Question: What’s the best way to prepare a delicious spiced pumpkin cheesecake that will impress your guests?

Introduction: Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe. <PIC> It was love at first bite with this spiced pumpkin cheesecake!  I was disappointed by all of the recipes out there that turned out flat, respectable-sized cheesecakes.  So I doubled up on pumpkin and cheese to create this epic, mile-high pumpkin cheesecake that is an absolute crowd pleaser!
This unusual dessert makes a great addition to any holiday dinner.  But once you try it, you'll be looking for any excuse to make it again! Step 1: Ingredients. <PIC>
		8-12 oz (225-350g) gingersnap cookies (depending on how much crust you like!)
		1/4 cup (57g) butter, melted (or slightly more if you're going full-hog on the crust)
		24 oz.. (680g) cream cheese, softened
		15 oz. (425g) pumpkin puree
		2/3 cup (75g) sugar
		4 eggs
		1 teaspoon vanilla
		1/4 cup (30g) flour
		Pinch of salt
		Freshly ground cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg to taste (I use 1/2 teaspoon each!)
		Optional: fresh ground pepper - I know it sounds weird, but it adds depth to the spice profile! Step 2: The Crust. <PIC> Preheat your oven to 350F (180C).
Using a food processor (or a mallet and a baggie - go for it!), turn your gingersnaps into crumbs!
Add butter to crumbs and process until well incorporated.  (If you're using the mallet method, you can use a fork for this part!)
I like to line just the bottom of a 9" springform pan with parchment, but that is optional.
Pat the crust mixture into your pan, covering just the bottom, or going up the sides as far as you dare!
If you're going full-crust, it's a good idea to par-bake your crust (meaning bake it before filling) for 5-10 minutes.  Step 3: The Filling. <PIC>
In a mixer or food processor, combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, sugar, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each until just incorporated.
Combine flour and spices and slowly add to the liquid mixture.
Pour mixture into crust. Step 4: Bake. <PIC>
Bake the pumpkin cheesecake for 80-90 minutes, until the center is almost set., and barely jiggles in the middle.
Use a knife to gently loosen the crust from the edge of the pan.
Allow cheesecake to cool before removing the rim of the pan.  Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
If you are traveling with the cheesecake, leave the pan in tact until ready to eat!
You're gonna love this one, I just know it!

Question: What’s the best way to prepare a hearty and flavorful Poor Man's No-Meat Lentil Chili?

Introduction: Poor Man's No-Meat Lentil Chili. <PIC>
          Don't get me wrong. I love meat. Probably more than you do. But unfortunately, meat is typically expensive and a pain to prepare.-Enter the lentil-
Lentils are amazing. Sorta like beans, they are super cheap when you buy them in bulk (~$1/lb or less). They also make a fantastic meat substitute. Cooked on their own, they don't really have a taste, but they will acquire the taste of whatever you cook them with. Green ones have a meaty texture, while red ones cook down into a refried beans texture. They are full of protein and lots of other stuff that I won't bore you with.
This is probably one of the easiest, most healthy, tastiest chilies you will ever eat. I've had people taste it and say they would pay money to eat it at a restaurant. The beauty of it too is that you can add literally whatever you want to it. This is just a framework.YOU WILL NEED
		1 cup each dry red and green lentils, rinsed
		1 can of diced tomatoes, or 1 large tomato, diced
		1/2 a can/jar of spaghetti sauce (any kind will do)
		1/2 cup chili powder
		3 cups water
		1 bouillon cube, chicken or beef works best
		Pepper to taste
		2 tbsp olive oil
This is the bare minimum required for the chili. OPTIONAL STUFF
		1-2 bell peppers, diced
		1 whole bunch of celery, diced
		Carrots, diced
		Spicy stuff (Aleppo pepper works very well for this)
		etc etc...
Now on to the good stuffs.
Dissolve bouillon cube in the water. In a large pot with a lid, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add in any veggies (unless you are using canned tomatoes, don't add those yet). Cook the veggies in the bottom of the pot for about 5 minutes. Add everything else to the pot. Stir until the chili powder is dissolved. Cover the pot and raise the heat to high. When the chili begins to boil, reduce heat to low (2-3 on the dial if you have one that goes to 9-10). Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let sit with the lid on for another 30 minutes.
This makes a lot of chili, at least enough for 5-6 large servings. It's much cheaper than buying canned chili, tastes better, and is way better for you. If you added spicy stuff, the longer you keep it, the hotter it will get. Leftovers last at least a week in the fridge, although you probably won't be able to make it last that long.
This is fantastic with scrambled eggs for breakfast, as a side dish, or as a main dish with some mozzarella on top. If you try this with anything I haven't listed added to it, please leave a comment and let me know how it turned out!


Question: After dissolving the bouillon cube in water for 'Poor Man's No-Meat Lentil Chili,' what is the next step to prepare the dish?

