What Does A Womb Look Like

To combat the cold ....

Pumpkin Cream.


600 gr. peanut squash (butternut squash)

2 leeks 2 carrots 1 large onion


4 cloves garlic 4 tablespoons olive oil salt


black pepper 1 knob of butter
water.


in a pan with hot oil saute onion and finely chopped leek that we will add the garlic and carrots and continue sautéing chopped also. Finally add the diced pumpkin, which you previously removed skin and seeds. Sauté for a couple of minutes to release their flavor as well as other vegetables. Season and cover with hot water. Cook until squash is tender, remove from heat, add butter and blend until a smooth cream. Depending on the thickness as you want to add it more or less water during cooking as part of it will evaporate in this process. Garnish with a drizzle of cream and olive oil and serve.

A recipe with pumpkin and I can not resist going through the produce section and not take a pumpkin. Rica and many properties also spreads a lot. To this puree (for 4-5 people) I used half a small pumpkin. I used another piece for a vegetable quiche and I still have a good piece that I will use instead of potatoes to accompany other dishes (the hair and short segments that associated with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic) . A delight, I encourage you to try.

Can You Jog When You Have Your Period

.... Cookies!! Cookies

orange cookies and raisins.

For 25 cookies:
113 gr. unsalted butter (room temperature)
25 gr.
white sugar 25 gr. brown sugar 1 egg yolk

1 / 2 cucahradita
vanilla extract 100 gr.
pastry flour 100 gr.
wheat flour 1 / 8 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking
(Royal)
75 gr.
currants zest of 1 orange skin.


Preheat oven to 170 º C.
Beat with beater bars or Kitchen Aid butter with both sugars for about 3 minutes until mixture is creamy, add yolk, vanilla and orange zest and continue beating until incorporated. In another bowl mix the 2 types of flour, salt and yeast and are incorporated into the first mixture. Join raisins (can sting a bit with the grinder) and knead with hands for a minute. Refrigerate wrapped in cling film for 20-30 minutes.
It extends to roll on a floured surface and are shaped with a cookie cutter. The thickness of the dough should be about 5-6 mm. Bake for 10 min. or until golden brown, we will have a tray lined with baking paper.


Remove from oven and cool completely on wire rack. This is a bit difficult if you love cookies .... sure you eat some that is still warm, or not?

This recipe was completely improvised. The truth is that when one is doing by taking the point of the cookies, it is not difficult to improvise, you can get by combining different types of sugar or flour, even these are very good by replacing part of the flour with oatmeal. The combination of the aroma of orange with raisins I've always liked your imagination is to introduce other ingredients to your taste chocolate .... maybe? cinnamon? cardamom ?.... hope you like it.

Samples Of Tv Programme Proposals

raspberry heart ....

Thumbprint cookies .

For 20 pcs. (I get about 25-26)
113 gr. unsalted butter (room temperature)
50 gr. white sugar
1 large egg (separated into white and yolk)
1 / 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
140 gr. flour * (he needed 180 gr. pastry flour)
1 / 8 teaspoon salt
100 gr. chopped almonds (can also be nuts, hazelnuts, etc.).
1 / 2 cup of jam ** ( I used 100 gr. raspberry jam)


Preheat oven to 170 º C. Cover a baking tray with baking paper.
In a bowl (or in the bowl of electric mixer), place butter and sugar, beat for 2-3 minutes (I did with mixer rod). Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat until blended.
In another bowl mix the flour with salt. Join this dry mixture to butter mixture. At this point I love a little by hand until flour is incorporated and the vessel was cleared me .. The dough should be smooth surface and uniform enough consistent as to form balls. If too soft for butter, cooled for 30 min.
In a small bowl beat egg whites until foamy. Go forming the dough ball (of arox. 2'54 cm. In diameter) and go bathing them in the beaten egg white and then roll in chopped almonds. Place them in separate baking paper lined tray. Using your thumb to sink the ball in the center and place each biscuit in half a teaspoon of raspberry jam.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until almonds are golden. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

I made
variations on the original recipe, which indicates that the chopped nuts should be toasted before batter. As I do not particularly like the taste of roasted nuts too, what I do is use blanched almonds, and chopped raw, not roasted. The baking time is sufficient to toast lightly and do not know how to burn.

Infected with fever of galletil Bea, I decided to make this delicious recipe from The Joy of Baking , page you always find interesting challenges and results excellent. You can also make changes to your favorite ones with nuts or jam. Are addictive, fast to ,....... perfect for a coffee or tea with friends @ s.
I hope you like.
