Homemade Ice cream

-
Who doesn't like Ice cream. I for one absolutely love it. Ice cream is something that every culture enjoys in one way or another. It's amazingly easy to make. Of course there are thousands of different flavored ice creams as well as different textured ones, even the more healthy soy or even yogurt ice creams. They all taste good to me. Especially on a hot summers day or as a yummy dessert. However you like your ice cream,enjoy your own homemade batch from scratch.
Here are two ice creams I made recently, one was 'cookie crumb lime' and the other was 'butter pecan' Here is the recipe

Cookie Crumble Lime Ice Cream

1 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1  1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup  lime juice ( cut about 3 limes in half and squeeze as much of the juices out as possible)
1/2 cup crumbled  (cookie or cake of your choice - A plain cake or cookie is best)

Take all of your ingredients ( except for the cookie crumble) and blend it all together in a blender until smooth. Then pour your ingredients into a big bowl and add in your crumble and mix it in with a spoon to be a bit chunky. Pour your entire mixture into a freezable container and let freeze for about 3 hours or overnight until firm. Then scoop out with your ice cream scoop and serve.


Butter Pecan Ice Cream

1 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon maple syrup (same one used for pancakes)
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Take your pecans and put them in a frying pan and on medium low heat shake around a bit and allow to cook slowly for about 4 minutes until  it is lightly browned and toasted.       ( Be Careful not to burn, overcooking it causes it to burn)

Take your heavy cream and place it into a big bowl and whip it on medium high speed for about 5 minutes until it becomes thick like whipped cream. Then in a separate bowl combine your condensed milk, toasted pecans, melted butter and maple syrup and mix well. Then take your whip cream mixture and lightly mix it in to your cream mixture with a spatula or a wooden spoon in a slow folding motion. It helps to keep it fluffy.

Pour your mixture into a freezable container and freeze for about 4 hours or overnight until firm. Scoop out and serve.

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. ...

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? 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.
