Recipe Testing and More

This week, we had been testing some recipes for the Food Snob. With the Pumpkin dip, I enlisted the help of Aliyah. I could already see Catherine's cookbook as a hit to parents cooking with children. Aliyah said she could eat this with anything.

I took a photo of the Peanut Butter dip, but it doesn't do justice to it, so I'm not posting that, but it was nevertheless good and Zurielle has been devouring it by itself.

We baked three kinds of muffins in one testing. Yes, three, which translates to 18 muffins. With very few basic ingredients, the result was fantastic and everyone was happy. By the way, there are 11 variations in this recipe. Way to go, Catherine!




At first, I had doubts with the broccoli in this Hoisin Stir-Fry. Until the last minute, it looked so raw, but after removing the pan from the heat and adding the sauce, it ended up so perfect, cooked crunchy as with the rest of the other vegetables in it. This is such a lovely dish. I served it in a bed of udon noodles which is an excellent choice. Again, everyone was happy...





So here's to Catherine and her upcoming cookbook!

Four successful recipes and we are so ready to test more.

That pumpkin dip really looks delicious - as does everything! The raw-er broccoli is in stir-fries, the better!

"Food Snob" has some amazing stuff coming out when the recipes are all done. I can hardly wait! That Hoisin Stir Fry looks spectacular. Udon noodles are some of my faves to have with stir fry, Kai.

Those muffins look outrageous and the peanut butter dip makes more than just veggie kid :o) hungry... great presentation of photos there, believe me, Kai!!

Hope you are having a blessed, beautiful Memorial Day weekend!
