Chewy Butterscotch  Cookies   - Paula Deen
I rarely bake with molasses and this is one time, I did so, and it was a success.
Chewy Toffee Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies-  Paula Deen   (adapted)
Ingredients
  1. 3 cups gluten free mixture  (rice, tapioca and potato starch)
  2. 1 cup  pecans
  3. 2 teaspoons baking powder
  4. 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  5. 1 cup margarine, softened
  6. 1 cup sugar
  7. 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  8. 1⁄4 cup  Molasses
  9. 2 large eggs
  10. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  11. 1/2 cup butterscotch chips

Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In the work bowl of a food processor, add flour, pecans, baking powder, and salt; process until nuts are finely ground into flour.
  3. In a large bowl, beat margarine and sugars at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add molasses, eggs, and vanilla; beat on low speed just until blended. Gradually add flour mixture, beating just until dough forms. Stir in butterscotch bits. Roll dough into 1-inch balls.  (Do not flatten.) Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly flattened. Let cool on pans for 15 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

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.

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.

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

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
