Crockyblog. Healthy. Chipotle black bean soup | Meals in Heels. Its been a fantastic start to the year for me as it was my birthday and my new book, Skinny Meals in Heels, has been published. My previous title with Murdoch, Meals in Heels, was all about make-ahead cooking for entertaining, Skinny, is for the rest of the week. You won’t find any calorie or fat counts because its NOT a diet book.

Picture instead a collection of quick mouth-watering recipes that ‘happen’ to be low in fat. Its all about ‘healthy meets delicious’ with aromatic herbs, spice pastes and chilis to flavour dishes instead of butter or cream. You still use tasty ingredients like bacon, cheese or nuts, but in much smaller amounts, keeping taste high and fat low. Nearly all of the 130 recipes can be made in 30 minutes and some under an hour, so its fast and simple.

I’m very excited and proud and hope you love it too! Olive magazine’s February issue has a 5-page photographed feature from the book. BBC Good Food January issue features my ‘Make it tonight’ recipes from the cupboard. Double Crunch Honey Garlic Pork Chops.

Whew, the Holidays are almost behind us, I can finally exhale and slow down for the next few days and reflect about what a great year it has been for Skinnytaste and myself in 2011. When I started this blog back in 2008, it was just a hobby that I really enjoyed. Never in my dreams would I have imagined what was to come. In March of 2011, I left my full time job and career in the city which allowed me to give my 100% to Skinnytaste and spend more quality time with my baby. It was scary and exciting at the same time, but I wouldn 't change a thing! And to my surprise, Skinnytaste even won some awards this year!

Updated 10/29/09 The Experiment Previously, we investigated the strongest possible Jell-O shotand showed that a Jell-O shot can, in fact, be lit on fire. The reader response to these investigations was overwhelming, we received hundreds of methods and recipes for producing the "best" Jell-O shot.

Equipped with this reader input, a minibar’s worth of booze, a grocery cart full of Jell-O, and the spirit of scientific investigation, we embarked on a grueling series of further Jell-O shot trials, and here we present our findings. The Flavor Challenge Previously we focused our efforts on maximizing the alcoholic potency of the shots. But, as we discovered, the flavor suffered severely as a result.

Hi Rex, It is tricky but we do it every time and people that use OUR seeds and follow the instructions EXACTLY as we do get a germination rate of 85 - 90 % Strike rate... so your strike rate of 0% is no good you do something wrong somewhere down the line: - the SOIL temperature of the chilli seeds MUST be between 28 - 32 degrees Celsius CONSTANTLY and EXACTLY.... so day and night for the whole seeding up time of 4 weeks - It can take UP TO 2 weeks minimum to 4 WEEKS maximum before first seedlings will pop up!!

- You NEED to use a heat blanket to control the temperature EXACTLY and constantly over that time period...!!! - Make sure to measure the heat of the SOIL by putting in the thermometer inside the SOIL of the seedlings.
