In the aftermath of the garage sale, I decided to forget about tidying up the remaining, mostly empty, boxes and instead got down to cooking and baking.
Since I had buttermilk left over from the red velvet cupcakes we made earlier this week (sans red food dye), I did a quick web search and found this tasty looking Raspberry Buttermilk Cake from Gourmet. Now, you can probably see that I didn't use raspberries -- I had blueberries and so that is what I subbed. It is easy, delicious and a recipe I imagine I'll be using again and again in the future.
For dinner we had brown rice & black beans topped with an egg over easy (yes, really -- an egg) and some salsa verde. Yummy and healthy comfort food. But of course, this photo is of homemade granola. I know I posted a granola recipe a while back, but this is my new and improved granola. I'll post the details on a day when I'm not so tired and cranky.
Oops! I didn't think to take a photo of my delicious lunch until it was all gone. Mango smoothies (lassi) are all the rage in our house right now. I cut up one mango, added some honey, oj, yogurt and ice, blended until smooth and we drank them down right quick. I really need to make more smoothies.
Now off to IKEA to check out their new goodies and grab some Swedish meatballs -- with lingon, of course! -- for din din.
Hey lady, That smoothy sounds really great. I love Mango Margaretta's so that would be yummy. I will have to try it soon. Went to some garage sales last weekend and found those old aluminum serving dish with legs. My mother use to have some of those type things. I got it for 1.00. Would be good to put homemade candy etc. on at parties.
