Honey Jack Daniel Whiskey-Infused Prune Chocolate Brownies

Chocolate brownies! Do you prefer rich, fudge brownies, chewy ones or cake-like ones? So, the texture of the brownie depends on the ratio of chocolate, butter/oil, eggs, sugar, and flour ingredients. The type of fat used in the batter will change whether the brownie ends up being richer and fudge-like or less dense. Although I [...]

Recipe Testing: Sesame Wow Greens

Here’s another vegan recipe I tested for Terry Hope Romano’s upcoming international cookbook. So far, I’ve tried her fresh noodle soup in sesame miso broth, ginger marinated cucumbers, pumpkin potato panko cutlets, as well as her spicy kale coconut relish.

I was delighted to try Gogo’s Garlic Dip in Dill flavor. I purchased some plain white pita bread to dip into the “Authentic Greek Scordalia,” and was impressed by its fresh, light flavor.

Pillsbury Quick Banana Bread

I’m a big fan of the oven. It does wonders. Baking fresh bread is a lot of fun. However, I’m not very skilled when it comes to mixing and kneading bread dough. Therefore, I decided to start simple. I went to consult the Pillsbury dough boy to some ideas. I’ve always enjoyed their premade croissant [...]
