Easy Way To Juice A Pomegranate.

1. Really great technique is to:  
2. Roll it around on the counter until you get all of the jewels popped. 
3. Make a small incision and squeeze over a container getting as much as you can out. 
4. Cut the pom open and hold the pom under water and get the jewels out, the membrane will float and the jewels sink. 
5. Get as much of the membrane from the water as possible and put the jewels in a mesh strainer. 
6. Put your container on a plate or bigger bowl to catch extra juice but just squeeze the jewels as they pop and release juice! 
7. Throw out the jewels that now lost their liquid ruby juice and is now in a cup to be put in the fridge. 

Oh yeah. Pomegranates are great. They are going on my xmas list.

Chicken & Rice Corn "Chowder" In 15min.

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 chx breast, shredded  (mine was already cooked and in the freezer so it just needed to be thawed)
1 can corn
2c instant rice
4c water
garlic salt
onion powder
basil flakes
black pepper

1. Bring the water to boil. Add the rice. (This is where I added the chicken so it thawed and heated thru)
2. Cook for 5min, then drain off maybe a cup of water, I just drained it until the water level was a little under the rice.
3. Add the corn and soup.
4. Add the spices.
5. Cook until heated thru.

TADA!

Lemon Cream Cake

This is also from the same website as the bread post. Lemon Cream Cake
I borrowed Yammie's picture to further entice you to make it!

The only thing different that I did was one half of my 9x13" pan was a raspberry curd instead.

1 1/2 handfuls of frozen (but then thawed a little) raspberries, pureed then strained thru a sieve type thing. If it doesn't equal 2/3c add a little water. I added a little lemon zest too and then just make it the exact way you do the lemon curd only without the lemon juice.

I used 1qt of heavy whipping cream and whipped it all up in the mixer and added 1/2c sugar and a little lemon zest.

The cake gave me a little trouble since I did it in a 9x13. I probably cooked it 30-40min but PLEASE test it before you let it go that long. My main issue was that the bottom was still a little goopy. Trust me, it really wasn't a big deal to have it goopy, don't worry about it.

Everyone really liked it. :)

Think of a lemon meringue pie minus the meringue and crust and put it with cake instead. It's delicious.

60 Minute Fluffy White Sandwich Bread

Firstly, THIS BREAD IS AMAZING.

In MY notes, I corrected the 2T yeast to 1 Pkg (which is 2T) of Active Dry Yeast.
I will definitely be making this again and again.
It is now my go to bread recipe.

1 cup warm water (probably somewhere between 105º and 115º. I just get it hot from the tap. Don't get it too hot or it will kill the yeast.)

2 tablespoons yeast (1pkg active dry yeast)

2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup olive oil

3 cups bread flour (all-purpose works too)

2 teaspoons salt

Mix together the yeast, sugar, water, and oil. Let it sit for about five minutes.

Add the flour a little and a time, mixing in your stand mixer with a dough hook.

Add the salt.

Knead for 10 minutes, in the stand mixer or by hand.

Let the dough rise in a greased bowl (I used the same bowl).

Spray or brush it with oil and let it rise 30 minutes or until doubled.

Punch it down and form it into a log.

Put it in a well-greased loaf pan and grease the top with spray.

 Preheat oven to 425ºF.

 Let the dough rise for about ten more minutes until it's pretty much doubled.

 Slice the top with a sharp bread knife or any serrated knife.

Bake at 425º for about 10 minutes and then lower the heat to 350º and bake for 5-15 minutes more.

You'll want the top to be very brown. When it's done it should slide easily out of your greased pan and it should sound hollow if you tap it. Allow to cool before cutting... if you can wait.
