Homemade Bread Crumbs
There is nothing as beautiful as food that you make yourself from scratch especially if its stuff that you would normally buy like chocolate cake or this wonderful bread crumbs. You will be surprised how super easy it is. I had lots of bread crust left over from party where I served sandwiches so i decided to give this a go. its might easy and you can do it with whole slices of bread though its a great way to use left over crust.
Ingredients
left over crust or slices of bread or even old bread
spices (garlic powder, salt, dried bay leaves, basil, oregano, black pepper etc), optional
METHOD ONE (Fresh bread crumbs)
tear the bread or put the bread into a food processor or blender (i used a blender) and pulse till the bread is broken and looks like crumbs. DONE!!
METHOD TWO (Dried bread crumbs)
Follow the method of fresh bread crumbs, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. place the fresh bread crumbs on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes its slighly browned. Removed and wait to cool then store in an airtight container.
METHOD THREE (spiced bread crumbs)
Follow method two, but once the crumbs are dried return to the blender and add in the spices and pulse to mix well. Store in an air tight container.
HAPPY COOKING!!

Best Ever, Homemade French Fries/Chips
Chips are by far my favourite food. If you can call them food that is (-: I can not seem to get enough of them. In high school I ate them daily for lunch and for years and eat them at any opportunity. Its unfortunate that now I have to grow up and think about the health repercussions that come with eating too them too much but thank God for recipes like these baked rosemary and garlic fries that make eating fries healthy.
For years I have been cooking my chips twice. That is I deep fry them till half cooked, remove from the oil then refry them again. This gives the fries a really nice crunch to them. But when I saw the recipe for the “best fries in the world” as they called them on GoodFood magazine I just had to try it. The process is quite time consuming but trust me it is worth the stove time. HAPPY COOKING!!
Ingredients
- Potatoes, cut into chips/fries
- Oil for frying
- Salt to taste
- Garlic powder/ aromat (optional)
Instructions
Put the fries in a pot full of water, add in the salt and garlic powder/aromat. Bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes cook till slightly soft about 10 minutes. Drain off all the water. If you want them to be crunchier you could shake them inside the pot, softly.
Heat the oil till hot and put in the par boiled potatoes and cook till the potatoes begin to change color about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the oil and set aside.
Heat the oil again and put in the fries for a last time and cook to your desired level of crunch 🙂
