Baked Bloomin' Onion

Baked Bloomin' Onion
There comes a time in your life when you realize that moms aren't perfect. I mean, don't get me wrong, moms are the best (at least mine is), but sometimes they can be downright conniving.I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true. I mean, remember when she used to give you the prized soggy french fries at McDonald's? BUT. There's only one problem. It's not worth it my friends. But even though we may have an aversion to this infamous American art form, we still can't resist that irresistible crunch. To make your blooming onion, you will start with the obvious. I was looking for a big sweet onion like a Vidalia, but I couldn't find one. First slice off the top. Peel off all that skin and then flip him over. That way your onion can stand up easier without rolling over which makes it easier to slice it into wedges. Just make sure you don't slice all the way through. Now drench it in some eggs and stuff. Then it goes in a mixture of corn flake crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Related:  RecetasComfort Food Recipes

Secret Ingredient Stovetop Mac and Cheese You guys, our water was just off for almost two whole days. I repeat: TWO WHOLE DAYS. Almost. The pump in the well was broken or something. It was wretched. I spent most of the time guarding the kitchen, sullenly eying the mountains of dishes which had already accumulated and biting the heads off of anyone who wished to add to the heap. When it came to be about lunch time I could see all the hungry eyes glancing furtively toward the cupboards full of my clean dishes and I knew I had to make a move.I had just been browsing Pinterest (something I... ahem... seldom indulge in...) and had stumbled upon this recipe for cheese sauce and it inspired me with its use of corn starch and evaporated milk. I did dirty one bowl to photograph it in though.

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentines day. Mine was a mixed bag. We had a nice, no frills dinner at one of our favorite sushi joints and had a great time. Now for the bad: my mom threw away my keepsakes, including a small antique headpiece I wore at my wedding and a broken plastic music box my dad gave me on my 7th birthday. I probably should have brought them with me when I moved, but storage is a huge issue here. And they were only occupying a small space in the closet in my old room. When I’m sad, I tend to bake. So I baked a lot this week. Traditional crumble, whether apple or other types, are way too sweet for me. Additionally, it’s grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free. It’s great dessert for two… or for one if you so desire. Simple Apple Crumble Recipe Serves 2 people Ingredients For Crumble 1/2 cup of almond meal/flour 1 TB coconut oil (heaping TB if using sugar, level TB if using honey) 1 TB sugar or 2 tsp raw honey (see Cook’s note if using honey) pinch of salt Cook’s Note:

Your Guide to Allergen-Friendly Baking: Egg Substitutes Being a newly eggless baker, finding good egg substitutes for your baked goods at home can be an overwhelming task. Well, fret no more! Here is a bit of clarity and guidance to help you understand what egg substitutes are out there and what type of baked good it can best be substituted into. I choose not to use eggs when I bake purely based on a preferential stance. Mainly the smell. We all have our personal reasons why we each started this eggless journey. Here is a list of all my personal favorite egg substitutes when I bake. Egg substitution is fairly simple. Each item has its own purpose and role in a certain type of baked good. I would not recommend using a flax egg for a cake because flaxseed meal does not do a whole lot for leavening a recipe. *Please note that this list is not the last word on the matter. So what are we waiting for?

Sarah Bakes Gluten Free Treats: dairy free peppermint patties For as long as I can remember, my childhood favorite candy was York peppermint patties.
