I’m fairly certain I’ve shared before that one of my biggest tips for using piping bags is to fill them while they stand in a cup. Well, I came across another two tips that I felt would be useful to share. I haven’t used the first new one yet but the next time I need it, I will. The second tip actually worked even better than I thought it would.
After having good luck with calzone dough, I decided to try to make the dough for it just as a pizza dough. Well, it ended up making a lot, so I was able to make three kinds of pizza. I made one in the cast iron skillet (it was okay but more crust than I would like), one on a piece of foil that I added to the baking sheet I kept in the oven while it preheated, and one as a calzone.
The funny thing about today is that I am sharing a recipe for making something that requires buttermilk, and yet, I am struggling to find buttermilk at my regular grocery store. I don’t know why. I guess next I need to find a way to make buttermilk (and I don’t mean just soured milk with vinegar and milk).
Popping in here for a quick tip for eggs…
Continue readingBack a few months ago, I made a beef dish and was disappointed in the lack of flavor. The beef was tender enough, but just not tasty. Well, I still don’t plan on making that meal again, but I was happy to come across a meal that allowed me to save those frozen leftovers and turn them into something that the kids liked a lot. I would definitely try to make this again but with better beef.
This might seem way too simple, but there was a long while before I started doing this. We have been regularly buying croissants from Costco since the kids are obsessed with them. I learned quickly that the Fudgelet prefers his croissants soft. When we went to San Francisco and were able to get fresh croissants from a local bakery each morning, he preferred the day old ones that had softened. Sigh. The Chiplet, meanwhile, wants his croissants crunchy.
Maybe it is just me, but I always struggle to get capers out of their jar without getting all of the liquid too, or making a mess. I have mini strainer tools but none are a good size for the caper jars. Well, I finally found an easy solution for me that might work for you, too!
