Well as most of you know, I love to bake & cook with the occasional craft thrown in there. If you want to see more just "Like" this page. Just PM me!

Well as you all know I love to bake & cook (as well as throw the odd little craft in there) While I appreciate not everyone wants to see what I am cooking up in the kitchen on their news feed some of you might so I thought I would start this page. I thought it would be an easy forum for me (and others) to post ideas, pictures or questions. Who knows maybe it will even give you a little dinner insp

Sometimes I wonder how my mind works. Today I made chimichurri, all because I didn’t want to throw away a jar lol. I have this unreasonable thing where I can recycle most anything but get rid of a glass jar? Nope, I semi hoard every last one, I use them everywhere lol. I’m that crazy lady. Anyone else have some odd thing they just can’t throw away because it seems like a waste?
Anyway, today it was for a good reason. The old jam jar was perfect for making chimichurri. And if you have never had it, Oooof, make it. It takes 5 minutes and it tastes UNREAL on grilled meats (esp. beef) I also put it on my eggs. I have included a recipe, this Argentine dish is a fave but I do change mine up a bit. I use way more red wine vinegar then what is called for, I also add shallots & cilantro, but it is all to your own preferred taste! * this will last 4-7 days in the fridge*

Trying some gluten free products for an order, not gonna like they would be hard to tell apart from non GF …. Had to try a banana bite to make sure 😉 I went for the product that had Xantham gum…that is key for GF baking imo!

Recently I have taken on a low carb clean eating “diet” and my daughter has jumped on the clean eating band wagon, she made these brownies tonight and I am surprised how delicious they are.
Bananas
Peanut Butter
Cocoa powder
Maple syrup
Choc chips and buts are optional
So soft and chewy

For anyone with gluten sensitivities, my daughter made these today and they were quite tasty...we added the cinnamon and 1-2 mashed up bananas would probably be a tasty add as well! Post a pic if you make them!!

Chocolate Avocado Brownies Recipe by Tasty 05/03/2019

Just made these today...a couple of minor tweaks but not too shabby. Texture is great, I cooked it for way less time tho. just the plain chocolate is kind of bland. I added cinnamon and chili powder as well as chopped pecans. to 1/2 I swirled in Peanut Butter on top, that is DEFINITELY the yummier side, plain needs more work! **pictures in comments**

Chocolate Avocado Brownies Recipe by Tasty Here's what you need: ripe avocado, egg, honey, vanilla extract, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder

Trying out a new cookie...Chocolate Diablo caramel chip....I wasn't sure how much chili powder to add so I chickened out. The salted caramel chips are yummy but it isn't very "Diablo" gonna have to add more next time....didn't have a very good start either...14 eggs busted lol!
