Slow Cooker Chicken Dumplings

2011-02-16T18:29:00.006-06:00

First time I tried chicken dumplings was at a Cracker Barrel in San Antonio. Nothing special at first glance, the color was just so plain and the taste was so so. My likeness for chicken dumplings grew over the years and nowadays I would take my kids to Cracker Barrel to eat chicken dumplings.

Thanks to Google, of course, recipes for chicken dumplings are not hard to find at all. Here is my version of it:

4 frozen chicken breast tenderloins
2 T butter
2 celery hearts, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
broccoli soup
cream of chicken soup
1/2 a package of refrigerated biscuit dough, torn to little pieces.

Put all ingredients (except for celery and biscuit) in a slow cooker, cook on high for 5 hours. The biscuit dough pieces goes into the mixture after 3 hours of cooking (make sure you push them in deep into the mixture so they are cooked), and the celery slices go in last, 1/2 hour before you turn off the crockpot.

Lemon pull-apart coffee cake

2011-02-15T08:59:00.009-06:00

Grated lemon and orange peels (tip: use firm lemon and orange, the harder the skin, the easier to grate)

This is the yeast I used (the whole package)

The rised dough, rolled out to about 12 x 20 inches.

Before final proofing. I put the dough in 2(two) 8 x 4 in. pans. sprayed with PAM.

After final proofing (left it in 70F room for about one hour)

Fresh from the oven

Final product

First time someone pinned the picture of this bread on pinterest. It just look too delicious to not try to find the recipe. The one I decided to try is from here by Brittany Elise.

My version is using a bread maker to make the dough. The only step I skip while making the dough is that I did not melt the butter before dumping it in the bread maker. I just made sure it was at room temperature.

Mexican Pulled Pork (Carnitas)

2011-02-02T20:37:00.000-06:00

I watched America's Test Kitchen the other day. They were featuring this carnitas recipe and decided to give it a try using a crockpot instead of braising it in the oven. You can eat it on a tortilla, served with sour cream, diced onions and cilantro. Or go my way: with sambal dabu2 & rice .. Mexicanado (Mexican Menado) style :).

About 3 pounds boneless pork butt cut into 2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 small onion, peeled and quartered
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano (do not use Italian or any other kind)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1.5 cups water
1 medium orange, halved and squeeze the juice out.

Put everything in the crockpot, set it low for 6 hours. Pull the meat apart with a fork to serve.

White chocolate almond stacks

Elements by Lie Fhung at ztampf.com

Recipe from "Family Circle" Magazine (Nov. 29, 2006 issue). Originally the recipe calls for green food coloring and green glace cherries but I replaced it with red food coloring and maraschino cherries.

Makes: 30 bars. Prep: 20 minutes. REFRIGERATE: overnight.

12 ounces white chocolate
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/2 t salt
1/2 t almond extract

6 large egs
1 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1/2 maraschino cherries, chopped
red liquid food coloring
1/4 c apple jelly
3 T heavy cream

1. Line two 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pans with nonstick foil, extending 2 inches over short ends.
2. Break up chocolate; in small bowl, microwave 6 ounces of the chocolate on HIGH for 1 minute; stir. Continue microwaving in 15-seconds intervals, stirring until melted.
3. Heat oven to 350 F. In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar, salt and almond extract until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, beat in flour until blended; you should have about 5 cups batter. Stir in melted white chocolate untl smooth, then chopped cherries. Spread half the batter into one pan. Tint remaining batter with food coloring and evenly spread into second pan.
4. Bake layers at 350 F for 18 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean. Transfer pans to wire racks; cool 10 minutes. Turn cakes out onto racks; remove foil; cool completely.
5. Place white layer on a baking sheet. Spread with apple jelly. Top with red layer. Cover with plastic wrap and place a baking sheet on top. Weigh down with cans to compress. Refrigerate overnight.
6. In small bowl, microwave remaining 6 ounces white chocolate and cream on HIGH for 1 minute; stir until melted. Remove wrap from layers; spread top with white chocolate mixture. Refrigerate, uncovered, 15 minutes. Trim edges. Cut crosswise in 10 strips, each about 1 inch wide. Cut each strip crosswise into thirds for a total of thirty 2.5 x 1-inch bars.

2007-01-23T20:05:00.000-06:00

Gue baru coba ini resep karena pas punya 3 pisang yang udah mateng banget hampir busuk. Wuih ternyata uenak.. biasanya bikin banana bread biasa.. yg ini bisa jadi kue yg dihias (pake cream cheese frosting). Yang sedikit ngerepotin, mesti grate chocolate dulu. But it's worth it. Banana campur coklat. Yum! Yum!