After dissolving the bouillon cube in the water for 'Poor Man's No-Meat Lentil Chili,' you should add olive oil to a large pot and heat it over medium heat. Then, if you're using fresh vegetables, add them to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes.<PIC>

Just follow these steps:Fill the ibrik or cup with water and bring the water to a boil. When the water boils, turn off the stove. If you are using a gas stove, just turn it off. If you have an electric stove, move the ibrik off the range for the moment. For each espresso sized cup, put a level teaspoon of coffee into the pot and stir. If you like sweet coffee, add the sugar before you add the coffee. You should get a nice coffee foam on the surface when you stir. Put the ibrik on top of the range and if you are using a gas stove turn on the low heat Now this is important: let the coffee boil once more very quickly. It will start to rise and spill out of the pot, so be quick in turning off the heat or removing it from the range if using an electric stove Pour the coffee into cups immediately Step 3: Serving. <PIC> Turkish coffee is usually served in ornate cups about the size of espresso cups. Often, a cube or sugar or other sweets are served with the coffee. Once the coffee is consumed, you can flip the cup over to get your fortune read. It's a typical pastime after drinking Turkish coffee!Enjoy!

Question: What is the best way to create flavorful pickled red beets at home?

Introduction: Pickled Red Beets. <PIC> This is an easy recipe for pickled red beets. Here I have used red beets grown in our own garden, hence the relatively small size, but you can also buy then in your local store. I serve them with meat or put them on sandwiches, and due to the preserving pickling liquid they keep until next years harvest! Step 1: Ingredients. <PIC> 1kg red beetsPickling liquid:6.5dl clear vinegar (7%)5dl water3dl sugar2ts caraway seedsAdd all ingredients to a pot and bring to a boil while stirring. The liquid is ready for use when the sugar is dissolved. Step 2: Sterilizing the Jars. <PIC> Bake clean glass jars at 115'C (240'F) for 10-15 minutes. Turn the heat off and leave the jars in the oven until you need them. The lids are covered in boiling water for a few minutes and then put aside. Be careful, they are hot! Rubber gloves are helpful. Try not to touch the inside of the glasses or lids after the sterilzation process. Step 3: Boil and Peel the Red Beets. <PIC> Remove the leaf stem and lower part of the root. Boil them until coocked. The time depend on the size of the beets, mine took approx 30 minutes. They are done when you can easily insert a knife through them. Remove the water and peel them while they are hot. While wearing rubber gloves for protection, squeeze the beet and the peel pops right off. This is so much easier than peeling them prior to boiling.IMPORTANT: These vegetables are rich in color. Be careful with where you put the beets and what you touch with your hands afterwards! Step 4: Cutting the Beets. <PIC> Cut the red beets into thin slices and put them into the jars. You can use a knife or just an egg slicer like me. The jar can be quite full. Step 5: Adding the Pickling Liquid. <PIC> Add the pickling liquid while it is hot until all the red beets in the jar are covered. Close the jar immidiately with the clean lids.Leave for two weeks for the flavours to develop. Store in a cold, dark place.Enjoy.

Question: What is the overall process for creating a delicious chicken bacon ranch wrap at home?

Introduction: Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap. <PIC> Here's a recipe for a tasty snack that's sure to fill you up. Our goal is to keep the cost of each wrap around or under $10.Here's a video tutorial for those that would like to follow along:https://youtu.be/mFrZ9FWULiw Step 1: Shopping. You're going to want to pick up a few ingredients.Required:Fully Cooked Chicken Breast StripsFully Cooked Bacon StripsShredded Cheddar CheeseRanch DressingTortilla WrapsOptional:Hot SauceHimalayan Pink SaltParsley (or your favored seasoning)LettuceBlack Pepper Step 2: Choppin' Block. First off, stack and cut your bacon into more manageable sized pieces. Effectively large bacon bits. If you want, nows the time to add the pink salt. If you do, it'll compliment the smokey flavor nicely, but don't overdo it or the bacon will become sweet as the flavor of the salt carries. Lightly microwave the bacon so the grease pulls the salt in.Next, cut your chicken into smaller pieces as well. We will be blending the two together later so you're going to want bite sized chunks.Your chicken will most likely be frozen so go ahead and thaw it with the microwave as well. Step 3: The Colonel Would Be Proud. Now that the bacon and chicken are chopped up, you're going to want to season the chicken. Mine was already lightly seasoned, but barely. I chose to go with a bit of parsley and ground black pepper, but lemon pepper would've been something I would've preferred to try. Add your seasoning as desired. Step 4: Sauce Boss. If you blend a bit of hot sauce in with Ranch Dressing you can make some real magic happen. All of the flavors of pepper and spice will come out, but the heat is reduced greatly by the taste of the ranch.We're going to pour the two into a bowl and blend them together with a spoon.Your aim will likely be a light pink color, so that the ranch isn't smothered by the hot sauce but equally the taste of the sauce can be detected under the ranch. Don't be afraid to tap a bit onto your finger and adjust your ratio as you stir. Step 5: Drizzle Yo Sizzle. Now that everything is ready, you're going to lay down your tortilla on a plate and stir your two meats together.It is optional to microwave your tortilla for a few seconds at a time to warm it and make it a bit easier to roll.Once you're ready, add your meat evenly across the tortilla, then sprinkle your cheese across as if you were making a burrito.Once these two layers are down, use your spoon to spread the sauce across the top and roll. Step 6: Snack Attack. <PIC> Now that your snack wrap is rolled and ready to go, you can either store it in the fridge and keep it for later, or you can pop it in the microwave for a few seconds.If and when you do the latter, you'll melt the cheese and fill in all the little gaps in between the chicken and the bacon. The amalgamation of flavors really is great.


