Food Review #11 Hodgson Mill Buckwheat Pancake Mix

Hodgson Mill Buckwheat Pancake Mix is great. I use it very often(that's right I use pancake mix). But I usually do not use mixes for food but, this mix I do. It is easy to make and delicious! Plus it's very healthy because it has buckwheat and whole wheat flour. Which are very good for your health. I love to have these made in a cast iron griddle, topped with organic maple syrup(I like many kinds of maple syrup, I love Vermont's maple syrup). But they're great any way you serve them. I highly reccomend these. And kids love them too! Overall Hodgson Mill Buckwheat Pancake Mix gets a 10! Because these taste delicious, are very healthy, and are a great breakfast, and are great for an Irish breakfast, or a Sunday brunch!

Food Of The Week: Pancakes

Mmm, breakfast. Many say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I agree. I love breakfast and it's one of my favorite meals; whether you have eggs & bacon, or oatmeal, you are having breakfast. There are many things that I love to have for breakfast, but the pancake tops them all. I love pancakes, they are similar to french toast, and their more fancier cousin, the waffle. Pancakes have many names such as flapjacks, griddlecakes, batter cakes, and other names. There are many different variations of pancakes around the world, and food that is like a pancake. There are a lot of different types of pancakes here are some of the main varieties, buttermilk, buckwheat, chocolate chip, blueberry, and much more. The American pancake was invented in the 1600's by Dutch settlers. The most common topping for pancakes is maple syrup, although a lot of people use "breakfast syrup", I do not. Why? Because, I'm used to maple syrup, and like the taste better; plus maple syrup is all natural. Maple syrup was also featured as one of our previous Food Of The Weeks. Buckwheat pancakes are my favorite type of pancakes, they taste great and are really healthy too. Plus most kids love them. Overall pancakes are delicious, and one of the best foods mankind ever invented.

Triple Chocolate Brownies

Mmm chocolate. These brownies don't only have 1 type of chocolate, they have 3! The bittersweet, semisweet, and white chocolates. They are delicous; and a sure crowd pleaser. If you like chocolate then you will like this. Here's the recipe for these delicious triple chocolate brownies.

Triple Chocolate Brownies: 

Cooktime: 25 minutes Yield: 18 brownies

Ingredients

• 3 sticks plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 12 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate
• 6 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups superfine sugar
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup white chocolate buttons, chips, or morsels
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate buttons, chips or morsels
• Approximately 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar, for garnish
• Special equipment: Baking tin (approximately 11 1/4 inches by 9 inches by 2 inches), sides and base lined with baking parchment.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C.

Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a large heavy based pan over a low heat.
In a bowl or large measuring jug, beat the eggs together with the superfine sugar and vanilla extract.

Allow the chocolate mixture to cool a little, then add the egg and sugar mixture and beat well. Fold in the flour and salt. Then stir in the white chocolate buttons or chips, and the semisweet chocolate buttons or chips. Beat to combine then scrape and pour the brownie mixture into the prepared tin.

Bake for about 25 minutes. You can see when the brownies are ready because the top dries to a slightly paler brown speckle, while the middle remains dark, dense and gooey. Even with such a big batch you do need to keep checking on it: the difference between gooey brownies and dry ones is only a few minutes. Remember, too, that they will continue to cook as they cool.

To serve, cut into squares while still warm and pile up on a large plate, sprinkling with confectioners' sugar pushed with a teaspoon through a small sieve

Food Of The Week: Chocolate

Chocolate is delicious. To some, chocolate is considered the food of the gods. There are many different types of chocolate including, bars, cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, white chocolate(which has no cocoa solids only cocoa butter.), milk chocolate, dark chocolate(which is high in antioxidants.),  chocolate chips, baking chocolate, and many other kinds. There are also M&M's which are candy coated pieces of chocolate. On many holidays there is chocolate given such, on Easter chocolate eggs and bunnies are given(and of many other candies as well.), on Hanukkah chocolate coins are sometimes given with Jewish religious symbols such as the menorah and dreidel, on Christmas Santa Claus, snowmen, reindeer, and other Christmas symbols are given as chocolates, and on Valentine's Day boxes of chocolates, usually in heart shaped boxes, and heart shaped chocolates are given, it is also given for other holidays as well. Chocolate is also used to make beverages such as chocolate milk, hot chocolate, and chocolate milkshakes. Chocolate is a very useful thing and most people love it, including me. There are also many things that are made with chocolate like chocolate lava cake, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate donuts, chocolate muffins, and so much more. Here are some recipes for some baked goods.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