Recipe (from iChef.com):
2 c All purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
3/4 c bittersweet chocolate (I used four squares of valrhona bittersweet bar), grated
3 fully ripe bananas
1/4 c half-and-half
2 t vanilla extract
6 T unsalted butter at room temperature
2 T shortening
1 c ganulated sugar
2 eggs at room temperature

1. Butter or spray with non-stick spray a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan; set aside. Preheat oven to 325 F.
2. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Place the grated chocolate in a bowl and stir 1 t of the sifted mixture; set aside. Mash bananas in a bowl and stir in half-and-half and vanilla; set aside.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and shortening on moderate speed for 3 to 4 minutes. Raise speed to moderately high, add half of sugar and beat for 1 minute; add remaining sugar and beat 1 minute longer, scraping down sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in banana mixture on low speed. Fold in flour mixture just until particles of flour have been absorbed. Fold in chocolate.
4. Pour and scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 1:10 until risen, golden brown on top and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean and dry.
5. Cool on a rack for 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove from pan to cool right side up.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

2007-01-19T15:53:00.000-06:00

One of my most favorite cake ever is the upside down pineapple cake. I can only eat one slice of chocolate cake, but I can eat one whole pan of this sucker in one day. I love the melted butter taste, the sticky brown sugar and the soft texture of the cake. This has become one of my comfort foods.

Recipe:
1/4 c. butter
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 c. cake flour
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 can pineapple slices in syrup
maraschino cherries (as many as pineapple slices used)
Use an 8" square or round pan. Drain can of pineapple, saving the syrup.

Melt the butter in the microwave, don't overheat. Place in pan, spread on the bottom and sides.

Sprinkle brown sugar over melted butter. Arrange whole pineapple slices and cherries (with cherries in centers of pineapple slices) over the brown sugar in pan. Cut some of the remaining pineapple slices into half circles, then line the sides of the pan with them (standing up).

In a bowl, combine cake flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, softened butter, milk, egg, vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the pineapple syrup.

Pour batter into the pan being careful not to disturb the pineapples and cherries.

Bake at 375°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until cake is golden and has pulled away from the edges slightly.

Remove from oven and allow to stand for a few minutes to set and then turn it upside down onto a serving dish. Serve while still warm.

Ini bukan makanan.. eh ya bisa2 aja dimakan sih jadi es batu :P.. bikinnya pake air keran, food coloring dan cetakan silicon pan bentuk heart sama tempat telor. Gara2 liat si Susan (rissaniel.livejournal.com) bikin kemaren jadi ikut2an mumpung lagi having below zero temperature. Anak2 seneng banget bikinnya kemaren (langsung bikin di luar biar ngga ada acara tumpah2 di dalem rumah). Ngga sabar nunggu jadi...ngeliatin ke patio melulu. Abis ini kalo meleleh dijamin patio gw warna warni bekas food coloring.

Birthday cake - Barney

2007-01-17T09:33:00.000-06:00

Wuih nyari barang Barney disini susah banget ternyata. Udah barang langka. Ke Toys R Us, si mbak nya bilang: Barney? It's been two years since we last carry Barney. Hihi udah beneran extinct tu dinosaur. Akhirnya picks buat cupcakesnya nemu di ebay dan figurinesnya di Jewel bakery setelah keliling2 setengah hari. Namanya juga request jadi ya diusahain.

Big cake nya: Sacher Torte (thanks Anne) dikelilingin lady finger, iket pake pita, atasnya hias pake fondant. Tulisannya itu lilin (beli). Trus pas udah nyampe di tempat partynya baru ditambahin balon 3 biji di-iket (itu water balloonnya anak2), Barney dan Baby Bop. Tapi selai apricotnya gw pake-in rum, jadi utk anak2 cupcakes chocolate aja. Mereka seneng koq.. ga usah cake potong hehe. Sachernya hampir ludes ama ortu2.

Chocolatenya gue pake Valrhona 71% bittersweet:

Gw nyobain resep 'cheesecake mangga'-nya Dita. Thanks ya Dit. Ini udah yg kedua kalinya. Mangga2 yg gue dapet pertama (mangga Brazil) kurang berair dan warnanya kuning muda, pdhl manis. Jadinya: it's edible, tapi rasa cheesenya kurang, rasa mangganya juga kurang.

Masih penasaran kan... kemaren2 di Valli ketemu mangga lagi. Lupa liat yg kali ini mangga apa. Warnanya merah juga kayak yg pertama, tapi yg ini isinya lebih kuning, lebih berair. So kita coba lagi.

Ingredients, crustnya beli Keebler punya graham crust yg tinggal pake...

Baru jadi ni cheesecaknya, masih di atas countertop belom dimasukin kulkas. Belum tau yg ini rasanya spt. apa. Ntar kl udah dipotong gw cerita deh.. Besok ada kumpul2 kayaknya mau gw bawa, buat temen2 ngerasa-in :).

Dit, nanya donk.. cheesecake-mu atasnya dikasih apa biar jd jadi cantik dan mengkilat?