Question: What specific steps should I follow to prepare the bacon and chicken for the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap?

To prepare the bacon and chicken for the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, first stack and cut the bacon into manageable pieces and lightly microwave it with pink salt if desired. Then, cut the thawed chicken into smaller, bite-sized pieces.


Question: What’s the best way to prepare delicious homemade sweet tea that’s perfectly balanced in sweetness?

Introduction: Homemade Sweet Tea. <PIC> Sweet tea is very easy to make and for some reason I don't do it nearly as often as I used to. Using a simple syrup instead of straight sugar seems to make it easier to control how sweet the tea becomes and mixes better. Baking soda is used to mellow out the flavor and it works great! Step 1: BoM. <PIC> TEA5-8 tea bags6 cups of water, boiled1/2-full jug of iceadditional 4-6 cups of cold waterpinch of baking sodaSUGAR3/4 cup sugar3/4 water Step 2: Simple Syrup. <PIC> I like sweet tea, but not hurt your teeth sweet. Make simple syrup by boiling a 1:1 water and sugar solution for about 5 minutes. Transfer the syrup into a safe container and set aside.  Step 3: Tea. <PIC> In the same pot, bring about 6 cups of water to a boil. When the water is boiling, remove the pot from heat and put in your tea bags and a pinch of baking soda. Allow the bags to steep for 5-7 minutes. When you remove the tea bags DO NOT wring the bags, this will cause your tea to become more bitter.  Step 4: Mix. <PIC> Mix the sugar syrup into the tea and then pour into a container that has been partially or completely filled with ice.  Step 5: Enjoy!. <PIC> Add more water (2-4 cups) to fill up the rest of your tea jug and stir. Drink ice cold


Question: When making 'Homemade Sweet Tea,' how long should you steep the tea bags, and what should you avoid doing to prevent bitterness?

When making 'Homemade Sweet Tea,' you should steep the tea bags for 5-7 minutes, and to prevent bitterness, make sure not to wring the bags after removing them.<PIC>


Question: What’s the best way to prepare delicious pizza dough using a bread machine?

Introduction: Bread Machine Pizza Dough. <PIC> All my friends ask me for the recipe and technique for my pizza dough, so here's the instructable! This is easiest with a bread machine, but you can certainly knead the dough by hand. Step 1: Get Your Ingredients!. <PIC> For a 2 pound lump of dough (good for 2 pizzas), you'll need these ingredients:3/4 teaspoon salt4 cups bread flour2 teaspoon active dry yeast1 1/2 cups beer (12 oz. bottle)1/4 cup olive oil1/2 tablespoon sugar Step 2: Warm the Beer. <PIC> Heat the beer in the microwave to a temperature of 100-110 degrees. Be careful, it can fizz and foam if you shake it or stir it too vigorously. Pour it in the bread maker pan. Step 3: Mix Ingredients. <PIC> Place all ingredients into bread machine pan. Insert pan securely into bread maker. Step 4: Run Dough Cycle on Bread Machine. <PIC> Close the lid on the bread machine, and plug it in. Depending on your model, select the Dough cycle. Press the Start button. The machine will begin to knead the dough. Keep an eye on it as you need to ensure that the dough is not too dry and not too wet. You SHOULD lift the lid occasionally in the first few minutes of the kneading process to check. If it is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time, waiting a minute or so after adding. If it is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time, waiting a minute or so after adding. The dough should stick to the sides a little bit, yet congeal into a moist ball and move around from time to time in the pan. Check out my YouTube video for the way it should look. Step 5: Shape Dough Into Pizza Crust and Bake. <PIC> Check out how that dough has risen! Let it touch the lid before you take it out, even if it takes longer than the dough cycle timer. I usually give it an extra hour, for a total time of 2 1/2 hours. The dough can now be turned out of the pan onto a floured surface and shaped into the pizza crust. Remember, this recipe makes enough dough for two pizzas. If you want, you can refrigerate the dough in a gallon sized Ziplock bag for a couple of hours up to a couple of days to make it a little less temperamental to work with. Have some fun pressing and shaping it into a pizza! Use a pizza stone if you have one. The crust will be crispier if you preheat the stone for 10 minutes at 450 degrees. Then, sprinkle a little corn meal, semolina, or flour on there, and finish shaping the pizza crust. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake your pizza for 10-15 minutes at 450 degrees. Cheese should be bubbly and have some very small little brown marks. Enjoy!

Question: What’s the delightful process for crafting cute miniature apples?

