Cooking Radishes?

They say you learn something new every day, well I learned something new today!
I bought radishes to use in salads. Well I used the other salad ingredients and still had several radishes left. I didn't know what to do with them as I'm not fond of radishes on their own. Cowboy suggested stirfrying them, I'd never heard of cooking radishes but Cowboy generally has good advice wherever he gives it!
So I did some googling for recipes and found this blog : http://www.cleancuisineandmore.com/how-to-cook-radishes/
Now I can't say I exactly FOLLOWED her recipe... more used it as a suggestion.
I sliced the radishes and threw them in the pan with peanut oil. I added some minced garlic, chopped an onion and fried it all up. Once the radishes and onions were soft I added the rice and corn that I had cooked separately. (I find the rice tastes better if I cook veggies with it)

If I do this again I probably would pepper it a bit, maybe use Olive oil rather than peanut maybe play with spices a bit as the radishes cook down to more of a sweet taste than anything.

My Favorite Bread Recipe

Good morning!
Last time I posted I talked about making bread so this morning I decided I'd share that recipe. Actually I'll be sharing two recipes; the original, bake-in-the-oven recipe and the modified throw-in-the-breadmachine recipe!


The Original.
Great as buns or loaves

One Hour Yeast Rolls (or Bread)
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup oil
2 T yeast
1tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
3 1/3 cup flour

Mix the first four ingredients and let proof (let the yeast bubble. I always loved this part as a kid)
Stir in the salt and the egg.
Add flour and let rise for 10 minutes.
Form rolls (or loaves) let rise for 20 minutes.
Place on/in greased and floured pans.
Bake @375 for 10 minutes (Rolls)
                          20 minutes (bread)

Enjoy!


The modified throw-it-in-the-machine-and-walk-away version

1 cup water
1/4 cup butter (half a stick)
1 egg
3 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp yeast.

In a microwavable container cut the butter into the water. Microwave for one minute. Beat in the egg and pour the mixture into the machine's pan. Add the rest of the ingredients in order. Set and walk away!
On my machine I set it on White, Light and Large and it comes out perfect :)

Enjoy!
