my secret recipes

YUM. I've made a similar taco dip but like with chili and melted cheese on top too.

I have gazillions of wonderful recipes, but they're top secret!

I make mine up, sorry

Oh but one great thing is infusing oil! It's the best!

Just get yourself some good quality olive oil, fresh rosemary and some garlic (not that shitty minced stuff in a jar, real garlic). Just squash the garlic with the side of a knife, add some rosemary (unchopped, just stick the sprigs right in there) and fill it with olive oil. Let it sit for a few days so it can take in the flavour and TADA! The best oil you will ever have.

If you put some in a small bowl and add a bit of balsamic vinegar and you have yourself the BEST BREAD DIP EVAH!! IT's great with bits of turkish bread.

You can really infuse it with anything. Chilli flakes is a good one.

I've never cooked in my life.

I LOVE this website.
Red Velvet Cupcakes Recipe With Picture - Joyofbaking.com *Tested Recipe*

Made these yesterday except used margarine, lemon juice/milk in place of buttermilk, and less food colouring. Put in like a tablespoon of coffee creamer in place of whipping cream for the icing, I don't know if it actually made a difference. There's plenty of google-able frosting recipes.




Also made some fabulous butternut squash soup a while ago but can't find the recipe. I'll try to remember:

1 butternut squash, cubed
2 tomatoes, diced
1 onion, diced
1 tsp (ish, or less) salt
2 tbsp to 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp oil
pepper
spices of your choice
boiling water - chicken stock or boullion cubes/salt
mozza or parmesan cheese

Cook tomatoes/salt/pepper/spices in oil for about 5 to 7 minutes, add squash and onions and cook until tender. Add boiling water (chicken stock or with boullion salt) so it's just about covering the veggies in the pot and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Could probably cover the pot for at least part of the simmering time.

Add vinegar and puree with a hand blender or normal blender or some sort of blending device. Top with cheese if you like. Yum!

I made some cookies earlier with this recipe.... mhmmm

The best choc chip cookies I have ever made were from a recipe given to me by an elderly neighbour when I was 8. Freaking amazing! But it's a secret, I can't tell you.

Energon treats(Barricade taught me how to make this. It's simple to make.)

You'll need

2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

2 tablespoons of edible glue(so the Rice Krispies stick together)

2 Energon cubes

Steps

Morph the Rice Krispies together using the glue and make sure it's the shape of a rectangle.

Then, use more glue and put a thin layer of Energon on the rice krispy rectangle. Top sides and bottom.

And you got an Energon treat.

Ohh I made this cake few days ago and I loved it but it requires a lot of patience and gentleness. I'll write a recipe tomorrow because it's too long.

Haha, my chocolate chip recipe is a secret too! I love secret recipes.

Secret recipes are the best!!

I can give you the sort of recipe for my lemon cookies, but I have never used actual measurements so it's sort of a guesstimate.

2 cups of flour
1 1/12 milk
3 cups sugar
2 cups lemon juice


Okay no I just pulled that out of my arse. You probably shouldn't do that.

Brownies in a coffee mug. (What an original name?)

In a regular sized coffee mug mix:

3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. (I usually put 31/2 though.)
2 tablespoons of white flour.
2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa.
A dash of salt.

Then mix in:
A few drops of vanilla extract.
2 tablespoons of water.
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. (Olive oil works fine too.)

If it's too clumpy, gradually add in water.

Optional stuff:
A dash of coffee mix.
A small handful of hot chocolate mix.
Some icing sugar.
A dash of cinnamon.

Mix with a teaspoon or another small spoon. (Don't use a whisk, whisks suck.)
Microwave for 60 to 75 seconds, depending on how powerful your microwave is.

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a splash of cream.

that looks like cancer in a cup....and yet i want one