Introduction: Cute Miniature Apples. <PIC> Hi there, as a bonus project for my apple a day for a week collection (you can find here) I am deciding to make miniature apples.The process is fairly simple but it is long and requires patience.Read on to find out the process!If I won the formlabs contest, I would begin making useful pieces with the 3D printer.I have seen the printers before and I have a million ideas running through my head as to what I could make! Step 1: Get Your Stuff Ready.. <PIC> You are going to need a few things before you start.The list is as follows;Apple, green or red doesn't matter.Lemon, try for a medium lemon, you will not use all the juice.Peeler.Melon baller.Knife, I used a Ceramic knife to stop the browning.Toothpicks.Medium plate.Small bowl, the deeper the better.Breadboard.You will need all the above, if you don't have a knife the peeler can be used. Step 2: Prepare the Lemon.. <PIC> OK, you have all the equipment needed lets begin.Cut the lemon in half and juice it, it is alright if seeds fall into the juice.When you have juiced the lemon you need to pour it into the bowl and add about four drops of food coloring.Stir in the red food coloring with one of the toothpicks until it is evenly spread throughout the lemon juice. Step 3: Prepare the Apple (the Full Size One!). <PIC> OK, now we need to peel the apple.Make sure there is no skin still on any of the flesh of the apple.Do not discard the skin, instead put it aside; we will be using it to make the leaves for the apples.When the apple is peeled and the skin is set aside you can continue to the next step. Step 4: Leave Me Alone!. <PIC> Time to make the leaves!Start by taking the skin we set aside and cut the end at an angle like i the first photo.Next, cut it on the opposite angle to make half a diamond.We need to complete the diamond as shown in the third and fourth photos.When that is done you have your first leaf!Make as many leaves as apples. Step 5: Mini Apple Time.. <PIC> Now, we take the melon baller and press it into the flesh of the apple like shown in photo 1.Twist it in a scooping motion and cut out a small dome, it should be a semi circle but if the bottom edge isn't flat don't worry.Because of the density of the apple it is hard to get a perfect circle, it is also hard to cut it with the melon baller.Now with the two halves we need to put them together, they probably won't fit well due to the roundness of the apple, we need to trim a little bit off so it is a flat surface.After flattening out the edges we can put it together, take a toothpick and skewer it through the middle of the half spheres like shown in the third photo.By using the toothpick as a handle you need to dip the apple into the food coloring mix we made earlier, the apple will not be 'red' but most apples you see in shops aren't fully 'red'.After dipping we thread on the leaves and present them on the plate.If you don't like the idea of leaves you can leave them out. (no pun intended)The toothpick is needed to hold the apple together and it also doubles as a stem.Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it!


Question: What steps are involved in preparing the lemon for the 'Cute Miniature Apples' recipe?

Question: What is the process for crafting your own homemade smoked chili powder from fresh peppers?

Introduction: Homemade Smoked Chili Powder.. <PIC> I have been asked many times about my homemade spices. Here is the one that started them for me. I love to garden and enjoy growing peppers, but often have to many to eat fresh. I decided to start drying them by accident one time by a few of the hot ones drying up on there own. The smoked flavor came later after I decided to roast them over an open flame and let them sit for a few hours near the smoldering coals. Hickory I find to be the best, alongside hard maple. Step 1: Step One: Grow the Peppers. <PIC> Homemade and home grown here! Peppers in season are the best flavor, if you don't have a garden, do yourself a favor and find a farmers market or some place that brings them in fresh and in season. Step 2: Step 2: Roast Peppers Over Wood Fire Grill.. <PIC> You want to roast the peppers before you let them smoke. All varieties of peppers roast a little different. With meaty peppers like poblanos, Anaheim, jalapeÃ±o or bells (not recommended because they really don't add much for flavor) you want to turn the skin black but not char the meat. The thin walled hot peppers seem to go very quick and sometimes even completely dry out to a crisp in the smoke. You want to watch them and rotate as needed. As said before I like the hickory or hard maple the best for the smoke flavor. You see them here in my wood grill/ smoker. I like to keep one side as indirect heat so I have full control over the temp. Step 3: Step 3: Let Them Smoke.. Let the flames die down and smolder adding chunks (not chips) to the coals only as often as needed to keep it from going out. I find placing a large chunk on the coals will smoke for a good while before it starts to catch fire. You do want to watch for open flames and all peppers should be in an indirect heat zone. If you get flames spray them out with a spray bottle of water and close the lid quickly and the combo of water and smoke will choke out the flame. I watch it for about 2 hrs. I find this step to be good after having cooked a nice BBQ dinner and roasting an smoking while the wood grill is starting to wind down Step 4: Step 4: Dry Them.... <PIC> Hot peppers will dry on there own in a window, but meaty peppers need some help! I have used the oven set at 170F but it uses too much energy and 170 is a little too hot, but can work if that's all you have. I invested in a dehydrator last year and it has become one of my favorite kitchen appliances (riveted only by our vacuum sealer). I arrange them on trays and set the temp to 125F and it will take a few days. You want to make sure no part of the pepper is still mushy. Step 5: Step 5: Grind Them.. <PIC> I have a coffee grinder that I use only for spices. Break the pieces up small enough to fit in the grinder, keeping the seeds an removing the stems. Grind I to a fine powder, my grinder is cheap to say the least and I have to give it a few shakes along the way to help it grind. Every time I change a spice mixture I rinse the grinder and cover them grind rice to fully clean.  Step 6: Step 6: Store and Enjoy!. <PIC> To store them I have used ziplocks, washed and reused spice jars or store bought empty spice jars. I save the new jars for friends and family. There are so many uses for this spice, the smokey flavor an heat comes through ketchup, BBQ sauce, dips, salsas, chili... You name it.


