Stir Fry
Stir fry is one of my favorite ways to use up lots of vegetables (and even some fruits). Choose a protein, anything from chicken to shrimp to tofu. You can throw in just about any vegetables that you have on hand (and if you just want a quick meal use frozen). And then add an easy stir fry sauce made from equal parts of water (or broth) and soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch per cup of liquid. You can also add in flavors such as sesame seed oil, honey, ginger, and garlic. And then you have a wonderful dinner.
Learn how to make meals from foods in your pantry.
Is a muffin just a not sweet cupcake? Although we start out with basically the same ingredients, muffins and cupcakes have several differences. Overall the main difference how they each control the amount of gluten developed. Cupcakes control the amount of gluten developed with lots of inhibiting ingredients such as fat and sugar. While muffins control the amount of gluten by mixing very little. The additional mixing in cupcakes allows them to become light and fluffy without much baking powder. Thus we can create two different products with very similar ingredients.
Did you know that you can make a cheesecake in an electric pressure cooker? Come to our class on Tuesday July 16 to learn how to make the cheesecake and much more in your electric pressure cooker. Call us at the extension office, 208-236-7310, to register today and learn more.
I am so excited for the Science of Meat class tonight! Since this Pork Picnic Roast will take too long to cook in class I started it ahead of time. This is a braised method used on tough cuts of meat. If you want to add veggies you can add them to the pot about half hour to an hour before the roast is done. You can also baste the roast (pour some of the liquid from the bottom of the pan over the top of the roast) every hour to help keep it even more moist!
3 Candies from 1 Syrup
All candy is mostly sugar and water. There are flavoring agents and different kinds of sugar used, but they have the same basic start. Here I start out with a simple sugar-water syrup, which I made into 3 very different sweets! At the Science of Candies class, on February 9, from 10-12, you will learn how to manipulate sugar to create several different kinds of candies, and get some hands on experience. The class is $5/person (or come to the entire Science of Cooking series for $30). Call the Bannock County extension office at 208-236-7310 for more information and to pre-register.
Come to the Science of Baking class to learn how to make paper thin phyllo dough like you see here. Not only will you learn how to make this, and other baked goods, but you will also learn the science behind why it works! The class is on Saturday, December 8 from 10:00-1:00. $5/person or bring your entire family for $15. There will be fun for everyone! Call the extension office at 208-236-7310 in advance to register. But hurry, spots are filling up fast!
On November 8 from 5-6, we will be having a class on Plant Based Diets at the extension office. Come learn how to use “wheat meat” like I made here and other plant based proteins. This will add variety to your diet and help you eat healthier. Call the extension office at 208-236-7310 in advance to register. Costs $10/person.
