However, adding diced chorizo or feta to the batter would upgrade it. Serve with any combination of these condiments: fresh herb salad with lemon and olive oil; sliced avocado, lime juice, coriander and chilli; or diced tomato, red onion, vinegar and olive oil.</li>

Here&#039;s an alternative, just for the sake of variation. You can play with the idea by adding chorizo or smoky bacon and omitting the smoked paprika. Eggs are another natural&nbsp;addition.</li>

Back in November, [Jean] found himself wanting a temperature logger that was roughly the size of a USB memory stick. What he found on the market was not quite adequate in terms of price or size, so he decided to design his own. His would be the size he wanted and wouldn&rsquo;t require any software or drivers to run. You simply plug it in, edit the configuration text file to set your intervals, and off you go!
<p>You can follow along through the entire design and fabrication on his site. He&rsquo;s really great about discussing why he made each decision and how he resolved any errors he ran into. You can download the schematics and source code on his site.</li>

<li><a href="http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/05/curried-peanut-spread.html" target="_blank">Curried Peanut Spread (Thai Satay Sauce) | Serious Eats : Recipes</a> &#8211; This peanut spread may not look like much. It borderlines on being aesthetically-challenged even. In fact, I have learned that when I serve it to friends, I shouldn&#039;t tell them right up front what&#039;s in it other than peanut butter. From my personal experience, many people find the idea of pairing Thai curry paste and peanut butter, well, disgusting.<br />
Instead, I let them taste it. Then I pause for a bit. I remain silent, observing&#8230;waiting until their eyes light up. And before they utter a word, I say, &quot;Satay sauce, right?&quot; The answer is always a resounding yes.</p>
<p>A more concentrated, thicker version of Thai-style satay sauce.<br />
And that&#039;s because this peanut spread is nothing but a more concentrated, thicker version of Thai-style satay sauce. It is developed from my mother&#039;s streamlined, easy peanut sauce recipe which has been with our family since before I was born. It contains the same main ingredients: roasted peanuts which have been ground into a paste, Thai red curry paste, and a few other seasoning ingredients. The only difference is the use of coconut milk powder (which, contrary to what some cookbooks say, is not pulverized, desiccated coconut meat but spray-dried coconut milk) in lieu of regular coconut milk in order to minimize the amount of liquid preventing it from being too runny.<br />
In other words, although you may find this curried peanut spread a bit unusual, if you&#039;re a Thai restaurant regular, its taste should not be too much of a shock to your palate. If you like Thai-style peanut sauce, I&#039;m going to wager that you&#039;ll like this sandwich spread.<br />
But satay sauce on, er, bread? Why, yes. If you have been to Thailand and had a chance to eat pork or chicken satay on the streets, surely you remember that your satay set comes with a plate of toast on the side. The idea of putting bread and peanut sauce together isn&#039;t strange at all.</li>

The purpose of this site is to aide web designers &amp; developers in speeding up sites by pinpointing which resources are not being gzipped by the server, which resources are slow and which resources are causing 404s.

My scanner is built using a Nokia 3310 LCD screen and an Arduino Pro Mini 3V version. The temperature probes are simple thermistors (see below for Jameco parts list).</li>

<p>Actually yesterday was a big mushroom day. I had some leftover<br />
roast field mushrooms with poached eggs for brunch.</p>
<p>Then for dinner the most heavenly mushroom ragu. So simple. </p>
<p>Just pop everything in the oven, stir once or twice and wait. Then<br />
dinner is ready.</p>
<p>I served mine on a bed of raw super finely sliced kale. But you<br />
could use it anywhere you&#039;d normally serve a stew or bolognese.</li>

<li><a href="http://urbanvegan.net/2012/04/lower-fat-vegan-raspberries-bars-and.html" target="_blank">lower-fat vegan raspberry bars and variations | urban vegan</a> &#8211; What&#039;s not to love about fruit bars? They&#039;re carb-y enough to comfort, fruity enough to qualify as at least semi-healthy, sugary enough to feed your sweet tooth, and best of all, they&#039;re a snap to throw together for brunch on Sunday morning or for dessert after a long day at the office. In fact, they&#039;re so easy to make that you can probably put your kids to work for most of this recipe.
<p>In my new quest to have my cake and eat it too, I &quot;healthified&quot; the traditional sugar-, fat- and white flour- laden fruit bar recipe by replacing much of the required oil with applesauce and cutting back some of the sugar. The result? Each serving contains only 133 calories and 3 grams of fat, plus a respectable amount of vitamin C, iron and fiber.&nbsp;As is the case with many of my recipes, this one is modular so please tailor it to fit your own tastes, dietary preferences and seasonality [See ideas for variations below]. Recipes should be springboards to creativity &ndash; not rules to be followed blindly.&nbsp;You can replace the raspberries with virtually any fruit, for example, and use any kind of flour you have on hand; I actually used sorghum flour, so you can even make these&nbsp;gluten-free. Let me know what you come up with!</li>

And I personally have friends who love it so much, they make me take them to Indian restaurants for lunches whenever possible. So here&#039;s a simple paneer recipe called &quot;Shahi Paneer&quot; that you can easily make at home! It is also by names like &quot;Paneer makhani&quot; or &quot;Paneer makhanvala&quot;. So no matter what name you are looking for, the technique remains the same:)</li>