Question: What is the best method to dry meaty peppers for making 'Homemade Smoked Chili Powder,' and what equipment do you recommend for optimal results?

The best method to dry meaty peppers for making 'Homemade Smoked Chili Powder' is to use a dehydrator set at 125F, which will take a few days. This ensures that no part of the pepper remains mushy.<PIC>

- yoghurt (plain)
- mayonnaise
- lemon juice
- vinegar
- salt
- black pepper
- mustard
- dill
Mix the solid ingredients gently, in a big bowl. Add the dressing and spoon it through. That's all.
The beets will give the salad a nice pink colour.
Works as a summer dinner, or as a lunch dish. Also nice for a picnic.

Question: What’s the best way to prepare a vibrant coconut lemongrass carrot chutney that highlights the sweetness of carrots?

Introduction: Coconut Lemongrass Carrot Chutney . <PIC> Many years ago, I feared food. I used to squirm at the thought of consuming anything I considered un-pure or unhealthy. For over a year, I put severe restrictions on my diet and basically only ate uncooked vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, which is a rather expensive and time-consuming lifestyle. I had to put several hours each day into planning, acquiring and preparing my meals.Carrots are one of the cheapest, easiest vegetables to acquire and I happen to be a big fan of those friendly, orange roots. I kind of lived off of them for a while, not really considering the consequences that might lurk in The Dark Side of Raw Foods. Due to the massive overdose of beta-carotene my body was receiving and the lack of starches to soak up the excess, my skin turned an extremely disturbing orange colour. I’m pretty sure I burned all the photos taken of me during my hairy hippie phase, so I have no orange hue to show you. Unfortunate… it was impressive.I might also add, that I had The Worst Gas Possible when I was eating raw foods. Even though it was over a decade ago, I still feel bad for the girl I drove cross-country with. I’m sure she felt like she was riding with a camel. Looking back on that time, I squirm so much more about orange skin and bad gas than tossing back a bit of snake soup, frog sashimi or random bug. I still love carrots, though. We have been through too much to let go of our relationship because of a skin tone set back. It was a little rude of them, but I let it go. The Chutney family is a rowdy group of condiments that hails from South India. They usually contain some mixture of spice(s), vegetable(s), and/or fruit(s) and there are many varieties. Chutneys may be either wet or dry, can have a coarse to a fine texture and can contain either fresh or pickled preparations. This little chutney is rockin'. The sweetness of the carrots, creamy smoothness of the coconut and tang of the lemon would make any mouth happy. Eat with some Dijon on toast, on the side of some grilled chicken or just spoon in your mouth. Step 1: Ingredients and Directions. <PIC> Ingredients4 cups grated carrot (about 3 carrots)½ cup grated coconut8-10 garlic gloves or scapes, chopped1 chili, finely chopped1 lemon, juiced1 tbsp finely chopped lemongrass¼ cup olive oilsalt and pepper to tasteDirectionsIn a fry pan, heat cooking oil and lightly brown the garlic, lemongrass and chilies.Mix all ingredients in a bowl.Consume immediately.

Question: What’s the best way to prepare a delicious caramelized garlic green bean salad with pomelo?

Introduction: Caramelized Garlic Green Bean Salad With Pomelo. <PIC> My mom gave me a pomelo and I wanted to figure out what to do with it.  I wanted a dish, so I found a recipe for green beans with pomelo.  The twist that really made this was when I caramelized the garlic before stir frying the green beans. OH MY GOSH!!! It's that good! And by the way, I, who have burned everything from water to frozen pizza, do believe that I am learning how to cook! Here is the video, paired with Asian Tacos... recipe coming shortly!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JlSTHdRC1k Step 1: Prepare the Pomelo. <PIC> Pomelo is a large, fleshy citrus with a hint of sweet grapefruit flavor. The flesh is dry to the touch. To prepare the pomelo, you are trying to remove the rind and the membranes leaving only the citrus flesh. Cut off the top until you expose the flesh. Remove the rind. At this point, you may choose to peel around the pomelo to cut off the majority of the membrane, or you may choose to section the pomelo and separate the membrane from the flesh. However you choose to do it, you want to end up with a bowl of pomelo flesh. Side note: There aren't many seeds in a pomelo! Step 2: Prepare the Green Beans and Garlic. <PIC> Wash the green beans and cut the ends off with a sharp knife.  Rinse again. Peel the garlic.  I used about 1/2 of a garlic flower. Step 3: Caramelize Garlic. <PIC> I used a cast iron pan.  It worked well. Heat the pan and add a small amount of olive oil.  I had two sugar packs from the coffeeshop, so I tossed those in.  One was white sugar, one was a light brown. Chop the garlic into little bits and toss into the pan. Stir everything constantly to avoid burning.  Browning is very good. Step 4: Add Green Beans. <PIC> Toss in the green beans and stir around, letting everything brown nicely, but avoiding burning. Step 5: Refridgerate All Items. Place the bowls with a/ green beans and garlic with pomelo into the fridge to cool down.  About an hour is fine. Step 6: Ready to Eat? Remove, Assemble, Serve!. <PIC> When you are ready to eat it, take the bowls out of the refrigerator, assemble the salad by placing the green beans with garlic in the serving bowls and top with small pomelo sections. Eat! Here is the video, paired with Asian Tacos... recipe coming shortly!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JlSTHdRC1k

Question: What is the best way to create a delicious boozy ice cream bread that combines sweetness and a touch of alcohol?

