Potato Corn Chowder

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 14:00:00 +0000

This Potato Corn Chowder bursts with the comforting flavors of tender potatoes and sweet corn in a creamy base. It is easy and quick to prepare and a perfect dish for a cold evening or a cozy meal.

This chowder begins with cooking the bacon until crispy. Then it’s time for sautéing onions, garlic, and celery, creating a savory base for the dish. Add diced potatoes, which bring a satisfying, starchy texture that thickens the soup as it cooks. The star ingredient, corn, brings a natural sweetness that beautifully contrasts with the creamy, velvety broth.

This potato corn chowder recipe is versatile, letting you adjust it to suit your tastes, whether you prefer a lighter broth or a thicker, creamier consistency. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers, and enjoy this satisfying soup as a delicious way to savor the simple yet comforting flavors of potatoes and corn.

How to make this easy potato corn chowder

To start, cook diced bacon in a large soup pot over medium-high heat until it’s browned and crispy. Once the bacon is crispy, transfer it to a bowl and set it aside. Leave the rendered fat in the pot for added flavor.

Next, add diced onion and celery to the pot, cooking until softened, which should take about five minutes. This builds a savory base for your chowder. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Now it’s time to add your broth—vegetable or chicken—along with diced potatoes, corn kernels, dried thyme, salt and pepper. If you’re using fresh corn, don’t forget to toss in the cobs for that extra burst of flavor! Cover the pot, bring it to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender, checking occasionally to stir. If you want a creamier chowder, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot as they cook!

After 15 minutes, carefully remove the corn cobs. Now it’s time to add the cream. Gently heat the soup without bringing it to a boil, as boiling can cause the cream to separate. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch more salt or pepper if needed. Remember, the flavors will deepen as they meld together!

Finally, ladle the chowder into bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs and those crispy bacon bits for an extra touch of flavor.

Hope you will try it out and enjoy this warm and hearty dish. It is perfect for chilly days or any time you need a little comfort food.

Chicken Apple Skillet

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 08:13:42 +0000

This Chicken Apple Skillet is a flavorful, hearty dish that combines seasoned chicken with the sweet, tangy notes of apples. To prepare, sear boneless chicken breasts or thighs until golden brown, locking in their natural juices. Next, add thinly sliced apples, such as Gala or Honeycrisp, which bring a sweet balance to the savory chicken. A sprinkle of herbs like thyme or rosemary enhances the aroma and adds an earthy note to the dish.

Deglaze the skillet with chicken or vegetable stock and add garlic, honey and apple cider vinegar to create a light, flavorful sauce that ties the ingredients together. As the dish simmers, the sweet and savory flavors meld into a delicious harmony, with the apples softening just enough to complement the tender chicken.

Serve this chicken apple skillet over mashed potatoes, rice, or alongside roasted vegetables for a comforting, satisfying meal. With its simple preparation and perfectly balanced flavors, this dish makes an excellent choice for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special autumn meal.

How to make Chicken Apple Skillet

To start, cut your chicken breast into even ¾ inch or 2 cm strips, ensuring uniform size so they cook evenly.

Next, season the chicken generously with salt and pepper on both sides and sprinkle with dried thyme or rosemary.

Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring the pan is hot before adding the chicken. Place the seasoned chicken strips in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, so the chicken sears properly. Cook the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, allowing it to develop a golden brown crust while locking in the juices. You’ll know the chicken is ready to flip when it easily releases from the pan. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate.

How to prepare the apples and the sauce

In the same skillet, add your apple slices, making sure they’re spread out in an even layer to ensure proper caramelization. Cook the apples for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, turning them carefully once they soften and begin to brown.

I’ve used Gala apples for their natural sweetness and firm texture, but Honeycrisp apples or Granny Smith apples will be as good. Feel free to choose the variety that best suits your taste.

Next, stir in finely minced garlic and pour in your chicken or vegetable stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits that have stuck to the bottom. Add honey, butter and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, allowing all the flavors to meld together. As it cooks, the sauce will reduce slightly, filling the kitchen with a delightful sweet and savory aroma.

