Finally a Post!

Sorry!!
I haven't really baked or cooked anything worthwhile these past  couple of days and I did not want to bore you with any personal news/stories.
Today I made some really quick and easy food.
I rarely use recipes these days. I usually make up the recipe as I go or use a recipe as a really rough guideline and I usually end up changing all of it and making it my own.
Today I wanted something healthy for dinner ( I had a ginormous amount of French Vanilla Ice Cream today at my face ice cream shop in Hollyrood. $2 and you get a big bowl full!)
I made a vegetable curry soup and for dessert I made a cakey-cobbler type of dessert using up two frozen bananas.
Here are the recipes.

 (using my crappy no good camera)

Veggie Curry Soup

• 1 lb lean ground beef, salted & seasoned
• 1 onion
• 1 cup chopped green beans
• 1 cup chopped cabbage
• any other veggies you want!
• 4 cups water
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 Bouillon cube
• 1 tsp-1tbsp Curry Powder

Roll meat into small meat balls & brown. Add onion. Transfer to soup pan (leave meat grease in frying pan)

Add other veggies and mix water with flour. Add to soup. It will act as a thickening  agent. Add bouillon and curry powder. Add any extra seasonings you would like.

& for dessert

Banana Anna

(catchy name?? it's not cake, it is not a cobbler nor a pudding. so what would you call it??)

• 2 large frozen bananas cut into pieces & placed on bottom of small baking pan
• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/8-1/4 cup margarine melted
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 egg yolk or 1 egg

Mix all ingredients and pour over bananas. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes.

Sweet Strawberry Davelish Dessert!

Home Grown Strawberries Magically turn into....

THIS!

Which morphs into.......

YUM!

Again, I though of this recipe by myself.
How did I come up with it?
I love cake & pudding, I had left over strawberries and I wanted something quick and easy and somewhat healthy.
I used radio pudding as a basis for my recipe.
For the syrup I cut the sugar in half and use white sugar (except I found it to be a bit too sweet so I lowered the amount in the recipe below)
only used 1 tsp margarine instead of a chunk of butter.
I kept the water the same amount.
I lined a 8 by 8 pan with about 1-2 cups of thawed strawberries (I froze ones from my garden, thawed them in the microwave and they become mushy but that's perfect for this recipe. I did not cut up the strawberries)
I poured the syrup on top and then made the cake recipe which I modified a little. Then baked in the oven.
Here's the recipe

Sweet Strawberry Davelish Dessert

• 1-2 cups strawberries fresh or frozen ( amount depends on how much you want)
• ** you can use other fruit such as blueberries, cherries, cranberries etc. or a combination of fruits

Spread them in a 8 by 8 square pan

for syrup

• 1/4 and 2 tbsp sugar ( i do not reccomend a sugar substitute such as splenda because it needs to become syrup, thick an sticky.
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp margarine or butter or ommit

Combine all ingredients and boil for about a minute or two then pour on top of strawberries

for cake

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk (i used 2% but feel free to use any kind of milk or vegan milk.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder

Combine and pour onto strawberries & syrup

--) Bake in 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes (until ready depends on how you want it, gooey or not)

Then....enjoy!
I served in wine glasses with some whipped cream :)
I already lowered the sugar content from when I made it, but feel free to experiment using less, if you like less sweetness then go for it!

Healthy and easy....and it's PIZZA

Hiiiiii!
Yet another post! Will it make up for the missing pictures???
My camera has decided to take a few low quality pictures so until I get a new one....
Who doesn't like pizza?
The following recipe is my own. It is super easy to make, fast and healthy too!
It's also customizabe to your taste. You can change it to your liking in so many ways from the crust to the toppings. This recipe is also extremely easy to turn into a vegetarian or vegan recipe, you can pretty much follow the recipe the way it is.
I will post the recipe the way I usually make it (I change it up all the time though) and add some suggestions and tips.
But first the picture! Before you make it you have to believe it!

You will probably think this is not a pizza!
But yes it is! It has a thin whole wheat crust with delicious toppings & cheese (I hate cheese!)
This one I made in a casserole dish it is much easier and the only thing I had on hand.
note ** I am no pro photographer nor do I have a nice camera, so these pictures will have to do.
My family has 4 of us--> my dad who needs to have meat with his dinner most of the time
my mom--> she is flexible whatever she gets she's happy with (unless there are lumps in the pudding...she hates that!!)
My sister--> recently gone vegetarian so no meat
Me--> HATE cheese, picky but willing to try new things
So this pizza was divided into 4, each section is different lol
Okay soooo here is the recipe...finally

First Green Beans of the Garden

Hello everyone :)
Yesterday I picked the first green beans from the garden this summer!!
What is more healthier than home grown veggies? Nothing!
You know that they are not sprayed with who knows what and that they do not have some kind of presevative on them.
So what did I make??

This is the most decent picture I could take before my camera went all broken on me!
I just grabbed some ingredients and made up the recipe as I went but boyyyy was it yummy!!
Also, it is perfect if you are avoiding using oil, this recipes does not use oil but stock to cook the veggies, this way actually adds flavour!
It is also perfect to use up any left over pasta you may have!
What do I call it??

Green Beans with Pasta (yup real original! jk I just want a name that actually tells you what the dish is)

• 1/2-3/4 chicken stock  as needed(or I use warm water with a bouillon cube)
• Pepper to taste
• About 4 servings of pre-cooked pasta, any kind you want. I cooked it so its nice and soft
• About 4 cups green beans cut into 1 inch pieces
• Orange & Green peppers (add as much as you like)
• Couple swiss chard leaves to fill you up & add nutrients
• About a cup finely chopped Cabbage
• ** you can add celery, carrots, onions, corn, peas, etc. This dish is versatile & you can use any veggies you need to use up or have in your fridge or are on sale.
• ** you can add basil, thyme etc any spices that you like as well

Instructions~~~
On medium-high heat, cook beans with the stock until almost all cooked then add the rest of the ingredients.
Done!!!
That was easy & quick!!

Look out for more easy & delicious recipes posts!!
