How To Make Corn Tortillas Step By Step
Today you will be learning step by step how to make "to die for" homemade white Corn Tortillas-pronounced (tor-tee-yas). This recipe comes from an old lady friend of mine that I met while living in Mexico over 30 years ago! She passed it on to me from her Great-Great Grandmother. These tortillas are the moistest, prettiest tortillas around and usually the other tortillas out there are cracked and dry. I can tell you that there has not been to this day a Tortilla that can ever compare to these ones, so please enjoy and share, share, and share!!!!

Second Macaron Encounter
Macarons. French or Italians? I'm not sure because it wasn't stated on the recipes that I used but I think they were French because the ratio of sugar was lower than the almonds. Macarons are usually baked goods that I much avoided because my partially frugal self that didn't want to pay the price for ground almonds. It's a dessert. Something that I deemed I can live without? Every time I walk down the confectionery aisle and see that packet of ground almonds, I'll just end up telling myself that it's not necessary and walk away. I have a vague memory of how my first try at macarons was but I think they were pretty pink successful macaron shells. I didn't manage to reach the part of making the filling because I didn't know or understand the admiration that people have for its beauty yet. At that time which was probably five years ago, I think I was just looking for something that I can bake with the least amount of ingredients and macarons popped out as the first few options from Google search.

Chocolate Mini Muffins With Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting
Chocolate mini muffins with cream cheese frosting Makes 16 This one was a fun one! The inspiration was actually my grandma, she has been having difficulty with her intake, she’s had some oral health issues and unfortunately her favorite foods are Reeses, ice cream and pizza...So not a lot of fiber. It’s hard to convince her to eat anything that isn’t sweet! She says, “I’m an old lady, I’m going to eat the things I like!”. So far she loves pita pizzas so I make her those and bring them, but it’s definitely not enough. Unsurprisingly, with very little fiber constipation has become an issue so we had to get a little creative on how to make sweets with some fiber content. (Luckily apart from pita pizzas, ice cream and Reeses lately she’s been willing to work with us and drink 2-3 Ensures /Boosts/ protein shakes per day, which helps with vitamins, minerals and protein but does nothing for the fiber issue!)

International Picnic Day
Thursday is a day like any other. Nothing too special – another day in the daily grind. Some love Thursday as they are only one more day away from the weekend. Many are indifferent to Thursday. It seems Thursday is the most underrated day of the week. Nothing out of the ordinary or special about it. And yet this Thursday is a rather special one as we celebrate International Picnic Day.

Baking from scratch 2.0
My first attempt at baking without recipe an going just off of feeling went so-so, half winning. I consider it a win still, as we did eat both the brownie and banana bread and were quite happy, even if it was not the tastiest of the tasty or mushiest of the mushy. I would have loved to see some more movement in the brownie and less density in the banana bread, but live and learn. I had some sort of basic feeling for what needs to go in them, and especially considering I had some very specific requirements to make it work, all in all I was pretty pleased with myself. But, as they say in Sweden, skam den som ger sig! Roughly translated to; shame on the person who gives up.

Trying my Hand at Viral Apple Pie Cinnamon Rolls
A few weeks ago a meme or photo or whatever you want to call it started circulating around social media. This is nothing new, there is some new viral something that makes it way into our social media bubbles just about every day, but this one was different. This one involved food, was fairly simple and was something that I knew both myself and my other half would enjoy.

What our Gardens Should Look Like After 2020
While we couldn’t have foreseen the exact circumstances that led to the current breakdown of society as we know it, I guess we all have been warned that this type of disaster could happen at any time.

Honey on Pizza, Salt on Watermelon and Chocolate Cover Potato Chips
Kids and pregnant women come up with the weirdest food combination. However, when kids do it, its a joke to see who could come up with the weirdest combination. In the seats of the cafeteria, they find themselves daring each other to try each new strange concoction. Some of them are pretty good, others are really really gross.
