Homemade Strawberry Cream Chocolates

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

I thought I would upgrade the challenge of making cream filled chocolates. Last week I made the perfect Orange Creams, and this week thought I would try strawberry. But a little more fancy than just the usual moulds.

I used small foil consetina cases, lined them with chocolate, then put in the strawberry filling, finally adding stripey decoration. Putting them in the fridge in between each stage to set. Then carefully removing the foil cup once all put together and left for a few hours in the fridge.

They look exactly as I meant them to, although intended to be slightly tidier, but they taste great, which is the main objective after all.

Homemade Black Seed Oil

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

Having had a very good spread of Nigella flowers this year, thought I’d try making cold pressed black seed oil. Crushed the seeds, put them in coconut oil and let it sit for a few weeks, stirring every day or so. Then strained and put in tincture bottles. I have another lot of seeds to do and have to try it out still, but it’s a start.

Homemade Cosmetics – recipes

As well as trying to get better and more proficient in baking and making healthier food, I decided along the way to try and use other homemade things. It’s not just food and drink that goes into our systems, it’s what we also put on our skin. So, thought it might be useful to have alongside my MKW Recipes for food, that I should have a handy post for the cosmetics, as well as the one I already have for dandelion infused ones. As with the food one, i’ll add to this as I find new combos or ideas.
