Leftover Breakfast Hash Last week I made the most delicious Hete Bliksem, which translates literally as Hot Lightening . Normally we make this with potatoes, apples and some bouillon, but I've been making it with celery root in an effort to eat Primal (Paleo). It tastes really good with celery root, too. So, I made the Hete Bliksem and served it together with Oostere Spek  (Eastern as in Asian Pork) which is one of our favorite meals. And all through the meal Mark was exclaiming his love for the meal! And I was, too. Love it! celery root But I didn't want to eat it again so soon, so I stored up the leftovers* in the freezer to save for the following week. Then, in the meantime, Mark eats some spoiled meat (little pork sausages) that he'd been carrying around all week long (supposed to be refrigerated after opening) and then he gets sick on his birthday. And he takes a while to recover from food poisoning. And then he goes and associates my delicious  meal with...

I'm due with child #3 in 22 days. Of course, the baby probably won't come for 27 days because I'm not that lucky. But this is the reason for my lack of posts this month of July. I have been cooking though - I have to otherwise, we don't eat. I'm not just baking all the time - although I have been busy with Sweet Rolls that Rock.  In the last couple of weeks I have made some really yummy meals and I share one here with you today. I call this the "Bakbanaan Broodje" in Dutch... because these green or very ripe yellow-blackish large bananas are for baking - hence "bak" "banaan." I've had the fried plantain chips a few times and those are really yummy but I wanted to try a recipe using this baking banana that was different. I set out on a search online and found this . I've made it twice now. I think it's delicious and you can pretty much use any sandwich dressings you like. We made ours today with salsa, lettuce, sprouts, f...

A friend of mine came over this morning so I could help her with making Strawberry Buttercream Frosting. No problem. Let's look online. So I do a search and almost everything I find has actual strawberries in it. Which, I admit, sounds so delicious. But her client that she is making it for requested strawberry flavored buttercream frosting. They do not want actual strawberry bits in it. I don't know why - it doesn't make any sense to me. So I saw some recipes that asked for frozen thawed strawberries and then to just use the juice. And another recipe said to use seedless strawberry jam. I am not even sure if I have ever seen seedless strawberry jam in these parts at least. So then I remembered a recipe from one of my books - and I have adapted it to work for this client's wants. I give you Easy Strawberry Buttercream Frosting . Enjoy. 1/4 cup (55 grams) Crisco 1/4 cup (57 grams) Butter or (55 grams) margarine 1 3/4 to 2 cups (228 to 260 grams) powdered sugar 4 ...
