Home made granola bars

Homemade Granola Bars 2 Y


From: Bake me more

During some recent surfing I found these bars at Stephanie’s Kitchen.
I have really wanted to try making my own granola bars, but never got
around to purchasing all the necessary ingredients. However, when I saw
that this recipe only four ingredients and essentially no baking time I
placed the recipe on my to do list. This recipe is quick and easy and
turned out quite nice. Since I pack my hubby a granola bar everyday for
a snack, this is a great start to cutting costs (and calories…). Enjoy! …more

From: Cooking for seven

Twice before I have made biscotti – and failed miserably. However, this
batch turned our quite well (perhaps due to the fact that I actually
followed the recipe)…more

 

Ginger Pennies


From: Once upon a plate

I had in mind making the following little gifts, and they worked out perfectly.
Something you might keep in mind if you need a little place setting favor, or a ‘just because’ gift.
You
can do this with ANY small cookie, or homemade candies, etc. it’s just
a fun presentation. If you’re friends aren’t into tea cups and saucers,
it works just as well in pretty little bowls or mugs….more

 

Make Your Own Oreos


From: Chocolate bytes

I was just wondering about this the other night as I made (yet another) batch of Oreo ice cream, and my wish curiosity has been rewarded!

A recent article by Marisa Renwald for the Post-Tribune outlines the steps to make your own Oreo cookies. …more

 

Chocolate Chip Cookies

It’s a quest for all of us, I think. Of course, we’re all looking for
something a little different. What I was looking for was a substantial
cookie. One that held it’s shape. One that tasted expensive. Firm but
not hard, chewy but not gooey. A cookie that is a crowd pleaser, no
matter what kind of cookies they like. A cookie that will leave
everybody talking…more

 

Butterscotch Cookies


Butterscotch Cookies Recipe

Butterscotch Cookies
I haven’t baked in awhile and I had the craving for some cookies,
butterscotch cookies that is. This is a simple and very easy recipe
that uses butterscotch chips, butter and sugar to give the cookies
great flavor. They were so good that as I am writing this article there
is none left! This recipe uses crispy rice cereal to make the cookies
perfectly crispy with a little crunch but yet still slightly chewy
making the texture great…more

 

Amaretti Biscuits



The biscuits are incredibly simple to make and very delicious although a lot more chewy than other Amaretti biscuits, I guess due to the lack of gluten.
I think next time I will add a touch more liqueur as I do have a real
taste for it. I also didn’t have enough ready-ground almonds and so I
bumped up the quantity by grinding some whole and flaked almonds in a
pestle and mortar which worked a treat….more
 

Smoked Sea Salt and Fennel Seed Crackers



The smoky flavour is just right, strong without being overpowering. I
wanted to make some crackers but not fat laden ones. I also wanted a
robust flavour and some nutritional benefit so I mixed half stone
ground wholemeal flour and half white plain flour. The extra virgin
olive oil (Greek) also gives the crackers a nice grassy flavour and the combination of fennel seeds and the smoky salt is actually really really good.
We ate the crackers with some houmous as a healthy snack (we’ll forget
about the salt content…). I think next time I will experiment with
different flours such as spelt, my new favourite ingredient (except
smoked sea salt of course). I have some spelt spaghetti which is really
good and a colleague has promised me her spelt bread recipe….more
