Cooking Competitions, sauces

This sauce was born out of a bumper crop of Thai and Cayenne peppers from my garden, and I couldn’t let them go to waste! To balance the heat, I added a local touch—maple sugar, which is easily available to me. The result? A sweet and spicy blend that fills the house with the warmth of hot peppers and the rich, earthy sweetness of maple sugar.

What to say about this recipe? Sooooo good, in the deep of winter, to have a taste of the tropics in one's mouth is sweet heaven on earth. I love this combination because of those flavors. Candied pineapple is not hard to find, and it can be substituted by dried mango or another yummy candied/dried fruit.

Jan 23 Why Your Bread Dough Isn’t Rising

Bread Making, Breads, Bread Proofing

Bread making is so wonderful, it makes the house smell wonderful, it makes everyone smiles, it fills our bellies with deliciousness and makes memories.

I am so happy I have mostly mastered the art of bread making, but I at times fail, due to being in a hurry, to pushing boundaries or messing with the science of cooking with yeast, a live product that does need attention and care for it to work.

Breads, Vintage Recipes, Old Recipes

Wow! Blast from the past, bread made with Carnation milk, or what is evaporated milk. When I saw the recipe in a very old recipe book that was my mother’s I had to try it.

The book is so old, I am in awe of it, I love perusing the recipes in it and comparing it to how we cook/bake today.

Since I think I want to expand the bread recipes on the Feeding a Crowd website, I thought I would start with that one. It is different in many aspects, and it is worth making, the bread is rich, doughy and yes light, the taste is full flavored and not too sweet.
