Favorite Shortbread Flavor?

I've road tested quite a few recipes and happily settled on Nigella Lawson's shortbread cookie; beautifully adaptable as seen here. Enjoy!

Btwn the raw food snacks I've been experimenting with and the gf baking...I'm learning alot about valuable subs and flavor partnering.

Help! Too many ripe avocados! Need recipes fast!

It was and this blogger wrote:
1/4 cup of olive oil (or just enough to bring everything together)
depending on the ripeness of your avocados...you adjust the oil.

Oh and this one, which started the whole gluten-free love affair was incredibly flavorful.

This was delicious along with JTB's chocolate avocado cake with avocado buttercream frosting. I ran across a chocolate, avocado and banana bread that looked exceptional too and was gluten-free. http://www.manifestvegan.com/2010/03/... That's up next!

Pop-up sushi in a plastic tube

Bingo! My concern with any product would be how fresh, for how long, in a cylinder tube.

Eating Well magazine is a quick online recipe resource
Mayo Clinic website has a wonderful library of recipes
Most of the popular food plans (WW, Jenny, SouthB) sites have recipes
but also check out nutrition charts online.

How, when and why (if) you started drinking your coffee black

So funny, I was just discussing this very question with friends yesterday. So far, I'm the only gal to switch from coffee w/cream & sugar to black. I left out the sugar about 15 years ago and switched entirely to black coffee once I understood the roasting process, bean variety and brewing methods. Done right, black coffee is a classic beverage w/no need for add ons. But, I'm usually the only person drinking my java black.

Crack Pie Recipe

http://klutzychef.wordpress.com/2010/...

I gave this recipe version a try yesterday. Boy, hype can really take an adaptation far! Too sweet for me, better with a dollop of Greek yogurt to tang it up and some black coffee but friends who love those gooey, chewy type pies loved it. $44.00 considering how very little it costs to make is really a time factor price. Making the cookie from scratch before creating the crust IS what I'd say you'd pay for... but for a few dollars this is so easy to replicate.

I'm thinking how fresh for how long? But honestly my kids and their friends would love the cool factor/packaging......for a time.

How un-healthy is Falafel?

We control the calories by a) making the mix from scratch, b) baking the falafel shaped balls instead of frying; c) omit the sauce and use lime instead and stuff the whole wheat pita with lots of crunchy greens. Just as tasty and much easier on the waistline. Plenty of recipes on the Net for a baked falafel version. So good.

OMG- Roasted Cauliflower

Roasted with olive oil, cumin & curry powder and I'm so there! Leftovers we stuffed inside chicken breasts and served with Indian butter sauce and I was queen of the kitchen that night.

White sauce for fish tacos?

Lately we've been going with grilled shrimp tacos. Jumbo shrimp, mango dice, coconut flakes, chopped tomatoes, lime, chopped onion, minced cilantro; fold & enjoy! No white sauce at all.

Eating well, while being poor.

YAYME, any chance you have an Aldi's nearby? Some of their weekly bargains are truly a steal. You need to read your labels but if you're looking to save BIG, create meals for the week, Aldi's can be a helpful part of your weekly shop.

What to do with "chewy" dulce de leche?

Strip the dulce, wrap each strip around a banana and pan fry, serve with some ice cream.
Lord knows I've overcooked a few cans in my day!
