Wandering through life one season at a time
It’s the first ever Kitchen Tip Tuesday over at Tammy’s Recipes. My tip is for those of you who have a pasta machine. (like my handy little Ronco) I don’t make pasta with it anymore since hubby went low carb, but I’ve discovered that you can mix just about anything in it. My family loves sausage balls but my hands get tired mixing a big batch together. Just throw it all in the pasta maker & be done with it! Works great for cookie dough too. Check out all the great kitchen tips here.
This recipe was in our paper a couple of weeks ago and I tried it for breakfast last Saturday. Oooooh baby!! They are even good without syrup. I doubled the recipe for our family of 6.
Cottage Cheese and Sour Cream Pancakes
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 t. lemon juice
3/4 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 cup flour
In large bowl, combine all ingredients. Let the batter stand uncovered for 10 minutes. Spray large skillet with cooking spray and heat to medium high. Using about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, cook until golden on one side and around edge. Turn and brown the other side. Serve hot. (Amy adds: slather with real butter….mmmm)

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I would post my favorite Irish bread recipe. Hubby & I lived in Dublin for a year working with a church there. It is a gorgeous country full of funny, friendly people.
Irish Brown Bread
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons toasted wheat bran
3 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 cups buttermilk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Butter a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Combine first 8 ingredients in large bowl; mix well. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal. Stir in enough buttermilk to form soft dough. Transfer dough to prepared loaf pan.
Bake until bread is dark brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Turn bread out of pan and cool right side up on rack.
Check out this great website that sells Irish food. We had so much fun browsing & remembering all of our favorites.
