an apple a day, keeps the doctor away

Last year for christmas I made caramel apples - I know, I know its for Halloween treats, but I had just experimented making them a few days before the holidays and liked them so much I thought I'd share the sweetness with everyone.

During ordinary days when I crave for some sweet, tart treats I make caramel apples but slice them up and pop them in the fridge to cool - ready for snacking after I finished my chores.

Caramel Apples Slices

ingredients:

- 2 green apples

- lemon juice

- 2 to 3 tbsp milk

- 6 to 8 caramels

- chopped nuts

- chocolate morsels

how to:

- slice the apples and toss in lemon juice to prevent discoloration and arrange in a serving plate, set aside

- melt the milk and caramel in a bowl on top of a double boiler, add more milk or caramel depending on the consistency you want

- drizzle on top of sliced apples, top with chopped nuts and chocolate morsels. Chill until ready to serve

tart, sweet, crunchy and chocolately

what a sweet way to get your daily serving of fruit!

whole-y moley wheat bread!!!

I have been trying to master making bread using whole wheat flour, my first attempt was a complete failure even though I followed the recipe exactly. I don't know where I went wrong but the 'bread' didn't rise even after a couple of hours. I still went n to bake it and though it was edible to texture was not fluffy as shown in the you tube video tutorial but very dry and crumbly - almost like the puto seko of my childhood... I continued to search for recipes and finally decided on combining methods from 2 recipes - and it was a success! Whole Wheat Bread Loaf: ingredients: - 2 1/2 cup whole wheat flour - 1 cup plus 2 tbsp water - 1 tsp yeast - 2 t tbsp oil (I used olive oil) - 1/4 tsp salt how to: - bloom yeast in lukewarm water about 5-10 mins or until frothy - add half cup of flour, mix until combined and set aside for about 30 mins. The mixture will rise and be frothy - add the rest of the flour and mix just until combined, rest again for 30 mins - turn the dough ...
