This is another simple recipe. There's only a few ingredients and I think it's pretty fool proof. These could be eaten plain as brownies, or topped with a mint icing as cupcakes. We opted to top them with So Delicious Mint Chip ice cream and were not disappointed. Makes 12 brownie/cupcakes: 1 cup flour … Continue reading Mint Chocolate Chip Brownies
I made these this past weekend, spur of the moment, since we had frozen blueberries and I just got a cute silicone heart mold (on sale). My favorite baking pan has been the donut one, hands down, because I can make anything and call it a donut and it instantly becomes more awesome. Now I … Continue reading Blueberry Muffins with Walnut Pecan Crumb Topping
Questions! 1. Favorite candle scent? I really love the smell of sandalwood and sage. Sweet candles are great, but they make me crave sweets...which is not great. 2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate? Tea...Sophia's Tea! 3. What's the best fall memory you have? Most recently..getting married in Central Park. Before that I'd have to say starting off a new … Continue reading Sweater Weather
Since this is our first Thanksgiving in our house (and as a married couple) we're celebrating the actual day of Thanksgiving at home. I'm still not sure what we're having, but I got in a cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie mood this past week, so I bought the ingredients and planned to make them this … Continue reading Our Really Simple Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner
Thursday I tried to finish priming the hallway, but I ran out of primer. We bought more on Saturday, but the wall still looks like this. =( Friday I made cornmeal crusted okra. I searched all summer for fresh okra but couldn't find any, so I finally bought frozen. I think next year I'll try … Continue reading Ghosts and a Dead Dryer
This week's homemade Candle 79 meals were: Avocado Salsa Stuffed Avocado with Quinoa Pilaf and Chipotle-Avocado Dressing Tempeh with Mole Sauce Mexican Chocolate Cake I've never made a sauce with almonds, raisins, and sesame seeds before. Couldn't find plantains, so I replaced it with banana instead. I was looking forward to the mole sauce since … Continue reading Tempeh with Mole Sauce, Stuffed Avocado Salad, Mexican Chocolate Cake
It's not a secret that I'm obsessed with my new waffle maker. I was in the process of making french toast and then I saw it just staring back at me, beckoning to try to make waffled french toast. At first I thought it might stick too much, but then I realized it shouldn't be … Continue reading Pumpkin Spice French Toast Waffles
For our one week anniversary, I made our first full meal from our Candle 79 cookbook: Nori- and Sesame-Crusted Seitan, Ginger-Seitan Dumplings, Jasmine Rice, Gingered Sugar Snap Peas, and Edamame-Mint Sauce. Well sorta... I made the edamame-mint sauce exactly as the recipe stated and to my surprise I loved it. I wasn't sure how the mint … Continue reading Cooking Through the Candle 79 Cookbook
I got a waffle maker on Friday, and since then, I've been obsessed. I've wanted one for a while, but hated the thought of spending money on a single use kitchen item. I'm sorry I put it off for so long, because it rocks. 1/2 cup protein powder (I used Sun Warrior Vanilla) 1/4 flour … Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Protein Waffles
In no particular order, this weekend... I went searching unsuccessfully for this... My twitter friend asked why I hadn't posted any full size wedding pictures, and I explained it was because my husband (yep, still sounds weird), doesn't want his picture on the Internet, so then I did this... I went to Wegman's (spent way … Continue reading Weekend in Pictures…Wegman's Adventures and Lots of Waffles
