Bake with Bizzy - More Than Apple Kugel



Apple Kugels make me happy.  I fill mine with more apples than is ever called for.  I, also like mine chunky, so I cut the pieces larger than most recipes ask for.  The basic recipe works.  Actually, with all the apples, almost any recipe would work.


The recipe, I ended up making has additional carrot and cranberries.  The extra crunch of cranberries could only enrich this recipe.  I didn't expect much from the carrot but it adds a bit of color, inside of the kugel.


The recipe comes from Gatherings - the Ganz Family Edition.

More Than Apple Kugel (adapted)

Ingredients:
4 -5 apples, peeled, cored and cubed or sliced
1 carrot, peeled and shredded
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cup gluten-free flour mixture or   all  purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 eggs, beaten or 1/2 cup egg beaters
cinnamon to taste


Method:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray cooking oil in 8 inch square pan.


In a medium bowl, combine apples, carrots and cranberries.  Set aside.


In another bowl, mic together flour, cinnamon, sugar, baking powder, oil, lemon juice, vanilla extract and eggs and mix well.


Add fruit to batter.  Mix well.


Place in prepared pan.  If you would like, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.


Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees until golden on top.


Serve warm or hot.

    So...I've never actually eaten apple kugel. Which now seems like the biggest mistake of my life.

    What a good idea adding carrots for color! :-) I'm sure they would go beautifully with the spices you use for apples. :-)

    I've never tasted or made Apple Kugel, but I'm intrigued by the inclusion of the carrot and cranberries. It sounds very delicious.

    Thanks for sharing at Cookbook Sundays.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits.

Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
