Baking stuff!

Oooo chicken rice! We do this all the time! My dad would boiled some chicken and the essence was used to cook rice! And it’s made into Hainan chicken rice! So good!

I love adding chicken stock to my rice so adding leftover fried chicken to that should be heavenly plus I get my protein🤤 I can't wait to see what you're gonna be baking! I recommend trying out Pastafrola, a pie really popular here but that's only if you get some quince paste for it. Also I hope your pizza ferments well, the key I believe is always letting it rest and using little yeast so it doesn't alter the flavor. Don't worry if it comes out a bit tough or if it gets a dry "skin" on the surface, there are always ways to fix them. On youtube I follow a guy who gave me all the tips... in shorts haha but he speaks spanish ;; if you still want to check him out his channel is MarcPizza, maybe there are subs on them or you can find his equivalent in english. Good luck with your baking Menachyu!!!!!!!

I can cook really well but I cannot bake so big respect for that since it really difficult! I'm sure your family will enjoy all the delicious food you make. The rice tip works other stuff too! I like adding aromatics like rosemary or thyme

chicken and rice, a classic! I've done something similar before with sautéed spinach mixed in, it's umai desu 🙏 all of your cooking posts bring me so much joy, imagining you eating your tasty food real happily feeling proud of what you made and feeling content afterward.. it's healing all your posts and the cytubes actually inspired me to start baking, y'know! now my family's always asking about cookies and breads and muffins and I'm really happy to oblige, so thank you! 💙 I bet yours will be a hit too! if you're up for a bit of challenge then bienenstich (a german cake) is super tasty.. and another one that's not really unique but you can do a lot with and are easy is baked churros!! I recommend serving them with a salted caramel sauce or hot honey, there are so many sauces or drizzles that work with them 🤤 I hope your day has been great! <3

Really happy to hear you're going to be baking and cooking for your family. It's really sweet! And cooking for people you care about is the best!   Good luck with the pizza dough! That's actually the next think I wanted to try to make because I heard it freezes well. Whatever tricks or techniques you learn, I'd love to hear about them! I've been really trying to bake or make something new every week this year. This weekend last weekend while I was making cookies, and it realized how much I had learned and got a little proud lol. I saw some parts of the recipe I wanted to adjust and knew how to change them to make the cookies turn out how I wanted! I'm going to keep at it and keep learning. You do the same ok!? Besides pizza dough, the next things I really want to learn how to bake is milk bread and find a good donut recipe I can make my own, and this honey oatmeal bread ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2G7l5bRBCE&list=PLlBTaSHkgN4-KSew9qqASuwCJiwUXwIPd&index=19 ) You should try to make your own too! And I'll try your secret rice trick next time I make rice! I'm sure it will be so good it will become the normal way I make it lol

Chicken and rice is like the classic 💗 I'm surprised I never thought about your flavoring rice with it before...I'll definitely try it! I'm glad your family is pushing you to cook more, you've been putting so much into your meals! Thinking about you making some tiramisu makes me want a slice or two 😩...

definitely let me know about the pizza dough, my sister and I want to some pizza dough soon!

Good luck with all the cooking and baking! I’m sure your family is gonna love all of it! I recently bough a big bag of plums and I saw a recipe for a plum cake which I want to try to make. There might be a slight problem because the plums are too yummy and I can’t stop eating them lol. Can’t wait to see all the yummy pictures! 💙 Edit: I remember seeing awhile back that its possible to make a cheesecake in the rice cooker, I want to try that too!

i was happy to see you tried the basque cake!, it's one of my favorites typical desserts from here, i really hope you liked it. What would I recommend, hmm... maybe a cold dessert for the summer, like pineapple cake, slightly bathed in sugar syrup... it's perfect for a sweet tooth. Or arroz con leche (rice pudding?), could work too! i'm not really a fan of this last one, but maybe you'd like it. Also, not a dessert, but don't sleep on gazpacho soup!!!! it's so good for you and perfect for the summer, and super easy to make too!!!!!! (to-make-to... to-ma-to... hehe) cooking for people is the best, it's with a heavy heart that i've assumed that i'll die without trying a single dish from you... but we deal, we deal...

I cant wait to see all the stuff you make! Im still procrastinating my baking adventures but I WILL do it eventually. I dont have anything to recommend but if I think of something Ill definitely mention it! Im sure your family will love your food though, you're an awesome cook from what I've seen.

God i love Tiramisu~ i used to do for my family a lot, they love it, maybe i should do it again~ and thank you for the tip, i'll try it next time i cook some rice 💙 hope your pizza dough is good (frankly, i think it will be really good~), and hope you post pics if the result 💙💙💙 have a nice evening/night Menachu~

Thanks for the tip about the rice! You’re making me want to buy a rice cooker now lol. I only tried tiramisu last year on my Rome trip and I must’ve had it every day of the holiday lol. I love it now! It’s cool they want you to make stuff for them, I think cooking for people you care about is one of the best feelings in life. I’ve got a few recommendations. The thing I make the most for family and to take to work is carrot cake, specifically Chef John’s carrot cake (it’s so damn good). Some other stuff I’ve made and would recommend trying are pon de ring donuts (they’re really easy), chocolate mousse cake, strawberry and cream torte, and Portuguese custard tarts (making the laminated pastry from scratch is a pain but worth it). Glad you’re enjoying yourself and I’m excited to see the stuff you make!!

I just had hummingbird cake over the weekend and it was really good. I was worried about the pineapple but it wasn't too overpowering. I think you should try the tomato soup cake that tasting history just made a video about. He said it was great and was similar to carrot cake. I'm sure your family would find it interesting too.

I loooove baking and if you need dessert ideas I can recommend some! Some favorite things I made before are salted caramel apple pie bars, apple cake with bourbon caramel sauce and double chocolate crinkle cookies! These were all delicious! For regular food I mostly make rice bowls tbh. Sweet chili tofu, oyakodon and similar stuff! I can't wait to see what you make If you want links: https://twokooksinthekitchen.com/apple-cake-caramel-bourbon-sauce/ https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/salted-caramel-apple-pie-bars/ https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/double-chocolate-crinkle-cookies/

Thank you for the tip for rice I'm not sure anything I eat/make is unique really but I'll think on that can't wait to see the results I'm interested in the good pizza crust recipe I keep trying new ones and haven't found one I like yet Hope you have lots of fun with I love cooking I wish I had more time to do it Hope you and dio have an awesome evening 💗

Niceu niceu! Muffins can be a lot of fun to bake since you can add so many different ingredients to them to change the flavor, I made these blueberry muffins with a cinnamon crumble on top and they were delicious! I'm sure you could also make savory muffins, I don't think I've ever actually seen someone do it before.

I love cooking so much but haven’t gotten into baking yet it seems a little intimidating and a lot less forgiving since I cook by feel over measurements. I can’t wait to see how it goes for you and I’m looking forward to seeing all kinds of nice treats from you!!

I throw chicken thighs and frozen vegetables with rice in an instant pot and cook them all together makes a really decent chicken and rice all in 1 meal.
