Easy recipes and cooking hacks right to your inbox. The dough itself is incredibly versatile. You can shape it into a ball, let it rise, then bake it in a preheated Dutch oven for a rustic orb of crusty, delicious peasant bread.
The dough itself could not be easier. You mix flour I prefer higher protein bread flour for extra chew, but AP will also work , yeast, salt, and room temperature water in a large bowl. In terms of kneading, there is none.
If you want to make two or more different kinds of pizza, carefully split the dough and place each portion in a smaller prepared pan, or make it all in one big pan, as I did.
Just let it rest in a draft-free place, oiled and covered for 20 minutes, then stretch it gently. Cover the dough again,and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
It should be a little puffy. Then top your pizza however you like. I usually make a few different flavors in one big sheet pan. Bake for minutes at degrees F as close to the bottom of the oven as possible. This will help ensure a crispy undercarriage.
Then just slice it up and put it on the table. I threw together a garlicky yogurt ranch salad with Persian cucumbers and the ripest, sweetest sungold tomatoes the supposed tomato hater ate at least 12 of them. Tags: baking , dinner , easy , focaccia , italian , no-knead , pizza , summer.
May I have another serving of kale, dearest Mother? I love its earthy depth of flavor! My daughter wouldn't be like the other kids I'd seen, slurping down blue Go-gurts and demanding the crusts of their Kraft singles grilled cheese be cut off.
She would have a refined palate and a natural love of roughage! Surely my years of experience as a food professional would pay off in dividends when my perfect little sweetheart started solids.
Your kids must eat so well! people say when they find out what I do for a living. How lucky are they to have a mom who can cook! They could if they wanted to , I joke. That option is available to them, I say, whilst stirring butter into yet another bowl of plain macaroni. Sure, I'll serve it with carrot sticks and apple slices with peanut butter, and maybe a few bites of each will be taken, but we all know what the real star of the plate is.
At this point, five-plus years into my child-feeding journey, I've accepted that things don't always go the way I want them to, and that taste expansion and flavor appreciation is a process, and that a healthy relationship with food and eating is more important than making sure they eat the recommended number of fruit and vegetable servings for their age group.
That, just because I cut produce into cute shapes and serve them with fun dips on brightly colored plates, they aren't guaranteed to be eaten, and that's okay because feeding kids is about more than fulfilling some quota of nutrients at every meal. It's about nourishing more than just their bellies.
We're trying to foster a good relationship to food and eating, here. It's slow-going, and progress ebbs and flows, but does come. Sometimes my kids only eat white foods, but sometimes--sometimes-- they ask to try a bite of the salad on my plate. They don't usually like it, but still, baby steps, as it were.
The one constant I know for sure is that making a big deal about what they are or aren't eating does more harm than good, so I've learned to keep my mouth shut and only high-five my husband stealthily under the table when one of them makes a comment about how much they love, "these yummy brown things," which I know for a fact are lentils.
These muffins, which feature fiber-packed oats and optional seeds, but also chocolate and brown sugar, the lattermost of which gives them a crisp, lightly caramelized exterior reminiscent of a chocolate chip-oatmeal cookie, are a staple in our house these days, and they nicely straddle the line of nutritious and exciting to a kid palate.
They're equally good tucked into lunchboxes as they are with coffee for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
I like to make these in small batches so we can eat them within a couple of days of baking, hence the 12 mini-muffin yield of this recipe, but they also freeze very well an can be re-warmed in the microwave or toaster oven, so feel free to double or even triple the recipe.
The batter comes together quickly, and, like most kids in their first year of life, takes two short naps--one for 10 minutes, to let the oats and milk get to know each other, and a second minute one, just before baking. This helps ensure the batter will rise nicely.
I like using mini muffin tins for this recipe, since I'm serving them to mini-eaters, and also because the increase in surface area results in very cookie-like muffins with a contrasting tender center, but feel free to bake them into 6 full-size muffins. You can, of course, use muffin liners, but I prefer to use cooking spray or butter, because it helps crisp the sides nicely which we don't normally want for a muffin, but which, for these, works.
T he muffin cups go into a super hot oven, which helps their tops puff up immediately, then the temp gets cranked back down to to finish cooking. When they come out of the oven, let them cool in the pan for just a minute or two. If you used butter or cooking spray in place of the muffin liners, they might need a little help from the sharp edge of a butter knife to loosen them.
You can also omit the chocolate altogether and switch up the flavor profile with other spices, like cardamom, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice. If you're nursing or want to make these for someone who is, add a couple of tablespoons of brewer's yeast powder and call them lactation muffins.
Or don't change a thing, and make them because they're delicious, which is, in my opinion, as good a reason as any. Tags: breakfast , chocolate , cookies , dessert , kid-friendly , kids , muffins , oatmeal , snack.

Now, on to vacation photos of someone you barely knew in high school! Yeah, yeah, I know. Back when it still felt like a cool clubhouse, where we seemingly conducted all business.
