Capsicum soup and Finnish scones Hello friends, I hope you are all well and safe. I'm sure you share the same feeling of shock after seeing the horrendous devastation in Japan. It is hard to believe that we were travelling around this country just a couple of months ago. We are very grateful that all our relatives in Japan are safe, but our hearts go out to everyone affected. I think I'm personally a little bit obsessed with the idea of enjoying my life to the fullest. I felt like we needed something comforting during this time of distress. Capsicum soup (Serves 2) 2 red capsicums (bell peppers) 100g day-old sour dough bread 1 heaped tbsp almond meal 2 cups vegetable stock (less if you want it thicker) freshly ground black pepper Preheat your oven to 225C. Finnish scones (Makes 2) 180g wholemeal spelt flour 1,5 tsp baking powder pinch of salt 150ml water 1 tbsp olive oil Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Enjoy life.

Ooooh sounds yummy! Easy Chocolate Pudding Sometimes, because I am the nurturing, caring, and loving woman that I am, I make big sacrifices in the kitchen just to make Fritz happy. If the man likes chocolate pudding, I’m gonna make him chocolate pudding. If that happens to coincide with a chocolate craving of my own, then, well, so be it. I’m willing to do what has to be done. This was significantly easier to make than the chocolate pudding that comes in the box. In terms of ease of actual preparation, I’d say they are about equal. In terms of deliciousness, I’d say they are also about equal. Easy Chocolate Pudding (recipe adapted from blog Just Home Made) serves 4 3 T cornstarch3 T unsweetened cocoa powder1 1/2 C milk (mine was 1%)2 T sugar1/8 t salt1 T butter1/2 t vanilla extract Bring 1 C of the milk to boil in a saucepan. Once the milk first begins to boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and add the cocoa mixture. Once it’s ready, remove from the heat and add the butter and the vanilla and mix to blend. Yum.
Rainbow Cake in a Jar I’ve always had a penchant for sunshine in a jar. Doesn’t the very phrase itself, “sunshine in a jar,” roll off your tongue and fill your mouth with magic? While I’ve never yet found myself a sunshine in a jar, I think we may have just concocted it in our kitchen tonight. In this simple recipe, a basic white cake is turned into a slew of bright colors, baked to perfection, then topped with a creamy white frosting. Cakes baked in jars can be topped with traditional metal canning lids and stored in the fridge for up to five days. Rainbow Cake in Jar 1 box white cake mix made according to package instructionsNeon food coloring in pink, yellow, green, turquoise, and purple3 one-pint canning jars1 can vanilla frostingRainbow sprinkles Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop about 1/2 cups of cake batter into five small bowls. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the purple batter into the bottom of each jar.

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! 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…. We started by dropping 1/4 cup of vanilla batter into the middle of our 8″ pan. Continue the process until your pans are approx 2/3 full. Hooray!
Tuna Cakes with Fresh Tomato Salsa {Giveaway!} Thanks to Tuna Casserole and Tuna Surprise in school cafeterias in the 90’s, nobody likes Tuna anymore. I get that those lunches were scary…but it wasn’t the Tuna’s fault! It was probably fear of the woman serving it…with her drawn on sharpie eyebrows and missing fingers –or was that just my creepy lunch lady?! In spite of all those bad tuna memories, I LOVE tuna. When I was dreaming up my Tuna Cakes, I was trying to figure out a way to give them some extra umph while keeping them ass friendly. And I am happy to say, the result was awesome! Fun twists for these Tuna Cakes: 1. 2. 3. 4. Recipe Note: Make your Fresh Tomato Salsa a couple hours ahead of the Tuna Cakes to allow time for the flavors to develop.
