Peanut Butter!!!!

So, Me and my friends were at coffee culture one day and we got a slice of Reese's Pieces Pie. It was soooooo good!!!! I loved it so much that I thought I would try and make it myself. 

Now, I haven't actually tried my theoretical recipe yet. But I will A.S.A.P. 

On another note, I'm trying to decide wether I should keep this blog as a strictly cooking blog. It's not like anyone reads it, so it doesn't really matter. Maybe I'll start a second blog. 

Will write soon.

Potatoe Packets

Hello Dear Friends,

My dad makes these things called potato packets. They are really easy and taste great!

Per 1 Packet:

You Will Need:

2 cloves of garlic
1 good sized potato
1 medium sized carrot
1/4 of onion
tinfoil
basil leaves ( or some other seasoning)

Chop carrot into medium sized chunks. Slice potato. Slice onion into thick chunks. Mince garlic.

Grease sheet of tinfoil. Place carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic on sheet.

Sprinkle with basil leaves or salt and pepper. This adds a bit of flavour to the mixture.

Fold ends of sheet. Overlap the opposite ends, covering the mixture. Roll the original ends to seal the packet.

Barbecue for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.


There you go! I love this and I hope you will too!!!

Until next time,
Becca.

March Break

Wow.
So, I have not blogged in MONTHS, and to add onto that, I'm blogging about something I did WEEKS ago.

Over march Break, I went with my Grandma and Papa up to Ottawa to visit my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins. Julie and John are super cool!

My Uncle John is (in my opinion) an amazing chef. In the past couple days I was up there, he gave me the honor of cooking with him. We had some triumphs, and some fails, But it was a wicked experience.

Together we made: Lemon pasta (one of my favourites), Veal Melanaise (no idea how to spell it), Baugette (or tried to,anyways). Also, my relatives Chris, Heather, and Ainsley came over for dinner. Heather brought Pecan Squares from the White Water cookbook. I'm still looking for the recipe, but I will blog soon.

None of the things we made really had any exact recipe. John kind of just made them up. But hey! That's how you know you're a true chef!!

I am going to get the recipe from my grandma for lemon pasta. I will blog soon.

Bye!! <3

P.S. I am sorry this blog wasn't very good. I promise to post a recipe next time. Any Suggestions?

Butter Icing

Okay, I'm only posting this recipe so that if I say to ice anything with butter icing, you can reference this post. It's just easier.

Butter Icing

You Will Need:
1/4 cup of butter
2 cups of icing sugar
2 tablespoons of milk

Combine butter, icing sugar, and milk. It's best to mix with a blender or food processer.

If desired, flavour with artificial flavouring (peppermint flavouring, almond extract, e.c.t.)

You can also colour the icing with food dye.

Nut Squares

    I just wanted to say that I did indeed complete my Christmas baking goal: to make at least 6 different things. The last thing on my list was Nut Squares. I made them a couple times, but forgot to post the recipe. So here it is.

Nut Squares

You Will Need:
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup of brown sugar; firmly packed
1 cup of flour
2 beaten eggs
3/4 cup of brown sugar
3 heaping tblsp of cocoa
3 tblsp of flour
1/2 tsp of baking powder
pinch of salt
3/4 cup of chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 F
 Blend butter, firmly packed brown sugar, and 1 cup of flour. Press the mixture into a greased 8-inch
square pan.

Combine beaten eggs, brown sugar, cocoa, 2 tblsp of flour, baking powder, salt, and walnuts.
Spread over bottom mixture.

 Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until done.

When cool, cover with thin butter icing flavoured with 1 1/2 tsp of almond extract.
Sprinkle with sliced almonds.

Sadly, my family ate all the nut squares, so I did not get a picture for you. But, this also means that nut squares are a big hit in my house, and maybe in yours too!

Enjoy!
Becca.