Step 4: Output. <PIC> after baking in the oven for 30min at 180degC, the heart warming aroma lingers in the kitchen. the smell of heated up johnnie walker gold label never fails to lighten up the hunger. we thought we felt in love with each other again, over the ice cream bread perhaps. but the reality is harsh.the ice cream bread -ish turns out to be the most densely packed gluten we ever had. a slice of it bounced off the wire rack, fall onto the plate and the force is so immense a crater was created.alright, she might be over exaggerating. the tasting notes as followsmell: boozy with a hint of vanilla from the ice creamtaste: mildly sweetness to the taste buds, spiciness from the johnnie walker gold labeltexture: dense, too dense to be classify as a bread nor a cake. she called it a brick, best for building a fortress with.well, fix it then she said. the ice cream bread -ish was sliced up, and pop into the oven at 180degC for 20min, turning over at the 10 min mark. we are now waiting for it to be cooled while writing this i'ble. if this doesn't work out, we shall offer it to the hawking birds. no, it doesn't work out. Yours truly is still suffering from a sore jaw. Step 5: Recommendations. perhaps we should strictly adhere to the ingredients list.perhaps they could share the "right" consistency, such that others would avoided blunders like ours.+ i have not found the 1 way that worked, but one of the 999999999999999 ways that failed. next up, increase the fat content by adding 50g of butter to the said ingredients and decrease the alcohol to 1teaspoon.

Now you are ready to actually start grilling.Place your aluminum foil pan on the bottom rack of the grill, pour the mushrooms along with their marinade onto the pan and let it cook. Next, add the chicken breast onto the top rack and cook thoroughly. Since the chicken breast are thin sliced, the cooking time will be shorter. Make sure to keep an eye on the mushrooms, because if the oil cooks off the balsamic will begin to reduce and form a thick caramel coating before starting to burn. Once the chicken and mushrooms are done, you can place them in the same large bowl and set aside.  With the grill still going, take the English muffins and toast them to your desired texture.Lastly cook up the Bearnaise sauce. I save this step for last because it cooks so fast and you must constantly stir it so it does not burn to the bottom of the pan. The package I used called for 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of butter ( I cut the butter down to 1/8th, and it was fine).  Mix all the ingredients and packet contents into a pan.  Bring mixture to a boil, while stirring constantly. Once it boils, remove from heat and continue to stir until it no longer wants to stick to the bottom of the pan.Now that everything is done cooking, it is time to build it! Step 3: The Build Up and Serve. <PIC> First place the English muffin on the bottom.  Add a slice of chicken, trimming it up a bit if  too large.  Next, add a few slices of avocado followed by a nice big slice of portabella mushroom.  Lastly, top it all off with Bearnaise sauce and enjoy!  This beautiful dish is a favorite in my house and leftovers are a rarity.  I hope everyone likes my Instructable and for more cooking ideas check out my other Instructables. Thanks!


Question: What is the process for grilling the chicken and mushrooms when making 'Chicken Bearnaise,' and what should I keep an eye on during cooking?

When making 'Chicken Bearnaise,' you should start by marinating the sliced chicken breast and mushrooms. The mushrooms are cooked in an aluminum foil pan on the bottom rack of the grill, while the chicken is placed on the top rack. It's important to monitor the mushrooms closely, as the oil can cook off, causing the balsamic to reduce and potentially burn if not watched carefully.<PIC>


Question: What is the best way to create delicious chocolates shaped like theobromine molecules?

