Apple Pie

This is sooo funnny, there is a whole song about apple pie. It goes something like this:

 

Apple Pie

I'm a squishy squashy piece of Apple Pie,

and I make your tummy feel so very fine.

Serve me hot or serve me cold, or even serve me "a la mode."

I'm a scrumptious piece of yummy apple pie.

Verse 1.

Your Mommy makes me every Friday evening,

she sprinkles all the sugar on the dough.

She folds in all the apples and the cinnamon,

and when she's through she lets me lick the bowl.

Verse 2.

After you have had your beans and chicken on a plate;

after you have had your milk, and when it's getting late.

Suddenly you realize, that time is slipping by,

and it's time to eat that squishy squashy pie..

Verse 3.

Every bite is chewy and I'm crunchy and I'm gooey;

my pie crust is so flaky to the taste.

I'll disappear but have no fear, tomorrow I will reappear...

I'm so scrumptious that I'm much too good to waste.

 

Why Listen To Music?

I have found this definition: "Music has become a part of people's everyday routine. People listen to music starting right from their home to public buses, temples, shopping malls and all along the way till their workplace. Music helps people to forget and overcome the burden of their work and feel refreshed. For example, a manual worker who spends his whole day doing the monotonous job may become bored of his job, which will eventually result in decreased productivity. But by listening to music during his work, he can keep himself afresh and do his job in a enthusiatic and better manner.Many employers realizing the importance of music that it will increase the productivity, allow their employees to listen to music while they do their work. People working in software companies can be cited as an example."

Why Apple Pie :)?

You should listen to this song while you are baking apple pie, I bet it will taste better. I wanted to post a simple apple pie recipe today but this funny song got me totally distracted so you can follow the recipe link where you will find plenty of ways to make apple pie.

Until next recipe - enjoy!

Pancakes With Apples And Cinnamon

I went to a cool little restaurant a few days ago. Actually its more like lounge bar or something. Anyway....they serve delicious food. I had mediteranian salad, mediteranian mozzarella and tomato vrap and these delicious apple pancakes. A managed to snap a photo of them before thay dissappeared into the unknown:-).

I think they are pretty simple to make...all you need is a simple pancake recipe - there are plenty of them here http://www.thepancakerecipe.com/ . Oh..just be careful - dont make american pancakes, make thin French ones called crepes. Then peel the apples and cut them in tiny pieces, cover them with some honey and butter and very very quickly put them in a pan to heat them up. Then put them into the pancake and sprinkle with cinnamon.

And you have a delicious dessert on your hands:-)

Orange Apple Carrot Juice

How to make orange apple carrot juice?

See and download the full gallery on posterous

It's really easy :). But you do need a juicer to make natural juices. You could make juice also with a mixer but then they are much thicker and harder to drink. On the other hand if you use a mixer you use the whole fruit, if you use a juice you only get the juice. Then you have to figure out what to do with the dry parts...

OK, just peel the oranges, wash the apples and wash the carrots. I also use a potato peeler to peel the carrots.

Then just throw everything into a juicer and your juice is done.

A few tips:

1. Make a lot of juice! The biggest problem for me is to clean up the mess after making juice. So if you do it, do it proper. Make a gallon. The clean up is the same.
2. How much apples, how much oranges, how much carrots? I use something like 40% oranges, 35% apples, 25% carrots. 
3. Add some lemon juice at the end to prevent oxidation.

That's is, healthy and delicious orange apple carrot juice is done.

But there is no need to stop here. Once you have a juicer you can make all sorts of juices. You can either choose them by taste or by the benefits of drinking them. Here are a few pages the will tell you a few things about the benefits of drinking different juices... health benefits of aloe vera juice, another page with health benefits of aloe vera juice, then there is apple juice that also does many many good things to your body. Remember an apple a day keeps the doctor away? So these are the health benefits of apple juice. 

Oh..one more thing, it is not just fruits that you can use when making juices. You can also use vegetables! We already  used carrots in this recipes but there are many other fruits that you can use. So far I have tried broccoli, cucumbers, carrots, rhubarb. The next on the list are tomatoes. There are also quite a few health benefits of drinking tomato juice.

Uf...this juice post turned out to be much longer then intended :)

Anyway - make fruit and vegetable juices at home and take care!
