Crepes

-

Crepes are a delicious and simple dessert. And it all requires very little ingredients to make. As I have mentioned I am traveling for about 2 weeks with my husband in Europe and the day I left. Before leaving I made a quick meal for a friend. But I was in a bit of a rush as I had lots to do. (This goes to show that you don't have to be a person who is home all day doing nothing in order to cook, some people think that cooking is so old - fashioned and that it's for people who are not that busy and can afford to take the time and effort in doing it. For Those who think like that. You could not be more wrong....)

As I had to cook a full course meal in a rush. I made it all in less than an hour. I made breaded tilapia, rice, buttered and sautéed green beans and sausage, another veggie and even had time to make this quick and easy dessert.

I chose to fill it with Dulce de Leche since it is what I had hanging around. But you can fill it with one of many things. There are crepes filled with whipped cream, some with jam, some with  melted or spreadable chocolate, Dulce de Leche or whatever else you choose. Make it unique...

 Crepes
1 cup water
1 cup flour
2 tsp sugar

    All you do is mix these 3 ingredients together. It will be a bit liquidy but that is fine. Then you make them just like you make pancakes.

  (i.e.After mixing it in a large bowl. Get a frying pan and spray a little butter on it and spoon a bit into the center of the frying pan. Let it cook on medium - low heat and after about 1 minute or until it gets light brown. Then flip it over and cook the other side.)  
   
Once that is done and whilst still warm. Put in your filling about a spoonful in the center and roll it up. Set it aside nicely onto a decorative plate and you are all done   :  )

I would have loved to decorate this on the plate nicely but since I was in a rush that was the only thing I did not have enough time to do.
Do yourself a favor, take action and actually cook instead of saying ' I wish I was a good cook.'

    Love it. That looks so good. I'm gonna make it soon. Question: with dulce de leche is it to sweet? Or is it a good sweet?

    I find it to be a good sweet. But the key is that I don't put so much or else it will overpower it.

    It is true that the pancakes are pretty easy to do. This is very useful when there is not much time! :D

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

-

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth.
