Homemade Mozzarella Cheese

Homemade Mozzarella Cheese
Mozzarella is one of the easiest cheeses to make, it only takes 30 minutes and the taste can't be beat! The ingredients are simple although a couple of them you may have to search a bit for, but the end result is worth it--especially when you can say "I made it myself!" Homemade Mozzarella Cheese 1 gallon whole milk (just be sure that it is not Ultra-pasteurized, any other kind will work, store bought, fresh from the cow (or goat)) 1 tsp. citric acid* 1/4 rennet tablet* 2 tsp. cheese salt* A big pot Thermometer Slotted spoon (please ignore the mess in the background, we still haven't finished putting things back together after our wall project) Place milk in large pot with thermometer. Sprinkle 1 tsp. citric acid over milk and stir. Turn heat on med-low and heat milk to 90 degrees, stirring occasionally. While you are heating the milk, dissolve 1/4 rennet tablet in 1/4 C. cool water. When milk has reached 90 degrees, turn off heat. Milk should be like a thick gelatin.

Man-Pleasing Chicken | Witty in the City I have never gotten so many compliments before, let alone for a piece of chicken. David suggested calling this chicken, “So Good it Can’t Be Described, Explosion on Your Taste Buds Chicken.” Exactly. I have never encountered a dish that is so basic and simple to put together yet creates such a big pay off. To make this chicken, which you should absolutely do immediately, preheat your oven to 450º F. Put 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs into a foil-lined or disposable oven-proof, 8×8 inch baking dish. Put the chicken thighs into the oven, and let them bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165ºF. I adapted this recipe from “The I <3 Trader Joe’s Cookbook” by Cherie Mercer Twohy. Shopping list: Chicken thighs- 1 packageDijon mustard- 1/2 cupMaple syrup- 1/4 cupRice/rice wine vinegar- 1 tablespoonFresh rosemarySalt and pepper

Fifteen Minute Salsa Verde Eggs Recipe The idea of eggs cooked in some kind of spicy sauce is what has inspired famous dishes like Shakshuka and Huevos Rancheros. I could have been thinking something like that when this simple breakfast idea popped into my mind, but truthfully I think the recipe was most inspired by a jar of salsa verde that I stumbled across in the pantry. These days I'm alternating between trying not to think about my pantry (full of various heavy cans and bottles that will need to be moved to the new house) and gazing into the shelves trying to imagine what I can use up before moving day. This was one of those "What can I make with ingredients I already have?" kind of experiments, and wow, did I love this easy breakfast. There are two reasons for putting the eggs into little dishes before you start heating the sauce. I made a single serving in an 8 inch frying pan; just double the recipe to make Salsa Verde Eggs for Two in a larger pan. Then gently nestle the eggs on top of the spicy sauce. Instructions:

Dukan Pizza | The Dukan Diet Way All I can say is oh my God! This pizza was amazing! If you like thin crust pizza, then this is for you! I was so excited that I had to post this right away. The recipe is easy to follow I’m thinking that you could also make the pizza base and use it as a pita bread for something a little different…. Since it can get boring unless you use your imagination. Here’s how it all came together! 1 teaspoon – Baking powder 1 teaspoon (grated) – Cheese Basil chopped Smoked salmon 1 tablespoon – Corn flour 2 Egg 2 tablespoons – Oat bran 1tablespoon – plain yogurt Small amount of pesto sauce for base Put the eggs, yogurt, oat bran, cornflour, baking powder and spices into a bowl for mixing. Mix all the ingredients in the bowl and pour it out onto the pan. When the bottom is done, and the top still a bit liquid on top, put a bit of pesto on top with tomatoes cut into pieces, sprinkle with grated cheese. It will be amazing and taste like thin crust pizza! Like this: Like Loading...

How To Make Delicious Caramel-Apple Jello Shots Pumpkin French Toast Bake Pumpkin french toast = breakfast of champions. Take my word. Remember my 7-ingredient muesli bread? Well, it’s making another appearance in this pumpkin french toast. I’ve always made french toast the traditional route: dip bread into egg batter and fry right when you’re ready to eat. The ‘batter’ consisted of several free range eggs, a healthy dash of milk, a scoop of pumpkin butter and plenty of pumpkin pie spice. You guys, it’s possible that I’ve never been so excited to hop up out of bed on a Saturday to preheat my oven. As you can see, it turned out phenomenal. Topped with a little maple syrup (agave or honey) and it’s phenomenal. If there’s just two of you dining on this breakfast, simply cut the recipe in half or even one-fourth for a more appropriate serving size. Pumpkin French Toast Bake Prep time Total time Sweet and spicy pumpkin french toast is made the night before for an easy, early-morning preparation.

Dieta proteinowa (Dukana) - kompendium wiedzy Salt water taffy Making taffy is super fun. I will warn you though, your arms will get quite the workout. Especially if you cook it to about 265. Mine got really tough after a few minutes and by the end of the 20 minutes of stretching I was starting to sweat and my arms were starting to shake. Okay, maybe it wasn't that bad! If the stretching part seems intimidating, don't let it! Salt water taffyYields approx. 50 pieces/1.5 poundsadapted from here. Prepare a heat safe dish by lightly buttering it. In a saucepan, sift together sugar and cornstarch. When cool enough to handle, grease hands and pull the warm candy with fingertips, pulling out to about 12 inches at first. p.s. the color of the taffy was identical to this pretty nail polish so i had to put them side by side.

Crock Pot French Toast: I got a crock pot for Christmas last year after having to borrow my mom’s for last years Thanksgiving dinner extravaganza. I made half of what her recipe calls for as my crockpot is a bit more on the petite side. Ingredients: 1/2 loaf of bread. I don’t recommend wheat bread generally though honey wheat is pretty good as french toast. Break up bread in half pieces. Combine: 6 eggs, 2 c milk, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp light brown sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla. Pour over bread if you’ve already placed in the crock pot. Like this:
