Creamy Homemade Ice Cream: Just 4 Ingredients!
Creamy Homemade Ice Cream: Just 4 Ingredients!

Craving a classic, smooth, and delicious ice cream without any fancy equipment? This incredibly easy homemade ice cream recipe uses just four simple ingredients and requires no ice cream maker! Get ready to whip up a batch of pure creamy goodness that will have everyone asking for seconds.

(Yields: Approximately 1 quart) (Prep time: 5 minutes) (Freeze time: At least 6 hours)

Ingredients:
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream (500g): This is the key to a rich and creamy ice cream. Make sure it’s well-chilled for the best results when whipping.
- 9 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk (250g): Sweetened condensed milk provides sweetness and a unique texture that helps create a smooth, no-churn ice cream.¹
  
  1. 2 Ingredient Ice Cream (No Churner Required) – Mon Mack Food
  
  monmackfood.com
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract: Enhances the classic vanilla flavor of the ice cream. Use good quality vanilla extract for the best taste.
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Milk (Whole milk or 2% recommended): A small amount of milk helps to slightly thin the mixture, making it easier to fold and contributes to the final creamy texture. Adjust the amount based on the thickness of your whipped cream and condensed milk.
Equipment:
- Large mixing bowl (preferably chilled)
- Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
- Rubber spatula or whisk
- Freezer-safe container with a lid (loaf pan, airtight container, etc.)
Instructions:
1. Whip the Cream: Pour the heavy whipping cream into your chilled mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to beat the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This means the cream holds its shape when the beaters are lifted. Be careful not to over-whip, which can turn the cream into butter.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk.
3. Gently Fold: Gradually add the condensed milk mixture to the whipped cream, folding it in gently with a rubber spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; gentle folding will maintain the airy texture. If the mixture seems very thick, add the remaining tablespoon of milk and fold again until smooth.
4. Transfer to Container: Pour the ice cream mixture into your freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the ice cream, followed by the lid. This helps prevent ice crystals from forming.
5. Freeze: Freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the ice cream is solid.
6. Serve: When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop. Enjoy your delicious homemade ice cream!
Tips and Variations:
- Chill Everything: For the best volume when whipping the cream, make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are chilled beforehand. You can place them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before starting.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing after adding the condensed milk can deflate the whipped cream, resulting in a less airy ice cream. Fold gently until just combined.
- Adjust Sweetness: While the condensed milk provides the primary sweetness, you can adjust it slightly to your preference. However, keep in mind that it also contributes to the texture.
- Flavor Variations: This basic recipe is a fantastic starting point for creating other flavors! Here are some ideas:
  - Chocolate Ice Cream: Whisk in ¼ to ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder along with the condensed milk. You can also add chocolate chips at the end.
  - Strawberry Ice Cream: Fold in about 1 cup of mashed or finely chopped fresh strawberries (or frozen, thawed and drained) at the end. For a more intense flavor, you can lightly cook the strawberries with a little sugar to make a sauce and then cool it before folding in.
  - Coffee Ice Cream: Dissolve 2-3 tablespoons of instant coffee granules in a teaspoon of hot water and let it cool. Stir this into the condensed milk mixture.
  - Mint Chocolate Chip: Add ½ teaspoon of mint extract along with the vanilla and fold in ½ cup of mini chocolate chips at the end.
  - Oreo Ice Cream: Gently fold in about 1 cup of crushed Oreo cookies at the end.
  - Nutty Ice Cream: Fold in ½ to 1 cup of your favorite chopped nuts (toasted for extra flavor) at the end.
- Storage: Store your homemade ice cream in a tightly sealed freezer-safe container for up to two weeks.
Enjoy the simplicity and deliciousness of this homemade ice cream recipe! It’s a perfect treat for any occasion and a fun way to get creative with flavors. Let me know what variations you try!

Red pepper flakes: For an extra touch of heat.
Fresh basil leaves: Add a fresh and aromatic garnish after baking.
Equipment:

Large skillet or Dutch oven
Cutting board
Sharp knife
Measuring cups and spoons
Oven-safe bowls or a baking dish
Instructions:

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables (8-10 minutes)

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the chopped green bell peppers and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are slightly tender and the mushrooms have released their moisture and started to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 2: Brown the Meat (5-7 minutes)

Add the ground beef or ground turkey to the skillet with the vegetables.
Use a spoon or spatula to break the meat into crumbles.
Cook the meat until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
Step 3: Add the Pizza Sauce and Seasonings (2-3 minutes)

Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the meat and vegetable mixture. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Pour in the tomato sauce, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 4: Assemble the Pizza Bowls (5 minutes)

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Divide the meat and sauce mixture evenly among four oven-safe bowls or transfer the entire mixture to a baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of each bowl or the baking dish.
Add your desired optional toppings over the cheese.
Step 5: Bake Until Cheesy and Bubbly (10-15 minutes)

Place the bowls or baking dish in the preheated oven.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. The sauce should be heated through and the toppings should be cooked to your liking.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Carefully remove the hot pizza bowls from the oven.
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious and satisfying Low Carb Crustless Pizza Bowl!
Tips and Variations:

Customize Your Toppings: The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. Feel free to swap out the vegetables and meat for your personal favorites.
Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce or include some diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Use Different Cheeses: Experiment with other cheeses like provolone, cheddar, or a blend of Italian cheeses.
Make it Vegetarian: Substitute the ground meat with crumbled firm tofu, sautéed lentils, or a plant-based ground meat substitute. Add extra vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, or bell peppers.
Add Creaminess: For an extra creamy texture, stir in a tablespoon or two of cream cheese or heavy cream into the sauce before topping with cheese.
Make it Ahead: You can prepare the meat and sauce mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to bake, simply reheat the mixture, top with cheese and desired toppings, and bake as directed.
Individual Servings: Using individual oven-safe bowls makes portion control easy and allows everyone to customize their own pizza bowl.

Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos: A Flavor Fiesta!

Get ready for a taste explosion with these creamy, satisfying Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos! Tender chicken, smooth avocado, melty cheese, and a zesty Ranch dressing come together in a warm tortilla for a quick and easy meal that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or even meal prepping. With minimal prep and customizable ingredients, these burritos are sure to become a new family favorite.

(Yields: 4 burritos)
(Prep time: 10 minutes)
(Cook time: 5 minutes (optional grilling))

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced: You can use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience, bake or poach chicken breasts and shred them, or even use seasoned grilled chicken.
2 ripe avocados, diced: Creamy avocado adds richness and healthy fats to the filling. Make sure your avocados are ripe but still firm enough to dice.
1 cup shredded cheese: Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or a Mexican blend all work wonderfully. Choose your favorite for the perfect cheesy pull.
½ cup Ranch dressing: A creamy and tangy Ranch dressing ties all the flavors together. Use your favorite store-bought brand or try making a homemade version for an extra touch.
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, herbaceous note that complements the other ingredients. Adjust the amount to your preference.
½ teaspoon garlic powder: Garlic powder provides a subtle savory depth to the filling.
½ teaspoon salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the filling. Adjust to your taste.
¼ teaspoon black pepper: Adds a touch of spice. Adjust to your taste.
For the Burritos:

4 large flour tortillas: Look for burrito-sized tortillas (around 10-12 inches in diameter) that are soft and pliable for easy rolling.
Optional for Grilling:

1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray: For a golden and slightly crispy exterior.
Equipment:

Large mixing bowl
Cutting board
Sharp knife
Measuring cups and spoons
Skillet or grill pan (optional)
Spatula (optional)
Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Filling (10 minutes)

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken, diced ripe avocados, shredded cheese, Ranch dressing, chopped fresh cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gently stir all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the chicken and avocado are evenly coated with the Ranch dressing and cheese. Be careful not to mash the avocado too much; you want to maintain some texture.
Taste the filling and adjust the seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder) according to your preference. You might want to add a little more Ranch dressing for extra creaminess or more cilantro for a brighter flavor.
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas (2 minutes)

Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and prevents them from tearing when you roll the burritos. You have a few options for warming them:
Microwave: Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds per tortilla, or until softened.
Skillet: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 10-15 seconds per side, until softened and slightly puffed. Be careful not to overheat them, or they will become crispy.
Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap the tortillas in foil and bake for about 5-10 minutes, or until softened.
Step 3: Assemble the Burritos (5 minutes)

Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spoon an equal amount of the chicken and avocado filling (approximately ½ cup) down the center of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches of space on the sides.
Fold in the two sides of the tortilla towards the center over the filling.
Starting from the bottom edge closest to you, tightly roll the tortilla up and over the filling until you reach the opposite edge.
If desired, you can tuck the edge of the tortilla underneath the burrito to help seal it.
Repeat steps 1-5 with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 4: Optional Grilling for a Golden Finish (5 minutes)

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with olive oil or spray with cooking spray.
Place the assembled burritos seam-side down in the hot skillet or grill pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and slightly crispy. This step adds a wonderful texture and a touch of extra flavor.
Remove the grilled burritos from the skillet and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

Serve the Chicken Avocado Ranch Burritos warm. You can enjoy them as is or with your favorite toppings and sides.
Tips and Variations:

Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for a little heat. You can also use a spicy Ranch dressing or include some diced jalapeños.
Add More Veggies: Incorporate other vegetables like diced bell peppers, corn, black beans, or chopped green onions for added flavor and nutrition. Sauté the bell peppers and corn lightly before adding them to the filling.
Make it Vegetarian: Substitute the chicken with seasoned black beans, crumbled tofu, or sautéed mushrooms for a delicious vegetarian option.
Different Cheeses: Experiment with different types of cheese like pepper jack for a spicy kick or provolone for a milder, meltier texture.
Homemade Ranch Dressing: For an extra special touch, try making your own Ranch dressing. There are many easy recipes online that allow you to customize the flavors to your liking.
Add Some Lime: A squeeze of fresh lime juice into the filling can add a bright and zesty flavor.
Meal Prep Friendly: These burritos are great for meal prepping! Assemble them (without grilling if desired), wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then foil, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and1 then warm them in a skillet, oven, or microwave.

Air Fryer Sausage Rolls
Air Fryer Sausage rolls are so easy to make! They have a crispy, flakey puff pastry coating encasing juicy tender sausages. With only 4 ingredients these simple sausage rolls are delicious.

Ingredients

The ingredients needed for the recipe are all simple and easy to find at the local shops.

They are set out in the photo below so you can see exactly what you need.

As you can see, the recipe calls for:
- sausages (beef, pork, chicken or vegetarian)
- puff pastry
- eggs
- sesame seeds
Instructions

Here are the step by step instructions to make the recipe. The method is quick and easy. We start by preparing our sausages. You will find a chopping board handy to begin with.
- Remove casing from the sausages
- Place on thawed pastry
- Add egg to a small bowl
- Pierce with a fork and whisk
You only need 1 egg for approximately 12 sausage rolls.

If using very small eggs, you may need 2.
- Roll pastry around sausage
- Brush with egg
- Roll to close
- Use a knife to cut the excess pastry of the ends
You may find you brush the pastry twice as you roll and seal each long sausage.

The sausage roll will likely bit a bit shorter than the length of the pastry, so cut the excess off where the sausage finishes.
- Cut the excess pastry of each end
- Brush long sausage roll with egg
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds
- Cut into small sausage rolls
You will get 4 sausage rolls out of one standard length sausage.

In the photo above left, you can see what your sausage rolls will look like before you cook them.

Detailed Coffee Smoothie Recipe

Detailed Coffee Smoothie Recipe
This recipe builds upon the simple ingredient list provided in the image to create a well-balanced and flavorful coffee smoothie. We’ll explore each ingredient in detail, discuss preparation steps, offer helpful tips for customization, and even suggest some exciting variations to try.

Yields: 1 serving
Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

1 ripe banana: The banana forms the creamy base of our smoothie, providing natural sweetness and a smooth texture. Ripe bananas, those with brown spots, are ideal as they are sweeter and blend more easily.
¾ cup brewed coffee, cooled: Coffee is the star of the show, adding that energizing kick and rich flavor. Make sure your coffee is completely cooled before blending to prevent the smoothie from becoming warm and potentially affecting the texture. You can use any type of brewed coffee you prefer – drip, French press, pour-over, or even leftover coffee from the morning.
¼ cup milk: Milk adds liquid and creaminess to the smoothie. You have a wide range of options here to suit your dietary preferences:
Dairy milk: Whole milk will provide the richest flavor and creamiest texture, but 2% or skim milk will also work well.
Non-dairy milk: Almond milk offers a slightly nutty flavor, oat milk contributes a creamy and slightly sweet taste, soy milk provides a neutral flavor and good protein content, and coconut milk (the beverage kind, not canned) adds a hint of tropical sweetness.
2 tablespoons peanut butter: Peanut butter lends a wonderful nutty flavor and a boost of protein and healthy fats, making the smoothie more satisfying.1 You can use smooth or chunky peanut butter depending on your preference. For a smoother consistency, smooth peanut butter is generally recommended.

Peanut Butter Coffee Smoothie (The Best Coffee Protein Smoothie) – Bucket List Tummy

www.bucketlisttummy.com

2 teaspoons honey: Honey adds a touch of natural sweetness that complements the coffee and banana. You can adjust the amount to your liking or substitute with other sweeteners like maple syrup, agave nectar, or even a few drops of stevia.
Equipment:

Blender
Measuring cups and spoons
Instructions:

Prepare the Banana: Peel the ripe banana and break it into a few chunks. This will make it easier for your blender to process.
Combine Ingredients: Add the banana chunks, cooled brewed coffee, milk, peanut butter, and honey to the blender.
Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on medium to high speed until all the ingredients are completely smooth and creamy. There should be no lumps or chunks remaining. You may need to stop the blender a couple of times to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Adjust Consistency (Optional): If your smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more milk (a tablespoon at a time) and blend again until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, you could add a few ice cubes and blend until thickened, keeping in mind this might slightly dilute the flavor.
Pour and Enjoy: Once the smoothie reaches your preferred consistency, pour it into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips for the Perfect Coffee Smoothie:

Use Frozen Banana for Extra Thickness: For an even thicker, ice cream-like consistency, use a frozen banana. Simply peel a ripe banana, slice it, and freeze it in a zip-top bag or container for at least a couple of hours.
Cool Your Coffee Thoroughly: This is crucial to prevent a warm smoothie. You can brew your coffee ahead of time and chill it in the refrigerator. You can even freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays and use those in your smoothie for an extra icy treat without diluting the coffee flavor too much.
Quality of Ingredients Matters: Using high-quality coffee and ripe bananas will significantly impact the final taste of your smoothie.
Taste and Adjust: Before pouring, give your smoothie a taste and adjust the sweetness or consistency as needed. You might want to add a little more honey for sweetness or a splash more milk for a thinner consistency.
Don’t Over-Blend: Over-blending can sometimes result in a less appealing texture. Blend just until everything is smooth.
Clean Your Blender Promptly: It’s always easier to clean your blender right after making a smoothie before the ingredients have a chance to dry.
Delicious Variations to Try:

Chocolate Coffee Smoothie: Add 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder or a tablespoon of chocolate syrup to the blender for a mocha-inspired smoothie. You can also add a few chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
Vanilla Coffee Smoothie: Enhance the flavor with ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Nutty Coffee Smoothie: Experiment with different nut butters like almond butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter for a unique flavor profile.
Protein-Packed Coffee Smoothie: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored work well) to make this smoothie a great post-workout drink or a more substantial meal replacement.
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a tiny bit of cardamom for a warm and aromatic twist.
Green Coffee Smoothie: Sneak in some greens by adding a handful of spinach or kale. The strong flavors of coffee, banana, and peanut butter will usually mask the taste of the greens.
Berry Coffee Smoothie: Add ½ cup of your favorite berries (fresh or frozen) like blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries for added antioxidants and a fruity note.
Coconut Coffee Smoothie: Use coconut milk as your liquid base and consider adding a tablespoon of shredded coconut for a tropical flavor.
Maple Pecan Coffee Smoothie: Substitute honey with maple syrup and add a tablespoon of chopped pecans for a rich and nutty flavor combination.
Coffee Smoothie with Oats: Add ¼ cup of rolled oats for extra fiber and a thicker, more filling smoothie. You might need to blend for a bit longer to ensure the oats are fully incorporated.
This detailed recipe and the exciting variations should give you plenty of ideas to create your perfect coffee smoothie. Enjoy experimenting with different ingredients and finding your favorite combinations! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Made 4 loaves for church this year because I got so many compliments last year!
Made 4 Loaves for Church This Year Because I Got So Many Compliments Last Year!
Here’s the Recipe and Step-by-Step Method That Earned the Praise

Every year, our church hosts a special gathering where members bring homemade food to share — and last year, I brought two loaves of freshly baked bread. I didn’t expect the warm reaction: people came up to me asking for the recipe, saying it reminded them of old family gatherings or special holidays. Some even wrapped a piece to take home! This year, I knew I had to double the effort — so I made four loaves. Here’s how I did it, step by step, so you can try it too.

Why This Bread Is So Loved

This recipe strikes the perfect balance between soft, pillowy texture and a rich, buttery aroma. It’s slightly sweet, making it perfect as a side with meals, for communion, or just with a pat of butter and a cup of tea. Think of it as a mix between classic white sandwich bread and a celebration loaf — easy enough for beginners, but memorable enough for praise.

Ingredients (Makes 4 Loaves)

You’ll need:
- 10 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for kneading)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 packets (2 1/4 tsp each) active dry yeast
- 3 1/2 cups warm water (around 110°F / 43°C)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- Extra butter for greasing and brushing tops
Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Stir to dissolve. Sprinkle in the yeast and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This shows the yeast is alive and ready to work its magic.

Tip: If it doesn’t foam, your yeast might be dead — try fresh packets.

Step 2: Make the Dough

Once the yeast is activated, mix in the softened butter, salt, and eggs. Stir well.

Gradually add the flour, 2 cups at a time. After about 6 cups, the dough will start to get thick and heavy. Switch to hand mixing or use a stand mixer with a dough hook. Continue adding the flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms (usually around 9–10 cups total).

Step 3: Knead the Dough

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in small amounts of flour as you knead.

Kneading test: Press two fingers gently into the dough — it should slowly bounce back.

Step 4: First Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5: Punch Down & Divide

Once risen, punch the dough down to release the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and divide it evenly into four portions.

Shape each portion into a loaf: roll into a rectangle, then tightly roll it up from one end like a jelly roll. Tuck the ends under and place each roll seam-side down into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Step 6: Second Rise

Cover the loaf pans and let the dough rise again for 30–45 minutes, until the loaves rise about 1 inch above the rim of the pans.

Step 7: Bake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaves for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and the tops sound hollow when tapped.

Step 8: Butter and Cool

As soon as they come out of the oven, brush the tops with butter for that irresistible golden shine and soft crust. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Serving and Storing
- Serve warm with honey, butter, or jam.
- Wrap cooled loaves in foil or plastic wrap — they stay fresh for 3–4 days.

These Tortilla Wraps with Ground Beef Are a Family Favorite at Our House!

There’s something irresistibly comforting about tortilla wraps—especially when they’re filled with flavorful ground beef, fresh toppings, and creamy sauces. At our house, these ground beef tortilla wraps are more than just a quick dinner option—they’re a cherished family favorite. Whether it’s a casual weeknight meal or a weekend treat, everyone looks forward to wrapping up their own and digging in. Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide to making these delicious wraps at home.

Ingredients

For the ground beef filling:
- 500g (1 lb) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder (optional for heat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For assembling the wraps:
- 6–8 medium-sized flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup grated cheddar or a cheese blend
- ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ½ cup guacamole or sliced avocado
- Hot sauce (optional)
- Fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Before you start cooking, get all your ingredients prepped and ready. Chop the onion and garlic, wash and shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and grate the cheese. Having everything laid out makes the process faster and more enjoyable.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
4. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until it’s browned and no longer pink—about 7–8 minutes.
5. Drain any excess fat, if needed.
Step 3: Season the Beef
1. Once the meat is browned, stir in the tomato paste and spices (smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper).
2. Mix well and let the beef simmer for another 3–4 minutes to absorb the flavors. If it looks dry, add a splash of water or beef broth to keep it juicy.
Step 4: Warm the Tortillas

While the beef is simmering, warm your tortillas:
- You can heat them individually in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side.
- Alternatively, wrap them in foil and warm them in a 180°C (350°F) oven for about 10 minutes.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps

Now the fun part—assembly!
1. Lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface.
2. Add a generous spoonful of the seasoned ground beef in the center.
3. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and guacamole.
4. Add a few dashes of hot sauce if desired.
5. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Step 6: Fold and Serve
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly.
- Serve immediately while warm. You can secure the wrap with a toothpick if needed.
Tips and Variations
- Make it spicy: Add chopped jalapeños or extra chili powder to the beef for heat lovers.
- Add rice or beans: For a more filling option, mix in cooked rice or black beans.
- Go low-carb: Use lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a low-carb alternative.
- Batch cooking: Make extra ground beef and refrigerate or freeze for easy future meals.

Chocolate Chip Cake
Butter and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper then in a large mixing bowl you will mix the dry ingredients and mix them breaking any lumps of cocoa. A few lumps are okay, in a second bowl you will combine the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.

For the wet ingredients, you will need coffee and one thing about baking with coffee is that you will not taste the coffee in the cake and it will amplify the flavour of chocolate. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk just until they are combined and the dry ingredients are moistened.

Add chocolate chips and fold them in the batter then pour the batter into the prepared cake pan(s) and bake in a preheated 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Once they come out of the oven, let them rest for 15 minutes then run a knife or a spatula over the edges of the cake to loosen them from the pan. You can serve the cake the way it is or pour a glaze on top for extra chocolatey flavour.

Ingredients;

3 cups (375 grams) of all-purpose flour

1/2 cup (50 grams) of unsweetened cocoa powder (natural)

2 cups (400 grams) of granulated sugar

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 cups warm coffee (not hot)

2 Tbsp white vinegar

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

2/3 cup light olive oil, not extra virgin

1 cup (170 grams) of chocolate chips

Instructions;

Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Butter two 9″ cake pans and line the bottoms with a ring of parchment paper.

In a large bowl whisk together your dry ingredients: 3 cups flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 2 cups sugar, 2 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp salt until there are no more cocoa lumps (a few tiny lumps are ok; it also helps to sift the cocoa before using it).

In a separate bowl, mix your wet ingredients: 2 cups warm coffee, 2 Tbsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp vanilla extract and 2/3 cup olive oil.

Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until they come together.

Divide equally between prepared cake pans and top with more chocolate chips then bake in a preheated oven at 350˚F for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Sour Milk Doughnuts The Timeless Baker

Sour Milk Doughnuts The Timeless Baker

**Ingredients:**

– 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

– 1 cup sour milk or buttermilk

– 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

– 1 cup granulated sugar

– 2 teaspoons baking powder

– 1 teaspoon baking soda

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

– Oil for frying

**Directions:**

1. **Prepare the Dough:** In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg until well combined. Set aside.

2. **Mix Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, mix the sour milk, sugar, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

3. **Combine Ingredients:** Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding together gently with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to ensure tender doughnuts.

4. **Chill the Dough:** Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for around 30 minutes. This will make the dough easier to handle.

5. **Shape Doughnuts:** On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a doughnut cutter or two round cutters of varying sizes to shape the doughnuts. Gather and re-roll scraps as necessary.

6. **Heat the Oil:** In a deep fryer or large heavy pot, heat oil to 375°F (190°C). Carefully place the doughnuts one by one into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or spatula, avoiding splashes.

7. **Fry the Doughnuts:** Fry each doughnut for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

8. **Serve and Enjoy:** Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or dip in glaze while warm. Serve immediately for the best texture.

**Tips:**

– To make sour milk, combine 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and let it sit for 10 minutes.

– Be cautious of oil temperature; too hot oil will burn the exterior while leaving the center uncooked.

– Allow the doughnuts to cool slightly before adding any toppings so that they don’t melt away entirely.

**Prep Time:** 45 minutes

**Calories:** Approximately 220 per doughnut (serving size may vary)

Enjoy these delightful doughnuts with a cup of coffee or your favorite tea for a wonderful snack or breakfast treat!
