Mexican Pizza

My son will not let his older sisters kiss him. He will accept kisses from his Dad. He will let me kiss him. He will even reluctantly kiss me good bye in front of his friends at school. Noted, I did say reluctantly. When I made this Mexican pizza, his sister shared some of her pizza with him. He really liked it a lot. He still wouldn't kiss her. Don't worry. His sister's will kiss his cheek after he goes to sleep. Then they tell him the next day.

Blueberry Cheesecake

Cheesecake and I are not friends. I hate how good it taste. I hate that it comes in a variety of wonderful flavors. I hate to share my cheesecake. However, I will be your best friend if you share your cheesecake with me until it is gone.
New York Style Cheesecake with a Blueberry topping
Crust:
8 oz. vanilla wafer cookies (about 2/3 of the box)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
8 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Directions:
  1. In a food processor, finely ground the vanilla wafer cookies.
  2. Add the sugar and salt. Pulse a couple of times.
  3. Add the melted butter and mix together.
  4. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a buttered 9 1/2 inch Springform pan. Set aside.
Cheesecake filling:
5 (8 oz.) packages of cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 tsp vanilla
5 large eggs
2 egg yolks

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  2. On the outside bottom of the Springform pan, cover the bottom and half way up the sides with aluminum foil so no water can enter the pan.
  3. Place the Springform pan in the bottom of an oven safe roasting pan.  (So, the Springform pan is sitting inside the roasting pan and is ready for a water bath.)
  4. In an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese for about 3 minutes until smooth.
  5. Add the sugar and flour and cream for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  6. Add the vanilla and mix for about a minute.
  7. On low speed, add the eggs one at a time. Scrap down the bowl before adding the next egg. 
  8. Add the egg yolks one at a time. Scrap down the bowl after each addition.
  9. Pour the filling on top of the cookie crust inside the Springform pan.
  10. Boil some water and carefully pour the hot water into the oven safe pan so the outside of the Springpan is sitting in a water bath. Only fill the roasting pan with water half way up the side of the Springform pan. Make sure no water spills onto the creamcheese filling. (This will help prevent the top of the cheesecake from cracking. I have never had water leak into the base of my cheescake yet since I lined it with the aluminum foil. Please see youtube for some examples of a water bath if desired.)
  11. Bake the cheesecake for about 10 minutes. The top of the cheesecake should be puffed and golden brown.
  12. Reduce the temperature to 250 degrees and cook for about 45 minutes to an hour. The cake should be mostly firm with the center slightly wobbly if the pan is shaken gently.
  13. Very carefully, remove the pan from the oven and run a knife on the outside edge of the cheesecake to loosen it. 
  14. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the Springform pan.
  15. Chill the cheesecake for at least 6 hours. Make sure to loosely cover the cheesecake without allowing the plastic wrap to touch the top.
Blueberry topping:
1 (15 oz.) package of frozen wild blueberries
1 lemon zested and juiced
1/4 cup of sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Reduce to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  4. Allow to completely cool before spooning the mixture on top of the cheesecake.

No Knead Bread

Have you ever read The Story of the Little Red Hen? When I cook, sometimes I feel like the little red hen. Who will help me make supper? Any volunteers? Who will help me clean up? Any volunteers? Sometimes it is better to delegate. I will admit my little ones help more in the kitchen than my oldest. Since I think it is a great skill to know, I will ask for their help. They do like to help cook so it is easy. So, I asked who wants to help me make some bread. My youngest daughter volunteered. I found this recipe awhile ago on Steamy Kitchen but just hadn't made it. She has great instructions on her blog with her four year old son demonstrating how to make this bread. She even has her son kiss the bowl good night. Well, I really thought my nine year old would give me a crazy look when I suggested this move. Nope, she just giggled and kissed it good night. The best part of making this bread was her sense of accomplishment. At supper, she told everyone that she had made the bread. It has a nice crunchy crust with a soft inside. Oh, it is very good. It does need to be started the night before but it is quick. 
No Knead Bread
1 1/2 cups warm water (around 105 degrees F)
1 package of instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
3 cups bread flour
2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp dried rosemary

Directions:
  1. In a large cup, combine the water with the yeast and 1 tsp of sugar.
  2. Allow to proof for about 5 minutes to check the yeast.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the yeast water with the flour, salt, and rosemary until the dough comes together.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and allow to sit at room temperature for 12 to 20 hours.
  5. After sitting, dump the dough onto a floured surface. With greased hands, fold the ends of the dough over a few times.
  6. Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper.
  7. Lift the parchment paper with the dough in the center of it and place into a large bowl.
  8. Cover the dough and allow to rest for 2 hours.
  9. When the dough has rested for 1 hour and 30 minutes, slip an oven safe pot (Dutch oven) into the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  10. Carefully, remove the preheated pot from the oven and place the dough into the pot.
  11. Cover the pot and bake for 30 minutes.
  12. Uncover and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes. The crust should be golden brown and the middle of the loaf has reached 210 degrees F.
  13. Carefully, remove the bread from the pot and allow to cool on a wired rack.

