So I love love love apple butter...I buy a new jar of Tap'n Apple at least once a week cuz it's so sweet and tasty and low in calories and carbs, etc.
Anyway, I would love to make my own apple butter from scratch, but every recipe calls for sugar...the only ingredients on my beloved Tap'n Apple are apples and apple cider...does anyone have a recipe that doesn't call for sugar?
Thanks!
So...my boyfriend and I just bought a house, and his parents are coming for the first time this weekend. I'd like to make some nice, kinda fancy hors d'oeuvres and snacks that will really impress since his dad's an AMAZING chef....any suggestions please?
Thanks!
So...for health reasons I have to steer clear of dairy, sugar and wheat (the 3 tastiest things!!!!). I'm actually doing OK as far as breakfast, lunch & dinner, but I have a MASSIVE sweet tooth, and I love to bake.
Does anyone have some really good vegan dessert recipes that even my meat & potatoes boyfriend will love? I like agave nectar, almond milk, etc. so no worries there...one more difficulty - no soy if possible (at least not too much)...Thanks!
I have an unnatural love for cupcakes. They're so adorable and delish and just perfect!
Do any of you have fabulous cupcake recipes? Simple yellow cake w/buttercream frosting, or something more elaborate?
My boyfriend and I are about to move in together so, since he doesn't cook, for the first time in my life I will have my own kitchen! I love to make things from scratch and I'm really looking forward to finally being able to make stocks, bread, yogurt, etc. from scratch. What are some other "building blocks" type things that I can make? The new kitchen has tons of storage so that's not an issue.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Creme brulee....any flavor....the only problem is that the dish it comes in at most restaurants is too small. I guess that's why god created ben & jerry's creme brulee ice cream....
I've been making bread with buckwheat flour recently...it's much heavier than wheat flour, but if you sift it first it works, and it has a delicious flavor
Rapunzel's organic whole can sugar is DELISH...better than white, better than brown...I use it in my baking and it adds such a good flavor...
I also use agave nectar, which is fantabulous
I add agave nectar, nuts, cinnamon, and maybe some fruit if I can find it....
I agree with eleeb....but try Moonstruck on the west side....they have a back area maybe you could get them to close off...
If you want the best cheesecake, then you must go to Junior's...although their flagship is in Brooklyn, they have a store in the Food Court of Grand Central station...it's worth it...mmmmmmmmmmmm....now I wish I had a slice!
I use chorizo in my black bean soup...it's not a traditional black bean soup, but people go crazy for it...
I sautee the chorizo with onions, celery and carrots, I season woith cumin, corriander & black pepper(no salt cuz the chorizo is salty enough). Add chicken stock, broth or water (whatever I have on hand), black beans and more cumin & corriander...after it's been cooking for a while I add fresh cilantro...
For a topping, I mix greek yogurt with cumin, salt and finely chopped fresh cilantro...
Ooh---and def stop by Balthazaar...even just to the bakery for their bread...it's phenomenal
Katz's for deli...it's just the best...period.
Al Bustan is scrumptious if you like Turkish food...
Churrascaria Plataforma...a delicious Brazilian restaurant. The waiters bring different delicious skewers of meats to your table and slice them on to your plate...yum!!!
Indochine is an old favorite...the food is brilliant...
Sour-Patch Kids, Skittles, and other candies sold at movie theaters in large quantities, primarily to fourth-graders. I avoid making eye-contact as I make the purchase and then run off to the theater.
p.s. my girlfriend is dying for these tickets... please give them to me... please
This is kind of embarassing, but we're supposed to be honest here right? Just to be clear, these are *guilty* pleasures...
1. Butterscotch Krimpets (eat them quickly so no one notices and then lick off any icing stuck to the plastic)
2. Real whipped cream straight...a little dash of vanilla, high peaks, and then into my mouth!
3. Swedish fish (wow...I don't think I've ever told anyone how I feel about swedish fish)
Desserts I would not mind being caught with and would like in front of me this instant:
Sprungli
warm chocolate chip cookies
hot fresh Krispy Kreme glazed donuts
mint chocolate chip ice cream
Strawberries covered with dark chocolate...any day!!
Dark chocolate toffee - Yummy
Any kind of ice cream - in large quantities.
Chocolate covered pretzels - love them!
A spoonful of Nutella with Better than Peanut Butter and whipped cream!
Plain cheesecake with tiramisu on top. yummmmm!
Entemann's cheese danish
Unofficially and unanimously is strawberry ice cream, whether breyers/edys/turkey hills (the good kind). I'm supposed to take just one spoon; however, temptation gets the best of me as I often cheat by scooping more than one spoon.