Once the sauce is ready, return the chicken to the skillet, making sure each piece is tossed and coated in the flavorful mixture. Allow the chicken to warm through and absorb some of the sauce, creating a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors.

For a final touch, garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme. Serve your chicken apple skillet alongside creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or crusty bread to soak up every last bit of that delicious sauce.

And there you have it, a simple yet flavorful Chicken Apple Skillet, perfect for any occasion. Hope you will try it out and enjoy it as much as we did. If you do, don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how it turns out for you.

Apple Crumble Muffins

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 13:55:48 +0000

These Apple Crumble Muffins are a delightful combination of soft, moist muffins, infused with juicy apple pieces topped with a crunchy, buttery crumble. These treats begin with a tender muffin base, flavored with cinnamon and packed with juicy apple chunks. The muffins are made even more irresistible with the addition of a golden-brown crumble topping made from flour, sugar, butter, and a touch of cinnamon, adding a crisp texture that contrasts beautifully with the soft interior.

Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, these muffins capture the essence of autumn in every bite. The apples bring natural sweetness and moisture, while the crumble topping offers a satisfying crunch. They can be made with a variety of apples, from tart Granny Smith to sweet Gala, depending on your flavor preference. Serve them warm, fresh out of the oven, or store them for later enjoyment. Pair them with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy treat.

Easy to make and loved by the whole family, these Apple Crumble Muffins are a comforting treat perfect for any occasion.

How to make apple crumble muffins

Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a 12-cavity muffin pan with paper liners. Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces, tossing them with a tablespoon of flour in a medium bowl. This little trick will help keep the apples from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. Set aside.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a large bowl, mix eggs with sugar and vanilla extract. For the best results, make sure the eggs are at room temperature. Start mixing slowly at first, then increase speed until the mixture becomes creamy and fluffy. Gradually, begin to incorporate the oil, pouring it in a slow, steady stream while you continue to mix.

Next, slowly alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk into the wet mixture, a little at a time. Be careful not to overmix, as we want to keep the batter light and airy. Once everything is just combined, go ahead and add the apple pieces. Using a spatula, gently fold them into the batter. Take your time to ensure the apple pieces are evenly distributed throughout, so every bite is packed with juicy apples.

Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling them just below the top.

How to make the crumb topping

For the crumb topping, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter in a medium bowl, until the mixture forms a nice, crumbly texture.

Sprinkle the crumbs on top of each muffin, ensuring they’re all well-covered for that perfect crunchy finish on every bite.

Bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Once done, let them cool slightly, just enough so they’re warm but not too hot.

Now it’s time to enjoy these delicious apple crumble muffins! Give them a try, I’m sure you’ll fall in love with them just like we did. If you do, don’t forget to tag me in your Instagram stories or posts. Enjoy!

This dessert starts with a light, spongy vanilla base that is generously filled with juicy peach slices and fresh raspberries, making every bite bursting with fresh fruit flavor. A thin, layer of homemade peach sauce is spread over the cake.

The cake is then beautifully topped with a creamy layer of peach yogurt mousse. Fresh raspberries are carefully folded into the mousse, adding a pop of vibrant color and a burst of tartness.

How to make raspberry peach yogurt mousse cake

Begin by preparing the raspberry peach sponge cake. While the cake is baking continue with preparing the peach sauce. Let them both cool completely and prepare the raspberry peach yogurt mousse. Assemble the cake and let it set for 4-6 hours in refrigerator. Decorate as desired and enjoy!

How to prepare the raspberry peach sponge cake

Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C), grease an 8-inch (20 cm) pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a medium bowl, whisk the yolks with 1/4 cup (50g) sugar and vanilla extract until creamy and pale yellow. Gradually mix in the oil and water. Incorporate the flour and baking powder into the yolk mixture and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with salt until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar (50g) and continue mixing until soft peaks form. Gently fold a spoonful of whipped whites into the yolk mixture, then fold the yolk mixture back into the remaining whipped whites.

In a separate bowl, toss the chopped peaches and raspberries with 2 tablespoons of flour, then gently fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan to cool completely on a rack.

