hi i wanted to rewrite the butterscotch cinnamon pie recipe i borrowed as of this post now that I’ve made it maybe 5-6 times and have messed with variables and made things easier for myself, though maybe it’s more convoluted to read

I’ve made my own pastry crust a few times but none of them were to my liking. graham cracker crusts forever ok.

in a medium saucepan:

-1 cup brown sugar

-1/4 cup water

bring to a boil, stirring. once thick and bubbling, turn off heat

in a bowl or maybe a measuring cup:

-5 tblsp heavy cream

-2 tblsp butter

-1 3/4 cups milk

RESERVE 6 TBLSP OF THE MILK/CREAM, but go ahead and put the rest into the saucepan and mix

in a second bowl, mix:

-6 tblsp of that milk/cream that I told you to reserve you reserved it right

-2 egg yolks

-1/2 tsp salt

-4 tblsp cornstarch (i recommend putting the cornstarch in last, so you can immediately start mixing it and it doesn’t become a Brick in the bottom of the bowl/measuring cup)

continue whisking this cornstarch mixture and ladle in maybe 3-4 ladle-fulls of the saucepan mixture to temper the eggs. Then pour it into the saucepan mixture. turn the heat back on, to med-high, stirring constantly until thickened (and i Mean constantly, bc it will just very suddenly turn thick) maybe 2 minutes

add and mix in:

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

maybe make some whip cream to put on top when you’re ready to eat it but honestly it’s fine without it

okay, look: brie cheese is absolutely the best. if you want some FANCY shit, go for triple-cream brie or even the St Andres stuff (i get that for my mom as a gift), cheap brie is good but this is one of the few things where you can taste the quality.

brie accompaniments: fig jam. get some fig jam and brie it’s SO GOOD. it’s fruity and sweet but has a depth of flavor that goes amazingly with the brie. i just have a jar in my fridge, it’s a small purchase but lasts forever.

-mikes hot honey (you like spice? GREAT on brie, just maybe don’t mix with the jam)

crackers: if you can, the FIREHOOK crackers are the absolute fucking best for brie and fig jam, even if they’re expensive (try it at least once if you can, but i think the brand is region locked to new england). if not, a bagget sliced thinly and baked for like 10 minutes also makes super good crackers

i’m sorry i just have so many thoughts on brie… it’s my moms favorite cheese and i’ve been eating it sense i was a kid. try brie with fig jam on a wheat cracker. it’s so amazing.

THANK YOU ANON I AM TAKING NOTES

19Aug22 // Made the most delicious caramelized onion crustless quiche! My Dad gave me a bunch (and I mean a bunch) of his old cooking magazines since he saw how much I enjoyed reading them! I’ve made it my goal to try 2 new recipes a month, next I will attempt to make bread!

Only 3 more days until the fall semester begins, I’m a bit anxious and excited to get back into the routine of work + classes + studying. This summer has been so busy I feel like I barely had a chance to fully enjoy it, nonetheless I’m glad it was productive and full of research!

Here’s a quick recipe for my Special Soup that i’ve been making for years!

~This soup can be completely vegan!~

Ingredients:

• 1 cup choice of grain (I like to use a minute blend with a long grain wild rice blend and quinoa, but white rice is also just a fine!)

• 2 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth

• salt, pepper, basil, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme - all to taste

• broccoli, kale (optional)

Directions:

> boil broth and grain choice together on medium heat, covered

>remove once rice is tender, add all herbs and spices while soup amid fresh from the stove!

That’s it! That easy! I like making it on chilly or rainy days, and all of these herbs and spices are connected to healing, happiness, protection, strength, luck, wisdom, and purification so it’ll make you feel extra good :^)

Blessings friends!✨
