Sunday baking/cooking/eating?
Did you make anything good this weekend? What was the best thing you ate this weekend? As always, share a recipe if you have a hit.
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.
Re: Sunday baking/cooking/eating?
Didn't cook anything special but we ordered pizza from the organic pizza place by us last night. If you're ever in N. Hollywood, you should check it out. http://www.lenzinishollywood.com/

We made more pineapple guava cobbler, and dinner tonight was pretty awesome if I do say so myself - Greek shrimp saganaki (prawns in a tomato sauce with herbs and feta), which we had over polenta and sauteed collards and beet greens. Yum!
ETA: here's the guava cobbler recipe. You could use any kind of fruit.
I was trying to make sugar cut-out cookies for DH to take to work today but that was a fail. I had a cookie mix from the box I used as a backup.
I did make chicken pot pie via Pillsbury recipe. It turned out pretty good...except that some of the filling leaked and burnt on the bottom of my oven.

I made/baked:
-pumpkin oatmeal bread w/homemade cream cheese frosting
-applesauce nut bread from here http://www.skinnytaste.com/

-chickpea tacos (recipe below):
Chickpea tacos:
-1 can of chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
-1 tbsp of tamari sauce (or low sodium soy sauce)
-2 tsp of fresh lemon juice
-taco seasoning (if you use the packets, use about 1/2. If you make your own. use about a 1tbsp)
-Hard taco shells
-toppings for tacos
Pre heat oven to 400 degrees.
Wisk the sauce, lemon juice and taco seasoning in a bowl. Put chickpeas in the mixture and mix.
Put the chickpeas on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 mins or until crunchy
Meanwhile prepare toppings for tacos.
Once chickpeas are done, take out of oven and assemble tacos.
Enjoy!
Since DH was out of town this weekend, I wined and dined myself on Saturday with some baked salmon, shrimp, and a glass of my favorite Chardonnay.
Yesterday I baked chocolate chip cookies for our work potluck today.
I made white chocolate candy corn M&M cookies. SO yum. I just used the Nestle Toll House choc chip cookie recipe but subbed candy corn (white chocolate) M&Ms for the chips. SO SO good. I shared with friends and they were raving. I highly recommend.
