Red Velvet Whoopie Pies _ Baked Sunday Mornings

I had given my daughter the first Baked book and never got it for myself.  Feeling a little deprived, (yeah sure) I treated myself to the new Baked Explorations by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito.  It has some compelling recipes such as Nutella Scones, Orange Creamsicle Tart, Salt N Pepper Sandwich Cookies and Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondue.  Are these enough to tempt you.  Certainly, they do tempt me.

Tonight, I made the red velvet whoopie pies.  I have made plenty of whoopie pies in the past.  Red Velvet ones are new to me.  I made sure I had plenty of red coloring in these so they would come out red and they did.  I am not sure, I got this in all the photos but they were successful.


My daughter, not to long ago, gave me a whoopie pie sheet.  I had mentioned, I thought this was a great idea.  As she said, she could not imagine anyone wanting one but since I did, she gave to me.  Good daughter.

Now that I have used it, I love it.  It was so easy to get the same shape and size for the cookies.  I did make a batch using my cookie scoop and these worked well, also.  Does one have to have one of these pans?  Absolutely not.  Is it great to have one?  Absolutely yes.

I baked this with the foodies from Baked Sunday Mornings who are baking through the book.  Go over there for the recipe and to get a list of the other bakers who have made these yummy cookies.

The batter was a cinch to make in the mixer and the frosting, as well.  Putting it together gets a little boring and that would be the challenge for me.  When, I am bored, I get careless.

The results are wonderful and I am sure both  my grandchildren and my class are going to love these.  This is a great recipe for licking the bowl with the filling. I wish I had the kids here for that.

    Making them in a pan does look so much easier. I can't imagine any child not being able to resist those.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
