Just wondered if cooking tips counted in this? Cos i have one

Don't you just hate it when you spray your baking pans/trays with non-stick cooking spray and you get over spray all over your work tops and equipment?
Try doing this - If you have a dishwasher, open the door and place your trays/pans to be sprayed on the inside of the door and spray them. When you run the dishwasher the oil over spray will be diffused and washed away, leaving your worktops nice and clean

I found this handy tip in a magazine - hope it helps you.

Here's a recipe that I swear by and everyone always loves it!

http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/crunchy-asian-salad-60552.aspx

freeze dough before cutting firmer easier does not stick

i am going to try that.

this is kiwi styles but can be used anywhere you can collect pipies
PLEASE ALWAYS TAKE JUST YOUR LIMIT ALLOWED AND THE RIGHT SIZED ONES
PIPIS DO FREEZE SO SHELL THEM AND WASH THEM AND POP THEM IN FREEZER AS BACK UP
also soak these suckers for at least half an hour so they flush the sand out k

I have one, and only one, question Elle. When am I getting my slice?????

Do you make house calls? ....... lol

i must eat dis

AND ANOTHER MUST not come in here when i am hungry

That cake looks awesome. My wife makes me coconut cupcakes. Id like her to try that cake next.

Please do and let me know how yours turns out

deff will but give me about 2-3 weeks. Im just trying to behave a little before summer. @ 42 Im getting a bit of the love handle there and am currently off sweets to loose a few pounds.

Are you tired of paying good money for salad dressing who's ingredients reads like it came from a chemical factory? Well, fret no more, you can make a delicious salad dressing right in the comfort of your own home! And it's simple.

1/4 cup wine vinegar
appr 1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup olive oil (or oil of your choice)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
1 shallot, chopped (or about a tablespoon of the white part of a green onion or any mild onion. Shallot is best)
about 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
a pinch of salt if you must (I make mine sans salt)

You can use your food blender or a whisk. If using a whisk chop the shallot fine. If using the blender, put the shallot in the blender and give it a short ride.

Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar. The sugar will take much of the bite out of the vinegar. How much sugar to use really depends on (a) the acidity of the vinegar, and (b) your personal preference. Once the sugar is dissolved, give it a little taste, if it has too much of a bite (it should have some bite) add a little more sugar.

Put the vinegar, mustard and mayo, pepper and salt, if using, in the blender bowl (the shallot is already in it). Turn it on and slowly stream the oil in. The dressing is ready to use. Store it covered in the fridge.

For a variation, you can sub a garlic glove or two for the shallot.

yeah I make all my dressings, or at least try to when I can.
The blender does work great for emulsifying the oil.
But when you dont want to dirty the blender.
Get a round bowl, roll up your dish towel to make a nest for the bowl, so it will sit hands free on the counter.
Then whisk while pouring the oil in.
Either that or just put it all in a dressing bottle and shake the shit out of it.
I prefer the whisk or blender though.

You will need:
3/4 cup Unbleached Flour ............. 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
6 Tablespoons Brown sugar - packed ............ 6 Tablespoons White sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder ........... 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt .............................. 3 medium very ripe Bananas (mashed or whizzed in food processor) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 Crunchy peanut butter ............ 2 Tablespoons Plain fat free yoghurt
1 Large Egg ........................................ 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
3/4 cup Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (tossed in 1 tblsp flour)

This is what you do:
Preheat oven to 350F. Coat 9 x 5 inch loaf tin/pan with cooking spray, add a strip of parchment paper to bottom of pan for easy removal. Combine flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt into bowl.
In another bowl OR bowl of mixer, mix bananas peanut butter, yoghurt, egg, vanilla & oil .
Fold in the flour mixture until NO streaks of flour remain, then gently fold in the chocolate chips. Scrape batter into loaf tin. Bake 40 - 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes, CAREFULLY remove from pan and allow to cool completely on wire rack before slicing.
This loaf/cake is very moist and may need a little more time in oven. Nice served with a dollop of cream.

am i suddenly hungry
