Labor Day Weekend was dedicated to Culinary Labor in my house. A few recipes to be featured in cookbook. All of the following recipes were tested by myself and other test tasters, and pased the test of approval to be placed in cookbook
ABOVE: Fried Pineapple in Almond
Started off with Fresh Pineapple and cut it into strips
Added freshly ground almond meal in a bowl along with a another ingredient to add flavor. By the way, almonds are VERY healthy and yummy with great nutritional value.
Coated and Fried pineapples rolled in almonds until done. Measurements and other ingredients used in this recipe will be found in The Cookbook of Culinary Elegance. Absolutely yummy and gourmet!
Tired of paying almost $4.00 for one little carton of BROWN RICE MILK in the grocery store for the lactose intolerant who can't drink cow's milk? Did you know you can easily make it yourself in your own kitchen! Recipe with measurements will be in cookbook. Here's a sneak peek of how it's done.
Boiled rice in water for a specific time frame.
Added to food processor, not all at the same time, and blended in my kitchen aid blender until liquidfied. (Note: This is a very heavy duty nice blender and that is requred to properly liquidfy...other nice brands of blender should work as well too, but heavy duty kitchen aid brand is great.)
Using the pitcher that I planned to store the rice milk in, I put a sieve on top, poured the blended rice milk into the sieve catching all the rice bits and only allowing the liquid milk into the pitcher. Vahlah, homemade rice milk that is a whole lot cheaper made easily right in the home.
Using a chicken tigh I made Homemade Chicken Stock from all natural chicken so that I could make homemade Cream of Chicken Soup. I'm VERY picky about chicken since your cheaper chicken tends to be loaded with hormones, (My joke is being a woman I already have enough estrogen in me. :-) ) ....so I tend to prefer making chicken products from scratch and from all natural fed chickens. Most people know how to make chicken stock, but if not, there will be a recipe in the cookbook on how to do so.
Finished Cream of Chicken Soup. Came out yummy. Used my homemade rice milk and chicken broth, brown rice flour, and natural herb spices to get the taste I desired to resemble the store bought kind that most are used to. This is all natural and healthy without the peservatives. Of course it will be featured in The Cookbook of Culinary Elegance.
Cream of Chicken Soup when first put in pot before the rice flour thickend.
Homemade made from scratch Pumpkin Pie. Looked at the ingredients on the back of the pumpkin pie filling that most common people use....was shocked at all the unhealthy ingredients in it, so why not make it yourself!....SUGAR FREE AND GLUTEN FREE! That makes this pie HEALTHY and easy on the waist! NON GLUTEN recipe to be featured in the cookbook!
Made non gluten crust from brown rice flour, oil, and water...as simple as that!
Pureed fresh pumpkin and poured into pie shell and baked in oven until done.
Homemade GLUTEN FREE AND SUGAR FREE Blueberry Pie!
Blueberries are a SUPER FOOD. Super foods are some of the healthiest foods on Earth. Look up the health benefits of blueberries for yourself if you want. This pie has no sugar or gluten in it, and no corn starch in it, so that means this dessert is healthy with great nutritional value! Exciting!
Made the pie shell out of brown rice flour, oil, and water.
Mixed blueberries with brown rice flour, pure powdered stevia, cinnamon, all spice, sea salt, and a few other herbs and spices for flavor. Picture below shows raw blueberry mix poured into pie shell before it was baked.
Made what I called "Cowboy Sirloin Beef Strips" for my dinner after a full day of cooking.
Made Beef Broth from the sirloin steak. Why buy beef broth when you can make it yourself? Beef broth recipe to be in cookbook.
This is why I called the Sirloin Steak Cowboy Steak. Used this all natural BBQ from the health food farmers market! Sale going on all their natural herbs!
Check out the ingredients. All healthy BBQ mix made with all natural herbs! So yummy on beef!
Cut up a few strawberries and tried to decide what to do with them.
Added All Natural Plain Greek Yogurt and Stevia. Thought about coming up with a twist on Strawberry Mousse, but decided that Strawberry Mousse can't really be any better than it is traditionally.
Ended up pureeing in blender and put in freezer. Decided to make a Strawberry Creme Pie with a few more ingredients added later on this week.
