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. 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. 5 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1 cup water 2 cups flour 6 tablespoons melted butter 1/4 teaspoon salt extra butter for fryingIn a blender combine eggs, milk, water, flour and melted butter.

strawberry, lime and black pepper popsicles I had these popsicle molds for 14 months before using them once, yet in the weeks since I used them for the first time, I’ve made three other varieties and considered doing a 5-day week of posts here exclusively devoted to popsicle offerings. I’ve basically fallen down a popsicle rabbit hole so deep, now every time I see something that looks good, I think, I wonder how that would taste as a popsicle. (My family’s looking nervous around me, understandably.) So, what changed? I bought this book on Paletas a few weeks ago and, look, I admit when it came out I thought, “a whole book of Mexican-style popsicle recipes? And then there are these. But I did not make these with tequila in them, in part because the ingredients are so absolutely amazing without it, and also because “Yes, mommy made a freezer full of vibrant red homemade popsicles from your favorite fruit but they’re not for you, nya-nyah” is some pretty cruel tantrum bait. Freeze for about 5 hours, or until completely frozen.
My Fridge Food - recipes you already have in your fridge Triple Berry Pie (It's diVine!) This recipe is for one double-crust 9" pie. To get a flaky crust, the key is COLD. I refrigerate all of my ingredients about 30 minutes prior. At the very least, make sure the butter and water are both cold. Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. salt 2 Tbsp. granulated white sugar 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces 1/4 - 1/2 cup ice water Combine flour, sugar and salt in a food processor (or bowl, if that is what you have to work with). Turn the dough out onto your work surface and divide in half. Take one disc and roll it out onto your floured work surface until about 12" in diameter. Take the second disc, and roll it out as above. In the meantime, continue on to the berry filling.
One Particular Kitchen 90 Healthy No-Heat Lunches for Taking to Work During the years I taught elementary school and also worked on this blog, I was grateful for leftovers that I could take to school and warm up for lunch, But when you don't have a place to heat food at the workplace, healthy lunches are a lot more challenging. I had a request on the Kalyn's Kitchen Facebook page to share ideas for healthy brown bag lunches that don't need to be heated, so for a few weeks now I've been looking for brown-bag friendly favorites that I'd enjoy for a healthy lunch. Once I got started I found quite a few options; hope there is something here that will appeal to you if you're someone who packs a lunch for work! In this round-up I focused on dishes I think will keep in the fridge for at least a day or two, but check individual recipes for more information about that. Some of these dishes contain ingredients (like fresh tomatoes or avocados) that I'd cut up in the morning and add when I eat the lunch, although you might not be as fussy. Nutritional Information?
How to Make a Cake with Zebra Stripes on the Inside! | MyCakeSchool Blog Hi everyone! Happy Friday! Okay, it is just about 15 minutes until Saturday here, but I’m still going to call this a Friday blog -:0) — Let’s celebrate by making a zebra cake! In my last video tutorial, I demonstrated how to decorate a cake with zebra stripes–a very fun look for your safari, fashion or just plain funky themed cakes! Well, today I’ll show you how to continue the theme to the inside of the cake. By the way, I did not invent the zebra cake. First, let’s talk batter– You’ll most often see chocolate and white zebra cakes (although it would be fun to try a hot pink and white zebra cake sometime!) We went the boxed cake route and bought a box of Duncan Hines Devil’s Food Cake, and a box of Duncan Hines French Vanilla. We made slight changes to the box directions: French Vanilla Cake– We used 1 cup plus 3 Tablespoons Water rather than the 1 cup that it calls for. That’s it! Let’s get started! Two bowls of batter…. Continue the process until your pans are approx 2/3 full. Hooray!

Springy Flower Pot Desserts: A Blast From My Past Back on the golf course, I used to have a traditional back-to-school party for my friends and me every year. Because I apparently had nothing better to do with my time and focus, I’d have Cranes invitations printed, would dress in my finest floral dress or suit, and welcome 15-30 girls into my parents’ house, where we’d all toast one another with sparkling grape juice and feast on chicken salad with dill and baked brie and things like that. And so what if most of us have long since replaced the grape juice with the hard stuff…and so what if few of us look as good in our floral suits today as we did back then. Anyway, for the party after my sophomore year, I made these delightfully fun little flower pot desserts. Okay, so they didn’t actually say those things. What I’m trying to say is, I have a few unresolved issues I need to work out. The Cast of Characters: Ice Cream, Pound Cake (frozen is just fine), Oreos, and Gummy Worms (optional.)
