Cinnamon-Apple Cake. A few months ago, Hungry Bear favorited this cinnamon-apple cake on foodgawker and she finally made it for our Lunar New Year celebration this year. It's not Chinese or Vietnamese in any way, but Hungry Bear didn't want to make anything too elaborate and we had two apples to use up. So that's how a cinnamon-apple cake got served at a New Year's party with Chinese hot pot. I was working that day when Hungry Bear was baking the cake and I wasn't paying much attention. She told me that it was a Cooking Light recipe, but she was making it full-fat because she hates margarine and fat-free cream cheese. I honestly wasn't very excited about the cake. I don't think anyone at dinner knew how damn good this cake was going to be. Our friend, Deb, made it for a family gathering the next day. SND Note: The original Cooking Light recipe calls for Rome apples, but we used Fujis. Ingredients Directions Preheat oven to 350°F.
Makes 8-10 servings [Adapted from Cooking Light] Leave a Comment. Cauliflower Crust Pizza. I have been trying to cut out white…you know white stuff like flour and sugar. So when I saw a recipe on Megan’s blog Detoxinista for her Detoxinista’s Cauliflower Pizza Crust, well I just had to give it a try. I of course made a few adjustments to her recipe but WOW, this pizza is fantastic and if I never eat a real pizza crust again, I won’t even miss it. This cauliflower crust is firm, with great flavor, you can cut it like a regular pizza and pick up the slices and eat them with your hands. This recipe is just downright fabulous and everyone, kids and adults, who have tried a slice have loved it and couldn’t figure out the secret of the crust. The only down side of this crust is that this version isn’t Maisie “safe” as it contains both eggs and cheese but I’m going to experiment with it and hopefully come up with a version just as wonderful which she’ll be able to eat.
Start with a full head of cauliflower and make a batch of my Cauli-Rice. Add the egg, cheese and spices. Enjoy! MEXICAN CHICKEN.

Creamy Earl Grey, Cardamom, & Pistachio Popsicles ...inspired by Death by Darjeeling {cook the books} I don't think I've mentioned that I recently started spending time at a quaint little tea shop situated in a beautiful area in town perfect for walking and catching the cool breeze from the nearby river.
Indigo Tea Shop is the sort of place that beckons you to walk through its propped open front door with the promise of comfort snaking through the air in the form of heady, enticing scent of tea leaves, spices, and freshly baked goods. The staff of the shop are welcoming and very knowledgeable, as I'm not very adept in my knowledge of tea. Sure, I've known the comforts of Chamomile, the curative properties of Lemon-Ginger, the uplifting and energizing effects of Green tea, and the scent alone of a good Earl Grey can lift my spirits and bring me a sense of peace all at the same time. But there is so much more to blending...and enjoying...a fantastic cup of tea.
The Indigo's owner, Theodosia, along with her distinguished colleague Drayton have never seemed put-out at my ignorance. Yummy Lunch Ideas - Yummy Lunch Box Gallery - Easy Lunch Boxes, Bento Lunches.

Quick & Easy Recipes – Apple Upside-Down Cake. Sweet Tooth Love – Pizza Monkey Bread. Pesto Chicken Sandwiches. Here’s a recipe that makes perfect use of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Serve these flavorful, melted cheese sandwiches in the summertime, when tomatoes are sweet and fresh basil is abundant. Just be careful not to overcook the chicken, and you will have a tasty and juicy alternative to a burger.
Pesto Chicken Sandwiches 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 6 oz. each Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tsp. Olive oil for brushing 8 slices fontina cheese 8 slices sourdough bread Mayonnaise (optional) 8 thick tomato slices 4 Tbs. pesto, homemade or store-bought Season the chicken breast halves with salt and pepper and sprinkle evenly with the Italian seasoning. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over high heat. Place the chicken on the grill directly over the fire and cook until nicely grill-marked and relatively firm to the touch, 5 to 8 minutes on each side depending on the thickness.
Transfer the chicken and bread slices to a cutting board. Healthy Low-Carb Snacks. Baked cheese balls. OK, so we did the experiment with the egg roll wrappers and string cheese to make baked cheese sticks and they turned out alright...but nothing to write home about. These, my friends, were not the same outcome. Yes, I used the leftover string cheese from the above recipe. Yes, I used the leftover mix of breading from my baked zucchini chips that I kept in an airtight container in the cupboard until I figured out what to do with it. And, yes, marrying those two ingredients together made the best homemade cheeseball I've made to date. Booyah! Cut your sticks into balls, dip in skim milk, and toss in the breading.... I actually don't know how long I baked them because I watched them the whole time thinking they were going to cheesily explode in the oven because how could the cheese not just melt instead of staying in between the teeniest layer of breading that I could barely see after I put them on the greased baking sheet?
Don't mind the shadows in the pictures, they're irrelevant. Chocolate Mousse (no added sugar) One of my recent kitchen adventures turned simplicity into pure decadence. If you're not new to my blog, you already know how much I love the combination of chocolate and coconut. With this new experiment I wanted to replace sugar/agave nectar and make a healthier chocolate ice cream without compromising on taste. I had successfully used homemade date paste before in several recipes, so I knew this would work great in this dessert, but I could not anticipate just how light and creamy it would turn out.
Instead of the soft serve ice cream I had in mind, I created a luscious chocolate mousse. It was in fact so good that I didn't want to risk spoiling the texture and taste by freezing it. While sugar and agave nectar only add sweetness, dates also add a delicate fruity flavour that makes this chocolate mousse even more delicious. The magic doesn't stop here though, you can easily add your personal touch to this easy chocolate mousse. Chocolate Mousse Enjoy and spread the magic!

Healthy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. First, thank you all for the tremendous love and affection you gave on my last post. You make sharing my life worthwhile. Next order of business: I make this chicken noodle soup nearly every weekend. Mainly because it works as an olive branch for when I’ve told Daniel, ‘You are the stupidest person in the whole wide world,‘ following an ordinary round of Jeopardy. But also, because soup is, you know, sustenance. And making a big pot of soup will provide me with no less than five delicious and filling meals for the week ahead, which leaves me with ample time to fulfill all of my other pressing obligations. Baking cookies, thinking about Hostess cupcakes, writing letters to major companies and the city of Las Vegas, discovering pictures of myself on Daniel’s iPhone, organizing my nail polishes, finding things to dip bread into… I’m a very busy person, as you can imagine. Here’s how it’s done: In a large stock pot, combine the chicken bones with 2 quarts of good quality chicken broth.

In the mood for a whole pie? Homemade Calzone.
I wanted to make something to take on the road, but the contents of the refrigerator were saying PIZZA. Hmmm... pizza is not so portable. Then I remembered CALZONE! Calzone is basically the same as pizza but with a much prettier appearance. If you want to impress your family, make your regular pizza into a calzone, and watch them "ooh and ahh. " And since the filling is inside instead of on top, it's easier to take on the road! Voila! Roll pizza dough into a rectangle the length of your baking sheet. Put sauce on the center half of the dough. Just like pizza, add your toppings (our favorites are pepperoni, olives, and mushrooms). Then add cheese. Now comes the special part. This is what it looks like when all the cuts are made. Then "wrap the baby. " Here is the calzone ready to bake.
Uh oh... don't do what I did. For the second one, I remembered to start with my rectangle of dough ON a baking sheet. By the way, the same dough wrapping technique can be used for sweet fillings too. Peanut Butter Chocolate Dessert Recipe. Pull-Apart Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Bread.
