My New Year’s Resolution this year was one new recipe a week. I have a lot of cookbooks, and I often look through them as if they were novels, but I have a hard time following recipes. I always add a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Not that it is a bad thing, but I thought maybe I should try to follow some recipes as they are written this year 🙂
Earlier this fall I was at Starbucks, eagerly anticipating a Pumpkin Spice Latte. However, when I got to the counter to make my order, they were all out of the pumpkin spice syrup. I panicked, I didn’t know what to do and the line up was growing exponentially behind me. I looked up at their specialty drink board and a new drink caught my eye – Salted Caramel Mocha. Hmmmm, I like all of these flavours, but how would they taste together? The answer, delicious!
I love this time of year, as you get to sample a lot of baked goods in the office kitchen 🙂 There is nothing better than your co-workers coming in with a tray of goodies that they have prepared on the weekend, it really brings a nice holiday vibe to the office.
So I am back with another baking entry. I can’t help it, the heart wants what the heart wants 🙂
Jamie and I spent 6 hours in a car yesterday, and when we got home, I really wanted something sweet and salty. Well, the best combination to satisfy that craving is made with Peanut Butter and Chocolate.
You are likely expecting another recipe that starts with white flour, milk and some kind of fat (butter/shortening). Well, we can’t eat like that all the time, no matter how much we would love to, so I thought I would share with you one of my week-night favourites.
One of the benefits of growing up in the country is that we never learned of the horrors of white flour and carbohydrates until much later in life 🙂
