Lately I’ve been hooked on pecans with plain Greek yogurt mixed with honey. I have also recently found a place that gives awesome chicken deals. So I decided to mix it all together. Well, not the yogurt.
Food
Justin’s
This is a super quick post done at….about 1:30…am. I was out grocery shopping the other day and was looking at new foods to try (because that’s something I just love to do) and I came across this. I’m not a fan of peanut butter, but in trying to eat healthier things (on occasion, lol) I decided to give it a try. At first I was going to venture out and buy a whole jar of one flavor, but just as I decided not to I saw the sample packets. What other excuse did I have not to try? Not one.
Five Ingredient Shortbread…with Six Ingredients?
Every so often a basket of delicious cookies would magically appear at work. I didn’t know who made them at first, but I always helped myself. They were for sharing of course. Eventually I found out these delicious treats were shortbread cookies. YUM. Remember that cookbook this recipe came from? Well, it just so happen it also has a recipe for shortbread. Of course, I had to try it.
Raspberry Cucumber Lemon Juice Time
White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies
For those of you following me on Instagram you saw the massive amount of chocolate I got for Valentine’s day (total surprise). Within that were two bags of white chocolate chips and a white chocolate baking bar. While the baking bar didn’t make it, along with the Hershey kisses and milk and white chocolate hearts, the chocolate chips survived. I didn’t want to eat them plain, so I held on to them hoping for a better way to use them. I’ve made blondies before and they were amazing, so I decided to try them again and put a slight twist to them.
Juicing Once Again
So I’ve done a tad bit more juicing since my first post, and I thought I’d share some more of my thoughts.
- Raspberries don’t produce as much juice as I thought.
- Blueberries produce more juice than I thought.
- Pineapple and orange is still amazing.
- Eventually I will stop picking up a nectarine when I want a peach.
- Fizz is still annoying.
- Adding water makes it so much better.
I was told to keep it simple, so I will. I’m still working up the courage to try vegetables. Maybe even vegetables only. Eek! How do you like juicing and what are some of your favorite recipes?
Beer bread. Wait, what?
Corn and Potato Chowder
One of my cooking goals is to get a good cookbook and make every recipe in it…
..so for Christmas I got a cookbook…and a nice knife set. 🙂
Juicing Tips
So apparently I decided to bring in the new year by juicing. These are some things that I learned:
- A pumello tastes like a less bitter grapefruit.
- Juicing a mango was a bad idea. It turned more into a purée that wound up clogging my juicer.
- Pineapple also clogged my juicer. I’ll have to clean the filter every so often while juicing them. I don’t know what happened this time around because I didn’t run into this problem before. I did use precut pineapple the first time. Maybe that mattered.
I thought I’d share that tidbit with you. Enjoy the first day of your new year!
Later that morning: Will not use these combinations again. lol
