Tasty (Kitchen) Tennis… Tofu for Dessert

June 21st, 2010


For the second match of Tasty (Kitchen) Tennis… our players had to come up with Tofu for Dessert…

Aaron started with a brilliant Ace that led to him winning the match with his own recipe of Chocolate Mousse Cake. He found it to be very good the next day as the taste of tofu was gone.

While Ginny continued her brownie obsession with a serve of Vegan Chocolate Brownies. Afraid of tofu, she added 1 cup of chocolate chips and iced with chocolate butter cream. However, these addition were unnecessary because these brownies are amazing! Very moist and cake-like!

Don’t miss the third round in two weeks! These master (kitchen) tennis players will be back to bring you: EDIBLE FLOWERS for BREAKFAST!

Please stay tuned!

Also, if you would like to participate in the next round, email ginnygetsfloury [at] gmail [dot] com by July 3, 2010, the name of your blog, its URL, the recipe and a photograph. If you don’t have a blog, feel free to participate- just email me the recipe with a picture. I’ll hope you join us for another round of Tasty (Kitchen) Tennis!

Chocolate Cravings…

May 6th, 2010


I’m living in a fog of partnerships, corporations, international copyright, patents… oh yes, first rule of food blogger don’t bore your readers… sorry!

However, thoughts of chocolate were distracting me from studying so I made these Best Cocoa Brownies from Alice Medrich’s Bittersweet via Piece of Cake.  They were delicious!  Decadent and fudgy!  Considering this cookbook has a section on brownies, I’ll be checking it out this summer… mmm… how many brownies is too many in one day?

Celebrate Good Times…

Come on! Today was the last day of class… so exciting! Just need to study for exams and then summer!

I’ll be in DC this summer so I’m beginning the fun and creative process of cleaning out the fridge, freezer and pantry… So many fun ideas…  stay tuned… also, I’ll start working on the Culinary Mad Libs recipes… if you have not given me an ingredient and entered the giveaway, please jump on over and leave a comment.

Recently, I was enthralled by Ideas in Food’s Hot Chocolate Brownies.  They always have such amazing ideas.  I happened to have some really good dark swiss chocolate hot chocolate mix that I used. I did not add the nuts or caramel. They were very good, however, they did have more of a box-brownie taste than I would have liked.  Of course, not enough to stop me from devouring them.
