Six Ways to Save Time in the Kitchen

March 7, 2011 by KerryAnn 1 Comment

I often get asked how I determine how much time it takes to cook a recipe. Normally, when someone asks this, they take longer on most recipes and want to know why. Here are a few tips and tricks I use to streamline my time in the kitchen.

1. Label Everything

If you don’t have to stand around trying to figure out which package of frozen meat blobs is the right cut, you waste less time. Ditto for the identical looking white powder line-up: tapioca flour, baking soda, baking powder, potato starch, arrowroot starch and xanthan gum. No, you really won’t remember what that mystery blob is six months from now. Label and date everything.

2. Group like items together

I have a baking center set up in my kitchen. [Read more…] about Six Ways to Save Time in the Kitchen

Recently on the Facebook CTF page, someone mentioned a new dairy-free cheese on the market that melts and strings like real cheese. Since I’ve been working on developing a variety of pizza crusts, I decided to look into it. [Read more…] about Review- Daiya Dairy-Free Cheese

Coconut milk yogurt

I’ve been working on making a thick and rich coconut milk yogurt. As soon as the recipe is done, I’ll be putting it into the Menu Mailer. This was one of my last rounds.

It’s coming out creamy and nicely thick. I’ve also tested a yogurt cheese made into cheesecake recipe, and we enjoyed that. Look for these recipes in the Menu Mailer in the coming weeks.

Cheap Eats- Budget Breakfasts V: Toad in the Hole

November 3, 2010 by KerryAnn 3 Comments

This recipe is great for kids. They like being able to pick it up and hold breakfast or lunch with one hand and have their cup in the other. I have no idea how this dish got its name, but I’ve heard it called this my whole life. We prefer the scrambled version of this dish, and a dash of cheese could easily be added to the egg mixture if you are not allergic to dairy.

If you don’t have access to sourdough bread, any type of sliced bread can be used. The thicker the bread is sliced, the more eggs you will need.
