I love brewing coffee with my AeroPress, but I'm spending Christmas at my mother-in-law's with my wife's family. We all LOVE coffee, so we need to brew it with the Gevalia Coffee Machine that comes with the house. This technique works with any coffee machine, but if you want to buy this particular machine it has been discontinued. Feel free to check out the link below if you're interested in your own personal coffee machine. Check out my amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/influence... Ingredients: 10 cups of water 9 tablespoons of ground coffee 1 pinch of salt (optional) Moisten filter paper before adding coffee grounds Make sure the filter cup fits properly into the machine Turn the machine on, and you'll have great coffee in about 5 minutes. Whoever said, "Real men don't eat quiche" never tried these! They are the perfect size, perfectly flaky, and personalized perfection. (Let me explain.) The beauty of the mini quiche is that you can very easily accommodate different eating styles. Is someone gluten free? No problem...make fewer crusts. How about a vegetarian? Just make sure to load them up on veggie ingredients and skip the meat. There are even options for possibly picky preschoolers......ham and cheese only. So this is a great dish for groups with different eating preferences. It could work as a breakfast or brunch, but the quiches also work as a fun appetizer as they doesn't require any utensils. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was thanks to a ready made pie crust, and they turned out wonderfully flaky. The only labor intensive part was chopping up the toppings, but that's where you get the rest of your family involved. Kids would enjoy helping cut out the circles for the crusts too. So get your whole family together for brunch this Christmas and give them something they definitely won't want to return! Merry Christmas. Ingredients: Pie crusts cut into 4 inch circles 4 eggs 1 cup whole milk Ham Broccoli Green Pepper Tomatoes Cheese Mix eggs with milk until creamy Fit pie crusts into muffin tins Add ingredients in any combination you like Pour egg mix Top with choice of cheeses: I used Cheddar and Pepperjack Bake at 375 °F fro 25 to 30 minutes Cocadas is a popular Latin American dessert made mainly of shredded coconut, eggs, and sweetened condensed milk. It's an easy dessert to make when your sweet tooth is aching for something new. You can garnish it with almonds or pecans for some added substance. Ingredients: 2 2/3 cup shredded coconut 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk 1 egg 1/4 teaspoon almond extract Put 1 teaspoon sized balls onto parchment paper Bake at 325 °F for 25 to 30 minutes Cooking rice in a rice cooker is easy and fast. Very little work is needed, and the results are near perfect every single time. You don't even need to check your rice if it's done! The machine turns itself off automatically! If you are an avid rice eater, then this is MUST to have in your home. I'll put a link where you can buy one below, as well as a link to my Amazon Store for more things you may like for your kitchen needs. Rice Cooker Link: http://amzn.to/2ALf93u Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/influence... Directions... Pour 1 to 1 1/2 cups of Jasmine rice into your rice cooker Fill with water With finger tip at top level of rice, fill water to your 1st knuckle Press the "Cook" button Rice will cook in 15 minutes, and the machine will turn off automatically Serve hot and enjoy! This creamy chocolate makes for a great dipping sauce or cake topping if you cool it down then whip it. Chocolate ganache seems like it would be difficult to make, but it's actually VERY simple. All you need is bittersweet chocolate, cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt! The proper way to make ganache is to boil some cream and then pour it onto your chocolate chips, but we went the easy way and used a microwave. Ingredients: 1/2 cup chocolate chips (bitter sweet or semi-sweet) 1/3 cup heavy cream 1 pinch of salt Microwave for 1-2 minutes 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Mix and enjoy! |
