Plum cake with walnuts, tomatoes and Parmesan cheese and pear almond cake

In questi giorni sto facendo un po` di pulizia tra le mie riviste di cucina, perche` ne ho collezionate davvero tante ... troppe direi ... e non so piu` davvero dove metterle! Quindi ho diviso e ordinato those that have piled up and I decided to keep those who, instead, I decided to throw. But before giving the final farewell to those I have decided to throw, I gave them a last puff and ...... damn ....... mica know if the herdsman `...... I still find many interesting recipes! This plum cake, for example, I copied from an old issue of Modern Kitchen in 2006 and found it really good.

Copy the recipe as newsprint.

Best Thing For Aches And Joints

The other day, leafing through a magazine "Delicious", I was particularly attracted by this cake, 'cause involves the use of I personally love hazelnuts. But when I started work, I realized I have at home only almond flour so I used that instead of hazelnuts. I must say that the result 'was equally good.

Buttery Nipple And Milk

and Dip wholemeal bread

Damn, It 's been almost a month since last post!
But this time a little bit ... turbulent (including action to ankle of my daughter, more than two weeks ago, broke the ligaments and damaged a nerve playing basketball) the desire to cook is really reduced to a minimum.
`The other day but I dusted off an old notebook on which he had jotted down simple recipes (some very simple) and fast, had friends from years ago, So yesterday, since I had the ingredients at home, I prepared an appetizer first I went to dinner and, in addition to nachos, small crackers, even with the bread that I baked in the afternoon.


For the dip:
simply mix a jar of salsa for nachos, a box of cheese spread, parmesan cheese and some vegetables cut into very small cubes. Put in oven at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes or more.
(I did not put in the oven, I heated the sauce and vegetables in a saucepan, then I removed from the heat, I added the remaining ingredients and served)

For the bread:
500 g wheat flour, 350 ml warm water 100 ml warm milk, a packet of yeast, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, a drop of oil.
I put all the ingredients in the bread machine, program, and yeast mixture (total 1 hour and a half). I removed the dough from the basket, I quickly mixed up again (it will be 'soft and sticky) I moved into a bowl, cover and let rise about 3 hours. Again, I mixed up again quickly, spread the dough, rolled up and put in a box, closed the box and let rise for another hour, hour and a half. Bake in preheated oven at 220 for about 30 minutes. (I've really cooked to 250 degrees but it is a little bit too much).

Why, if there we are, is solo perche` non sono ancora riuscita a recuperarvi.
