Gramma Good&#39;s Marvelous Lentil Soup <b>Recipe</b>

Posted: 07 Jan 2014 02:18 AM PST

This recipe makes a big batch that will last for days. I prefer French lentils, which are nice and meaty and cook a bit faster, but you could also use your choice of green or red lentils.  I love cooking with lentils because they have such a great helping of protein and fiber, and are really nourishing for people of all ages.

I love this recipe because it's so simple.  After the preparation, it's only a few steps until you're eating delicious and hearty soup.  You sauté up some garlic, onions, and tomatoes, throw in the lentils and water, boil and you're off!  This will make enough for about three people, so feel free to multiply the recipe as needed.  As always, enjoy!

Gramma Good's Marvelous Lentil Soup Recipe

Author:

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped (or more if you're feeling garlicky)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry, grape or whole tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup French lentils
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  1. Chop garlic, onion, and tomatoes.
  2. Heat oil in a large saucepan on medium high heat.  Once hot, throw in garlic and onion to sweat.  Once the onion is turning translucent, add in the tomatoes until they start to whither and brown.
  3. If you like a smoother soup, dump entire contents of the pan into a blender and thoroughly blend.  If you like chunks of tomatoes and onions, you can leave as is.
  4. Add lentils to the saucepan along with two cups of water, generously adding salt and pepper.  Cover and simmer on medium-low heat.
  5. Check the water level after about 20 minutes, making sure that lentils are well covered.  If water level is low, add in more water and seasoning.  Cook on medium-low heat until lentils are cooked through, not too soft but not chewy.  Shouldn't take more than a half hour of boiling!

Natural All Purpose Cleaner <b>Recipe</b> & Free Printable - Lovely Greens

Posted: 07 Jan 2014 12:57 AM PST

I've just moved and in clearing the old house I've been finding all kinds of hidden dust, cobwebs, and dribbles, among secret stashes of cat toys and treasures! You think your home is clean until you start moving semi-permanent pieces and climbing up to see the tops of cabinets and shelves. So you can probably imagine that I'm going through a lot of all purpose spray cleaning those surfaces and you'd be right - except the spray I use might not be the one you might be thinking of. 

Several years ago I stopped buying commercial kitchen spray and instead have been making my own. It's the easiest and most cost effective way that I've found to jump-start goals to creating a more natural home. At first I made a version using just vinegar and water and though it performed well, it did smell a bit like a chippy shop for about ten minutes after. The addition of essential oil works wonders on the scent though and there are varieties that can even help with destroying germs and bacteria.

The main ingredient in my kitchen spray is ordinary distilled malt vinegar that I purchase from our local cash and carry. It's inexpensive, colourless, and completely natural. Vinegar is harmless to people and pets but is deadly to bacteria, viruses, and fungus. In one study corraborated by Heinz spokesman Michael Mullen, it was found that just a 5% solution of distilled vinegar was effective in killing 99% of bacteria, 82% of mold, and 80% of germs/viruses, all without the help of harmful chemicals. Vinegar is also used as an additive to commercial cleaners to help create a 'streak-free shine' as seen on the below label.

In my years of using this vinegar cleaning spray I've never once thought that it didn't have the power or effectiveness of commercial products. Sometimes when you switch over to homemade there's a period of adjustment and wishing for the old store-bought version. Not so with this! As a soap maker I also find this spray handy since vinegar helps to neutralize any lye granules or fresh soap splatters that might be lingering on kitchen surfaces.

Natural All Purpose Cleaner

- Empty Spray Bottle

- Distilled White Vinegar and/or Apple Cider Vinegar

- Water

- Essential oil - I use Rosemary & Citronella (matching the scent of my Kitchen and Garden Hand Soap) but others that have a nice scent and antibacterial properties include Lavender, Tea Tree, and Lemon.

