Blog Bites

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

I am a bad food blogger. Rarely does my food gets a chance to be photographed. It is usually devored before I pull out the camera. I am not a person who makes up my own recipes. I follow recipes and put my spin on them – adapt them to make them my taste and maybe a little bit more healthier. Here are some wonderful recipes that I have adapted. If my adaptations turned out good imagine how great the originals will be. Go ahead, try them and you will not be disappointed. Just click on the picture

Mango Nut Bread by Chef in You. Any mango lover's taste of heaven. I usually add whole eggs and mango puree to make the mix moist. I have tried it with pecans and walnuts. I also half the all purpose flour and add a mix of whole wheat and flax seed powder to my version of the mango bread

This Blueberry Zucchini bread from Rachel's blog is healthy and yummy. I reduced the sugar to almost 1/4 the suggested quantity, reduced all purpose flour and added flax instead. On one ocassion when I was out of fresh blueberries, I used raisins instead. The zucchinni adds the moisture and is a perfect treat

I am pretty sure that it is against the law to create something this yummy from a box mix. Oh boy! You need to try them - Yummy Chocolate cookies by Amy of Living Locurto - I skipepd the nuts and cream cheese - added both raisins and cranberries. I added white chocolate chips instead of the traditional chocolate to add a contrast to my cookies

Do your craft and eat it too

Making craft time more fun with edible craft for this month’s Artsy-Craftsy hosted by the talented Shruti of Mindful Meanderings.

I used stencils to create this yummy craft.

Ingredients

You favorite cake or brownie recipe. Chocolate recipes work the best

Powdered sugar

Wax/Freezer/Butter paper

Template

Pen

Scissors

Sieve

Use the template to cut out designs on wax paper (I used premade stencils and made my job easier). Place the cut wax paper stencil on cooled cake, use a sieve and powdered sugar and sprinkle. Take pictures (optional) and eat!

Isn’t it a perfect way to do crafts with your little one on a rainy day (or any other day for that matter)? Once the templates are cut it is a safe and easy craft for the youngest of the young.

Note: It is a Devil’s Food Chocolate cake from my kitchen and it tastes just as moist and yummy as it looks.