Introduction: Chocolate Molecule Chocolate Mold. <PIC> I almost got a degree in Chemistry until I decided Design was a better fit. I wanted to get in touch with  my inner chemist, so I decided to make some theobromine shaped chocolates and show you how to make them too! Theobromine is a bitter alkaloid found in chocolate and other foods. It has the chemical formula C7H8N4O2. Materials you will need:Vacuum form machinePET (also known as PETE is a food safe plastic .04 or .02 thickness)chocolateoptional (chocolate toppings)double boiler (or pot and metal bowl)stovespatuladrillmaterial to laser cutLaser cutter (or other way to make original)Refrigerator Step 1: Preparing the Original. <PIC> The first step to creating our mold is making the original. (an original is the form that a mold is made from) I used a laser cutter to make mine so the first step will be creating a tool path for the laser cutter to follow. I made mine using Illustrator. The file is attached, feel free to use it or make up your own!Through experimentation I found the best way to make the part was to laser cut the molecule and base as two separate pieces. I used .125" thick acrylic for my original. Try to keep your material thin so it won't get stuck in the vacuum formed mold but thick enough that your chocolate won't break when you take it out of the mold.Once your parts are cut out and collected from the laser cutter glue the molecules onto the bases. Try to keep them as centered as possible. I used a plastic glue, some options include plastic weld and epoxy.After the parts have cured completely add draft angles onto the bases by sanding down the edges to about a 45 degree angle. This will help in releasing your part from the vacuum form mold.The final step to preparing your originals for molding is adding air vents to the interior details. The vacuum form machine works by pulling heated plastic onto the part through vacuum suction in the bed. In order to allow the air to pull plastic in the center of the original you need to build holes into your part that let air pass through the part. You can further aid the vacuum by raising the piece off the bed very slightly by placing the original on pennies.  Step 2: Vacuum Forming the Mold. <PIC> If you don't have access to a vacuum form machine here's an Instructable that shows you how to make your own.https://www.instructables.com/id/Vacuum-Forming-Rig/The first step to running the machine is turning it on and allowing the heaters to warm up. This may take a few minutes depending on your machine, plastic and environment. As the machine is warming the plastic, place your originals on the bed (you may want to put pennies underneath the parts to help get more suction on the part). Once the plastic has begun to sag a few inches it's ready to be pulled. Place the frame over the bed creating a seal and turn on the vacuum. This should pull the heated plastic onto the parts into all the details.Keep the vacuum running until the plastic has cooled a bit so it won't deform. Once the plastic is cooled a bit turn off the vacuum and pull the frame off the bed. If any of the originals are stuck in the mold push them out.Your mold is now ready to make chocolates! Step 3: Making . <PIC> First thing you will want to do is clean your mold. Although PET is food safe your originals might not be and the plastic may have picked up dirt on the vacuum form bed. Now gather your chocolate making supplieschocolate (I used chips but you can get melting chocolates)double boiler (or pot and metal bowl)spatulaculinary brush (optional)The chocolate moldSet up your double boiler. Or if you don't have one use a DIY double boiler like I did. Place a metal bowl inside a pot (make sure the bowl is big enough to create a seal it's important that water doesn't make it into the chocolate) Fill the pot with a few inches of water and place it on the stove at a LOW setting. It's important that you don't burn the chocolate so don't turn the heat too high and be sure to stir constantly. Once the chocolate is completely melted use the brush to paint a thin layer of chocolate into the molds. Try to get into all the details. (brushing isn't necessary but it will ensure that there are no air bubbles in the chocolate)Now fill the rest of the mold with chocolate using the spatula. Smooth out the tops and set them in the fridge to cool for about 15-20 minutes. Once they're solid pop them out of the molds and enjoy the theobromine goodness!


Question: What should you do after cutting out the parts for the 'Chocolate Molecule Chocolate Mold' from the laser cutter?

After your parts are cut out and collected from the laser cutter, you should glue the molecules onto the bases, ensuring they are as centered as possible. It's best to use plastic glue such as plastic weld or epoxy.<PIC>

Question: What is the process for making your own rice flour from raw ingredients?

Introduction: DIY- How to Make Rice Flour. <PIC>
          Rice flour is one of the foundation ingredients in gluten-free baking, but it's something I don't keep in my pantry.
I recently came across an interesting recipe that called for a single cup of superfine rice flour. I could have substituted with cake flour (which I do have in my pantry ;-) but I really wanted to keep the recipe authentic at it's base level.
Instead of driving 52 miles to buy a spendy 24oz. bag of Bob's Red Mill (yielding nearly 6 cups of rice flour that I might never use up), I decided to search the internet to see if it was feasible to make (copycat) the same rice flour myself... and it was!
Here's my easy (somewhat improved ;-) adaptation from Susan of India.Tools needed:
		Blender
		Fine-mesh Strainer
		Paper towels
		Large Skillet
		Heat-resistant Spatula
		SifterIngredients:
		White Basmati Rice- Raw (not instant rice)
		Water
Every cup of raw rice will yield almost 1 1/4 cups of sifted Rice Flour.Step 1:  Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold running water. Drain briefly.  Put the rice into a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 3 (minimum) to 6 (maximum) hours.Step 2:  Drain the rice in a fine-mesh strainer for 10-15 minutes.  Spread the rice out on a triple layer of paper towels to dry for an hour or so.  The rice should be just slightly damp... not wet.Step 3:  Use your blender to grind the rice in 1/2 cup increments. Begin with the pulse setting, allowing the rice to settle in between 3 second pulses. When the rice has broken down into small granules, blend on high until the texture is powder-fine. Repeat this process until all the rice has been finely ground.Step 4:  Heat a large skillet over medium heat.  Working in 1 cup increments, add the rice flour to the pan. Stir constantly until all of the steam has evaporated.  Continue cooking for a couple more minutes.Note: The resulting rice flour should be snow white.  If it begins to brown, immediately lift the pan up and lower the heat.
Test for doneness (dryness) by taking a pinch between your fingers. Properly dried flour will not stick together.
Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.Step 5:  Sift the rice flour.  Return any residual "clumps" back into your blender for reprocessing, then sift again.
Store refrigerated in an airtight container... or get cookin'... because now you have rice flour for that special recipe you've always wanted to try.
Thanks for stopping by!


