BIZZY BAKES

This is a good recipe to multi-task. While the potatoes cook, chop and brown your vegetables. Everything can come together at about the same time in that way. These were a success and I am going to make them in smaller tins for my grandchildren. I think, they will enjoy, their own little potato cabbage cakes. Cabbage Potato Cakes Ingredients: 1 cup cabbage, shredded and then chopped smaller 3 potatoes, peeled and boiled and mashed 2 carrots, peeled and diced 1 large onion, diced 1 egg 1 tablespoon olive oil salt and pepper to taste 1/3 cup potato starch 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Method: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray muffin tins with cooking oil. Chop onions and carrots in a food processor. I used my mini processor from my immersion blender to get small pieces, not as tiny as in my full sized food processor. If you do not have this option, I suggest, chopping by hand. Peel potatoes and cut into quarters. Place in a boiling pot of water. (carefully) Cook for 15 - 20 minu...

This week Gaye selected these sweet treats.  I made them without what is probably the best part, the cinnamon sugar coating but hubby prefers them that way.  I used slightly more than the one teaspoon of cinnamon to compensate for the missing coating.  As usual, these are easy to make and worth making.  Cinnamon and maple are two of my favorite flavors a winning combination - in my opinion. ******Please check out the other WWDH bakers and see what they are sharing with us.******* Kayte        Gaye        Sarah       Margaret Cinnamon sugar-coated Maple Apple Cakes adapted from donna Hay  (Gluten-Free) Ingredients: 2½ cups gluten-free 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 cup butter, melted 1 cup  brown sugar ½ cup maple syrup (Costco has a large bottle for a good price and it is kosher) 4 eggs 6 apples, peeled and grated Method: Preheat oven to  (355°F).  Place the flour and cinn...

I have mentioned, several times, how much I love minis.  I turn many dishes into minis, anything from muffins to meatloaves.  Thus, it is not surprising, I did the same with these delicious mini spinach kugels.  This is another Pesach recipe. I love my Passover cookbooks and manage to buy a new one each year.  Good thing, the Jewish publishers accommodate my wants and publish these almost annually.  This particular book has been sending a paper booklet to homes across the country for a number of years.  The recipes have been proven and I mean by me.  They are some of the best Pesach recipes, I have come across.  When I found out, a book was being published with those recipes and more, I immediately ordered it.  The book was not out yet but it could be pre-ordered and that is what I did. I couldn't wait for it to arrive and when it did, I found a quiet place and checked out each page and wrote down page after page or dishes, I just had ...

It is my time to pick on Baking With Dorie and I am happy with my selection. I chose the All-in-One Holiday Bundt Cake and it is a really good cake with everything in the world in it.  I have been having difficulties with my bundt pan. Everything seems to stick to it and I have not gotten a decent cake from it in months. It is a Nordic and I love their stuff. I have to figure out what I am doing wrong. As a result, I made mini bundts. I had fun with these. I ended up making five different shapes. There is a lot of batter in this recipe and when I filled 6 mini-bundts, I had enough batter for three more minis. Since hubby is vehemently against any kind of icing, I sprinkled confectioners' sugar on a few of the minis and left the remaining, nude.  In my house, the naked cake is the winner.  I have gotten used to not making pretty cakes.  As long as they taste good and hubby likes them, I am fine with it All in One is perfect for this holiday cake. ...

I love minis so when I discovered this Ellie Krieger recipe, I jumped to make it.  It calls for crab meat which I don't eat so I got a package of the mock crab meat and used that.  I have no idea as to the difference in taste but this was good so it suffices. I understand the appeal of minis.  They are easy to handle and to eat.  If one has self control, taking one is enough.  They are also adorable. Despite all this, do you know anyone who doesn't like a mini?  These are supposed to be more like puffs but there were some logistical problems with gluten products so I changed them and made these adorable tartlets.  Mock Minis Ingredients: 1 egg, beaten 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 2 pieces of roasted red pepper  1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper 1 scallion, including green top, finely chopped 1 pound MOCK crab 3/4 cup corn meal 1/4 teaspoon salt Freshly ...
