Thick and Cheesy Vegetable Chowder

by Rebecca April 28, 2020
written by Rebecca

If you love a thick, creamy, and cheesy soup then this recipe is the soup for you. Furthermore, this soup includes vegetables, so you still get lots of nutrients and a supper which will warm you from the first bite. Reading the composition of this recipe you might think its the same as other soup but do not underestimate its nutritional benefits. It is perfect, just as it is bordered with broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, and celery, and perfectly seasoned with lots of leafy herbs, and since the first time we made this soup, we strongly believe that nothing else is necessary to make the soup better.

All the roux mixture and the cheese that we add at the end is essential to making this chowder. A roux is typically a thickening agent made out of butter, whisked in the meal, and cooked until it becomes golden brown. In a liquid-like chicken broth or milk or cream, you can then whisk to thicken whatever you want, our chowder. This is one of the final phases of the cooking and then the cheddar cheese is added. These steps add tons of creaminess and aroma together with a lot of cheesy aromas, so they are certainly essential and should not be skipped.

Ingredients:

1 (32 ounces) carton low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

1 heads broccoli, cut into florets

1/2 pc small head cauliflower, cut into florets

3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced

3 carrots, peeled and diced

3 stalks celery, diced

1 yellow onion, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne or chilli powder

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated

3 cups whole milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions:

In a wide saucepan, Mix 1 tbsp butter and sauté onion, carrot, and celery over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, or until soft.

Add garlic and sauté for another 1 min. Add Italian seasoning season, salt, pepper and thyme, cayenne or chilli powder.

Stir in chicken or veggie broth and add cubed potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes or check the potatoes if its tenderize with a fork.

Add broccoli and cauliflower to the mixture and cook until tender for an additional 6-8 minutes.

In a medium saucepan, pour out the remaining 4 tbsp of butter and flour. Cook the roux for 2-3 min. in milk wait until its cook, or golden brown for 2-3 minutes and then add the milk, whisk it.

Bring the mixture to a mild boil. Reduce the heat and stir often, add heavy cream and Stir salt and pepper and mix in the soup.

Stir the cheese until melted and smooth.

Serve hot and enjoy in a serving bowl.

written by Rebecca

Hey there! Here’s another awesome recipe I have for you! Try this at home the next time you have a family gathering or some friends are coming over. I’m sure they’re gonna love it! It’s quite complicated but it’s gonna be worth it. You’ll see. Anyway, Enjoy baking and make sure to put a smile on your face. It takes away all the tiredness.

Coconut Cake Ingredients

11 oz AP flour (all-purpose)

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

4 oz unsalted butter room temperature

14 oz granulated sugar

4 oz vegetable oil

5 large egg yolks, room temperature

5 large egg whites, room temperature

1/4 tsp. cream of tartar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 tsp. coconut extract

8 oz buttermilk, room temperature

6 oz sweetened flaked coconut (toasted until lightly browned)

1 oz sweetened flaked coconut toasted (for garnish)

For the Cream Cheese Frosting

16 ounces of cream cheese cut into cubes and softened

8 ounces of unsalted butter softened

1 teaspoon coconut extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

36 ounces of sifted powdered sugar

Coconut Cake Instructions

Before we start baking, make sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature and should remain at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.

Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees C. Prepare three 8×2-inch round cake pans. (Apply cake goop)

Spread and bake the coconut flakes in a cookie sheet pan for 2-3 minutes or until the edges are brown. Stir the coconut gently and bake for a minute or two or until colour turns light gold. Make sure to check it regularly to prevent from burning. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Add the coconut extract, vanilla extract, and oil into the buttermilk. In a mixing bowl, place egg whites. Keep the whip attachment and set to medium-high heat. Add the cream of tartar and whip until firm. (Remember to keep the moist texture) Set aside.

Add butter to the stand mixer and beat for about 30 seconds at medium speed until it becomes smooth. Add egg yolks to the mixture. 1 yolk at a time, keep beating until well-mixed.

Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the batter. Adjust the mixer speed to low. Add 1/3 of milk immediately and mix thoroughly until it is absorbed by the batter. Repeat the process until the batter is blended perfectly. Once finished, turn off the mixer and using a spatula, sweep the sides of the bowl.

Combine the whipped egg whites and toasted coconut into the batter.

