Apricot Financiers

Apricot Financiers – these cute little bite size cakes are yummy! – I browsed my cookbooks and found something I had all the ingredients for (only 4 ingredients!) These are perfect because they are not too sweet – the sweetness is the apricot – these are made with almond paste –

Tips: The recipe says 30-40 minutes – 30 burned them – the second batch I did for 18 and it still would have been best at about 15 but the good thing is I only did a few on second batch to figure out the time so only do a few to figure out your time Second: I used cup cake liners for first batch – hard to get out – stuck to liners – second batch I just sprayed the mini muffin tin – perfect – came out easily I halved the recipe as I only had 8 oz. almond paste and half made a lot

also the next time I make these (and I will) I will add a small piece of apricot to the bottom of each cup before pouring batter over – I used a pastry bag as it is just easier for me to control portions. Also I let this sit in fridge over night before baking – the recipe recommends a few hours or overnight

Cauliflower Pizza

DELICIOUS! this is my first time making a pizza without the bread crust; I followed Dr Berg’s video on youtube, and OMGoodness! I’m impressed! Next time, I’ll add salami; one thing I did different than Dr. Berg, was I used a pizza screen with the parchment, and I added herbs to the crust and to the top. My husband is going to be impressed

Special Fried Rice with Foo Yung

Perfect!  


 This dish is delicious!  My husband ate 4 bowls in one sitting!     I will make this again, and I will just scramble the foo yung part, and mix it into the rice.  Also, the Foo Yung recipe:  I did not add the salt – I did do pepper – I figured between all the other ingredients it did not need more salt and this was perfect for us.   I also had some leftover turkey cold cuts, so I chopped those up and included them with the ham and shrimp combination.

This book has so many recipes that look like every day staples I keep in the pantry.  I have marked several recipes I will be trying from this book.  
I also added chopped carrots with the peas
 I’m showing you a photo of this dish after following the instructions exactly – it is an ugly 1970’s looking dish.  I laughed and said, “Wow, that is so 70’s looking!”   I then chopped up the egg, and mixed it in.
