BIZZY BAKES

It is time for Taste and Create, an opportunity to cook from another foodie's blog.  Many of us have our Secret Recipe and are having fun doing this there.  I love this opportunity to cook, in this manner, twice a month. There is a difference between the two groups.  I am not sure how long Taste and Create has been around but I do know I have been participating in it for at least a year.  I have met the nicest people and cooked some new food and some familiar recipes.  Unlike Secret Recipe, the two partners cook from each other's blog.  That can be convenient if you have questions about the recipe. Both groups have in common fun and cooking. My partner is Melynda from Mom's Sunday Cafe.  She organizes Cookbook Sundays and works on Hearth and Soul amongst many activities that I don't know about.  I do hope, I will get to know her better. Now, I have to make a huge admission.  Yesterday, I woke up asking myself if I hadn't committed...

Taste and Create is actually overdue.  The funny part is that I made the recipe weeks ago but then forgot all about it.  My partner is Min from The Bad Girl's Kitchen .  You should check that site out and better still, you might like to join in Taste and Create.  Each month, we are given a partner and we cook from that blog. This time, I picked a chicken recipe and adapted it to my family's taste.  The recipe was for a Spicy Chicken but I cut down the spices for hubby.  I made several chicken recipes, at the time and I am not sure if this is the right photo.  I hate to admit that but I have a few that fit the part and for some reason, I did not label them.  Yep, I am falling down on the job. Spicy Chicken with Peppers and Parsley (adapted ) 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast 1 Tbsp light Olive oil 1 small to medium onion, thinly sliced 2 red bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced 2 Tbsp soy sauce 20 leaves fresh sweet parsley (Min ...

I am in the middle of a mystery.  This muffin is a result of participating in Taste and Create .  When, I received my partner for this month, I was delighted.  I got Shelby from The Life and Love of Grumpy's Honeybunch.   I have admired Shelby's blogs and her recipes for ages and couldn't wait to get into her blog.  Of course, when I did, I wanted to make everything and we know, that wouldn't work.  After listing several recipes, I realized, I was planning to make muffins for my husband so why not save myself the work of making a decision and take the easy route.  I found this delicious almond breakfast muffin.  I added dried cherries to the batter and made it gluten-free. I knew, I should make it right away so it did not become a last minute pressure, rather than a joyous bake.   I made them, tasted and enjoyed, and typed up the post, in this blog.  Photos in place, I walked away, happy to be so organized. Now, are you wo...
