Wesos, Thanks for tagging along, I have a maple fudge and a cookie & cream white fudge I'll rock out shortly for you. Ice cream... easy to add ingredients to med up ice cream, but that trick of leaving the texture and creaminess alone adding meds to the base, in lies the rub. I think with glycerin or a butter extract at small levels would work but the purest in me wants to leave the base alone, always tinkering

The sauce

Alfredo, loved and lusted for by all. Make a good alfredo sauce and watch the table light up licking the plates clean with every scrap of bread resorting to savage techniques when supplies dwindle. NO NO put that jar back on the shelf and walk away, it will be alright schwilly's got you...rop:

Now I use 2 different Alfredo sauces depending on what I'm making. I'll start with my wife's favorite and what I typically would make for a bake or for bread type stuff that needs that extra cheese love.


Alfredo Sauce

for dips and bakes

3 tablespoons sweet butter
2 tablespoons olive oil(for up to 4 people I use 1 med tb and 1 reg tb)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


Directions:

Melt butter and olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add cream, garlic, and white pepper; bring to just under a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until mixture is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
Stir Parmesan cheese into cream mixture and simmer until sauce is thickened and smooth, 8 to 10 minutes.

You can do 2 things here with the mozzarella, mix lightly on top and throw into the oven at 375 for 8-10 min for a delish dipping alfredo sauce for breads, ect... or for a thick sauce add mozzarella cheese to sauce; cook and stir until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Butter, olive oil, garlic melted add cream & pepper... bring up to boil then down to simmer a bit, add parm continue to simmer for about 10 min stirring often.

Here it is added as Alfredo sauce to pasta, I prefer this recipe for baking and dips as its quite thick and gooey, wife demands this one on everything though

 

[Schwilly]

My personal favorite and loved recipe for alfredo sauce in pastas and the like. A Italian mother approved sauce

First lets talk a little background... no not mine, the recipe's, the dish's, ect... The Music. Got to set that mood and energy for the creative art you are making. I tend to jump all over the place but love rocking the 60's, jam bands and movable beats that get you itching to slide around the kitchen. Today lets go with...

Wow Schwilly this is a fuckin awesome thread. Thank you so much for sharing all these great recipes with us. Let me guess...you have a sweet tooth..lol.
WELL....so do I The way you present everything on here is a breeze to follow too..well done amigo.
Ever think of writing a canna cookbook?

 

[Schwilly]

Thanks Budluver :smileyhug:
Maybe when I get this thread around 50 pages or so, but writing is really not my thing. I read a lot of food blogs and constantly find recipes I have to try then if I like them I'll medicate a round.

Sweets work so well with edibles because of dosing and shelf life but I do mostly make with dinners although I have been slacking with those recipes.

I have been working on a Bhang Recipe for a couple months now and a thai tea version, I'll be sure to throw those up when I work it out better as grinding fresh like Shiva is kind of a different taste.

Here is Bhang being made at a Holi festival in india.

I use 3 cups of fine mashed potatoes, 1 and a half cups of flour and 2 eggs with a pinch of salt and a splash of olive oil..makes them a bit less starchy with more potato..
thats my Mom's old recipe anyway..I like freezing them on a tray, that way I can cook em anytime I want..

man, you sure do know your sweets and your camera work is amazing..

 

[Schwilly]

Rosso, tried your mom's gnocchi recipe the other night, fantastic... Thank you

I'm in the middle of a long move and remodel, so the kitchen has been a bit torn up and populated with junk to get decent shots but will slowly get back to adding to these recipes

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

1.Mix the coconut oil, sugars, sour cream, greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.

2.Add the bananas and vanilla then give it a quick stir. (I put the banana's into the bowl and smoosh with a spoon before mixing again)

3.Next add the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and walnuts.

4.Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

5.Pour batter into a greased 9×13 cake pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes.(sweet spot for me 32-33)

Thanks Positivity, my wife has been hounding me for more of those banana brownies, I could swim in that glaze.

Most of what I cook has my wife in mind, very female friendly

I have heard and read the same... Its one of those things where I'm to frugal for my own good. Like every time I eat jello somewhere I'm thinking of horse parts in my head...

I do have a sweet tooth, but another advantage is you only take a taste... In theory...

Next one can be sugar free, besides natural sugars in the fruit

 

[Schwilly]

Have a simple yet delish snack for you today. The flavors can be changed up adding different fruits like blackberry ect and spices like cinnamon can really change it up nicely to keep it fresh and new.

One man's trash... What to do with the last bit of oil in a mason jar?

Many including myself would just wash it out and be done with it, not today my friends...

Crock pot Coconut Dulce de Leche

Lets take a history stroll going back to the Vedic origin story of the "churning of the sea"...

Here some of the gods living on earth when Indra, king of the gods and all of the three worlds, was a dick to rishi Duravas. In return Duravas cursed the gods and they began to weaken in strength letting the demons gain equal power as gods...

Seeking a cure, the weakening Gods with the help of Brahma go to Vishnu on the edge of the Ocean of Milk. Vishnu answers...

“Do now as I command: cast into the Milky Sea potent herbs, then take Mount Mandara for churning-stick, the serpent Vasuki for rope, and churn the Ocean for the dew of life [amrita]”

Proposing to make amrita, a sacred substance that bestows immortality and vigor, but the workload exceeded the weakened strength of the Gods, so they partner with the daityas (demons) promising equal share in the amrita...

1760s illustration of The Churning of the Milky Ocean - Depicted are the devas (gods, upholders of cosmic order; light) and the asuras (demons, disrupters of cosmic order; darkness) churning the Cosmic Ocean in a “tug-of-war” in order to obtain Amrita, the nectar of immortality.


As the Gods and Demons churn the Ocean of Milk, things start to appear out of the mixture... First to rise out was Surabhi, the wish-giving cow.

This went on until Poison rose out. Wanting to save the world Shiva grabbed the poison and drank it...

Choking Shiva turns blue...

At the dimmest of times for Shiva, choking on poison, Dhanwantari appears holding the vessel of amrita saving Shiva...

The appearance of the amrita had the demons wanting their cut, but Vishnu denies their request for the fair share starting a 12 day battle(or the 12 year war) between the gods and the demons...

Wanting to protect the Amrita the gods hide it in the mountains spilling a drop upon the ground. From this single drop upon the earth, a cannabis plant grows...

Later after a family argument, Shiva retreats to the himalayas laying in a field under a cannabis plant for shade... Awakening under the plant and taken by the beauty of the leaves Shiva crushes and eats it, making the first Bhang...

Taken by this, Shiva brings Bhang down from the mountain for all of mankind to use...

Shiva making Bhang

With these kind of origins its no wonder the Vedas thought Cannabis was one of the 5 sacred plants on earth and said to have guardian angels in its leaves...

Referred to as the "source of happiness", being a "joy-giver" and a "liberator" that was given to mankind to help "attain delight and lose fear", Cannabis holds high reverence even with the gods...
