BIZZY BAKES

This is an old recipe, I am reposting to submit to the Healing Foods Event . Spicy Chicken and Mango Stir Fry Cat Cora There is a lot of flexibility in this recipe.  Select your favorite recipes.  Add a special spice.  Play with it and create your own dish.  It should be good.  I added tomatoes to the recipe, subbed peas in place of snow peas, which I do not have, and added brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice to the marinade.  I am going overboard, including pumpkin pie spice in many recipes but it works.  It brings a subtle flavor and aroma.  I also grated ginger into the marinade which magnified the pumpkin pie aroma. Spicy Chicken and Mango Stir-Fry   adapted from recipe created by Cat Cora Servings: Serves 2 Ingredients: Marinade and Chicken: 1/4 cup soy sauce  1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken , sliced...

I buy many vegetable for Passover, twenty pound bags of potatoes, ten pound bags of onions, ten pound bags of carrots and then I fill the basket with all kinds of squash.  In my heart, I know that I am not going to use all those squash and sure enough, close to the end of the holidays, I found a dozen zucchini, 3 butternut squash and 2 acorn squash.  I also found a dozen sweet potatoes, a dozen oranges and about ten lemons.  I was not going to let these vegetables defeat me and I started cooking. One way to use the zucchinis and onions was in the following dish.  You will find, within a few days a potato zucchini recipe on  Bizzy B. Bakes .  Who know what else I will come with?  I am thinking zucchini latkes ( pancakes ) or zucchini kugel or something with zucchini and carrots.  Come and visit and see how I use most of these vegetables in the next few days.

I wanted a different way to make the gefilte fish, this week and I came across this recipe by Jamie Geller, an author of kosher books.  Mine is not marinara.  It is more Turkish because of what I subbed for the marinara sauce.  I have made gefilte fish in marinara sauce and it is really good but for Passover, I try to change recipes so we can  explore new tastes. Gefilte Marinara  Adapted from Jamie Geller Cook Time:    2 hours Yield:              8 servings Ingredients: 1 (22-ounce) loaf frozen gefilte fish 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 medium onion, chopped 1/3 cup matbucha (from bottle) Method: 1.  Preheat oven to 350° F.  Spray a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. 2.  Rinse frozen gefilte loaf under water to remove parchment wrapper and place in prepared pan. 3.  Sprinkle fish with onion powder. 4.  Cover with chop...

I am offline for a few days and I have saved this as scheduled, hoping it will be posted on the right day.  Baking with Dorie is close to my heart and I hate missing it so I am going to hope a weak try will suffice, for this month. I am not sure who selected this or much of anything else.  I baked it a while back for Tuesdays with Dorie and I am thrilled, I can participate, even a bit shakily. I made these gluten free and subbed corn meal and a rice mixture.  I am sure it did not taste like those that were made of all those interesting grains, we don't eat but it was filled with enough goodness to be very enjoyable. This is a great group so if you like to bake and are not part of Tuesdays with Dorie, you might like to join us at Baking with Dorie.   We bake twice a month and we have had lots of fun doing this.  There are some great recipes coming up.  I can't wait.

Silky Sweet Potatoes I got the idea for this delicious side dish from Tamar Ansh.  She kept me busy, last Passover and is doing so again, this year. Silky Sweet Potatoes  (adapted) Ingredients: cooking spray 4 sweet potatoes, peeled salt 2 tablespoons vegetable oil brown sugar Method: Spray two baking sheets with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees  Thinly slice potato,  using food processor.              In bowl with large flat bottom, put 3 tablespoons brown sugar and 2 tablespoons oil.  Add as you go along. Put pieces of sweet potato in bowl.   Spray the tops of the potatoes and cover with brown sugar. Arrange slices on baking sheets without overlapping.   Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.   The recipe in the cookbook said to bake for 45 minutes.  I am baking these again for only 15 minutes.  I will change this, if necessary.
