Crusty Flat Bread ~ World of Warcraft

2012-02-27T09:00:00.000-05:00

You will need:

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups water

Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl.

Mix in the butter with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal.

Add the water and mix until the dough comes together; place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin, round shape.
They don't have to be perfect, mine weren't.

Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly and golden; flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side.

Place the cooked flat bread on a cookie sheet to cool and continue cooking the remaining dough.

I stored mine in an empty hamburger bun bag. Place on a cookie sheet and reheat in oven as needed.

Yum!

I used mine to make homemade pizza crusts, served beef stew on top of them. Really anything you can think of these would be a perfect addition.

River Sand ~ Final Fantasy

2012-02-24T09:00:00.000-05:00

I used the same recipe from Skyrim's Boiled cream treat. To me, this dessert looks like a rocky and sandy riverbed.

2 c milk
1/4 c white sugar
3 eggs
1/2 c flour
1/3 c white sugar
2 tbs butter
1 tsp vanilla extract

You will need:

In a heavy saucepan, stir together the milk and 1/4 cup of sugar.

Bring to a boil over medium heat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs.
Stir together the remaining sugar and flour; then stir them into the egg until smooth.

When the milk comes to a boil, drizzle it into the bowl in a thin stream while mixing so that you do not cook the eggs.

Return the mixture to the saucepan, and slowly bring to a boil, stirring constantly so the eggs don' t curdle or scorch on the bottom.

When the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, remove from the heat.

Stir in the butter and vanilla, mixing until the butter is completely blended in.
Pour into a heat-proof container and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

I put a couple handfuls of vanilla wafers in a bag and crushed them with a rolling pin.
I used an empty bread bag, I recycle.

Put a few crushed vanilla wafers in the bottom of a bowl.

Then a few scoops of pudding.

Edible River Sand. Yum!

And top it off with more crushed vanilla wafers.

Skyrim ~ Sweet Roll

2012-02-22T09:00:00.000-05:00

When planning this recipe my first thought was a cinnamon roll, that is what I thought the in game sweet roll looked like. But, I did not ant to make another cinnamon roll recipe so here is my take on Skyrim's sweet roll.

It is similar to a Hawaiian Sweet Roll but I altered the recipe a bit. I also iced one with some pineapple flavored icing but the rolls just plain are quite sweet and pineapple-y.

Here is the iced one.

You will need:

2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast

1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

3 eggs

11/2 cup pineapple juice

3/4 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 cups all-purpose flour

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.

Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

When it smells like funky beer. It's ready.

In a large bowl, beat the yeast mixture, eggs, pineapple juice, sugar, ginger, vanilla.

The is what the dough looks like after 3 cups of flour have been added.

Here is the full 6 cups.

Gradually stir in flour until a stiff batter is formed

Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.

See how much higher it is. Yay!

Turn the dough onto a well floured surface. It will be sticky and stretchy. Use a knife or pull it apart to make balls.

Divide the dough into 2 - 2 1/2oz pieces and form loosely into round balls.

Don't have a food scale. It is about the 2 inches in diameter or you can cup it in the palm of your hand.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

You can eyeball them so they are close to the same size.

Place the balls into a lightly greased cake pans or dish.

Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until tops are golden brown.

Yum!

Final Fantasy ~ Dark Pretzel

2012-02-20T09:00:00.000-05:00

Delicious stack of chocolate.

It may be a dark pretzel but it makes me happy just thinking about it.

You will need:

Pretzel Rods or Large Twists, makes 24
I used rods, for personal preference. When I buy the large twisted pretzels, they are often smashed.
Bag of melting chocolate or 2 bags of chocolate chips
Oreos, crushed

Set the chocolate on a double boiler and melt.
Remove from heat when melted.

Crush Oreos into small pieces.

I used a spoon to pour the chocolate over the pretzel rod. My pan wasn't big enough to dip.
I also wanted a bit of uncovered pretzel to hold onto.

Working quickly~
Lay chocolate pretzel onto crushed cookies and roll or toss cookies on top of it.
Move to drying tray or lined pan.
This does go fast, if you hold the pretzels to long the cookies will slide off.
We can't have that!

I let mine dry for about an hour and a half. I watched to 45 minutes shows of Netflix.
Yes, I go by Netflix time.
And that were completely dry. After then posed for the photos. I boxed them up and refrigerated them.
Don't frees them. That is how chocolate gets weird and develops white spots. I don't know why, it just does.
They will be fine for weeks in an air tight container in the fridge.

Yum!

Cactus Apple Surprise ~ World of Warcraft

2012-02-17T09:00:00.000-05:00

You will need:

And six pretty apples.

6 medium apples

1 cup orange juice
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup crushed walnuts, toasted
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup honey

Remove a 1/2-inch slice from tops of the apples.
With a melon baller or a spoon remove core, stopping about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the apple.

In a medium bowl combine oats, brown sugar, almonds, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Stir in softened butter until combined.
Arrange the prepared apples in a baking dish

Fill and top apples with oat mixture.

When ready to bake, pour remaining orange juice around the apples and cover with foil.

Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 50 minutes.

Check them at 30 minutes and again at 45.
I baked them for 50 minutes and I baked them too long.
You can see they started falling apart.

Remove foil; bake for 10 to 15 minutes more or until tender.

Cool about 30 minutes.
Transfer to a platter or plates and drizzle with honey.
Server hot with ice cream or cold with vanilla yogurt.

I had neither, I am a sad panda.

Toxic Oozling ~ World of Warcraft

2012-02-15T09:00:00.001-05:00

Broll Bearmantle showing off his new pet, the toxic oozling.

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt

Mix sugar and butter together.

Add eggs and chocolate.

Spread in a greased baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Good job! Now smash it into pieces! And add a cupful of icing.

Roll into balls and set on a tray. Let chill in fridge until they hold together. (4 hours)

Here you have 2 choices:
You can melt white chocolate, add a few drops of green food coloring and drop brownie balls and coat with chocolate.
Set on a tray till chocolate hardens.

Or:

Make a thin icing and poured it over the balls. Smooth it around with a knife. It takes a few hours for it to dry completely.
Both are messy and equally delicious.

Let dry.

Yum!

Pandarian Red Salad ~ World of Warcraft Expansion Idea

2012-02-13T09:00:00.000-05:00

You will need:

Salad:
4 c shredded red cabbage
1 c water chestnuts (optional)
1/2 c shredded carrots
2c green apples (chopped)
4 stalks celery (chopped)

Red cabbage looking pretty on the inside.

Dressing:
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c lemon juice
1/4 c orange juice
1/2 tsp grated ginger

Candied Walnuts:
1 c walnuts
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon

In a large bowl, toss together cabbage, water chestnuts, apples, celery and carrots.

Whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, orange juice and ginger; pour over cabbage mixture and toss together.
My husband didn't like the "dressing" so I kept it separate.
Two teaspoons was plenty per bowl.
Sprinkle with candied walnuts.

To make candied walnuts, place 1 cup walnuts and 1/2 cup sugar in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and turns light brown.
I have to add a bit of liquid to the mixture to get it to stick to the walnuts.

Toss to coat walnuts. Remove skillet from heat; stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Allow to cool before adding to salad.
Store in a seal-able container.

Yum!

Cup of Tasty Frosting ~ Lord of the Rings

2012-02-10T09:00:00.000-05:00

You will need:

1/2 c (one stick) butter, softened
2 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla flavoring (I used butter rum flavoring)
2-4 tsp milk

Mix softened butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar until incorporated

Add second cup of powdered sugar and mix.
Add vanilla flavoring and mix.

If the icing is too thick add a teaspoon of milk at a time and stir until its consistency is just where you want it.

It also helps, after making Tasty Frosting, to have a Delicious Chocolate Cake handy.

Yum!

2012-02-08T09:00:00.000-05:00

A sweet and spicy cookie cut into the shape of a legendary black mage said to have recovered MP by eating the crispy treats.

Beat in the egg.

Gradually stir the sifted ingredients.

Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven.

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Goldshire Pudding ~ World of Warcraft Expansion Idea

2012-02-06T09:00:00.000-05:00

"What Happens in Goldshire, stays in Goldshire."

I can see this as a daily cooking quest in Stormwind.

-Collect 3 eggs and a bag of flour. Quest reward is a goblin engineered slot machine that for 5 silver you can pull the handle and get the chance at willing a prize.
The prizes? I dunno, What do you think would make a great prize?

You will need:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
3 eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup beef drippings

Mix flour and salt together until blended.

Make a well in the flour, add the milk, and whisk until consistent.
Beat the eggs into the batter.

Add water and beat again until the mixture is light and frothy.

Pour drippings into a 9x12 inch baking dish and place into the oven until the drippings sizzle.

Pour the batter over the drippings and bake for 30-45 minutes (or until the sides have risen and are golden brown). It will puff up, nicely.
Cut into eight portions and serve immediately.

Yum!

This was delicious! It smelled like a fresh loaf of bread and a roast beef cooking at the same time. Wonderful! I served it with the roast beef I got the drippings from, a vegetable and a salad. It looks funky but I assure you, you won't be disappointed.

Spiced Nerf Milk ~ Star Wars The Old Republic

Vegetable Soup ~ Skyrim

2012-01-30T09:00:00.000-05:00

You will need:
(I forgot to add the bag of frozen veggies and the 2 cups of rice to the photo below. So sorry.)

2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 of a green pepper
1 can black beans
1 c muchrooms
1 c baby carrots
6 cups beef, chicken or vegetable broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes with juice
2 c rice
1 (16 ounce) bag of frozen mixed veggies
salt and pepper to taste

Cut up the vegetables into bite size pieces.
I used a beef stock base.
(I made a beef stew a few weeks ago and I saved and froze the broth that was leftover after everyone ate the beef, potatoes and vegetables. I am so glad I did, it saved me from buying or making more stock.)

The best thing about soup is you can put anything in it. You need a base broth of vegetable, chicken or beet stock then the rest is up to you.

I put everything in a crockpot and let it simmer all day.

If you don't want to use a crock pot, here are directions for stovetop.
Add your choice of broth and bring to a boil.
Add carrots, celery, green peppers and beans.
Boil for 10 minutes, then add.
Mushrooms, tomatoes, bag of mixed vegetables and rice.
Boil for 10 more minutes until rice in tender.
Set to low heat until everything is soft.
Taste test to make sure everything is tender enough for you, be careful!

Yum!

2 cups all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Remove to wire rack to cook completely. Here is a photo of what the bottoms look like. Chocolate cookies are a bugger to tell if they are done. You have to watch the top, when it looks dry, it is done.

To Make Filling:
Cream 3/4 cup margarine and 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar in bowl until light and fluffy.
Blend in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk.

2012-01-25T09:00:00.000-05:00

If you are hungry, then you have come to the right place my friend! Dumplings are the traditional food of the Lunar Festival; it has been served since the time of the first Lunar Festival, and I am pleased to be able to offer it at this one.

The batter will thicken if you let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Drop by teaspoonfuls into the hot oil and fry on both sides until golden.

They look a bit funky, not to worry, pull the stray crispies off and you are good to go.

Drain on paper towels or a rack and roll in 1/2 cup white sugar while still warm.

Yum!

Sand Pear Pie ~ World of Warcraft

2012-01-23T09:00:00.000-05:00

I've made a wonderful discovery, Night Elf. On the uncorrupted part of the island grows a remarkable fruit called the sand pear. They're found near the bottoms of the trees.

