Chocolate Guinness Cake Chocolate Guinness Cake March 20, 2012 | By Adam Roberts | 13 Comments Here’s how you know I’m the real deal: whereas most food publications will cram an upcoming holiday down your throat in hopes that you’ll link to their page as you plan your holiday meal, I’m not so clever or strategic. I wait until the holiday’s over, when the post will no longer be relevant, and then I blog about it. This means: (1) I’m not very smart; and (2) I’m pretty authentic. It’s a shame, though, because this is a really wonderful cake. You melt the butter in the beer: Add sugar and cocoa powder: Eggs, sour cream and vanilla: And, finally, flour and baking soda: Notice, this all happens in one pot which makes it a one-pot cake: a nice feature, as far as clean-up goes. Pour in the batter: And bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until a cake tester (or, in my case, a knife) comes out clean: Truth be told, it just tastes like a really good, really rich chocolate cake with cream cheese icing.

It was difficult, but I resisted making it right away, bookmarked it and waited impatiently for St Patrick's Day to arrive and it was finally time.

Italian Sausage and Cabbage Stew Recipe We use savoy cabbage for this recipe, but you could use regular cabbage, or even collard greens or dinosaur kale. If you want to make this stew vegetarian, leave out the sausage and double the beans. Method 1 Heat the olive oil on medium-high heat in a large (8-quart), thick-bottomed pot. 2 Add the minced onion (save the sliced onion for later) and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. 3 Add the white wine and the beans and bring to a rolling boil. 4 Add the water, stock, salt, cabbage, sliced onion half, bay leaves and browned sausage. To serve, sprinkle on chopped parsley and grated cheese.
Beyond Salmon like a strawberry milk White Beans and Cabbage Monday, April 4, 2011 White Beans and Cabbage To me, cabbage, beans and potatoes are the best Western comfort food ever (just in case you’re curious, at the top of the list of my Asian comfort food are: white rice and ramen). And to have cabbage, beans and potatoes all in one dish that only takes 15 minutes to make? Triple Score. Last week, I received a copy of 101 Cookbooks Heidi Swanson’s brand new book, Super Natural Every Day ($12.77 on Amazon) and that very night, couldn’t wait to make this dish called White Beans and Cabbage. Heidi’s book is filled with 100 of her very favorite everyday recipes, “Well-loved recipes from my natural foods kitchen.” Simply put, Heidi is helping change the way people eat with wholesome recipes that are simple – most of the recipes in the book are no longer than a couple of paragraphs. I know you’ll love this book as much as I do. White Beans and Cabbage Step by Step Slice your cabbage as thin as you can. Leave a Comment
Piccadilly Carrot Souffle Recipe This is an amazingly easy recipe to follow and very delicious. None of my family was able to guess that it was carrots. I made this for our Christmas Dinner last year and everyone loved it, including the children. They all thought it was sweet potatoes or yams. Now, this recipe is a copykat of Piccadilly Cafeteria's recipe. If you wanted to switch up and put less sugar I am sure that you could, but again we indulged for the holiday and make it just as the recipe stated. The souffle puffed up very high and was just beautiful; however, it came out of the oven before other dishes were done and so it lost it's elegant flair. Hope you enjoy. How Sweet It Is