Split the batter evenly into the pans then, use the spatula to smoothen the top portion. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. You can a toothpick to determine the doneness of your cake. Just pinch the centre of your cake using a toothpick. If it comes out clean, you’re good to go!

Place the pans in the wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Gently, remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely before frosting.

For the Cream cheese frosting

Whisk the soft butter using your stand mixer until smooth. In the same bowl, add the softened cream cheese and whisk until both ingredients are well-mixed.

Add filtered powdered sugar, one cup at a time. And whisk until well-mixed.  Now, add the coconut extract and salt. Blend until smooth at low speed.

Place the mixture into a bowl and add coconut and vanilla extract. Whisk until well-mixed. Refrigerate for 2 hours and don’t forget to cover with plastic wrap.

Blueberry Biscuits

by Rebecca April 28, 2020
written by Rebecca

How are you? I hope you’re doing great! Once again, here I am sharing another recipe for you. I hope you like the biscuits. Well, who doesn’t? This is one of my favourite treats to make for my kids. You might put on a lot of work for this but I promise it’s gonna be worth it! So, what are you waiting for? Put on your apron and awaken the pastry master inside of you! Have fun baking!

Ingredients

BISCUITS:

2 cups Flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup milk, cold

1/3 cup sugar

5 tablespoons of butter (cold or frozen)

1 teaspoon salt

3 ounces blueberries, fresh or dried

GLAZE:

1 cup powdered sugar

1/8 cup water

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Instruction

Prepare the oven. Preheat to 450°F.

In a medium bowl, add salt, flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add cold milk to incorporate all the ingredients and stir until well-mixed.

Break to chunks the hard butter and spread gently and evenly on top of the dough as it starts to take form. Fold the dough and knead. Do this repeatedly until the dough is covered with butter. Then, gently fold the blueberries.

Sprinkle flour to your cutting board to prevent from sticking out. Then, move the dough and roll flat about 1/4 – 1/2 thick. If you prefer, you can make it thicker.

Cut about 6 blueberry biscuits with a cookie cutter.

At this point, the butter may start to melt. If this happens, put the dough back to the freezer for about 10-15 minutes.

Do not prolong the dough in the freezer. The baking powder may become inactive if it exceeds 20 minutes.

Bake in the oven for about 7-12 minutes.

Melt 1 tablespoon of low-fat butter.

Use a pastry brush to paint the biscuits with the melted butter.

In a small bowl, mix the glaze ingredients and sprinkle Blueberry Biscuits using a fork.

In a separate medium bowl, strain baking powder, 1 cup of flour, and salt then, add into the chocolate batter.

In another medium-sized bowl, toss in the 12 ounces of chocolate chips, walnuts, and 1/4 cup of flour then, combine with the chocolate mixture.

Pour the chocolate batter into the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Make sure to wrap the baking sheet towards the oven shelf to let the air break out between the pan and the cookie dough. Bake for additional 15 minutes if necessary. Perform a toothpick check where you insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake. When it comes out clean after 20 minutes, you are done! Do not overbake though.

Banana Bread Brownies

by Rebecca April 28, 2020
written by Rebecca

This is by far the best banana bread I have ever tasted! I make a ton every time so I have plenty for everybody. This banana bread is amazing! You wouldn’t know if you are eating a brownie or a cake. Either way, this dessert is amazingly delicious!

What you need:

BANANA BREAD BARS

1 1/2 cups of sugar

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 eggs

1 3/4 cups of ripe bananas, mashed, about 3 to 4 pieces

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

BROWN BUTTER FROSTING

1/2 cups butter

4 cups of powdered sugar

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

3 Tbsp milk

Preparation:

Prepare the oven. Heat to 375 degrees. Now, grease and flour a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan.

For the Bars:

In a large bowl, beat sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs until creamy. Put in the bananas and vanilla extract and blend them thoroughly with the other ingredients. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and blend for about 1 minute. This is optional, but at this point, you can stir in the walnuts.

Spread batter evenly into the pan. Put in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

For Frosting:

In a large saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat and let the butter turn a delicate brown. When done, remove from heat immediately.

Then, add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in the butter. Whisk them together until smooth(consistency should be thicker than a glaze but thinner than frosting).

Now, that the bars are ready. Spread the brown butter frosting over the warm bars using a spatula. You would want to spread the frosting while bars are warm, it is easier that way.

Your banana bread brownies are ready! Put these babies on a plate, serve, and enjoy! Share with friends, I am sure they will love it!
