    Homemade Falafel

    March 21, 2013

    My son is addicted to our homemade Falafel… We have a standing date for Friday lunch: Falafel and double-fried french fries…. I’m pretty sure this has had a significant role in my “expansion” 🙂 Making falafel at home is easy and yummy, but requires preapration ahead of time of soaking the chickpeas: In a large bowl, place the desired amount of chickpeas (select the brand with the smallest chickpeas), cover at least twice the height in water, and leave to soak for at least 12 hours.

    February 11, 2013

    Any words would be redundant here… If you have Celiac, or have simply given up on Gluten, and you miss the taste of wholesome, this is the bread for you! Using this recipe you can either bake this bread in an over, or just drop everything into your breadmaker and wait for the magic to happen The plain white bread is great for dipping into thick sauces, making french toast, swiping the lovely yolk of your eggs-suuny-side-up, or just spreading a little butter on top.

    Decadent Chocolate Cake

    January 22, 2013

    I was feeling a little under the weather yesterday, kinda like I’d been run over by a tractor. BUT, it was our turn to bring refreshments to class since my king’s birthday is next week, and when it comes to letting down my baby there is no sick leave… So here she is, the queen of chocolate cakes… A favorite with kids and adults alike.
