Mash the Cauliflower

I was very hesitant to do a blog post on something other than a yummy treat....BUT I did it. I made a cauliflower creation that actually tasted delicious.

I got this inspiration from a co-worker, she said her 8 year old makes it all the time so I thought, "well if she can do it...."

haha

Twice baked cauliflower is the name of the game...I went through several recipes on Pinterest trying to find the one with the least amount of ingredients. Didn't want to stress myself out, you know what I mean?

I struggled with pictures this time....photography is not my forte. 



As you can see, I chose the smallest cutting board and biggest pot I owned for this. I'm a natural...haha

The next step was to mash the cauliflower with your potato masher. uhh...what am I supposed to do when I don't have this so called potato masher? 




Add some stuff and mix...then spread in a casserole dish. Check. 

Add some more stuff to the top. Check.

I put it in the oven, then read over the directions to see how long I needed to bake it for. It was then, that I realized it said to bake COVERED. oh boy. It was a solid minute that I debated on putting the lid that came with the casserole dish over it or aluminum foil. I went with the latter. I didn't want to risk the plastic lid MELTING. 


Anyway, I baked it and then ate it. It was good. Even my husband liked it.

Whipping the Whipping Cream

Image
For my first recipe review I wanted to keep it simple and easy.  As it turns out, nothing is ever easy for me. haha. The recipe I decided to use is called:  Quick and Easy Nutella Mousse  The mousse was not quick and easy! It literally took me 3 days to make it. I decided on Friday night I was going to make it and have it as a weekend treat, boy was I wrong. haha I followed the recipe and I got to the first step, which was to pour the heavy cream into a bowl.  I poured the cream into the bowl and then bumped it and the cream spilt everywhere so I gave up and went to bed. Today I decided to try again. The instructions said that the prep time would only take 5 minutes. My prep time was soooo long! I felt like it took forever to whip the cream. It shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Five million years later I finally felt it was good enough to be considered "stiff to a peak". My favorite part of the instructions was the " use a pipi...

A Cookie?

I honestly didn't even know what I was making was a cookie until right before I put them in the oven.....the literal name of the recipe is called "New York Cheesecake Cookies ". I just saw the cheesecake part and was sold. Whatever. I made some dang cookies. I always feel like i'm setting myself up for success. I think in my head Yes, i'm going to nail this recipe and it won't be tragic and look like a child made it. Nope. Something seems to go wrong. Whelp. Here it is: So, here are my ingredients. Did you know that you can buy graham crackers already in crumb form? And they smell amazing! Heart eyes all around. So, for some reason this recipe kept telling me to get bowls. Like, why?  It wanted me to get out 3 bowls...for 12 cookies...come on... Here you'll see my graham cracker crumbs mixed with my flour. Isn't it pretty? Yes that is a burn on my hand from a previous cooking adventure featuring the oven... On a positive no...

The last one....

This is my last post for my class! I can't believe I did it! I'm not sure if I will continue to blog about my Pinterest attempts. TBD For my last recipe I decided to do something I've been wanting to do since watching Britain's Next Great Baker on Netflix. They are always talking about puff pastry. Puff pastry is the name of the game for this recipe and it was actually pretty fun. There is a lot of rolling and folding and it's rather soothing. After starting this recipe I noticed that the recipe only tells you how to make the puff pastry, it didn't tell me what to do with it after I had made it, so I had to find another recipe to finish them out. The first thing the recipe said was to mix flour and salt. Done. Next, cut up some cold butter into cubes. (The funny thing is, it specifically said high-quality butter. haha aint nobody got time for that) Add to flour and mix. It said to use some sort of pastry device, which I obviously don't hav...
