses, condiments, preserves, dried fruits, etc. and lay them out for guests to mix and match. Assign each person a small rectangle of dough (you can fit about three on a typical cookie sheet) and stand back. Some of our pizza party topping favorites have included Thai peanut sauce, barbeque sauce, pesto, cocktail sauce mixed into tomato sauce, duck sauce, olives, capers, cashews, smoked salmon, fig jam, speck or bacon, hoisin, roasted chicken.
