Here's the trial run for our new place to talk about what is going on in our kitchens from canning, drying, frementing, to you name it.
Today and for several days I will be making powders in my blender. Dried onions, celery, store bought bottled red curry sauce, and 3 kinds of chili peppers.
I bought the chili's already dried from Aldi, so now I have to take seeds and ribs out to control the heat.

Sounds like a good way to use up zucchini! Crispy is always good. Sometimes it helps to burn a candle to get rid of smoke or oil smell.

That sounds great Michele! I have never mastered frying fish. I had fried zucchini patties last night and the smell is lingering. I made them mixed with rice and the texture was nice, very crispy! |

Friday fish fry- Home grown french frys, and breaded pan fish, cooked in the dutch ovens over a fire outside. The only way to go, as no mess or oil smell in the house. Boy it was good.

It was a perfect start Debbie. This morning, I had a pan of leftover cinnamon rolls in the freezer. Got them out last night and just need to add some frosting.

Made up a good breakfast this morning. Home grown and smoked bacon, fresh eggs from the hens, home made bread, and canned apple juice from our trees. Enjoying the fruits of our labor for sure.

I would totally try banana peel bacon, just for the novelty of it if nothing else. I love trying different things! Lisa, you will have to let us know how it comes out if you try it!

Good luck Lisa. I am with Sara, don't think I would try it, but let us know what you think!! For me today will be butter making, along with bread. I think I will pass on making cheese today. My family always makes danish coffee cake for Easter, having a little show and tell with pictures in a text messages. I will put together an egg casserole too, for breakfast tomorrow. Will be making punch and dessert for Easter dinner at my ma and dads.

Lisa, seeing I just bought 2 1/2 lbs of bacon it may be a while before I give it a try. Come to think of it I probably won't do it but am interested to hear how you like it.

Ok, so has anyone made banana peel bacon?
Apparently, it is a thing. You take banana peels, scrape out the pulp, and marinate in soy, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder paprika, brown sugar or maple syrup and a bit of oil. Kind of like a rib marinade. Then fry in oil or do in the air fryer. I bought some more bananas today, since the ones I had had brown peels.
Going to try soon. Organic would be best of course, because bananas are laden with pesticides. |

Cindy thanks for sharing Debbie's recipe and I think butternut squash would be a good substitute for carrots.

My dear farmgirl friend, April, recently shared a recipe with me for "Cardamom-Carrot Bars". I absolutely LOVE cardamom, so I had to give it a try. I have adapted the original recipe to be gluten-free and I didn't have any carrots in the fridge, so I used grated Butternut Squash instead which created a delicious, moist result.
Here's Cindy's Gluten-Free version of the "Cardamom-Carrot Bars":-
1/2 cup raisins (soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes, then drained)
2 cups brown sugar
2/3 cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup shredded carrot (or Butternut Squash or Sweet Potato)
2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour (with Xanthan Gum)
1/2 cup pistachios, chopped
1/2 cup white choc-chips
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cardamom (or ground ginger would be nice too)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and line and 8-inch baking pan. Beat sugar, butter and vanilla. Add eggs & combine. Fold in carrots, flour, pistachios, raisins, choc-chips, baking powder, cardamom, baking soda, and salt. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. When cool, slice into bars.

I found this great Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies recipe for Christmas & thought I would share it here on the forum. I made mine into snowflakes, but you can make whatever design appeals to you in the moment:-
Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tbsp water or milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp xantham gum (omit if your all-purpose flour has it)
2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
Cream the sugar and butter in a large bowl. Add the egg, water, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. Blend until mixed well. Add the xantham gum (if using) and flour. Mix at a low speed until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface, about 1/4-inch thick. Cut out dough with selected cookie cutters, and place on baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cookies cool for 5 minutues before removing them to a cooling rack. Cool completely before decorating.
I used a Royal Icing recipe using 3 egg whites (beat until frothy). Add 4 cups icing sugar (beat until thick & shiny). Add 1 tsp vanilla.

We have I think 8 of the little pie tins. My husband has made little chicken pot pies and we have froze them. I think he baked them first. But they are handy for individual servings. Judith on the web, you should be able to find brown bag burritos. Basically you put your hamburger, beans cheese and what ever in a tortilla and roll it up and freeze it. Then you can thaw and reheat. My son and his wife makes breakfast burritos that they really like.
