Chocolate Hand Pies

Just sounds kind of yummy.  Like Chocolate pop tarts?

Everything Lavash Crackers

I love Lavash though I haven't had it in years.  I liked it with butter and iced tea. 

Saucy Eggs (Shakshuka)

I've seen this type egg before but for some reason, I suddenly want to make it.  Maybe because I bought so many eggs.

Apple Pumpkin Upside Down Cake

This looks good.  Maybe a little high in sugar but I can play with that.

Garlic & Sesame Green Beans

Green beans.  They are all about the preparation.  On their own they are kind of bleh but with the right cooking/seasoning...YUM! Haven't tried this one but hoping it falls in the yum category. 

Champagne Gelee With Strawberries

This intrigues me.  Not sure why. 

Kiwi-Lime Pops

This sounds easy and refreshing.

TOFU Fries

I just want to try them.

Honey Mustard Tofu Tenders

This looks really good to me and I'm a big fan of honey-mustard.

Crispy Glazed Tofu With Bok Choy

I'm always looking for non meat alternatives.  Some say they hate tofu but I think it's all in how you prepare it.  This sounds good.  I'd need to buy special stuff to make it so it's iffy that I ever will but it does look good.  So maybe?

Lentil Patties

I like non meat food in the shape of a patty.  I can't explain it but everything looks good like that.

Red Lentil Hummus

I love Hummus.  I love Lentils.

DIY Instant Oatmeal

I always keep oatmeal in the house.  But not instant.  I can see where this might come in handy.  If I wasn't so addicted to toast I would make this for work.

Sneaky Blueberry Muffins

I like muffins. And I like healthy-ing up food.

Sweet & Sour Kale

I want to try this.  I have another sauteed Kale recipe that is good, but this one is sweet and sweet is always better.

Honey-Bourbon Peach Perserves

I make my own jam.  Just for me. I like peaches. I like honey.  I got custody of a bottle of some sort of bourbon. Meant to be, right??

Toasted Granola

I think this sounds tasty.  I like Granola.

Pumpkin Pancakes

I believe that pancakes can be healthy but the cup or so of maple syrup might ruin that.  Calorie-wise anyway.

Icing Glaze

This isn't really a recipe but it does sound yummy.  Just icing sugar with frozen juice concentrate (I'm thinking pink lemonade).

Green Apple & Green Tea Cider

I will either love this or hate this.

High Octane Pancakes

I love pancakes.  With real maple syrup.  Duh.

Tofu Jerky

  I liked this quite a bit.  It takes awhile and then you'll want to eat it all at once.  But I will make it again.

Classic Hummus - Made With Dried Chickpeas

I made this and it came out delicious.  What I liked about it is, it uses dried beans, not canned.  Much more ecomical!

Poppy Seed Doughnuts - Baked

I have a doughnut pan. I should use it.

Vegetable Birdseed (Millet) Pilaf

I used to make a vegetarian chili that had a millet base.  Not sure why I stopped making it.  It was pretty good.  I still have some millet so this would be a good recipe to try.

Grill-Smoked Baba Ghanoush

I have made Baba Ghanoush with an eggplant that I cooked over the flame of my gas stove.  It is very easy to do and gives the dish an amazing taste!

Creamy Black Pepper Coleslaw

  Coleslaw.  Big Fan. BIG fan!  But not very lucky at making it.  This one might be worth a try.

Chicken Breasts With Brown Butter Garlic Tomato Sauce

Not sure why this one caught my eye.  But it did.

3 Things To Do With ChickPeas

Roasted, sauced or smashed, chickpeas are yummy and nutritious.

Cheese Blintz Hot Cakes

What do I love?  Cheese Blintzes.  What else?  Pancakes. So natch, I must try this.

Roasted Peaches

Roasted Peaches?  What do you think?

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

I like this whole cauliflower movement. Finding new things to do with it.  I want to try this pizza crust.  I really don't see how it can be bad.

Green Apple & Green Tea Cider

I don't make drinks like this.  But this is tempting me.  Probably if I make it, I'll do a half version.   Not sure how to do 1 1/2 bags of tea but I'll figure something out.

Cool Whip Snickerdoodles - Cake Mix Cookies

Even though I like to make things from scratch, I do keep cake mix in the house and I love the idea for using it in an unconventional way.

Black Bean Burgers

I like veggie versions of burgers.  Usually I get them at Costco but I'd really like to make them myself.  So far I've had no luck.  Here's another one to try.

Baked Apple Coffee Cake

Well.  I like baked apples.  And I love cake.  So why not?

Cranberry Cake Pudding

 I do love cranberry in cakes and such.  The tart/sweet combo just works, right?  The fact that this is a 'cake pudding' suggests a very moist cake to me.  Yummy.

Lightning Fast Jam (No Pectin)

Yes, I make my own jam.  Usually I do a basic jam with low sugar Pectin.  But what if I ran out of it?  I order it online but what if I'm out of pectin and out of jam???  This one has no pectin.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chickpea Cupcakes

I have no problem with Gluten.  Big fan!  I even add extra gluten to my breads.  But this just looked like a healthier version of a dessert treat and I just might have to try it.

