No-Churn Strawberry Ice Cream

[triedin2015]

I made this for Christmas brunch and it was a hit! The taste was good, the veggies were nice on a day/in a season full of sweats, and it was easy to make for a crowd.

Will definitely make again!

budget bytes is almost always a runaway success, but this is great. it is CHEAP. it is FAST. it is EASY. it makes A LOT. perfect for if you know you are not going to have the time or energy or motivation to make food for yourself for a few days. the only prep work is chopping an onion and some garlic and rinsing canned beans, otherwise you are just dumping things into a pot. easy to make vegan just by omitting the shredded cheese. easy to add more vegetables to if you wanted. this made 6 HEARTY servings.

(i did add salt and a tablespoon of cumin and a teaspoon of oregano)

It really is too bad that the users in budget bytes are harping on Monti and Olena. Their recipes are great, and they add a lot of different cultural recipies, like Pollo Guisado and Kapusniak.

Monti also posted her carrot soup and soda bread recipes that impressed fucking Gordon Ramsey when she competed.

And yet certain users descend on them like vultures and it’s really annoying.

Olena gets told that the food she writes, which are versions that her Ukrainian grandma taught her, and people flock to say that «umn. Did you forget Poland, Belarus or my country. This is our food. Stop stealing our cultural dishes. Btw one feels sorry about you and your war sweetie <3»

And Monti, well, they try to be coy by saying that she spells bad, or they «take issue» with nonsense things like claiming that «most people can’t bite over brioche bread» or «humans cannot eat raw onions actually « but honestly, it’s because she is Puerto Rican.

And the thing is, Marion is not getting the same shit. Marion has been on longer than both, but is not getting the same vitriol.

Ive got a slowly growing google doc of depressipes that i will one day put together and share because...... i love cooking but every single recipe blog or cookbook in the world is like. So you're gonna need two hours of spare time, 1/20th of a rare and expensive ingredient, an air fryer, crockpot, instapot, and the mental health to wash a sinkful of dishes every time you cook...... Even the budget recipe blogs are like "this should only cost you $1.50/serving because you're only using ONE saffron thread!" Like girl I can't go to the store and buy one saffron thread. Also it's always scaled for a family of four like what if I'm cooking for My Own Ass

i bought bread flour this is fucking serious

[triedin2015]

I wasn’t sure about this at first. Largely because the recipe (at least when it first went up, which is when I saw it) omitted several steps. It calls for ginger and cream but there was nothing about them in the instructions... So I had to figure it out on my own. Which isn’t really my strong spot in terms of cooking. 

Nevertheless, I persisted. 

We buy whole carrots at Costco so we had a million of them. I used half-and-half instead of cream because that’s what they had at the store I went to. I used more ginger than the receipt called for because I was making this for people who are sick with COVID and I thought the big, spicy taste would be nice.

When I was done roasting the carrots, I was afraid it wasn’t going to be enough to give the soup a strong carrot-y flavor, but I shouldn’t have worried. Also, roasted carrots are delicious. I could eat them every day. I should have roasted extras so I could nosh on them.

The brown butter infused with thyme was a nice touch. After doing that, I added the ginger with the onions. Then I followed the recipe basically as written, with the only other exception being I used two cans of broth, which was slightly more than the 3 cups called for in the recipe and accordingly used less water.

I think I ended up simmering my carrots for maybe 35 minutes? Then I added in the half-and-half and used my immersion blender (rather than transferring the soup to a real blender as the receipt called for).

After the soup was smooth, I added some salt and pepper and we were good to go. Based on the little bit I ladled into a bowl to try as a quality control measure, it was delicious. I’ll definitely be making this for myself in the near future!

tried the budgetbytes hot chocolate recipe because it turned out my milk is STILL drinkable that i had in the fridge and this shit is good . simple too since it's literally just equal portions brown sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder, plus cinnamon and cayenne to taste