Question: What is the recommended soaking time for rice when making rice flour, and why is this step necessary?

The recommended soaking time for rice when making rice flour is 3 hours minimum and 6 hours maximum. Soaking the rice is necessary because it prepares the rice for grinding into fine flour.<PIC>


Question: What are the key steps involved in creating a delicious key lime pie from scratch?

Introduction: Key Lime Pie. <PIC> Key lime pie, it is a nice sweet tart pie.  This recipe is a culmination of a few recipes I have used over the years. This key lime is a heavier type of pie.  It is more filling than it whipped type of pie, so more filling means if you are on a diet this one is not for you, but it is quite tasty. Step 1: The Ingredients. <PIC>
          What you need for the pie filling: (this is a double recipe since I use deep pie pans)
Two 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
		1 cup of key lime juice ( approximately 2 lbs of key limes)
		6 egg yolks
		Some blue food coloring (optional)
What you'll need for the crust:

		1 1/4 cup of graham cracker crumbs
		1/2 stick of unsalted butter
		2 tbsp sugar
What you would need for the toppings and garnishes:

		1 cup of heavy whipping cream
		1/4 cup of powdered sugar
		1/4 tsp of cream of tartar
		1 tsp of vanilla extract
		Lime slice (optional) Step 2: The Crust. <PIC>
          If you have never mad a gram cracker pie crust it is very easy to do.  All you have to do is:

		Melt the 1/2 stick of unsalted butter in the microwave.
		Add in the sugar and stir, it should distribute and dissolve fairly easy.
		Add in the gram cracker crumbs and mix.
		Pour the crust mixture into the pie pan and push it firmly up into the sides and into the bottom of the pan creating an even layer on all sides.
		Now place the pie crust into the pre-heated oven of 350ºF and bake for 10minutes, meanwhile it is baking we can mix up the pie filling, after it is done pull it and and we are ready fo the pie mixture to go in. Step 3: Key Lime Pie Filling. <PIC>
          For the key lime pie filling:

		Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
		In the same bowl the yolks are in add in the two 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, and mix untill the yolks are thourghly encorporated into the mixture.
		Now add in the key lime juice and mix again.
		Now you will have a very yellow key lime pie mixture.
		If you want you can add some blue food coloring to give the mixture a green tint.
		Now just pour the mixture into the cooked gram cracker crust.
A lot of people for some reason do not like yellow key lime pie not sure why, I am assuming that since most people associate limes with the color green they feel it should be green.  I have even gone so far as to bring two key lime pies to a party, one that was yellow and one that was green (ran out of coloring), told every one that they were the exact same pie and all of the green was eaten when the yellow still had over half left.  Step 4: Baking and Garnishing. <PIC>
          Now that the pie is baking in the 350ºF for 30 minutes we can make the garnish for the pie. after the pie is done baking it need to cool 30 minutes before it goes into the fridge.  It will be ready to eat in about 2-3 hours after that.
I like to make my own whipped cream instead of using the store bought stuff. I always make a little more then is needed just in case someone wants extra on their slice.
To make the whipped cream just:

		Beat the heavy whipping cream in a mixture on high for a few minutes and you will see it become light and fluffy.
		Add in the sugar, cream of tartar and vanilla extract while it is being whipped.
		Done
For the limes what I usually so is just slice them into thin circles cut and twist them and place them into the whipped cream dollops that I piped onto the slice right before serving the pie.
Enjoy

Question: What’s the best way to prepare a delicious vegetarian Snack Wrap like the ones from McDonald's?

Introduction: McDonald's Snack Wrap (Vegetarian!). <PIC> Have you ever tried a Snack Wrap from McDonalds? Have you wanted to try one but didn't because you're a vegetarian? Well, that's how I felt. My boyfriend sometimes gets them whenever he has to go into work and doesn't have time for a good meal. And in retrospect, they're not really un-healthy. All it is is chicken (in my case, vegetarian chik'n), lettuce, a dab of ranch dressing and a sprinkle of cheese all wrapped up in a tortilla. You could go healthier and use a whole wheat wrap instead of a tortilla as well. Yum! In order to make these, you'll need: 1 Tortilla (I used a small soft taco sized one, but a bigger one will work) 1 MorningStar Farms Chik Patty Handful of lettuce Handful of shredded cheese (I prefer sharp cheddar, or a Mexican blend) 1 plop of ranch dressing (I only like a little bit, use more if you want) I know these are pretty lame ways to measure, but it's really up to your preferences how much you use. Step 1: How to Make It. <PIC> First, you need to heat up one of Morning Star Farms chik'n patties. Throw it in the microwave and slap some numbers until it's heated. I heat mine for one minute and fifteen seconds. While that's heating, you can grab a tortilla or a wrap and put the rest of the ingredients inside. After your chik'n patty is done heating, go ahead and slice it into four pieces and place them in your tortilla. Now you're all done! Pretty easy, right? Serve it with some kind of side and you have yourself a meal! Oh gosh, they are so good. Hope you try them!
