Healthy pancake recipe using superfruits sharedThe African Chef, Malcolm Riley, shares his new creation to make yummy pancakes which are extraordinarily healthy also since they use superfruits in the UK.

The newest fruit in the UK, baobab fruit, is not known to many people since it has been brought in the UK just very recently.  However the Africans have been eating this fruits for centuries owing to its rich nutrients.

Due to the increased amounts of vitamins, minerals and hostile to oxidants baobab is said to be a characteristic help to health and may likewise support the assimilation of iron from nourishment, which is truly paramount for youngsters when their bones are developing.

Kung San bushmen of the Kalahari must definitely be including it in his diet to ward off winter colds, battle fevers, stomach irritates and as a general pick-me-up.


The 99 Cent Chef: Thanksgiving & Christmas 2013 <b>Recipe</b> <b>...</b>

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 01:01 AM PST

It's the most busy and overwhelming cooking day -- well don't fret, The 99 Cent Chef wants to take the stress out and make it a bit easier for you. I got it all here: my holiday recipes, along with a cupboard full of money saving tips for you during this Thanksgiving and Christmas season.

 Below is everything you need to serve a sumptuous and cost-saving dinner table feast. Presented with links to my recipes, easy to follow directions, and illustrated with yummy photos and fun videos. And make sure you bookmark this page because Christmas is right around the corner -- yikes!

First up, if you live in Los Angeles, the Grinchiest Chef would recommend getting your big bird at any Superior Grocers -- just click here to see the great deals to be had, it's incredible. (Be sure to check back, this market just opened last week right down the street from me, so the deals to be found here are just beginning.)


You can get a 10-27 pound turkey for 47 cents per pound with a $25 purchase. That's no problem, when Superior Grocers sells yams at 5 pounds for 69 cents, russet potatoes 8 pounds for 99 cents, tomatoes 4 pounds for 99 cents, yellow onions 7 pounds for 99 cents, green bell peppers 5 for a dollar, collard greens for 69 cent per pound, and pork butt (2 per package) for 77 cent a pound. (Now, that's a whole new upcoming pork dish, Mexican Carnitas, I made a video for -- you gotta grab the deals wherever they show up!)

The main event is the centerpiece, a fat turkey overloaded with stuffing. Now, wouldn't it be great if you could get away with just setting out a stack of heated Banquet Turkey Dinners? That really is the cheapest way to go. Well I know that won't fly, but one year in my bachelor days I had one. My wacky review of this frozen poultry fiasco dinner is a click away here.

But seriously, last year I posted my version of a Turkey with Stuffing recipe, just click here to read all about it. Not only is there a recipe that features my Mother-in-laws decedent sausage stuffing, but I made a video below for you. And it's done in my newest movie technique of stop motion animation to boot.

My recipe is stuffed with cooking tips and cheap shopping sources like my local 99c only Store that carries boxes of stuffing and Hormel Bacon & Pork Sausage Links for, you guested it, 99.99 cents. Right now they are selling everything but the bird! See their latest flyer of ingredients, here.


Come take a walk on the wild sides with The 99 Cent Rebel Chef. And you can be sure the following links will go over big with your hungry family and visiting neighbors. You've never seen stuffing made like this: Stuffing Cupcakes with Cranberry Topping & Gravy. And here's a video that PBS in Seattle flew me out to make for them.

To get the step-by-step directions for this most deliciously unique savory and sweet stuffing recipe click here. It's easy and quick to make, all you need (or borrow) is a cupcake pan. Stuffing Cupcakes are portable for an office party or any gathering you may be invited too. If you are like me, stuffing, next to roasted turkey, is the main event for my ravenous taste buds.


Boring Creamed Spinach is a typical Christmas side, but I have a Hindi twist. One of my favorite India restaurant side dishes is Saag Paneer, which is just like creamed spinach, but with cheese and the added spice punch of ground cumin . My version is made with easy-to-get (and lower fat) cottage cheese instead of Indian Paneer (cheese) and Ghee (butter). Once you and your family try my cheesy and creamy Saag Paneer, you won't go back to Creamed Spinach. And the recipe is a click away, here.

If you are looking for traditional sides I have the old school French Fried Onions and Green Bean Casserole, that is right out of the 1960's Mad Mad TV series. Yea, all you need is a can opener for the green beans and Campbell's Mushroom Soup. This is a classic recipe were Betty Crocker has it right -- creamy, crunchy and so satisfying. Click here to see how easy and cheap it is to make.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts are edible Christmas ornaments that you can add to the oven during the last 30 minutes of your roasting turkey. Just drizzle them with oil and dust with salt and pepper. Go here to see the recipe details. It couldn't be simpler to do and here is my stop motion animated video to prove it.

Of course, I have some more sides for you, just click on any of the following names:  Whiskey Yams with Brown Sugar Pumpkin Seeds, Squash Tomatoes and Onions, Brussels Sprouts in Sour Cream, Roasted Potatoes with Carrots, Honey Orange Glazed Carrots, Collard Green with Molasses, Asparagus and Red Potato Salad, and a Pear and Spinach Salad with Creamy Dressing.

And if that isn't enough -- it's dessert time! After you push yourself away from the table and waddle to the couch to catch a holiday game on the TV, be sure to grab a handful of  my wife's Cranberry Orange and Coconut Cookies (click on the name for recipe.)


But you can't do better than desserts made by Mom. They know what makes a family happy and mine has been generous enough to show me how she does it. Here are a couple of videos I made of her homemade Pumpkin Pies and Mini Pecan Pies.

