Bake For The Cure with Fleishmann's Yeast!
Posted by Paulette Le Pore Motzko on January 6, 2012 at 12:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I swear by the Fleischmann's Rapid Rise yeast and I think it can make a professional baker out of anyone! Since using it, and also my friend Nancy Baggett's outstanding recipes in her "Kneadlessly Simple" book, I have made the best breads I have ever made in my life.
I love how Fleischmann's and the ACH Food Companies are donating $250,000.00 towards to "Bake For The Cure" with Susan G. Koman. It is a triple win: you get to bake some incredible bread, you pass around some of the bread you make, and money is raised for cancer awareness & research! Pretty cool, huh?

Whole Wheat & White Twist Breads

I could have sworn this recipe went up weeks ago, but since I couldn't find it on a search on the blog postings on the main page or in Bread Stars here it is folks!
This one is my favorite bread recipe to date. It uses Rapid Rise yeast and will come out perfectly, even if you have had difficulty making bread before.
I am going to make more today and give a few to my friends.
This one was adapted from one of my favorite Christmas books from Betty Crocker's "The New Christmas Cook Book".
I usually just make one recipe with…

Christmas and life in general is about giving and not receiving, it is about kindness over anger, love over hate.
If you treated people in that way all year long, we would have a pretty darn good world!

This site has more than just recipes but also decorating tips, inspirational stories, travel tips, and just plain "News You Can Use".
What are you doing for New Year's Eve?
Are you having a party? Why don't you share your amazing menu ideas here....I would love to see and the almost 160 members would love it too!
***********************
Here are some homemade colored sugar cubes I made in assorted colors in the wee hours of the morn, when I was moving all my baking pans from my cupboard to my baker's rack....I forgot I had them, and had found the recipe for them in the December 2011 Food Network Magazine- What a cool magazine it is too!

NOBODY EVER SAID GOOD FOOD AND GOOD COOKING HAD TO BE HARD TO BE GOOD, DID THEY?
SOMETIMES THE MOST SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE ARE REALLY THE BEST.
If you are a big fan of Food Wishes with Chef John as I am, you can see all of his great, funny, informative and insightful cooking videos at his YouTube page here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/foodwishes?feature=watch
Just thought I would share. Wait until you see some of these. Chef John always makes me smile, laugh, because he laughs at himself. I love the very informal way he does each video. He does what I hope to do, make good cooking accessible to everybody, no matter who you are or how old you are.

Pozole with Roasted Chicken, Red Potatoes, Green Beans & Roasted Red Pepper
Created by Paulette Motzko
Copyright November 2011
Four 32 oz. boxes Kendale Farm Chicken Broth with No MSG
Fresh Green Beans, Frozen Green Beans or Canned-2 cups or more
Up to 2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cabbage-halved and then sliced in quarters
2 teaspoons of Savory Spice Shop Mexican Adobo Seasoning
2 Roma tomatoes coarsely chopped
One 3 pound chicken roasted with extra virgin olive oil or canola oil brushed on the skin with a silicone basting brush. Then sprinkle with Team Sweet Mama’s BBQ Seasoning from Savory Spice Shop.
2 to 3 cups of hominy that has been drained from the can-Teasdale make a great one.
4 cups water
½ teaspoon of Better Than Store Bought Chicken Base
This couldn’t be easier and it is a great thing to make when you are at home doing laundry or doing office work at your desk as I do.
Put all ingredients in a large stock pot-VERY LARGE one-or Caldero, that you can find in many Latin American markets for hardly a small dent in your pocket book.
A HELPFUL NOTE:
Check out Latin American markets in your area or at least a well-stocked market like Jon’s Marketplace, if you are lucky enough to live by one, or another family owned market. I guarantee you will get lower prices, better quality and no gimmicks like silly cards that you punch to get a low price! I want to tell the big major grocery stores that do that, that those cards cost money and with all that you guys spend on them you could have offered low prices without the card!
Vary this recipe and let it be a “Springboard For Your Imagination©”
IN a large pot add one whole cabbage and cover with chicken broth. Add your choice of vegetables from onion, peppers, cooked potatoes and then add other seasonings to your liking of garlic, cumin, and even a cup of mild salsa would be awesome in this!

Have a delicious day or night…better yet just have a great DAY!
