The only thing I don't experiment with when it comes to cooking is dessert. Because even if it turned into crap, I'd eat it. Maybe I can try this recipe in a miniature portion, substituting Stevia for sugar, whole wheat flour for white and safflower oil (even olive?) for butter. Then using oats, walnuts and 85% dark chocolate. What do you think?
Hmm... I dunno. I'm more of a cook than a baker. So when baking, I tend to stick pretty closely to the recipe.
My concern with your plan is that, by using oil for butter, it might be too runny, unless you short it a bit. Also that whole wheat flour tends to make things quite a bit denser.
OTOH, there's a good amount of baking powder and soda in the recipe, to compensate for the lack of gluten in the mesquite flour. So maybe it would compensate for the density of the whole wheat flour.
I say, if you have the time and ingredients to spare, go for it! :D
Finished making the limoncello this morning. The inspection committee came by to check it out.

APPROVED! :wine:
There happens to be a little catnip in this batch. ;)
Along with lemon balm, and a little vanilla.
= Mellocello.
Cats ??? are you making Chinese food tonight ?
just kidding, sheesh ....
Sometimes I'm tempted -- especially with the one on the left. Not only is he pretty annoying, he's kind of fat ;)
Hey! Watch it. There's nothing wrong with being annoying and fat. It's...oooooh.....you meant the cat. Never mind.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one with this problem..... Meet the OfficailWSF mascot.:DQuote:

Since all the critters are so durn cute, how about regional mascots including Europe, Asia, etc.?
Those of you who follow the song of the day thread, already know this, but for the rest of you...I made this yesterday.
The reason I also put it here, is that y'all need to try this!
Dang, it was good!

Triple D Cheeseburger Soup
Description
Recipe
About As seen on Diner’s Drive-ins & Dives, recreated from the show Dive’s Worth the Drive (picture courtesy of Food Network
Yields: 6 servings
* 1 pound super lean ground beef
* 16 oz chicken stock
* 1 pints half and half
* 1/2 block of Velveeta, cubed
* 1 large onion, diced
* 3 T. butter
* 2 med tomatoes, chopped
* 2 cups Iceberg lettuce, chopped
* Salt & Pepper to taste
* 1/4 cup flour mixed with 3/4 cup water (for thickener)
In a Dutch oven, melt butter and sweat onion until translucent, remove. Add ground beef, season with salt & pepper and cook until browned and a bit crispy, drain. (Next time I will make actual patties and grill them to get more of a burger taste) remove from pan.
Add your chicken stock, & flour slurry, bring to boil scrapping bits off the bottom. Add half & half and Velveeta. Cook until all the cheese is melted, not boiling.
Season to taste and lower heat. Cover and cook for about an 1 hour. Add the tomatoes and lettuce, stir and serve. ENJOY!

This is super simple, and good too. Brown the sausauge remove from Dutch Oven(I used my 12" cast Iron skillet for this as I was cooking inside), Brown the hash browns in the sausage grease(My sausage was kinda' lean, so I had to add some Bacon grease)
Place the Hash browns in Bottom of Dutch oven.
Layer the sausage crumbles over the Hash Browns.
Whip the eggs with the water added and pour this over all.
Sprinkle the cheese over top of this in an even layer.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!!

Well my Dutch Oven is getting Broken in well. I cooked my 3rd or 4th Cobbler in it today, Blueberry this time. It is good But I think I need to reduce the juice more. Juicy but tastes GREAT. The wife is regretting getting it for me now, she said she is trying to lose weight but the stuff I've been cooking in it is just too good. I am really loving this piece of kitchen/camp equipment! I have cooked a "Hamburger Helper" One dish type of meal and a Mountain Man Breakfast in it so far. I've already asked for more Dutch Ovens!:nod: How did I EVER live without a Dutch Oven before???? I am planning on trying some bread and Chicken and Rice in the Very Near future!
Did anyone notice that Nell & Poco have the same signature?
I suppose when you hang out together for too long you start thinking alike. What's next...looking alike?
ahh yes, cobbler. I had a girlfriend that could make the best cobbler. I would pick a bucket of those awesome kentucky blackberries and she would whip up a cobbler. I miss her pa, ever once in awhile when I down that way I go visit him.
Oh goodness. I sure hope not.Quote:

Also keep in mind that you can put some stones or something in the bottom and use a pie plate or something similar and it works just like an oven.
I always wanted one big enough to do frozen pizza's. I recently lost my job and am low on propane so my dutch ovens are getting a real workout, everything from corndogs to chicken nuggets to chicken, roasts and stews. Thank god I have enough dead trees around here to burn cook fires forever if need be. If u ever need any tips or recipes don't be shy.
homemade chicken pot pie with homegrown chicken and homemade pie crust from homegrown rendered down lard.
in the dutch oven on the wood stove...um.um. make ya' wanna' slap your mama:)(an old southern saying BTW).
You haven't seen what I look like,have you???Quote:
