Homemade Egg Noodles

I recently used my pasta attachment for my Kitchen Aid for the first time and the first time I used it, I didn't read the instructions, I tried to just do what I have seen done on cooking shows. My first attempt was OK, but I was on a mission to master this art.

Tonight I decided to whip out the old Kitchen Aid and try again. I am pleased to say it was a complete success and the pasta texture, thickness and taste was AMAZING!

I found this recipe on Pinterest at: http://www.examiner.com/article/homemade-egg-noodles

Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
3 large to large egg yolks
1/4 to 1/2 cup water

Directions:
Using the paddle attachment, mix ingredients for 30 seconds.  Change to dough hook attachment.  Mix for 2 minutes until dough forms a ball.  Remove dough ball from mixer and knead by hand for 1-2 more minutes.  Add extra flour as needed to keep dough from sticking to surface.  Dough should be smooth and pliable.  Allow dough to rest for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, dough can be rolled and cut using pasta-cutting machine (use your machine’s specific directions) and can then be cooked immediately or refrigerated for cooking later.
Whether you’re using an electronic pasta-rolling machine (such as the Kitchen Aid) or you are rolling by hand, ensure that your pasta sheets remain well-floured. 

Before boiling, cut pasta can be laid on large cookie sheets to keep pasta from clumping.  Again, ensure noodles are well-floured.

Fresh pasta cooks quickly.  Thin pastas will cook in 2 1/2-3 minutes.  Thicker pastas may require 4 minutes.

Our Sourdough Adventure - The Skinny on a Starter.

Image
 To say I love bread would be an understatement. This year we decided on more than one occasion to take up the joy of undertaking the art of sourdough. Earlier in the year, my little starter went rancid because I forgot to feed my baby, but this time around, I am committed and I plan on keeping my starter for years.  This time around with my, or should I say our Sourdough Starter, because I wanted to teach my kids some life skills and what better way to teach them these amazing life skills, then with the art of making this amazing sourdough starter. It's fun too!!!! Nicholas was totally into it! He wanted to be the "SOURDOUGH MASTER" as he called it.  So, I let him join me in the kitchen for this fun little adventure. And it's been quite the adventure of feeding our little Sourdough Baby/babies... I'll get into the babies later... Just don't do what I did and go overboard. I had I think about 6 starters at once going. I didn't think it through. LOL I have

Spaghetti Squash with Southwest Chicken

After years of cooking and sharing recipes, I have finally put together my blog site. Its been a long journey in cooking for friends and family. It wasn't until recently that I was given the confidence to actually create a blog and share everything I have learned and am still learning in the kitchen. I recently was given the opportunity to air on live tv with Good Day Sacramento.  It was quite the experience. Friends and family told me I was a natural on tv, but what they didn't see on tv was how extremely nervous me. My mom and my husband were there calming me down.  After each take, I would let out a big "Whew" and ask how I did.  Apparently my nervousness did not show when the camera was rolling. Thank Goodness! I would like to share the recipe of my dish on Good Day Sacramento with all of you. Spaghetti Squash is that ingredient that we all seem to forget about. It's amazing and very good for you to eat. I think when people look at a spaghetti squash,

Thanksgiving Leftovers Breakfast

Are you ever stumped on what to do with all the leftovers in your fridge? Do you ever look at those leftovers on Day 2 and think, if I have to eat turkey or ham one more time....... Well let me tell you, you can make different things with those amazing leftovers in your fridge!!!  I am all about zero waste in our house, so I really like to get creative if I can and that's just what I did this morning and it's what I'm about to do tonight for dinner... and no one will ever know!!! It's going to make completely different meals using those leftovers you have right there in your fridge.  Some go for Turkey soup, Turkey ala king (which actually use to be my favorite as a kid), turkey pot pie, etc. But why just go for the basics when we can kick it up even further and have some fun with these leftovers... I don't know about you, but most of the time when I throw something into a casserole, we eat it for the first and maybe the second night and then I'll end up throwin