:makes 3 dozen 2 and a half inch cookies

12 tablespoons butter(A stick and a half of butter)

1 and a 1/4 cups of light brown sugar(firmly packed)

1/4 cups Lyle's Golden Syrup or Steen's Pure Cane Syrup

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 large egg

2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

2 cups semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C.

Beat the butter, light brown sugar, and golden syrup/can syrup together until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, baking powder, salt, and baking soda, and then mix in the egg. Beat well. Beat in the flour, then stir in the chocolate chips. Drop cookie dough by the rounded teaspoon onto lightly greased or parchment-lined sheet pans. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, just until lightly browned at the edges. For the chewiest cookies, do not over bake. The cookies will look slightly underdone in the middle, but will set up as they cool. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely( although if you do not have one just let the cookies cool on the pan or a plate.) To maintain the chewiest texture, store in an airtight container with a slice of apple or a sugar softener. These are great with a glass of milk!

Chocolate Lava Cake

Makes: 1 9-inch cake, 12 servings, or 16 small cakes

Milk Chocolate Lava Truffle:                                            Cake:

2/3 cup milk chocolate finely chopped                   2/3 cup semisweet                            2 tablespoons heavy cream                                   chocolate, chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons softened butter           8 tablespoons(1 stick) of butter

                                                                       4 large eggs, separated

                                                                                     2/3 cup sugar

                                                                     1/4 natural cocoa, sifted

                                                                 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

                                                                                1/4 teaspoon salt

                                                Sifted confectioners' sugar for dusting

For the chocolate lava truffle filling:

In a heatproof bowl, combine the milk chocolate, crean, and butter. Place over an inchof simmering water and melt, stirring, until the mixture is smooth (or melt slowly, stirring regulary, in the microwave). Remove the bowl from heat and set aside.

If you're making the 9-inch cake, take a 7-inch plate (salad or dessert size) and spray it with nonstick spray. Pour the melted chocolate onto the plate and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.

If your making the small cakes, put the bowl in the fridge and stir every 5 minutes until the mixture becomes thick. Scoop individual truffles out of the bowl (you'll need 16) with a teaspoon, cookie scoop, or melon balled. Put the scooped truffles on a plate and refrigerate.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F or 160/170 degrees C.

For The Cake( this applies to both the 9-inch and the 16 small cakes): Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, or in the microwave. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted, then remove from heat and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/3 cup of the sugar until they're thick, lemon-colored, and fall in a ribbon from the beater. Add the sifted cocoa, vanilla, and salt to the egg mixture, stirring until combined. Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining 1/3 cup sugar to soft peaks. Fold these gently into the chocolate mixture, one third at a time, taking care not to deflate the whites. It's okay if some streaks of white remain when the batter is poured into the pan. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the batter.

For the 9-inch cake: Pour the rest of the batter into a greased 9-inch cake pan. Bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Peel the hardened chocolate lava truffle mixture from the plate and place it in the center of the cake, pressing very gently. Cover the truffle completely, sealing it inside the cake, with the 1 and a 1/2 cups of reserved batter. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 25 minutes , until the cake pulls from the edge of the pan and the top looks set. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 20 minutes. Put a plate on top of the cake pan, then flip everything over to invert the cake. Dust the top with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.

For The Small Cake: Pour the batter into 16 greased well in 2 muffin pans, filling the wells to 1/2 inch below the top. Bake the cake in a preheated 300 degrees F/ 150 degrees C for 15 minutes; remove from the oven and place one truffle in each cup, pushing them down until they're flush with the top of the cake. Cover the holes with a heaping tablespoon of the reserved batter. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until the cakes have risen and fallen back down again. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack for 20 minutes to set up before taking the cakes out of the pans. You can serve the cakes, with raspberry sauce or whipped cream, at this point. Or cool the cakes completely, wrap them well, and reheat them before serving, in a microwave on medium power for 45 seconds, or in a 300 degrees F/ 150 degrees C oven for 3 minutes.

