I don't have any good recipes, unfortunately, unless you would like some of my mom's old Chanukkah recipes... but I have a felling some of those are a little too exotic They're definitely acquired tastes- you probably wouldn't like it if you hadn't grown up eating it!

But the only food my writer eats is almonds. Plain, unsalted, unseasoned almonds. She's obsessed.

This is truly epic... trust me


Chocolate & Zucchini Cake
- 240 grams (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 60 grams (1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder

- 115 grams (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature, or 1/2 cup virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules or 2 tablespoons strong cooled coffee -- this is just to deepen the chocolate flavor, you won't taste it in the finished product

Red Velvet Macaroons:



Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons buttermilk
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon red food coloring

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 1 pound cream cheese, softened
• 2 sticks butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans, optional

Directions


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time. Then beat in the buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla and red food coloring. Once combined, add the dry ingredients to wet. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Onto a parchment lined sheet tray, drop batter using an ice cream scoop, forming 2-inch round circles.

Bake for 10 minutes, until baked through. Cookies should be cake-like and light. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together until smooth. Add the sugar and on low speed, beat until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluffy.

Spread the cream cheese frosting between 2 cooled cookies and roll the edges in finely chopped pecans, if desired.

This recipe was created by Paula Deen, the queen of butter. Oh, how I love this woman's food.

My favourite food right now is any type of sushi. But I especially love fashion sandwiches.

[Fern Martin]

Since its thanksgiving...we are going to have...*drumroll please............* Turkey!! One of the few things I look forward to every year is the stuffing from the turkey. It is soooo good I could eat just that and Id be happy. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[Tahirah Myra Setesh]

These recipes look so good. Maybe someday I will post a recipe for Snickers cake which I make sometimes.

[Daniel Brady]

I just find it interesting how some people that are lactose intolerant can have organic milk. I am lactose intolerant and can have it.

[Fern Martin]

Yeah its specially made for lactose intolerant people. I can drink milk fine, but certain ice creams and most shakes make me sick literally. I avoid them 95% of the time. .gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='xD' /> _emoticon_by_simonka-d3103v2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='X3' />

I didn't know that. I should drink more organic milk.. though I barely drink any form of milk.

If I can find my recipe for Mars Bar Rice Krispie cakes then I'll share it here

I had sooo much sushi today. I had eel sushi, its not good. Yuck. Very fishy flavor, even with wasabi.

[Raiden Yakuza]

Kind of food related...Had a Red Savina Habanero pepper(Not a full-sized that would be suicide) over the holidays on a bet, and my god my mouth has never been in so much pain. Probably wasn't worth 20 dollars, oh well.

[Fern Martin]

^Sounds like a bet? lol. Yeah Ive had bits of habanero...and yeah its sooo hot. There was this one time I went to Buffalo Wild WIngs and I ordered the blazin wings (which are the hottest wings) and then probably after ten minutes after finishing them, I had to wipe my eye because it was itchy. I used my hands and I will never forget how my eyes were stinging. I had to order ice water and wash it, while people are looking at me. I couldn't keep my eyes open.

hehe. I just went there for dinner tonight. I love their Asian zing. Not too spicy, but does give a powerful kick.

[Fern Martin]

Yeah thats one of my favorite flavors. Its a bit spicy but doesn't make you pant like a dog haha and make you searching for water. ASian Zing and the garlic ones are amazing. Also a little tip for you all, MILK is the best and fastest remedy for anything hot and spicy. Seriously, once the milk hits your tongue, its relieves it. THough if you've had something insanely hot, the milk will only calm it down and you will still feel the burn. For that, I usually keep the milk in my mouth until it gets war. Try it, you will thank me I guarantee it.