1. With a black sharpie, mark the back of your spray bottle approximately 2/3 the way up and beside the mark write 'Vinegar'. Another 1/3 the way up and make another mark and write 'Water'. Using a funnel, fill your spray bottle up with those two ingredients, starting first with vinegar.

2. Add 1/2 to 1 tsp of your preferred essential oil to the bottle. 

3. Since the essential oils like to float to the top, make sure to shake the bottle before each use. Spray away and wipe up as you would with any other household cleaner. If you do smell a bit of the vinegar coming through, it will dissipate after just a few minutes.

And if you'd like to use the same label as I do, with recipe instructions on the front, download the below image which you can print out and place on your bottle. A few dollops of glue might work but I just print directly onto inexpensive, self-adhesive paper.

The Best Biscotti <b>Recipe</b> | Brown Eyed Baker

Posted: 07 Jan 2014 12:14 AM PST

My Grandma's Biscotti Recipe by @browneyedbaker :: www.browneyedbaker.com

Most of my grandma's recipes are written like stereotypical grandma-style recipes. There are a list of ingredients and if you're lucky, most of them will have quantities next to them, but inevitably, some do not. Since my grandma passed away a little over two years ago, my mom and I have taken turns going through her stack of recipes. Her biscotti recipe, in particular, was treasured by everyone in our family. Growing up, I don't think there was ever a time that I went to her house and her ceramic cookie jar wasn't filled to the brim with biscotti. If you just so happened to reach in and grab the last one, not to worry… Grandma would tell you to "go over there on the steps and grab the big tin, there are more in there."

Because, of course there were. That's how Italian grandma's roll.

Unfortunately, none of us ever baked right alongside my grandma when she made her biscotti (they always magically appeared!), and her recipe was rather cryptic – no amount of flour, no oven time, no flavoring amount. Last Christmas, my mom and I tackled the trial and error project of getting the recipe as close as we could. After a few different batches, a lot of dough-feeling and experimenting with flavorings, we finally nailed it!

My Grandma's Biscotti Recipe by @browneyedbaker :: www.browneyedbaker.com

One of the unique things that my grandma did with her biscotti was to use butternut flavoring as opposed to the traditional anise. I personally love anise, but my extended family is split at best on it, and I think more people than not dislike it. Since she always aimed to please, my grandma stopped using anise and adopted the vanilla butternut flavoring, which became her signature biscotti flavor. My grandma would buy the imitation vanilla butter & nut flavoring from the small grocery store in her town, but if you want to amp up the flavor, you could buy pure vanilla-butternut flavor from King Arthur Flour.

The other thing the family had always been split on was nuts. Some loved chopped walnuts in the biscotti, while others wouldn't touch them if they had nuts. Again wanting everyone to be happy, my grandma would make half of her batches with nuts and the other half without. When you make these, feel free to throw them in or leave them out, or use your favorite nut.

When I was younger, I would often pour myself a half cup of coffee, then sit at the table and dunk, dunk, dunk. I've never been a coffee drinker, but to me, there is no better way to enjoy a good biscotti than by dunking it in a cup of coffee.

I wish my grandma were still around and we could sit at her dining room table or mine and chat over a plate of biscotti and cups of coffee. One day.

Yield: About 6 dozen biscotti

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

My grandma's biscotti recipe - a family favorite for decades!

Ingredients:

6 eggs
1½ cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon butternut flavoring
8 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

2. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on medium speed until the mixture is pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Add the oil, milk, and butternut flavoring, and mix for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until completely combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour and baking powder, mixing only until just combined. Give the mixture a final stir with a rubber spatula, and fold in the walnuts (if using).

3. Divide the dough into four equal pieces and shape each into a log about 9 inches long by 3 inches wide. Place two on each sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and place the pans on cooling racks for 10 to 15 minutes, or until you can handle the biscotti easily.

4. Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.

5. Using a sharp knife, slice each log on the diagonal into ½-inch slices. Arrange the slices cut side-up on the baking sheets and return to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping them halfway through. Allow the biscotti to cool on the baking sheets, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
