Food Recommendations: Homemade Recipes

Quote of the day: Compassion will cure more sins then condemnation.
-Henry Ward Beecher
Homemade Recipes always seems most comforting to me. There are a few in particular I often make myself. (Which often end in failure.) These recipes are simple, fast and easy to make. Which is what I crave often, nothing fancy. Okay, I'll cut the crap now. Enjoy.
1.) Orange French Toast
A small carton of orange juice
3 White Bread (or any bread you prefer)
2-3 eggs (depending on how many bread you use, about a 3:2 ratio)
a) Mix the orange juice with the eggs. Whisk well.
b) Dip the bread into the egg and juice mixture. Coat each side evenly.
c) Heat up a pan and pour in any oil of you choice. (Personally, I prefer olive oil. It's healthier and a better option from normal cooking oil which make the French Toast greasy.)
d) Serve with a cup of orange juice. (Optional)
2) Apricot Tart
2-3 apricot, sliced
2 egg yolks
1 cup of heavy cream
3/4 cup of sugar
1 1/2 cup of plain flour
1/4 cup of chopped hazelnut(or any nutty toppings you like)
a) Preheat a oven to 350 degrees.
b) Peel the apricots and arrange in the bottom of a blind-baked tart shell.
c) Combine cream, egg yolk, sugar and flour.
d) Pour the mixture over the apricot and sprinkle the hazelnuts over.
e) Bake in a preheated oven for 35 minutes.
3) Good 'Ol Chocolate Chip cookies
1/2 cup of butter
1 beaten egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 1/8 cups of flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
a) Preheated the oven to 350 degrees.
b) Cream the butter and sugar. (aka Mix the butter and sugar and whisk till almost cream-like)
c) Add the beaten egg and vanilla essence. Whisk together.
d) Mix the flour, salt and baking powder and sift.
e) Add in the cream mixture to the powder and mix thoroughly before adding chocolate chips.
d) Now, you can design the cookies on your own. Either drop it by the spoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheets or add a bit more flour(make it a bit harder), roll the batter out and use cookie cutters to shape the cookies. Bake for 7-10 minutes or till the edges become a light golden brown.
e) These cookies are great as presents or as treats for yourself. Since Christmas is coming, why not wrap them up and give them to your loved ones!
(I've got the cookie recipe from http://www.easy-cookies.com, I made a little change to the ending. Hope you don't mind. Anyway, this website provides good and easy recipes for you.)
Bon Appetite!