Chess

My son asked me to teach him chess. As I set up the chess board, I couldn't remember any of the names of the pieces. I could remember where the pieces went which is a good start. Then I showed him how the pieces moved on the board. It took me several times to explain to my son that he could not place the Queen where ever on the board. He did try some fancy moves but I would send the piece back for him to try again. I didn't play him to win but to teach him the game. From his vast experience of chess, he told me that I was a pretty good chess player. He is so sweet. At least, I remember his name.
Macerated Strawberries with zest of Grapefruit

  3. Allow the fruit to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Happy President's Day!

Yes, I love holidays. I really like holidays that I'm able to spend the day at home with my children. My love for the holidays probably stem from my parents. No, they didn't celebrate the minor holidays like President's day. My son's favorite President is President George Washington. He likes to tell me the cherry tree story often. Since I realized I have never posted the pie crust recipe I use, I made cherry hand pies. When I make pie crust, I always use my food processor but it could easily be made by hand. I've been making this recipe for over ten years but sometimes with no shortening and all butter. 
 Pie Crust
 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
8 oz. unsalted butter, chilled
8 oz. shortening
1/4 to 1/2 cup very cold water

Directions:
  1. Cut the butter into small pieces and chill.
  2. Place the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor.
  3. Pulse the flour mixture for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the butter and pulse for about 10 seconds. The mixture should resemble coarse meal.
  5. Continue pulsing while slowly adding the cold water. Stop when the mixture begins to come together. Do not pulse for more than 30 seconds.
  6. Turn the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface.
  7. Form one large ball and cut it in half.
  8. Wrap each half with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  9. Use the dough within a day for best results.

Mardi Gras

I normally dance with my daughters. I hadn't realized I don't just dance with my son without his sisters involved. Since he will be eight years old soon, he should learn to dance with just two people. I felt like we were in a mosh pit. I may be bruised up and down my sides. I'm not sure who taught him to dance like this but I have a feeling it may have been my oldest. We need a lot more practice or he may not have a date for prom. Yes, I think it may take that long.

Chinese New Year

When we order take out at our local Chinese restaurant, I order chicken lo mein. It is a lot of  noodles with pieces of vegetables and chicken. I figured it couldn't be a lot of work. When I researched several recipes, they called for oyster sauce and other ingredients which wouldn't taste like the one I ordered. So, I figured I would attempt to make up a recipe. Does it taste like the one I order? No. Is it good? Yes. Does my son like it? Very much. It still gives me a nice excuse to order out once in  awhile.

Heath Bits Peanut Butter Cookies

I am normally not a klutz. However, yesterday was a big exception. Yesterday, I had to drive up north to meet with this lady. I felt a little tired but it was no big deal. Well, the lady invited me into her office to talk. I put my stuff down on the floor except for my jacket. The lady said something to me as I took a step backwards accidentally onto my jacket. I lost my balance and caught myself as I stepped back with my other foot meanwhile knocking her chair over. I then turned which made my jacket whip out and hit the lady's plant. The plant went flying to the floor. Impressively, I didn't harm the chair or the plant. I will truly say a comedian could not have done my timing any better. I did apologize and I was wide awake for the rest of the day. There is nothing better to wake a person up then make wreckage in an office. If you are feeling a little tired today, I recommend some caffeine or maybe one of these cookies. It is safer.

3/4 cups creamy peanut butter

Cookie Dough

Why did it take me so long to try these cupcakes? I love cookie dough ice cream. It could have been the lack of peanut butter. It could have been they seemed like a lot of work. I'm not sure of the reason but they are delicious. My children loved them. My oldest daughter said they are one of her all time favorite cupcakes. I brought them to work and my coworkers seemed to like them. I even have some left over cookie dough in the freezer so it wouldn't be hard to make them again.

Ground Hog Day

Tomorrow is Groundhog day. I wonder who thought to watch a rodent come out of a hole to predict spring. I will admit I will watch the news tomorrow to find out if he saw his shadow. Won't you? My sister saw a robin lately and maybe it is a sign of an early spring? I actually watch for the arrival of Mr. & Mrs. Mallard to return since there is a pond near us. In celebration of Groundhog Day, I thought it would be fun to make homemade bread in a porcupine/ground hog shape. It is also a great way to warm up the kitchen. It was record highs yesterday so maybe it is foreshadowing an early spring.
Homemade White Loaf
2 cups warm water (about 105 degrees F)
1 envelope active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
4-5 cups white bread flour
1 Tbsp salt
1 egg, beaten with a little water
2 Tbsp rosemary
  1. In a small bowl, add the water, yeast, and sugar. Set aside to proof.
  2. In a large bowl,  combine 4 cups of bread flour and salt.
  3. Add the yeast water and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add about 1 Tbsp of flour at a time.
  4. On a clean surface dusted with flour, knead the bread for about 10 minutes. 
  5. Form the dough into a smooth ball.
  6. Grease a large bowl and add the dough to the middle.
  7. Oil the top of the bread and cover with oiled plastic wrap. 
  8. Allow to rise for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  9. When the dough has doubled in size, punch down the dough and divide in half.
  10. Form two balls and allow to rise for another 1 hour on a greased cookie sheet.
  11. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  12. Gently slice the top of the dough to make crisscross patterns.
  13. Brush a little of the beaten egg onto the dough and sprinkle with rosemary.
  14. Cook for 25 minutes or until cooked through. Tap the bottom of the loaves and it should sound hallow.