I've been preparing pies from them, but if I'm not careful, the elekk will start to wander over and steal my fruit. I've taken to gathering enough to share with the animals, but my stores are gone and the craving for pie has returned. Would you be willing to help gather the fruit I need for another batch of pies? I promise I'll share! -Aonar at Kessel's Crossing

You will need:

CRUST:
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
2 tablespoons cold water

FILLING:
1/2 c packed brown sugar
4 tbs flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp salt
1 dash ground nutmeg
6 c thinly sliced peeled pears (2 cans pear halves)
1 tbs lemon juice

TOPPING:
2/3 c all-purpose flour
1/3 c packed brown sugar
1/3 c cold butter or margarine

Crust:
In a bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly.
Sprinkle with water; toss until mixture is moist enough to shape into a ball.
On a floured surface, roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. pie pan. Flute edges.
I've made pie crust before, here is a link to directions.

Filling:
Combine filling ingredients; spoon into the crust.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 45 - 60 minutes.

If you are using canned pears you can skip the baking part of this step.

Topping:
For topping, combine flour and brown sugar; cut in butter until crumbly.
Sprinkle over filling.

Bake 45 minutes longer until top is brown.
Wrap foil around edges if you feel the edges are going to burn.

Yum!

Dog Meat ~ Skyrim

2012-01-20T09:00:00.000-05:00

I assure you...

No dogs were hurt in the making of this recipe.

You will need:

1/2 c ketchup
1/4 c prepared yellow mustard
1 c crumbs or your choice
Grind them up to a powder, I left mine in large chunks and the bigger pieces fell off in baking.
1 (16 ounce) package hot dogs

I used saltines but i wasn't very happy with it. I believe it would much much better with:

Fritos Corn Chips
Thick Cut or Ruffled Chips (the chips in the photo were too thin and turned mushy)
Flavored Crackers

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Stir together ketchup and mustard on a plate until mixed.
Place the cracker crumbs in a shallow bowl.

Roll each hot dog in the ketchup mixture, then roll in the crumbs to coat.

Place onto prepared baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven until the hot dogs are hot on the inside, and crispy on the outside, 15 to 20 minutes.

I plan to try these again with a different coating. They were good!

Not quite a Yum!

More like a Y......um?

Citrus Beef with Noodles ~ World of Warcraft Expansion Idea

2012-01-16T09:00:00.000-05:00

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ginger

Other cake recipes

Delicious Chocolate Cake Carrot Cupcake Conjured Mana Cake

Air cake was a dessert originally created on Corellia. They were served at the Vor-cal Feast prior to the Battle of Endor.

You will need:

12 eggs

1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar

Meanwhile, sift confectioners' sugar and flour together; set aside.

Add cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on high speed.

Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar is dissolved and stiff peaks form.
This is what soft peaks look like. They resemble the tip of a soft serve ice cream cone.

Fold in flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time.

Spoon into an ungreased pan.
I used a silicone baking pan, it's flexible and makes removing the cake easier.
Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.

This is the pan I used, they come in different colors.

Immediately invert pan; cool completely before removing cake from pan.
Once it if cooled completely, remove from the pan.

1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar

When the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, remove from the heat.

Refrigerate until chilled before using. You just made pudding, congratulations!

I put the pudding into a Boston Cream pie. Yum!
I used the Conjured Mana Cake recipe for the cake.

Fun with Kool-Aid Week here at The Gamer's Fridge.

Venturing through the Outlands yesterday I ran across a vendor selling these babies.

Diamond Berries

Being raised in Azeroth I had never seen this type of snack before. So tangy and sweet I knew I had to get the recipe.

You will need:

6 cups water

1 cup sugar

1 Kool-Aid packet, any flavor

I choose Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade

It's my favorite.

Combine water, sugar and Kool-aid packet. Stir.

I left it in the freezer over night.

I used a plastic mixing bowl and after it was frozen. I squeezed the sides of the bowl to loosen it.
If you have any Kool-Aid that doesn't fit into your container, fill some ice cubes with it.
I'll make blue ice cubes and drop them into red Kool-Aid. Fun!

Chopped it up with a knife.
I used them as rough cut ice cubes in a different flavored glass of Kool-Aid.
Or eat as is.

Yum!
