The Shepard's Pie is a hearty and savory dish of cooked minced meat topped with mashed potato and baked or broiled. I love making this dish because it is  so good, warm, and comforting food, especially for fall and winter. My version of Shepard's Pie is vegetarian friendly so my loved one and vegetarian friends can enjoy it with me.    If you do not have or choose not to use Beyond Meat Ground Beef, use your favorite meat substitutes like pea protein, jackfruit, lentils, black beans, chickpeas, etc. And more mushrooms would be delicious!   If you are a meat eater/lover, no worry, just use ground meat instead of vegetarian meat. Also, use regular broth and milk. All is good. I respect everybody’s preference.   If you like to make this to vegan, skip parmesan cheese with vegan cheese or nutritional yeast   I hope you like my recipe when you try. If so, please let me know how yours turn out.  If you have any questions, please leave them in a comment box. ...

This no-knead artisan bread recipe needs very simple ingredients and requires no special tool.  This bread has the great golden crust and soft, flavorful interiors, and open crumb texture.  I like the original overnight method, which require the dough to rest 8 to 24 hours. The long proofing at room temperature does all the work to develop the flavor and structure of this bread if you choose to use the overnight method. The faster method requires just a short rise, like 2 hours and produce the bread with somewhat close crumb texture. It will be still very delicious. If you try, let me know how it turns out and which method you choose. Also, let me know if you have any questions or comments.  Also, try my other bread recipes from my channel!   ►  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnkDdHM5wRbjWhYWFLUVU6g  Ingredients: 3 cups (400 g) bread flour 1/4 teaspoon yeast, active dry or instant (1 g) 1 teaspoon salt (6 g) 1 1/2 cups (354 mL) room temperature water...

 Home-made jam taste better than store-bought jam. I find commercially made jam too sweet and sometime disturbing that the first ingredient of jam is typically sugar or something worse (e.g., high fructose corn syrup). This home-made jam does not have any added gelling agent or food preservatives. Also, it allows a jam maker (Us!) to customize in terms of putting a reasonable amount of sugar, selecting your favorite fruits, and adding holiday spices we love. Homemade gifts for the holiday season are some of my favorites to give and receive. I hope you will try my recipe and let me know how it goes.   SUBSCRIBE ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnkDdHM5wRbjWhYWFLUVU6g   Equipment ·         Canning jars ·         Heavy bottoms pan or pot ·         Canning tools   3- Piece Canning Kits: https://amzn.to/3hldOGy Canning Supplies Kit including a cook thermo...

An English muffin is a small, round, and flat bread from yeasted dough. What is great about an English muffin is that you do not need an oven. It is cooked/baked on griddle, skillet, or pan on the stovetop.  There is no need to turn on the oven in a hot day!!  You can also have it slow rise in a refrigerator overnight. Homemade English muffins are the best. Once you make this, there is no turning back to store-bought English muffins. I use vegan butter and almond milk. But your do not have to be. Full milk, even plain yogurt(not too thick one), regular butter would be fine.  If you try, let me know, let me know how it turns out.

I love tamales because they are so good, warm, and comforting food, especially for fall and winter. However, it requires a lot of work and time to do soaking, wrapping, stuffing, and steaming individual tamales.  In addition, it is very difficult to find tamales or tamale pie without animal-based meat and lard.   So, my alternative way of enjoying tamales is to make a tamale pie with the ingredients that are vegetarian friendly so my loved one and friends can enjoy it with me. I made this dish many times for my work and friend gathering. Even meat eaters love it!   If you do not have or choose not to use Beyond Meat Ground Beef, use your favorite meat substitutes like pea protein, jackfruit, lentils, black beans, chickpeas, etc. And more mushrooms would be delicious! If you are a meat eater, no worry, just use ground meat instead of vegetarian meat. All is good. I respect everybody’s preference.   I hope you like my recipe when you try. If so, please let me...

I like homemade focaccia. This no knead focaccia is super easy and so versatile.   You can dress it up with different ingredients or eat with dipping sauces of your choice. I also like to use this as a base for a Detroit-style pizza. If you prefer thicker focaccia, I recommend using the 9"x13" pan. When you try, please let me know how yours turns out in the comment section.     SUBSCRIBE ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnkDdHM5wRbjWhYWFLUVU6g   Ingredients • 500 grams or 4 cups all-purpose flour • 2 cups warm water • 7 grams or 1 packet   instant yeast • 1 teaspoon sugar(optional) • 2 teaspoons salt ( around 10 grams) • Extra virgin olive oil   Instructions • In a large bowl, add flour, salt, and yeast, and mix together • Pour water into the flour bowl and mix with a spatula.

This beer rye bread is one of my favorite bread recipes that requires no special tool and no-knead.   The long proofing at room temperature does all the work to develop the flavor and structure of this bread so I love making this bread when the weather and temperature are mild (not scolding hot).   What is great about this bread receipt is time, beer, and yeast do all the work for you to have this incredible rustic and crusty bread.   Once you make this, there is no turning back to store-bought so-called artisan rye bread. As for beer, I typically use IPA beer because that is what I like.   Select beer you like to drink. I think stronger the flavor of beer. It will bring the extra flavor and smell in your bread.
