This is delicious. It looks just like real cookie dough, but it's not quite the real thing. It is smoother than real cookie dough and super fast to make. I found the recipe here. It appealed to me because there are no raw eggs in the dip. One batch can feed about six to eight people. The second time I made it, I halved the recipe and it was good for four people. We dipped apples, graham crackers, and pretzels into the dip. My favorite is the pretzels, although the apples are very good as well.
I have made these molasses and ginger granola bars a few times. I love ginger snaps and ginger bread men cookies, and tend to only eat them during the holidays, which is too bad. I love the ginger and molasses combination all year round, especially for breakfast.
I easily found dates at Trader Joe's, but am about to make a new batch with peanut butter. The posted recipe provides good advice for substitutes that can be used. I have used a variety of nuts and dried fruits and they are all delicious. These keep well in the refrigerator, but I have not tried them in the freezer.
I finally bought a loaf pan. I don't know what took me so long. I made this recipe from Smitten Kitchen. It is delicious. It's more dense then the no knead bread, and perfect for sandwiches. It's also very easy to make as long as you have some time around the house.
I'm not sure if I have ever thought of mixing cheese into quinoa, and I don't know why. I guess I must have eaten feta with quinoa, but I have never melted cheese into quinoa. I really liked this dish and it was super easy. It was better hot than as leftovers, and it was so much better with a few squeezes of sriracha sauce. Here is the recipe.
I made the tortillas from this Rick Bayless recipe. For the fat I used olive oil. Making these really was easy, although you can see that I didn't get perfect circles each time. I ate a few and they were good, and different from store bought. However, I may still buy tortillas from the store. If I didn't live in CA I may not feel this way, but I have endless amounts of tortillas at my finger tips at all times.
I am always looking for something different to eat for breakfast. Usually I find something I like and then I eat it forever and then I hate it and never want to eat it again.
I made these bars from 101 Cookbooks. I really like them and they were easy to eat. The only thing I didn't like is how sweet they are. If I make them again I will cut the amount of sugar in half. I added in cranberries and a few chocolate chips. The recipe is here.
I made this soup last week. It is a different spin on carrot soup, with a much deeper flavor coming from the tahini. I love tahini and think this combination is delicious. I got the recipe from the New York Times. I skipped the pita chips. The recipe is here.
