Staying on my “Hand Pie” kick, here is a recipe for making a whole lot and freezing them. It’s a “from scratch” recipe — meaning first make your curry, then make your hand pies, but you can easily just make hand pies from any leftover curry that you might have. Just the other day, I purposefully saved some butter chicken to make some additional hand pies. Easy and always great to have in the freezer for a quick lunch.
I’m not one for making a log of candy really…. sure fudge and truffles around Christmas and the like, but rarely candy, so this “Nuts About You” Sea Salt Peanut Brittle is a bit unique for me. It’s a very American thing. But it turned out well and makes a great Valentine’s Day present. Just watch your teeth — this stuff is hard!
Happy Superbowl Sunday! As I think I write every year, I am more a fan of the game-time snacks than the game itself, and usually I try to make everything the day before the big game, but somehow my week got a bit discombobulated and today I am scrambling. I also forgot an few key ingredients and am not much in the mood to go to the shops, so I’ve decided to re-evaluate my day and just share this one thing with you instead. It’s the annual chicken wings! So far, there are 6 recipes for wings on the site, so this makes 7. Tart and spicy, crispy and delicious. Feeds a crowd and if you double the recipe, you could feed the entire neighborhood!
I did a (not-baking-related) training event yesterday and it was pretty intense which means I had a hard time sleeping last night. Insomni-baking at it’s finest came up with this bundt cake recipe. That I (maybe surprisingly, maybe not) had the ingredients at hand was amazing and its a very nice breakfast this morning.
