Avocado-Black Bean Brownies
I just made some of the best tasting brownies ever and the ingredients resemble salsa more than it resembles a pastry. Why would I ever change the perfect brownie recipe I had? Simple: Jess’ doctors recommended she eat a bit lower on the Glycemic Index and with all the white flour and sugar in my regular recipe, it just wasn’t going to cut it.
I played around a bit with this recipe and I think I have it where I want it, but if you want to play some, I’d welcome the ideas. This still contains some sugar, as I didn’t want to go the artificial sweetener route, but way less than a standard recipe. Continue reading
Queen Bee Cupcakes – Seaside
You ever have one of those days where nothing seems to be going right? The day I discovered Queen Bee Cupcakes started off being one of those. The first sign that I was in trouble came from the weather. Since the farmer’s market is a good 45 minutes away I had to get up early and leave just after sunrise, yet when I was getting ready to go, it was still dark out. Upon further review, it was storming out… and not one of those nice little showers, I’m talking gale force winds here, people. Oh well, I needed to get milk and eggs and by Jove I was going!

Birthday Shortcake
I celebrated my birthday this week and to celebrate I decided to make myself some strawberry shortcakes instead of the “traditional” birthday cake. Why did I do this?
Well, the first reason is that I am just not a huge fan of cakes from a store (even birthday cakes), but the second reason is that it is strawberry season! Continue reading
