Best Steak Marinade in Existence Recipe. 84th&3rd | Spicy Carrot, Tomato and Lentil Soup. I love soup. I know, it’s a big statement. There is this little cafe downstairs from my day-job office. They are friendly, and they make a good cup of tea and they have soup at lunch….$8.50 soup. It does come with lovely bread, but really, $8.50? It is not any more expensive, and is actually at times cheaper, than any of the other cafes around. This soup was inspired by one of their regular ones, and it is so simple I have made it twice already. Also, winter is really getting to me this year. At $8.50 a bowl I had to give this a go.

My friend Ryan, whom I affectionately call “Pastor Ryan,” has graced us (no pun intended; I crack myself up) with this sticky, delectable, and surprisingly simple recipe for…Monkey Bread. Take it, Ryan! That’s right…Monkey Bread. Although I’m almost certain there are no actual monkeys in this recipe, it’s still very good. I snagged the recipe from my mother-in-law Tracy, after I regained consciousness the first time I ate this strange, pull-apart, breakfast, lunch, or dinner bread thing. And you know the best part about this here Monkey Bread?

Brownies and cakes you mix in a mug and microwave in a minute are saving peoples’ sweet teeth around the world — it occurred to me that a gluten-free variation would be simple, particularly a version of this mug brownie, which is eaten straight from the mug, and so doesn’t require much in the way of structure.

I gave it a spin with a number of gluten-free flours – quinoa, oat, brown rice and a gluten-free blend I picked up in bulk at the natural foods store. Who needs gluten, anyway? Use unsweetened cocoa powder — it has much more chocolate flavor than sweetened drink mixes like powdered Quick. Stir together your flour, brown sugar, cocoa and a pinch of salt. Stir in the oil and milk or coffee — I use the dregs of my morning cup. Stir it together — you’ll have a thick, chocolatey paste.

Microwave it for a minute — if you have a powerful microwave check it after 30 seconds, but 60 should do it. Orange-Scented Currant Scones - Baking Made Easy!

My favorite “post-workout” recipes Banana Cream Pie Oatmeal (page 42) Banana Cream Pie Oatmeal. September 2011. No Bake Granola Cakes. Big changes are happening over on my workouts page and even bigger changes are happening with my marathon training plans. February has been a challenge for me, I was losing muscle, motivation, and forgetting why I began running in the first place. My passion was slowly exiting. A couple days ago I decided I needed to switch things up, I needed to ask for help. [Something I dislike doing, but need to realize that it's okay to get a hand with things and let people in] I sent a message to Angie, a triathlon coach I’d been chatting with back in August and before I knew it I had a new training plan.
