Light Banana Bread... Add Quinoa Flour for added Protein!
I've discovered Quinoa flour! I was able to easily substitute 1/2 cup of the all purpose flour with Quinoa flour. This added a full 8 gms protein and only 4 gms of unsaturated fat.
Caramel Frosted Hummingbird Cake
I had dessert duty for a get together this weekend and I found this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens. It sounded strange using shredded sweet potatoes, but I thought it turned out great and was big hit. It is for a 3-layer cake, but I only had 2 9" round pans, so I made the two rounds and poured the extra batter into a loaf pan.The Elvis Cupcake Challenge
OK... so I like themes when it comes to food... silly but true.
2 Ingredient Recipes
My mother is a reader of Woman's Day Magazine (whose recipes I usually love) and she passed on these 2 ingredient recipe cards to me. Sure, some of them are a little odd and I will probably never, ever attempt, but there were a few that immediately grabbed my attention and I can't wait to try out! (Pineapple with coconut sorbet...:DROOL:)
If you want the actually cards to print out and some additional ideas: http://www.womansday.com/food/6577/2-ingredient-recipe-cards.html, http://www.womansday.com/food/6373/none.html

Yo Ho Yo Ho!!!
For my pirate movie night tonight I made these, spiced rum and chocolate cupcakes with carmel cream frosting.
For the cake, I used the recipe here
http://busycooks.about.com/od/cakerecipes/r/easyrumcake.htm
I didn't make the glaze the in the recipe, and I used chocolate pudding instead of banana.
The frosting is made like you would make cream cheese frosting, but I used BelGioioso Dolce Mascarpone instead of cream cheese.

DIY Beauty: Eyes
Originally I was planning to do a post today about things that you can make for babies and expectant mothers. But, well, my computer decided to hate me. So I'm trying something different in the hopes that it will work!
