5 star cookies cream puffs

She has been spotted yesterday leaving her New York house and caring the book.

The book was Malcolm Gladwell’s David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants.

Poor Kelly, she only makes 20 millions (apparently). And she is upset because her co-worker, Michael is leaving the show,  “Live with Kelly and Michael ” for Good Morning America.

And nobody told her …so she is hurt…

My question is: Do you think she will finish like “Successful  Cream Puff” or “Bad Cream Puff”.

For us, there is no dilemma. We will make successful “Cream Puffs”. If you follow the link below you will find the recipe for making Classic Cream Puffs

https://www.5starcookies.com/2016/04/22/kelly-ripa-michael-strahan-cream-puffs-part

Now, we are ready to make vanilla cream + some Nutella.

Use 1 cup heavy cream and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix on low, until combined.

Increase the speed and whisk until soft peaks form.

Cut puff horizontally, spoon some whipped cream, add some Nutella (optional) and top with more whipped cream.

Serve immediately.  LIKE NOW…AND ENJOY!

Almond Bars

5 star cookies-almond bars

I wanted to make something that is healthy, delicious and gluten free.

But do you know what is gluten?

Gluten is the protein component found in wheat, rye and barley. If our body can’t digest or break down the gluten protein we have a gluten allergy.

It can range from a mild sensitivity to full-blown celiac disease.

If you want complete control (even if you are not controlling freak), cooking from scratch is the easiest way to avoid gluten.

So, let’s start baking from scratch.

What ingredients do you need for Almond Bars?

-Apricot Jam

-Almond

-Sugar

-Rum

-Chocolate

Almond Bars

Almond Bars

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup apricot jam
  • 2 1/2 cups almond

Instructions

  1. Line 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment, waxed paper. (or Aluminum Foil)
  2. In a small saucepan warm the apricot jam until it is hot.
  3. In a food processor, grind together almond and sugar until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add the jam and rum (or vanilla) and process until smooth.

  6. Spread the dough into baking pan. Refrigerate for a few hours.
  7. Melt the chocolate and spread over the almond base.
  8. Refrigerate for an hour.

Because there are so many unfairly ifs send towards him and I know when it is all said and done, he will be the greatest the sport has ever seen.

Interview with Coconut Chocolate Square

I: Tell me about yourself?

CCS : “We are delicious, chocolaty, moist and loaded with coconut.”

I:Why should people make you?

“Because we are so easy to make and if you don’t have much time and you want to bake we are your best choice.”

I: Do you have any tip for us?

-Use a large wooden spoon to mix instead of an electric mixer

-Use fresh chocolate chips

-Chill the bars for easy cutting

-Store nuts in the freezer to retain freshness. Let them come to room temperature before using them in baking

-You can use almonds, peanuts, walnuts, pecans

-If you have nut allergies replace the almond extract with vanilla and omit almonds or any other nuts on top

I: Can you describe yourself using one word?

“SENSATIONAL!”

I: Do you think you can share one of your selfies with my readers?

Carrot Cake or When your boss is Bill Cosby

the best carrot cake from the best food blog 5starcookies-enjoy and share
the best carrot cake from the best food blog 5starcookies-enjoy and share

When I laugh with my friends I called him Bill Cosby and by him I I mean “psycho boss”.

You know the type: charming, controlling  freak, narcissists and masters of deception. One of my favorite explanation is the following

 Psychopaths operate from a warped moral code and experience little to no guilt or remorse over telling lies. These bosses are skilled at avoiding accountability and have a Teflon-like capability to deflect blame. They lie, omit information, rephrase the truth, and misrepresent facts. They take credit for ideas that they did not come up with.”

So, how many of you have this kind of experience every day in your life? And how do you deal with it?

For me I like to bake. Baking is the perfect escape from my cold reality. I can even create perfect little creatures in this fictional life and I can make them from anything I like…like ginger

and there you have it…perfect little ginger people with the big heart in the middle. (Reality, eat your heart out)

Ginger People
Ginger People

In this baking escape I like to make cake that my grandmother made for me every week when I was a child.

It is my favorite and the best cake ever – THE CARROT CAKE.

My grandmother used to make different version of her basic recipe. It can be with cheese or with chocolate icing.

There are so much memory connected to this cake and very often when I need something to “hold on” and forget “reality” I make this cake.

And it makes me smile. I love the color, I love the taste and I love to pretend that I am eating the healthiest cake ever made..The Carrot Cake.

And because of memory of my grandmother I like to share this recipe with you.

I know somewhere she is watching over me and saying: “Still your favorite cake…” Yes, grandma still my favorite cake.

Thank you for the  recipe…and the memory.

Now, I need to start making carrot cake. The version that I selected today is carrot cake with cheese frosting.

My grandmother used to make very special frosting with secret ingredients.

Her secret ingredients was apple sauce and strawberries.

You will find yourself making this cake all the time.

Quick and easy, it will become your family favorite!

For this recipe you need the usual ingredients: flour, sugar, oil, eggs, cinnamon, walnuts, cheese, apple sauce, strawberries, vanilla, baking soda and salt.

So, let’s make magic …the Carrot Cake

I never promise you a rose garden

 Or just read..

I never promise you a rose garden

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There’s gotta be a little rain some time
When you take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don’t find roses growin’ on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well if sweet-talkin’ you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter
So smile for a while and let’s be jolly
Love shouldn’t be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There’s gotta be a little rain some time

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that’s what it takes to hold you
I’d just as soon let you go
But there’s one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won’t always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I’m talkin’ about
So smile for a while and let’s be jolly
Love shouldn’t be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There’s gotta be a little rain some time,
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden

Coffee Crepe Cups – Part 2

Hello,

Let’s start making Coffee Crepe Cups. Before I start making them let’s talk about crepes. The word crepe is French for pancake and is derived from the Latin crispus meaning “curled”.

Crepes originated around the 12 century in Brittany, a region in the northwest of France. Crêpes are also common in other European nations, such as Italy, Poland, Romania, and Denmark, although they are known under different names.

In areas of Eastern Europe, the meal is called palacinka (Serbian,Czech, Slovenian). In Danish, it is Pandekage and in Dutch it is pannekoeken. There are two types of crepes:

  • Sweet
  • Savory

Now that we have a basic knowledge of crepes we can start making them.

This is my favorite recipe and it is the best one you can find on the Internet. I made million version of this recipe but today it is my coffee version.

(Does it look like Cappuccino?)

Coffee Crepes - Starting Point
Coffee Crepes Start

For this recipe we need the following ingredients: eggs, milk, coffee, flour, salt, oil, water.

Coffee Crepe Cups - Part 2

Coffee Crepe Cups - Part 2

Ingredients

  • 1 cup AP flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup coffee
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup H20 (water)
  • 1/8 tbs salt
  • 1 tbsp oil

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour and the eggs.
  2. Add milk, coffee, water, salt and oil.
  3. Beat until smooth.
  4. Let batter sit at least 15 min at room temperature or if you are not in a hurry you can refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 day, whisk before using.
  5. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium. Lightly coat with oil. Add 1/2 cup batter and swirl to completely cover bottom of skillet. Cook until underside of crepe is golden brown.
  6. Loosen edge of crepe with a rubber spatula or knife, and quickly flip. Cook 1 minute more.
  7. Turn crepe out onto plate.
  8. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet with oil and stacking crepes on plate.

Now, my friend you are ready for “Fancy Coffee Crepe Cup”.