Avocado Truffles

4 oz 70% Dark Chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 Tbsp pureed Avocado, fresh or frozen and defrosted
pinch of Salt
1/8 C cocoa powder

Melt chocolate in a double broiler over a pot of boiling water or in a bowl over warm water. Stir in avocado and salt. As you stir it should thicken to a frosting-like texture.

Cover and chill bowl until ganache thickens, about 25 minutes. Using a melon baller, scoop bite-size pieces of ganache and roll them in your hands to form balls. If balls aren't forming, refrigerate ganache for 30 minutes more.

Place cocoa powder in a small bowl, then roll each of the truffle balls in cocoa powder to coat. Store them in a cool spot or in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Carrot Soup - My Favourite

I love this soup.

Chippity Do Dah! - Light Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chippity Do Dah!
	There is a time and place for everything, people. And the time is NOW for chocolate chip cookies at the HG HQ!!! We've developed a recipe for extra-soft, chocolate-chip-packed cookies. Our doughy double C creation is actually more like a hybrid of cookies, soft snack bars, and muffins! And unlike some other cookie recipes that yield four dozen cookies and require several baking pans (who needs FOUR DOZEN cookies?!?), our recipe makes exactly eight chunky soft cookies for your chewing pleasure! What are you waiting for? Grab the chocolate chips and flour... STAT! Ingredients: 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour 1/2 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated) 6 tbsp. unsweetened applesauce 1/4 cup canned pure pumpkin 1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters) 2 1/2 tbsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips 2 tbsp. brown sugar, not packed 3/4 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/8 tsp. salt Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients except for the chocolate chips (flour, Splenda, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt). Mix well. In a separate bowl, mix together all wet ingredients (applesauce, pumpkin, egg substitute, and vanilla extract). Add this mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir until completely blended. Then, fold in the chocolate chips. Spray a large baking pan with nonstick spray, and spoon batter into 8 evenly spaced circles. Place pan in the oven for about 10 minutes (until cookies appear done and feel firm). Remove pan from the oven and allow cookies to cool slightly. For best results, enjoy while the cookies are still warm and the chips are still melty! MAKES 8 SERVINGS

Pumpkin Pancakes

Pancakes, how do I love thee.  Let me count the ways...

Strawberry Pie!

I love Strawberry Pie but for some reason, I rarely have it.  And I've never made it. Wellll, why not?  I looked up recipes and a lot of them had things like jello in it.  This one looks more like what I had in mind.

Hidden Compartment In A Book

This is clever.  I am going to try this. Unless I forget.

BOOKSHELF

I don't know if I'd ever have a spot for this but I want to pin in.  Just in case.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies

Just the name intrigues me. This came out of Martha Stewart Living May 2017.  Martha's recipes generally have too many ingredients for me to even bother. This is not that bad, and a spicy chocolate cookie sounds yummy.  Doesn't it?

Raspberry Key Lime Crepes

I bought a crepe pan many years ago at a thrift store.  It was last year that I finally tried it.  Very easy to use and fun. But I don't have good ideas about what to fill them with. I like this idea and I suppose I could do it with other berries. And maybe just regular lime juice OR lemon juice?  FYI it's almost impossible for me to follow a recipe exactly.

High Octane Pancakes

I love pancakes. When I get a craving for pancakes, that craving does not go away until I have them, not matter how long it takes. I'm happy to use a healthier recipe.  But calories are not an issue in the pancake recipe.  It's the maple syrup. I use a ton of it and only the real stuff will do.

Poppy Seed Doughnuts

These are, of course, oven baked.  I have 2 sizes of doughnut pans so I should maybe use one sometime?

Lentil Chickpea Chili

I don't remember where I found this but I love unique, non-meat versions of chili. Make a big batch and freeze so you don't have to do it again for awhile. 

Lentil-Chickpea Chili

6 cup vegetable stock or broth

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp salt

½ tsp turmeric

¼ tsp cayenne

1 pkg (16 oz) red lentils

1 can (14.5oz) diced tomatoes

1 dices sweet onion

1 diced carrot

2 diced celery ribs

3 cloves chopped garlic

2 bay leaves

2 cans (15oz each) chickpeas

Whisk vegetable stock or broth, tomato paste, mustard, cumin, salt, turmeric and cayenne. Stir in lentils, tomatoes, onion, carrot, celery, garlic and bay leaves. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours. Remove bay leaves. Stir in drained and rinsed chickpeas. Serve with naan

Tahini Carrot Soup / Chocolate Tahini Banana Bread

I saved this recipe, from Cooking Light May 2017, for the soup recipe but I might have to try the Bread too. Who doesn't like banana bread and this seems like an interesting twist on the old standard.

Tahini Sauce

From Cooking Light May 2017. I love Hummus so this sounds yummy.  Maybe on pasta?  And that tip at the top right turns it into Hummus. Haven't tried it yet. I'll update when/if I do.
