Hey there. No, I haven’t found my notebook, but I worked up natural sugar chocolate chips this week so I have that recipe in a new place :-). I even tested them in my chocolate chip cookies for you (because how can I know if a chocolate chip recipe is any good unless I know how it bakes up?)! Of course, they’re still actually chocolate chunks, but they’re quite tasty regardless of shape.
Hello again! Sorry for the unexpected week without a post, but things are oddly crazy around here for having nothing much going on. We have been out and about a lot, though, and one of those little outings was to a farmer’s market. Lacking a veggie garden of my own (currently! Hopefully I can change that by next spring, but we’ll see), I set out to get the stuff for homemade pickles from the market. I succeeded easily, since it is indeed canning season and pickling cucumbers are plentiful.
Sorry this is so late; I have guests in town and Jennifer just got hit with the death-plague (or some similarly awful, hopefully short, illness!). I would have taken a picture of this for you, but my husband ate it all before I could! It’s a pretty tasty, somewhat unique granola. It goes best with

The BBQ sauce itself is, in fact, vegetarian :-). So, here you go! If you are here for non-vegetarian reasons I’m sure you’ll find many 
uses for it. If you are a vegetarian, well, hey, I make it now…there’s always parties, right :-)? Plus maybe you like it! Anyway, here is the super easy recipe.
We have vanilla ice cream left over from a party in our freezer right now. Problem is, the pie it was originally served with is long gone, and I find vanilla ice cream quite dull without
anything to dress it up :D. Unusually for me, chocolate syrup was what sounded good. However, I don’t actually like store-bought syrup much, and if I’m gonna make it, I may as well make it so Sean can have it!
This curry is great served with rice, because once you eat all the veggies out you can tump in the rice and let it soak up the leftover liquid. Sometimes I even scoop some rice in with
earlier veggie-full bites, too. Some folks are adept enough to eat this dish with chopsticks when you eat it this way (with rice in the liquid) … I’m not :D. Even Sean, who is much better with chopsticks than I am, doesn’t eat this dish with them! But perhaps you have the chopstick-fu to pull it off. If so, more power to you. One way or the other, this is delicious, so enjoy!
This is one of my favorite salads, though it isn’t a traditional one. It makes a great side dish for barbecue-style events or to go along with simple dinners at home. It’s crisp, refreshing,
easy to make and quite tasty.
It’s Friday in Lent again, and lo and behold, I’m posting another soup. This one is so delicious I don’t have pictures for you–we were in a hurry, so I intended to take a picture of a bowl of the leftovers. Unfortunately, there weren’t any! Well, I suppose you could consider that fortunate, as it means three people polished off a single batch of this recipe.
I know, it sounds funny, but it’s really quite good. It’s Lent now, and as a vegetarian I don’t find meatless Fridays very hard to do :D, so I try to keep dinner simple on Friday so that we’re
still giving something up. This was a new recipe, but it turned out really well. It’s very flavorful, but also very simple and easy to make.
I know I’ve already posted one granola recipe, but I figured I’d put up this one too. The technique is not radically different or anything, but it’s a little different, and the result tastes
entirely different, of course! This granola is actually almost rich the flavors are so robust, and it is absolutely delicious warm.
