share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cake dessert friday february 3 2012 guacamole along with pico de gallo and fresh tomatillo salsa which i hope to share someday this is another favorite recipe to come from my husband s family it s so easy to throw together and with avocados on sale for 1 each the past few weeks we ve been enjoying it every weekend there are several schools of thought when it comes to what belongs in guacamole but i definitely love the simplistic approach of this recipe from my husband s aunt ethel creamy avocados in harmony with lime and cilantro make this a perfect snack for your next party or any day guacamole source tia ethel yield about 2 cups preparation time 10 minutes ingredients 4 avocados 2 limes 3 4 cup fresh cilantro 1 4 teaspoon garlic powder optional pinch salt to taste instructions add the flesh from the avocados to a large bowl or food processor set aside one or two of the pits we ll add them back at the end to keep the guacamole from browning add juice of 2 limes cilantro garlic powder if using and a pinch of salt to the bowl blend with an immersion blender or process in the food processor until well blended and no large pieces of avocado are visible check for taste add more salt and blend again if needed i like to taste the guacamole using the chips that it will be served with since those are often salty on their own add reserved avocado pits and push them into the guacamole serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed against the guacamole and chill in the refrigerator until serving i prefer it slightly chilled so i like to do this at 9 06 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels appetizer dip clean eating quick easy tuesday january 31 2012 baked buffalo wings when i was first getting to know my now husband i was relieved to discover there would never be a sports team rivalry in our house the only sport he mildly cares for is football and his favorite team is snicker the 49ers i m not a huge sports fan myself but i ll watch baseball if the red sox are playing football if the patriots are playing hockey if the bruins are playing and basketball if the celtics are playing maybe i never dreamed we d have such an interesting day in our house as the day of the afc nfc championship games i eagerly watched as much as i could of both games working around our son s naps and bedtime first the pats win and down to the last few minutes the 49ers could have pulled off a victory too i was a little sad at the loss because that would have made for a really exciting superbowl in our house i wanted to make buffalo wings for this day of football i ve used alton s method recipe before but when i finally got around to trying that sauce i was underwhelmed so this time i went off in search of a new recipe and this one caught my eye i decided to give this new method a try as well as it looked a little easier and i liked the idea of baking the wings for a few minutes with the sauce on them we loved this spicy and slightly sweet sauce for buffalo wings these baked wings aren t as crisp as fried ones but i actually prefer them to turn up the heat increase the cayenne in the coating or spike the sauce with some tabasco or other favorite hot sauce baked buffalo wings source slightly adapted from lana s cooking yield serves 2 3

i took some time to focus on my family friends and home i m excited to get back to blogging again especially with fall just around the corner and a new season of glee and glee cupcakes part of the reason for the slow down around here is that i wasn t really making new recipes to keep things simple in the kitchen i fell back on things i ve made before and knew we loved this recipe is one that i made many times over this summer the inspiration came one day when there were a few odd ingredients in the fridge that needed to be used up this is one of those recipes that now i can skip the recipe card and go based on memory and i love that these turkey burgers are a great choice when you are looking for something different than your run of the mill burgers the chipotle and adobo sauce provide a great smokiness and the red onion is bright punch of flavor we love them chipotle salsa turkey burgers yield serves 4 preparation time 10 minutes cook time 15 minutes total time 25 minutes

2011 good morning muffins long ago i learned an important kitchen lesson read the recipe in its entirety before you even think about making it too many times before that i d only have skimmed the ingredient list then go to make the recipe and realize i need an overnight rest marinade or the final product needs 4 hours to set afterwards or some other hidden time requirement i m much better now at properly preparing myself for a recipe still i sometimes get ahead of myself last saturday i was happily pouring over a new baking book when i saw this muffin recipe i thought to myself perfect i ll prep the ingredients tonight and bake in the morning i often do that these days since dragging out containers of dry ingredients and measuring them is a lot easier when our son is asleep than when he is awake later that evening when i set out to combine dry ingredients and locate all the others and arrange them in an easy to grab place in the fridge i realize there was very little prep work that could be done sure i could throw together the few dry ingredients but those comprised not even a third of the ingredient list not a huge time saver i didn t want to grate the zucchini or chop the apple ahead of time so i conceded and left all the prep work for sunday morning as i made the muffins on sunday morning i wondered if all this work in itself not much but more than any other muffin recipe i ve made would be worth it i got my answer shortly after removing these glorious muffins from the oven absolutely yes i was so excited to try one i didn t even wait for them to properly cool these quickly became my new favorite muffin and i can t wait to make them again the add ins play so well together against the almost nutty whole wheat muffin base with just the right hint of cinnamon to round it out these lightly sweetened muffins are packed with delicious add ins and make a fabulous breakfast good morning muffins source slightly adapted from flour by joanne chang yield 12 muffins preparation time 20 min cook time 45 min total time 1 hour 5 minutes ingredients 1 2 cup 40 grams wheat or oat bran 1 2 cup 120 grams hot water 1 small zucchini grated about 1 1 2 cups packed or 200

preheat to 350 degrees f prepare a muffin tin with nonstick baking spray or paper liners in a medium bowl stir together the bran and hot water until the bran in completely moistened add zucchini raisins pecans coconut apple stir until well mixed if you are using eggs using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment beat sugar and eggs on medium speed for 3 4 minutes until the mixture thickens and lightens this will take 6 8 minutes with a hand held mixer on low speed drizzle in oil slowly and vanilla adding it slowly is key to maintain the air you have beaten into the eggs if you are using flax seed water as an egg substitute add sugar flax seed water oil and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined in a medium bowl stir together oats flour baking powder salt and cinnamon add the flour mixture to the egg mixture folding carefully with a spatula until well combined add the bran mixture and fold until well combined spoon batter into prepared muffin cups dividing

all summer to dream up awesome gleecakes thanks kelsey for the rest of the gang including finn quinn puck santana brittany artie sam sue mr schue maybe even a crazy gleecake for terri rachel is an exceedingly driven member of the student body at mckinley high she wants nothing more in life than to be a star well aside from gaining the affections of finn she lets nothing stop in her way of getting as much exposure as possible from always speaking her mind on any glee club matter to securing television commercials for the group to demanding solos in competition rachel is consistently reminding us that stars are her signature icon so incorporating stars into her cupcake was a given as rachel would most surely attest that she is naturally uber talented i chose a starfruit with it s natural star shape to adorn sparkly buttercream topped cupcakes however i also couldn t resist hiding a star inside the cupcake because really how much fun is this rachel s star berry cupcake combines vanilla cake with a surprise strawberry star baked inside topped with strawberry swiss meringue buttercream silver pearl dust and sliced starfruit star berry cupcakes source vanilla cake reworded from
