On of the first things Cartoonist and I wanted to do was to bake something from the Savor cook book, which we had picked up on the cruise. We looked and looked, remembering how things tasted, and decided ont he Low-Fat Apple cake. We didn’t have the ingredients for the Coulis sauce, nor for the […]
why apple sauce, of course
by Laura R. on 22. Aug, 2010 in apple, Apples, Fruit, Sauce
I was at a loss. I had baked and cooked, and couldn’t figure out what else to do. I lamented to my sweetie, when she called, that I still had all these apples left, and I didn’t want them to go bad. Why don’t you make apple sauce? she asked. That is what you usually […]
Wonderful Apple Custard Pie
by Laura R. on 21. Aug, 2010 in Apples, Custard, Fruit, Pie, Uncategorized
As I said, I love the Moosewood Cookbook. The recipe for Apple Custard Pie was easy to follow and tasted great. Cartoonist said this was one we had to make again. This called for 2 cups of peeled and sliced apples, put in to a pie crust. I am really bad at making pie crusts. […]
Apple Bread, turns out
by Laura R. on 20. Aug, 2010 in Apples, Fruit, Gluten-Free
I love the Enchanted Broccoli Forest, as well as The Moosewood Cookbook. I have not been let down by anything I have cooked from there, so I turned to these two books for what I made next. I found an Apple Bread that didn’t look bad, or too hard, so I set to it. First, […]
Apple Cake, Cement Cake
by Laura R. on 19. Aug, 2010 in Apples, Bananas, Gluten-Free, Plums
I still had plenty of apples, so the next recipe I decided to make was one from the newspaper, and I decided to alter it as much as I wanted…and yes, I knew that was a bad idea, but oh well. I not only wanted to use up apples, but the plums I had, and […]
…and too many apples
by Laura R. on 18. Aug, 2010 in Apples
And we also had too many apples. This is also not usually a problem, as Cartoonist loves apples. She can never get enough of them, and eats to many a day. But, like the perfect storm, the apples we got from the farm were tart , which Cartoonist doesn’t really like, and she was away […]
Pancake recipe for breakfast
by Laura R. on 08. Aug, 2010 in Bananas, Pancakes
We have a lot of ingredients in the house, since we started cooking from scratch, but they all aren’t put together. Makes for having to make things rather than grabbing things in the morning. The other morning Cartoonist woke up and didn’t like anything that I could offer her that was pre-made, but rather then […]
What do you do with plums?
by admin on 03. Aug, 2010 in Desserts, Plums
Well, what do you do with plums, other than eat them? One thing, not to do, is to leave them on the counter until they go moldy, which is what happened to the first batch I got from my CSA. So, I was bound and determined not to let that happen again. I almost took […]
No Cherry Cake
by admin on 02. Aug, 2010 in Cherries, Fruit
I went to the farmer’s market today, to pickup the the things I didn’t get from the farm. I was also meeting a friend there, who brought me a book for cooking things from farmer’s markets. Local Flavors. She said it was one of her favorite food porn books. I thanked her, and went looking […]
…and not cooking
by admin on 31. Jul, 2010 in Fruit, Strawberries
Sometimes, when it is hot, you see all these recipes in the paper about not cooking, and making something light. It’s been hot, the last few days, and I have been mostly eating nuts and berries. Granted, a whole pint or two of blueberries, but since I am the only one home at the moment, […]