Now is the time to hit up your local grocery for cans of pumpkin, or if you are cheap like me, cans of sweet potato. You can use either, as the taste is identically delicious.


Check out my Mom's recipe for her Pumpkin Pie by clicking here. Here is my video of Mom making her luscious Pumpkin Pie.

Every Christmas holiday my wife and I eagerly await a package from Mom of her famous Mini Pecan Pies. A dozen of them travel well inside a shoe box from Louisiana to Los Angeles. These small pies are the tastiest present one can receive, and I got her recipe for you -- all you have to do is click here.

This is a great Christmas party dessert, but make sure to give your host a few, as they will disappear way too fast. If you don't believe me, just check out the video I made of Mom setting out a plateful -- and watch my relatives devour them in no time flat! (By the way, I think you will be impressed how the Chintzy Chef gets around paying normally exorbitant pecan prices.)

Well after all that slaving in the kitchen you deserve an Egg Nog. In my first holiday themed video from 2008, I made a Homemade Egg Nog that went a 99 cent airline bottle of rum too far. Be sure to view past the recipe for my humorously Tipsy Tree Trimming fiasco -- blogpost with written recipe and photos here.

I hope all my visitors have a great holiday. Keep checking back here for more budget recipes and loads of new food videos.

Portabella Mushrooms stuffed with Herbed Chickpeas. Vegan <b>Recipe</b>

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 12:06 AM PST



Didn't I say that my brain juices start flowing around the holiday season:)

These delicious Portabellas, stuffed with Chickpeas, Cashews, carrots, onions, herbs and bread crumbs make for delicious addition to the holiday menu. Add some cranberries to make these even more festive.

No pre-cooking of the stuffing is required. You can saute the stuffing a bit if you prefer. These portobellos come together fairly quickly. Switch out the bread crumbs with gluten-free ones or use coarsely ground oats or just omit them to make these gluten and grain free. Omit the oil to make oil-free.

What are some of your favorite harvest stuffings.

As I am not a big fan of mushrooms, I made myself a personal pizza topped with the herbed chickpea mixture. :)

And the Chewie chronicles continue. He should be eating antibiotics, but it is an hour long ordeal everyday to get him to eat them. The powdery substance is too much to fit into a any kind of treat and inevitably falls out. He spits out anything we add it to, including his favorite things like rice, apple sauce, almond butter. Dogs are super smart. I was browsing the interwebz to get more ideas on how to get him to eat stuff, and found that there are some even smarter dudes. One dog learnt to hide the pills on the side of his mouth and eat the treats/pill pockets and then spit out the pill when no one was looking. 
The poor pup hasn't been sleeping well at night and so have we. I hope we can find some relief for him soon.

One thing is for certain. At some point during the day my counters will inevitability end up looking like this. It's rarely clean until 10 at night or the following morning. But for good reason. It's used for everything all day, everyday.  My kitchen is most definitely the heart of my home . If my children aren't tucked up against the counters on dining chairs helping me bake or cook, they're sitting on top of the dining table painting, playing play dough, eating snacks or they're running circles around me zooming their race cars up and down the kitchen floors.

The moment the temperatures dip, we crave soothing, warming foods to counterbalance the freezing cold -20 degrees lurking outside. My favorite comfort foods are homemade soups and stews and casseroles but sadly they're not my family's favorites! For dinners we stick to mainly healthy meals: fish, rice, quiche, chicken, salads, whole grain pastas, veggies and homemade pizza once a week.  Sidenote: I can cook 3 pizzas at the same time using the convection and each comes out perfectly done! If I had to pick a few other than my husband's deep love for my lasagna the comfort favorites around here are:

The Frigidaire Gallery Induction Range has been a wonderful oven. I do a lot of baking and cooking and I can count on this oven to give me the same results every single time. The heat is even, the convection is there when I need it and our meals are never dried out, over cooked or underbaked.  The tops of all my breads and rolls are perfectly crispy and yet remain moist and fluffy inside.

Okay and it might have a little bit to do with spending a lot of time in a kitchen. Practice makes perfect ;)

Today I'm sharing Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls. My diet is all about moderation and homemade baked goods like these are something I have no guilt about enjoying a few times a week.

The original recipe is supposed to be made with a bread machine but I make my bread by hand and don't have one. It also calls for margarine, which I don't use so I always substitute with butter.  The end result is always fantastic even with a few adjustments.

Screen shot 2012 02 29 at 11.22.33 PM1 Comfort Foods with the Frigidaire Gallery Induction Range | Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls Recipe | #testdrivemoms

Dough:

  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup white sugar

Filling:

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened

Frosting:

  • 1 package of cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt (omit if you use salted butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Turn oven to 200F then turn off once it reaches 200F. Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk.  Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add eggs and melted butter to the milk/yeast mixture. Whisk to combine then stir in dry ingredients.

Once the dough is mixed and everything is wet, dampen a tea towel, place over the bowl and set bowl in the warmed oven for 30 minutes or until the dough has almost doubled.

Once your dough has risen, roll out into a 16×20 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread dough with butter and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls and place them in a greased 9×13 baking dish.

I always line mine with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper with butter. Instead of covering them and letting them rise again on the counter, I turn my oven to 400 degrees and put them in the oven to rise while it's preheating. Once the oven is preheated to 400, let them bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.

While they're baking make your frosting.

These cinnamon rolls are best served warm, so heat them up one at a time as you need them for 20-30 seconds then spread frosting on top.

Enjoy!
