Breakfast Time on Tuesday!
Comments (6)Sue, I sure wish I had your energy. I just rolled out of bed at 8:00 and having coffee and catching up here. I will have a protein shake for breakfast. Went out for lunch and dinner yesterday so need to be careful today. My plans for the day are to do some cleaning which I have been putting off. Have a wonderful day. ps--hope your hubby is doing ok....See MoreBreakfast Time on Thursday!
Comments (7)Arlettes are crispy, flaky, cinnamon cookies (biscuits to the British), made with puff pastry dough, so that they have air-filled layers. The dough is rolled very thin, in powdered sugar, to keep them from sticking to the counter and rolling pin, then baked quickly in a 400 degree oven. The sugar melts during baking, making them shiny in spots. You can use prepared puff pastry dough, but I make my own from flour, salt, butter, and water. This recipe is close to the one I use, but I've changed a couple of things. I spread the rolled dough with a thin layer of softened butter, then sprinkle with just cinnamon--no sugar, before rolling into logs. I slice thin rounds and roll them thin in powdered sugar (some recipes call it icing sugar), then place on parchment paper on the baking sheets. Each one needs a heaping tablespoon of powdered sugar for rolling, which is why I omit the sugar in the filling. The paper makes it much easier to remove the baked cookies, and can be reused for each successive batch. Store in a tightly covered container--humidity makes them less crispy....See MoreBreakfast Time on Saturday!
Comments (16)-7F in Calgary right now, but feels like -17F. Brrrrr I am going to brave going out in this to go to the Silk Road Spice store to buy more good spices to make Tumeric tea. :) It's delicious and warms the bones on a cold day like today. I am not a breakfast person. We usually have a big one on the weekends, but since my husbands major surgery 3 months ago, that's kind of gone away. My breakfast today consisted of one black coffee, followed by another cup of coffee with coffee flavoured whipped cream on top. ;) I'll probably make us an omelet when I get back from the store....See MoreSunday Breakfast Time
Comments (9)pudgeder and gardengal, you are so right. This is the same place I mentioned a while back that makes their jalapeno poppers in house. They have a man in the kitchen and all I've ever seen him do is remove the seeds from the peppers. He tosses the peppers into a bucket and when it's full, they prep a batch of poppers, but they don't put them into the fryer until an order is placed. Yum!...See MoreMarilyn Sue McClintock
