Tuesday I had a slight fever. I felt paralyzed and helpless and we ate leftovers. Nothing wrong with leftovers, but if you are anything like me, you start twitching when you don't cook. I guess it's more like I went on a cooking/baking tirade this week. I just NEEDED to do it. So here's some of my creations from my delusional week.
First I corrected the issue I had with the Inca Kola cupcakes. I also had a bit of free time on my hands so I sculpted some fondant flowers.
The day after that is when I got him with symptoms of grogginess and lack of energy. A day passed and I decided to make up for my lack of activity so I made these. They didn't really take too much effort, but a hump day dinner, I guess it was a bit of a nutso job. I did run my dishwasher twice (or was it three times?).
I first made these biscottis. I can't take up for the credit, this one was Giada de Laurentiis' recipe. I did put French grey sea salt instead of just sea salt. I don't think that will still make it my recipe.
Then I looked in my fridge, and hey, there are carrots. Loads and loads of carrots. Why did I buy these much carrots? Only one way to fix it!
I actually wanted to put baking soda in this, I ran out coz I was unclogging our sink. It turned out to be a good thing coz adding that extra 1/2 tsp of baking powder made it oh so fluffy wuffy. (Baby talk, gross, forgive me, I've been getting all crazy giddy over potty training my toddler--- that's another story).
I guess we can't have dinner with appetizer and dessert, well in theory, it technically can happen, but I know my boys would go crazy if I didn't offer some type of main course. I have a serious addiction to goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes together. I just LOOOOVE it. Any sausage with fennel seeds in it, count me in. Best way to combine them all? The usual way I do it, except this time, I decided not to include cream. You know, I had to cut down on some carbs with this meal.
I think my fridge is stocked up for food until Friday dinner. We'll see. Today, I might just tackle on ice cream again. My new ice cream make is my favorite new friend. I'm totally biased to it right now. LOOOVE it, I just love it!
