I am trying all kinds of new things, when it comes to food. Mainly I am baking new things, but I am also trying new ingredients (or foods). I have heard people who loved grilled pineapple, but I love it raw. So I finally gave it a try.
The process is very simple! Take a whole pineapple and slice it, then place it on the grill for a few moments. I was disappointed in the flavor, so I tried to add brown sugar.
The result was better, but still not great! In the end I think I will stick with the raw pineapple. A few days later I tried artichoke. I really don't know who decided these things look yummy, but I had to give it a try. After using my steamer, I peeled the leaves off and put them on a plate. I wish I had taken some pictures. At first I did not like the amount of work for the little bit of food. But once hit the heart I was much happier. I really think that its something I will see if I can buy pre-frozen. The frozen version will give me the flavor without so much of the work. Don't get me wrong I am not afraid of work, but this is a labor intensive vegetable.
My newest food adventure is homemade bran flakes. I know it seems a little crazy to make your own bran, but the stuff in the box tastes like the box. So I decided to give it a try. After mixing together the ingredients, I was worried I had lost my mind.
After spreading it out on the cookie sheet, it started to look a little better.
Once it cooked I was sure this was going the direction I hoped for.
The final bran is in jars, so that it is easy to store in my pantry. I have tried a few nibbles, and I could not be happier. I am sure this will be yummy with a touch of honey, and some milk in the morning. I can honestly say I will not be going back to the box stuff!
