Yorkshire Pudding

Only four ingredients and you have something crispy, gooey and delicious. Well, you have too delicious foods.

One is Yorkshire Pudding. Forever loved by the British. If we could peek into every house on a Sunday we would must likely see Yorkshire Pudding and roast beef.

The second is Popovers. Again four simple ingredients and you have something wonderful. The deference in the two is the beef fat. Yorkshire pudding uses beef drippings and popovers do not. Both are lovely indeed.




Yorkshire Pudding

beef drippings
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour

Rub the pan or muffin tins with beef drippings. Mix together eggs, milk and flour. Pour into pan and bake 450 for 20 minutes. Reduce to 350 and bake another 20 minutes.

End of Vegan Week

My vegan challenge is over and I learned much and missed cheese.

My first trip to the store was no too bad. I grabbed some beans, soy yogurt, veggies, fruit and bread. I managed to whip up something for every meal. I later had a hard time buying non-dairy margarine at a big grocery store. I really did not feel or look any different at the end of the week. I was hoping for a glow! I was told a story of a person who went vegan and she glowed.

I am now back to cooking and eating fresh food. And, cheese!

My Vegan Challenge

I am scheduled to give a talk about the vegan diet next week. So, I have decided to give the vegan diet a try for one week. Starting tomorrow no meat, no diary and no animal products. This will certainly be a challenge, but I am up for it. I have plenty of non-dairy creamer for my coffee!

I will update my progress next week.


Vegetarian Awareness Week is the 2nd week in September