Food Review #8 Annie's Homegrown Organic Whole Wheat Shells & White Cheddar

Annie's Homegrown Organic Whole Wheat Shells & White

Cheddar are delicious! I've been eating them for years; they are a regular on the dinner table. They have a great sauce, and are very cheesy. They are USDA certified organic, and only use organic white cheddar cheese. And are whole wheat. And they are easy to make too! And kids love then! Our team of taste testers(that's right we have and always use a team of taste testers) really loved these as well.

Food Review #7 Mountain Dew Throwback

Mountain Dew Throwback is a soda by Pepsi-Cola, that was 
launched in the summer of 2009 and is still available. Mountain Dew Throwback is sweetened with natural sugar and no H.C.F.S( High Fructose Corn Syrup). Although it is not completely natural; it has a great taste. That I imagine would be even better if all the ingredients were natural. It does have natural ingredients though; and the flavors are natural and artificial, which is better than just artificial. Mountain Dew Throwback is a vast improvement of Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew Throwback would pair well with many different things. And has a full bodied flavor, and is very fizzy. Overall Mountain Dew Throwback gets a 7, because it has great taste, is sweetened with real sugar, but is not all natural.

Food Review #6 Kashi TLC Country Cheddar Crackers

Kashi TLC Country Cheddar Crackers are cheese crackers. They are a nice size; but aren't very cheesy. I found that these crackers weren't that great and were pretty mediocore, compared to other crackers such as Annie's Homegrown Cheddar Bunnies, which were in one of the latest food reviews. I don't recomend these crackers unless if you can't find your favorite type. I only buy them when I can't find Annie's Homegrown Cheddar Bunnies, which I love! Overall Kashi TLC Country Cheddar Crackers, don't taste like they have TLC in them, but are good to have if you can't get other types(like my favorite Annie's Homegrown Cheddar Bunnies.) So these crackers get a 7, because they aren't very cheesy, but they are ok when you can't find other kinds.

Annie's Homegrown Cocoa & Vanilla Bunnies Cereal are a breakfast cereal. With Whole Grain, Calcium, Vitamin D, 9 other vitamins and minerals, no Cholesterol, 0 Trans & Saturated fat, and have no GM ingredients: they are super healthy. But they aren't just healthy, they're also delicious! The chocolate and vanilla flavors go so well together; they are one of the best cereals I've ever tasted! They are great with some lowfat milk( I like organic milk best but regular is good too as long as their is no rBGH, or rBST.) You can also eat this as a snack too with no milk, which is also good. I often it this cereal for breakfast, because it sort of tastes like a dessert like vanilla and chocolate marbled cake(which one of my favorite types of cakes). It is also very portable, just get a plastic bag, put it in it, zip it up, and your ready to go.

Food Of The Week: Nachos



Loaded nachos, also know as supreme nachos.




My favorite way to have to have nachos

with Tostito Natural Yellow Corn Tortillia Chips,
melted cheddar cheese and pickled jalepenos.

I love nachos. They are a Mexican and a Tex-Mex food. They are loved all over the world, and aren't that difficult to make. People like their nachos different ways, some people like them baked with melted cheese with jalapeno peppers(one of my favorite ways), some people like them with a nacho cheese sauce, some people like them with Cheese Whiz(which is not natural), some people like nachos supreme/loaded (which I sometimes may like), and some people even like dessert nachos. Nachos were first created in 1943 by   Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, the original nachos consisted of fried corn tortillas covered with melted cheddar cheese and pickled jalapeño peppers. There is even The International Day of the Nacho which is celebrated in the US and Mexico in honor of Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya. In Memphis, Tennessee they have barbecue nachos, which have barbecued pork should, on top of tortilla chips, covered is melted cheddar cheese, slathered with barbecue sauce, topped with sliced jalapenos. In Hawaii, kalua pork nachos are served at a lot of restaurants, which have kalua pork, which is on top of a bed of tortilla chips, then covered with melted cheddar cheese, and have various differentiating toppings. Overall nachos are loved around the world, are great, quick, easy, and delicious. Whether you like them with whiz or you like supreme(also known as loaded)

Memphis BBQ nachos.











Dessert nachos.