How to prepare the peach sauce

Meanwhile, prepare the peach sauce by placing chopped peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes, until the peaches are tender and the sauce thickens. Set aside to cool, reserving 3 tablespoons (45g) for spreading on the sponge cake.

How to prepare the peach yogurt mousse.

Dissolve the gelatin in cold water and let it swell for 5-10 minutes. In a large bowl, mix the yogurt with powdered sugar and the remaining peach sauce. Dissolve the gelatin over low heat and stir it into the peach yogurt mixture. In another bowl, whip the chilled cream until stiff peaks form and gently fold it into the peach yogurt mixture. Finally, fold in the fresh raspberries.

How to assemble the peach yogurt mousse cake

To assemble the cake, invert the sponge cake onto a serving platter and spread the reserved peach sauce evenly over the top. Place a cake ring around the cake and line it with an acetate sheet. Pour the peach raspberry yogurt mousse over the cake and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.

Before serving, decorate the cake with fresh raspberries and peach slices, then dust with powdered sugar.

Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 14:11:31 +0000

These Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips are a delightful and healthy appetizer or snack option, perfect for satisfying your crunchy cravings. Enjoy these zucchini chips on their own, or pair them with your favorite dip for an extra treat. They are a delicious way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet without compromising on flavor or texture.

These chips begin with fresh zucchini, sliced into thin rounds to ensure an even, crispy texture. Each slice is first dredged in flour, which helps the next layers adhere better, creating a perfect base for that extra crunch. Following the flour coating, the zucchini slices are dipped into beaten eggs and then coated into a breadcrumb and cornmeal mixture.

The combination of breadcrumbs and cornmeal is enhanced with a touch of oregano and a pinch of salt, adding a burst of flavor and a satisfying crunch with every bite. Once the zucchini slices are thoroughly coated, they are arranged in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring even cooking.

Baking these chips in the oven not only makes them healthier than their fried counterparts but also allows the zucchini to cook through while the exterior becomes perfectly golden and crispy.

How to make crispy baked zucchini chips

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with oil and set it aside. Next, cut the zucchini into ¼ inch (6mm) thick rounds and sprinkle them with salt. Allow the slices to sit for 5 minutes to draw out moisture.

In the meantime, beat the eggs in a deep plate. Prepare another plate with flour, and a third plate with a mixture of breadcrumbs, cornmeal, salt, and oregano.

Take each zucchini slice, dredge it in flour, dip it into the beaten egg, and coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them with olive oil and bake for 17-20 minutes until golden and crispy.

Serve immediately with Greek Tzatziki Sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Hope you will try these amazing baked zucchini chips. If you do, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how they turned out for you. Enjoy!

Blueberry Oat Crumble Bars

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 04:23:09 +0000

These Blueberry Oat Crumble Bars are a delightful treat perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. These bars feature a luscious blueberry filling sandwiched between layers of crumbly, buttery oat mixture.

The base and topping are made from a blend of rolled oats, flour, sugar, and butter, creating a rich and crispy crust that pairs perfectly with the juicy fruit center. The blueberry filling enhanced with lemon juice is bursting with flavor and balances perfectly the sweetness.

Easy to prepare, these bars come together in a few simple steps. First, press the oat mixture into a baking dish to form the crust, followed by a generous layer of blueberry filling. Crumble the remaining oat mixture on top before baking to golden perfection.

These Blueberry Oat Crumble Bars are not only delicious but also nutritious, providing a good source of fiber and antioxidants from the oats and blueberries. They are perfect for any time of day and are sure to satisfy both kids and adults alike.

How to make Blueberry Oat Crumble Bars

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Slightly grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) pan and line it with parchment paper, ensuring that the edges extend beyond the sides of the pan to make it easier to lift the bars out.

In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture combines well and crumbly. Press ⅔ of this crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.

Next, place the blueberries into a separate bowl. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch, then toss to coat the blueberries evenly. Spread the blueberry mixture over the crust in the pan.

Sprinkle the reserved ⅓ of the crumb mixture over the top of the blueberries.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
