Until the snowplow buried it.)</p> <p>But my favourite new recipe of the year was Tuscan Turkey Soup, introduced to me by my daughter, as an amazing and new way to use up the leftover turkey. I can dig up and attach a recipe if desired, but it's like your regular (broth based) turkey soup with the addition of: tomatoes (diced, sauce, paste or juice); Italian seasoning such as rosemary or oregano; spinach or kale; and ideally pasta or noodles (though still yummy with rice), Also, some fresh Parmesan grated on top if available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-the-best-thing-you-cooked-this-year/page/2#post-1137899 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 21:11:56 +0000 kellygirl 1137899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming back in to report on a few cooking adventures. I have to say that the chicken with dijon and maple was a huge hit and will become a repeat. Thank you for posting that Adriane!&nbsp;I pounded out the chicken breasts so they would cook more evenly but other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. Everyone loved it. &nbsp;I also made one of the raw shredded brussel sprout salads with cranberries, nuts and dijon dressing. Very good but didn't receive much love from the kids. Alicat's sausage, kale, and bean stew came out great too. The recipe is very similar to the Olive Garden version except doesn't have half and half in it. I will be making that again too. So glad that everyone posted their recipes. It's just the thing I needed to get motivated in the kitchen!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-the-best-thing-you-cooked-this-year/page/2#post-1133493 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 02:18:04 +0000 Anonymous 1133493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Favoriting now that I'm moving to the 'burbs.

Ok, this recipe uses a mixer and the fridge... I have to say, I'd like to know when croissants were invented and what they did before this kind of equipment, if it was long ago...</p> <p>Things to know: </p> <ul> <li>Croissants *are* ambitious. It will take several tries to get something that looks decent (but even the first try should taste good).</li> <li>It takes two days (at least) to make croissants. <p>-15 min prep butter block<br />- At least 1 hour back in fridge for butter block (can be prepped far in advance)<br />- 15 minutes initial mix<br />- 2 hours resting time<br />- 30 minutes to roll<br />- Overnight resting time<br />- 45 minutes next day to roll, cut, shape, egg wash<br />- 20 to 25 minutes bake time</p> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>The idea of croissants is a layer of butter over a layer of dough. You then fold these things over together several times to create lots of layers.</li> <li>The dough is a bread dough - so it should be stretchy and fairly *tough* looking. If it looks like cake batter, something has definitely gone wrong. I personally do 3 C all purpose flour, 1 C bread flour.</li> <li>Watch the Martha Stewart videos on YouTube for how to roll, cut and shape.</li> <li>The whole idea is to <b>stretch </b>the dough and butter layers at the same time with the rolling pin, when rolling.</li> <li>Definitely use the indent and roll method. Make sure the dough/butter is warm enough to stretch (but not actually warm).</li> <li>8 x 24 is a good size for rolling out the dough.</li> <li>The idea of shaping a croissant is to cut a long triangle and roll up from the base (widest part).</li> </ul> <p><u>Croissants</u><br /><i>yield ~12</i></p> <p>1.6 C milk<br />.25 C sugar<br />1.6 oz yeast<br />4 C flour<br />1 tsp salt<br />12.8 oz unsalted butter</p> <p><i>Prep Butter Block</i> </p> <ul> <li>Pound butter into square flat block. A little less than a quarter inch thick. Return to fridge. This can be done far in advance - and you may be happier if you do it far in advance.</li> </ul> <p><i>Make Croissants</i></p> <ol> <li>Mix milk, sugar, and yeast (speed 2/medium). Wait until bubbles form.</li> <li>Add rest of ingredients and mix. Do NOT mix much.</li> <li>Rest in fridge 1.5 - 2 hours.</li> <li>Fold in butter block.</li> <li>Execute 3 turns.</li> <li>Rest overnight.</li> <li>Roll out, cut, and shape.</li> <li>Egg wash.</li> <li>Bake at 400 F for ten minutes (220 C), then reduce heat to 350 F (180 C) and bake for 10-15 minutes until well browned and<br /> puffy</li> </ol> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-the-best-thing-you-cooked-this-year#post-1132929 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 18:43:24 +0000 ramya 1132929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My pleasure April.
