Making Stock

MAC — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 22:56:00 +0000

Stocks are the basis for many of the soups consumed.? Although stocks do require a small amount of time to prepare, techniques and tips allow you to reduce cooking time while keeping flavors. ?By using pressure cookers you can have rich flavorful stock in as little as 20 minutes .? If time allows, simmering your beef, pork or chicken for longer periods will deepen the flavor and enhance the stock.? ? For healthy focus, preparation needs to include degreasing and defatting your stock.? This can be done by using a defatting cup which allows you to pour off the rich stock while leaving the fat behind.? These cups are available at most kitchen or gourmet shops.? During cooking you may also want to skim away any froth and fat that surfaces to the top of your liquid.? After simmering, you can remove even more by dragging a piece of paper towel over any pool of fat on the top of the stock.? After removing the stock from the heat, you can pass it through a colander lined with cheesecloth or paper towel to clarify the stock.? Or, let it cool in the refrigerator and simply spoon away the layer of that that has hardened on top of your stock.? ? Stocks store well in the refrigerator for up to one week.? It can be frozen in small containers or ice cube trays.? Once frozen, unmold cubes and store in freezer bags.? This will allow you to use the stock in many ways.? Ice cubes can be used to deglaze a sauté pan or to add flavor to a steaming or cooking liquid.? When reheating stock as with soups, you should always heat to the boiling point to ensure safety.

Oatmeal Pie – Pulled

MAC — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 17:11:00 +0000

This recipe was found by my dear friend Lillian. It’s from a booklet, not date, by Wheeler District Beeline Fashions. I’ve googled the Fashion company and can find nothing so that doesn’t help with the actual date of this recipe. I’ve also googled “Oatmeal Pies.” I’ve found 3-4 but none are quite like this one. So, here is an oldie that is delicious! The pie comes out similar to a pecan pie but not quite but with a slight starchy thickness. The only thing I would add would be more coconut or add the pecans instead of the coconut. Watch for this wonderful pie to appear in Think With Your Taste Buds – Dessets.

I found this info while browsing around the internet and now that cantaloupes are in season, I decided to share. Buying Cantaloupe Cantaloupes are picked when ripe and stop ripening once they leave the vine. This makes it essential to choose a melon that was picked at just the right time. How can you tell if

Apple Walnut Squares

MAC — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 22:58:00 +0000

This dish was sent to me by Lillian, my co-author for my cookbook Think With Your Taste Buds – Desserts.? Its simple to make, with a delicate taste of apple and cinnamon.? You have to love it. Lillian – This was given to me by a friend from a 1976 cookbook that she had. This looks as though it would be very moist and is so simple to put together. Changes may be to use English walnuts or pecans instead of black walnuts, add a bit of coconut, use apple pie spices instead of just the cinnamon. Martha – I made this dish and it is wonderfully moist! I did make a couple of changes. I found myself running short of flour so I used Cake Flour instead of all-purpose. I also used pecans instead of the black walnuts. For the apples, it takes about 5 small or 4 medium size and I used Granny Smith. This is one great dish to make.

How to get more Omega-3 in your diet

MAC — Wed, 26 May 2010 21:48:00 +0000

This question was presented to a cardiologist and this is his answer. According to a scientific statement published by the American Heart Association in its journal Circulation , members of the association’s nutrition committee concluded that “omega-3 fatty acids have been shown in epidemiological and clinical trials to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease.” And studies have shown that eating a diet rich in omega-3s can help lower triglycerides . The three major types of omega-3 fatty acids found in foods are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Once ingested, the

Caramel Apple Cake – Pulled

MAC — Mon, 24 May 2010 23:51:00 +0000

This is one that worked perfect on my 1st attempt and the only changes I would suggest would be to change the nuts. You could change the spice to cinnamon or apple pie spice and you might even add some raisins but I don’t think I would make too many other changes. It’s too good as it is.? But… it’s been pulled and moved to the Think With Your Taste Bud – Desserts file.
