Bizzy the Explorer - Week 5

Hi Fellow Foodies,


Slowly, I am taking over this blog and Chaya hasn't guessed anything.  She thinks, she is in charge but you will be seeing my fingerprints on everything, soon.  Please, just don't tell on me. 


By the way, Chaya did something right.  She knows what kind of cookies to ship with the aim of their getting to their destination in one piece and without the inside of the box becoming icing covered.  We need relatively plain looking cookies that taste great.                                                               
                                                                   Your Buddy Bizzy   


  
I am baking with Operation Baking Gals, this month, and I am on the lookout for great cookie recipes.  I decided, as an explorer, I should track down some great recipes, that would be good for shipping overseas.  Let me share with you, where I have gone and what I have found.


I started at Lethally Delicious and found several great cookies and settled on these: 
Chocolate Mudslide Cookies - adapted from Jacques Torres
I got in my canoe and paddled over to Amy Ruth where I found these:
Moravian Ginger Thins

Over the mountain, I went to Sugar Plum  who has beautiful photos such as this one:
p5
Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies
(She has 106 cookies so check her out.)
One more should solve my baking challenge and that is why I landed at Baker's Corner to find these:
Buckwheat Cookies
Buckwheat Cookies
The recipes can be found on these wonderful bakers' blogs and I thank them for giving us their time and baking creativity.
Photobucket  Baking GALS (GALS stands for Give A Little Support) is a group of volunteer bakers from around the country who bake and ship homemade goodies to our heroic military men and women who are currently deployed in a war zone.

    Thanks for swinging by my blog - I lvoe finding new baking/cooking blogs for recipe inspiration. I am definitely going to swing by baking gals, I think it would be so fun to make a great care package for those caring for us and our country. Those mudslide cookies look great. Personally I love good ol' fashioned sugar cookies with royal icing for Christmas.

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 ...
