Cranberry Oatmeal Walnut Cake - THB

The latest bake for THB, the Home Bakers is Cranberry-Oatmeal-Walnut Cake, selected by Kit from I-Lost In Austen.  The recipe is on her blog.  She made these huge muffins.  What a treat!

 I made mine gluten-free so I never know how to compare it to those are baking with "real" flour.  This cake called for a full one and a half cups of oats.  All in all, it was not sweet enough for my taste.  Some of the bakers used dried cranberries which are sweeter and had a better cake.  The fresh cranberries are quite tart and even hubby commented on it.

Hop on over here. to see what the other bakers have made.

    Chaya, I love your moist, scrumptious, and colorful cake, filled with cranberries...which is so perfect for the fall season. Also, tracking back to your two previous posts; The tomato sauce with the turkey meatballs, is for sure a different version; by Nigella who I adore, and love her recipes.

    You did an outstanding job of the sauce and the meatballs...seriously drooling over the velvety tomato sauce, and the yummy little meatballs...a must make (I have always made my sauce with fresh basil, but thyme is so perfect, as well)
    Your roast (capcicum)...peppers, with the chicken, and the penne, is awesome, and love it! Bookmarking all these to try...thanks for sharing!
    Shabbat Shalom!

    Hi Chaya,
    Your are right, these are not sweet at all. And the frozen cranberries that I've used are really sour! I ate of the muffins myself, for breakfast and tea break. On the plus side, this is a healthy snack!

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.

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 ...
