So, I started out with the new recipe. I made sure I had at least most of the ingredients before I started out. And, I followed the recipe to the letter, in regards to stopping the cooking half way though, to mix it, and turn it, so it all got toasty and crisp. Once I […]
Granola and what not to do Part I
I realized that I should write about the first thing I decided to make, which was granola. Let me back up. I have made things before, I have cooked all my life. When my mother worked during our summer break, my brothers and sister used to bake things, just to see how they worked. One […]
Bananas, nibs, and coconut oh my!
My mom and i came up with this in the grocery store, while we were trying to figure out what to do with the leftover garbanzo beans. As we were cruising the aisle my mom mentioned cooking with coconut, but then suddenly fell silent as though her brain was getting high and finally got high […]
Chocolate nibby muffins
I was trying to make muffins for the last few days, it was sort of like a muffin binge if you know what i mean. I started looking through the book “broccoli forest” when i stumbled on a simple blueberry muffin recipe. Course when we were at the market did it occur to me that […]

Unsuccessful watermelon pie
My daughter saw a show on the food network where someone made a watermelon pie, and she has been trying to repeat it ever since, or at least come up with a good version of her own. I bought a huge watermelon this weekend so she could try again. She has tried this two times […]
Making Hummus Part II
I went to the store to see what was in the tahini, just in case I gave up and bought some. I actually found some that didn’t have any other ingredients then sesame seeds, but that got me even more of a mind to make my own. However, I couldn’t figure out how to grind […]
Making Hummus Part 1
I have been making my own yogurt now for a few months, as well as my own granola (although i admit I buy the honey and the other ingredients, but at least I am putting those together myself. I also buy the milk for the yogurt, but this is always the quandary of how much […]
