The Best Ever Lemonade Recipe | The Family Kitchen I am ready for spring and summer to come. The first day of spring isn’t until March 20, but we’ve been having delicious spring and summer treats like this homemade lemonade for the past few weeks. To start off lent yesterday, my husband started his fast. He’s doing the master cleanse, which involves lemonade spiked with cayenne pepper. It’s really not my thing, especially since I couldn’t stand to go without food for more than a day. My secret to making the very best lemonade is to dissolve the sugar in the water first over heat. The Best Lemonade Recipe Ingredients 1 cup freshly squeezed organic lemon juice, 6 organic lemons 1 cup white sugar (I passed on raw because I didn’t want the hint of molasses flavor) 1 cup filtered water 6 cups filtered water 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 – 3 drops yellow food coloring (optional) Method 1. 2.
Soft Garlic Knots & Zoom Yummy I’ve been craving nice homemade rolls for quite some time. The instant I saw the recipe for these heavenly Soft Garlic Knots over at AnniesEats I knew my fate was sealed. With the recipe as flawless as this one, everything went perfectly. Oh, and yes, there’s yeast. Please, don’t let that fact scare you off. The yeast in this recipe is nothing more than one of a few ingredients that creates the dough and that’s it. This is a simple recipe which yields amazing results. In case you really need to have these knots too, of which I am just sure, here are the ingredients. These knots can be kneaded in an electric mixer or simply just by hand. 1. 2. 3. If you want to do this by hand, the process will last a little longer. What we are going for here is a smooth and elastic dough. 4. …and cover with a plastic wrap. 5. 6. To do that I used a knife. 7. If the dough is too sticky then use a little flour to dust it with. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. …brush the glaze onto them. 16. It’s amazing!
Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites On Fridays, I teach cooking classes to two kids in our neighborhood. They are pretty knowledgeable-so my job is easy:) I think it is fantastic that they want to learn how to cook at such a young age-they are in the 3rd and 4th grade. Since we don’t have any kiddos yet, I am glad I get to work with these kids. We have a great time in the kitchen. On Friday we made homemade soft pretzels,the traditional salty ones and cinnamon and sugar pretzels. For fun, we also made pretzel bites. everyone loved these. Is everyone ready for the big game? Buffalo Hot Wings-these are Josh’s all time favorite. My good friend Gaby, from What’s Gaby Cooking, made Pulled Pork Sliders for the big game. Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites Yield: A lot!
Loaded Potato Skins | Simple Comfort Food Back when I was growing up in middle and high school, there was an appetizer that I really loved. Potato skins. I believe my experience started with my parents ordering these at the restaurant chain. My parents were the type of couple who liked to figure out how to make dishes that were great in a restaurant, but make them better in their kitchen. They were not hacks by any means, after all, there was no Internet back in their time, however they took the time to think of the textures, and flavors, and make them something special at the kitchen table, any day of the week. Ingredients: [Print this Recipe] 6 small to medium sized russet potatoes, rinsed clean8 oz of sharp cheddar cheese, shredded8 slices of smoked, thick cut bacon, cooked and crumbled1/2 stick of unsalted butter6 tbsp sour cream, optional2 tbsp of chopped chives, optionalSalt to tastePepper to taste Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Cook your bacon, low and slow on the stove, for about 15-20 minutes.

Lottie + Doof & Apple Jellies I was inspired by a post over at Supper in Stereo to try these Apples Jellies, a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks The Art of Simple Food. Like all of Alice Water’s recipes this one is simple, allows you to utilize local, seasonal ingredients and is delicious. It is a real treat to watch a few pounds of apples slowly turn into squares of candy. There is something about the preservation of food that makes me feel really self-confident and capable. These little treats are supposed to keep for up to a year. I started off with a variety of apples from the farmers market. After some more cooking of the apple puree, you spread it in a pan to cool and then you go about your life. The next day you are rewarded with perfect little blocks of farmers market apples. Apple Jellies 3 pounds of apples (about 8), washed, quartered and cored1 cup water1 1/2 cups sugarJuice of 1 lemon Start by lightly rubbing an 8-by-8-inch square baking pan with a flavorless vegetable oil (canola or safflower).

Cooks' note: Watermelonade can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Homemade Pita Bread is absolutel Homemade Pita Bread is absolutely delicious. It does not even resemble the stuff from the local grocery or warehouse store, which is usually quite stale. You can make it at home with very little hands-on time - about 10 minutes in your automatic Bread Baker, and a few minutes rolling and baking the dough. I think you'll agree it's worth it! This recipe makes enough dough for 16 medium loaves of fragrant, soft Pita Bread 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water 1 tablespoon yeast 1 tablespoon olive oil 3-3 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt Place all the ingredients in an automatic bread maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and turn the machine to the dough setting. If you don’t have an automatic bread maker, you may mix the ingredients to a soft dough in a mixer with a dough hook. Remove the dough from the machine or mixing bowl, place it on a floured pastry cloth or work surface, and divide it up into 12 portions. Roll each round to a circle about ¼ inch thick and 6 inches round.
