    Pervs 3.jpg I meant to post this yesterday, but I forgot. This a-peeling Banana Bread recipe was an experiment that turned out well! (Love it when that happens:)) I'd run out of self raising, so used almond flour instead.

    Ingredients

    *300g blanched almond flour
    *1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    *1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
    *1/2 tsp salt
    *1 tsp baking soda
    *3 eggs
    *100ml of honey
    *60ml yogurt
    *3 bananas ripe, mashed
    *1 tsp pure vanilla extract
    *30g of chopped Walnuts

    Grease a large bread tin with butter.
    In a large bowl mix together the almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda.
    In a medium size bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add in the honey, yogurt, mashed bananas, and vanilla. Whisk together until combined.
    Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
    Pour the mix into a large bread tin and bake for 50 minutes at 180°C until the centre is firm.
    Allow to cool.

    ROSEWATER AND VANILLA PANACOTTA W/RASPBERRY SAUCE

    This recipe will make about six Panna Cottas, which is enough to feed one T-Girl:D

    2 gelatine leaves
    300ml milk
    300ml double cream
    1 vanilla pod, split lengthways, seeds scraped out
    40g caster sugar
    1 tablespoon of Rosewater

    For the sauce
    175g sugar
    175ml water
    splash cherry liqueur
    350g raspberries

    Soak the gelatine leaves in a little cold water until soft.
    Place the milk, cream, rosewater vanilla pod and seeds and sugar into a pan and bring to a simmer. Remove the vanilla pod and discard.
    Squeeze the water out of the gelatine leaves, then add to the pan and take off the heat. Stir until the gelatine has dissolved.
    Divide the mixture among six ramekins and leave to cool. Place into the fridge for at least 4 hours, until set (I usually leave mine overnight)

    Place the sugar, water and cherry liqueur into a pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved.
    Take the pan off the heat and add half the raspberries. Using a hand blender, blend the sauce until smooth.
    Pass the sauce through a sieve into a bowl and stir in the remaining fruit.
    To serve, turn each panna cotta out onto a serving plate (I heat the ramekins slightly first). Spoon over the sauce and garnish with a sprig of mint. Dust with icing sugar. YUMMERS!

    honey-cilantro-lime-salmon-103-680x1020.jpg

    Baked Honey Cilantro Lime Salmon in Foil

    creme de la crumb, delish, favorite recipes, main course, salmon

    1 large salmon fillet
    salt and pepper; to taste
    125 mL ½ cup butter; melted
    2 juice of limes
    1 lime; wedges for garnish
    60 mL 4 tbsp honey
    10 mL 2 tsp garlic; minced
    125 mL ½ cup cilantro; roughly chopped

    * Preheat oven to 350°F
    * Line and grease a large baking sheet with foil.
    * Lay salmon on foil and season with salt and pepper on both sides to taste.
    * Slip lime slices underneath the salmon.
    * Stir together butter, lime juice, honey, and garlic.
    * Pour mixture over salmon.
    * Fold sides of foil up over the salmon (don't worry if it doesn't cover the salmon completely).
    * Bake for 15-20 minutes.
    * Switch oven to broil and cook another 5 minutes.
    * Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.

    Notes
    Don't stress about the size of your salmon fillet. This recipe is very forgiving and works for one very large salmon, a couple of medium-sized fillets, or even several small individual fillets.

    For an even lighter version, you can cut back the butter to 4 tablespoons instead of a half cup (8 tablespoons). Keep in mind though that for a very large salmon fillet like the one I used, 8 tablespoons is not a terribly huge amount when divided between 4-6 servings.

    Flambéed chicken with asparagus

    A lot of one pot wonders tend to be Autumn/winter dishes (stews and such) but this is a really lovely one for spring . I usually serve it with new potatoes:)

    Ingredients
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1 tbsp seasoned plain flour
    2 tbsp olive oil
    knob of butter
    4 shallots, finely chopped
    4 tbsp brandy or cognac
    300ml chicken stock
    16 asparagus spears, halved
    4 tbsp crème fraîche
    1 tbsp chopped tarragon

    Method
    Dust the chicken with the flour. Heat the oil and butter in a large, wide pan with a lid, add the chicken, then fry on all sides until nicely browned. Add the shallots, then fry for about 2 mins until they start to soften, but not colour. Pour in the brandy, ignite, then jump well back until the flames have died down. Pick your singed eyebrows out:D Then stir in the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover, then cook for 15 mins until the chicken is lovely and tender.
    Add the asparagus to the sauce. Cover, then cook for 5 mins more until tender. Stir in the crème fraîche and tarragon and warm through. Season to taste. There! You're done!:)

    I eat like I'm still a bachelor, so I don't have anything fancy to contribute..

    Chili Pizza:
    Grab a frozen pizza, a can of Hormel chili, and some shredded cheese(moz or cheddar). Slather the chili all over the pizza, top with cheese, cook as normal. Best served with Frank's Red-Hot.

    Burrito Poutine:
    Needs: Fries, Shredded taco cheese, Refried Beans, Meat(Beef or Chicken.. Tofu can work in a pinch), Taco Seasoning
    Optional toppings: Taco sauce, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Sour cream, Mushrooms, Jalapenos, Anything else..

    I usually do it like this..
    Start cooking some fries in the oven as they take the longest. Seasoned fries are the best.
    Cook the meat with the taco seasoning in a frying pan
    Heat up the refried beans
    Chop some lettuce, tomato, and onion for toppings
    When the fries are about done, cover them in cheese until it melts
    Plate the cheesy fries, Cover in beef, beans, toppings, sauce and cream and whatever else
    Nom. Nom nom, Nom.

    Mug Cakes: You can google this one. Quick and easy and yummy.