<li><a href="http://funnfud.blogspot.co.uk/2007/08/akbari-paneer.html" target="_blank">Akbari Paneer &#8211; Fun and Food Blog</a> &#8211; Paneer, or Cottage Cheese, can be enjoyed in various forms, and I can totally relish eating just raw fresh paneer, but the avenues that it provides to cooking are just amazing! Add these cubes to any veggie curry and it transforms into something rich and delicious. So here&#039;s another rich and creamy variation that involved shredded paneer, and its my husband&#039;s absolute favourite. It&#039;s called Akbari Paneer. I first tasted it in a desi restaurant in california, and have been a fan ever since. It has now become a regular paneer delight in our house as it&#039;s simple to make and tastes great with any naan, bread or jeera rice!</li>
<li><a href="http://funnfud.blogspot.co.uk/2007/08/spicy-chilli-paneer.html" target="_blank">Spicy Chilli Paneer &#8211; Fun and Food Blog</a> &#8211; &quot;Variety is the spice of life&quot;- this shows how important spice is in anyone&#039;s life, so today we salute the ingredient which brings spice into our lives, literally. &quot;Chillies&quot; are available in various forms, shapes, sizes and colours, but the end result is always the same, something tasty and spicy. Today I share with you my recipe of Chilli Paneer. Its a favourite amongst elders and youngsters alike. With the succulent paneer (cottage cheese) coated and flavoured in soy sauce and green chillies, this dish is perfect to enjoy with rice or bread/parathas. And simple to cook, it takes not more than 15-20 mins!</li>
<li><a href="http://funnfud.blogspot.co.uk/2008/05/tandoori-paneer-tikka-with-mango.html" target="_blank">Paneer Tikka with Mango Sauce &#8211; Fun and Food Blog</a> &#8211; Tandoori Paneer Tikka &#8211; the name itself makes my mouth water!! Succulent cubes of paneer marinated and grilled or baked in a &quot;tandoori oven&quot;, then served with grilled vegetables, is enough to tempt anyone on earth. But this time around, inspired by combining the Indian and Asian tastes in one dish, I have tried a variation which still uses a spicy yogurt marinade, but the final Paneer Tikka is then served hot, drizzled with a home-made sweet and tangy mango dressing, and serves to be a perfect side-dish to an Indian meal. Sounds inviting, right? Just wait till you&#039;ve actually tasted it, maybe you wouldn&#039;t like leaving any for your guests!</li>
<li><a href="http://funnfud.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/kadhai-paneer.html" target="_blank">Kadhai Paneer &#8211; Fun and Food Blog</a> &#8211; If you are craving for a simple yet tasty Paneer recipe that won&#039;t take hours of preparation, and which you can savor with Rotis/Parathas/Naans or Rice, look no further. Kadhai Paneer is a healthy, nutritious, protein-rich and almost fat-free Indian curry that will leave you satisfied at the end of your meal. Flavored with kasuri-methi, ginger-garlic and a blend of mild Indian spices, it can be ready in a jiffy and can be a perfect accompaniment to bread or rice for a fulfilling weeknight dinner! Sending this over to Srivalli for Monthly Mingle, featuring Kid&#039;s Lunches this month!</li>
<li><a href="http://funnfud.blogspot.co.uk/2008/03/paneer-butter-masala-restaurant-style.html" target="_blank">Paneer Butter Masala &#8211; Restaurant Style Recipe &#8211; Fun and Food Blog</a> &#8211; I can eat Paneer Butter Masala almost every day, but this saturday, our cravings were at a peak-time high as there was light rain outside. Everyone knows I just love Paneer Recipes, and this weekend I decided to make the eternal favorite Paneer Butter Masala, that velvetty-smooth gravy that has all the goodness of indian spices combined with cubes of cottage cheese and garnished with cream and coriander! Now do I have your attention??! Paneer Butter Masala is similar to other paneer gravies, except that as the name implies, it is more rich due to butter and the gravy is thickened by using onions, tomatoes and cashew paste rather than just cream. You cannot go wrong with this, try it for yourself and see!
<p>Believe me, paneer is such a versatile ingredient in Indian cooking, you could make an entire meal using just this, right from appetizers to main course to dessert! Hey maybe they should choose paneer as the next secret ingredient for Iron Chef!:) Till then, try this mouth-watering recipe (adapted from Sanjeev Kapoor&#039;s cookbook) at home and enjoy its taste as it lingers on your tongue and your senses!</li>

Your weight can &quot;creep up&quot; on you, without you realising it, a little at a time.
<p>Here&rsquo;s a checklist of small changes that pay off in big rewards: a slimmer trimmer waistline.</li>
<li><a href="http://food52.com/blog/3242_homemade_graham_crackers" target="_blank">Homemade Graham Crackers &#8211; an article from Food52</a> &#8211; This is a simple dough that comes together in a few minutes in a stand mixer&mdash;then chills in the fridge for a bit. The key here is to roll the dough as thin as you can, then cut it with whatever tool you prefer. I use a little wooden tool called a jagger that I recovered from my grandmother&rsquo;s kitchen tools. It creates a slightly ruffled edge, which I love. Serve your graham crackers with nut butter, or (need I even say it?) stack with chocolate and charred homemade marshmallows for your very own s&rsquo;mores.</li>
