In the holiday spirit? Nah, not so much. However, I decided to bust out this Lupicia Decaf Carol and try it out.
Let’s be honest, something named Carol I assumed it was a holiday tea. However it’s strawberry vanilla. This would be great with milk if that’s how you take your tea. It’s a great dessert tea since its decaf yet has a nice fruity flavour. The vanilla mellows it out quite a bit and I was pleasantly surprised.

Oh man, I so wanted these waffles to turn out. Veggie Sue posted about these Oatmeal Waffles during Vegan MoFo and I wanted to try them so bad. No added oil which is fine and no refined flour. Pretty awesome.
However they were floppy. And not super tasty. I saved some to reheat because the toaster always makes waffles extra crispy. But nope, they didn’t crisp up at all. In fact, they even slouched in the toaster and tried to commit suicide. They just were not good. I love fat-free vegan stuff but this wasn’t up my alley.

Another cookie recipe. This sugar cookie can be shaped as anything but hey, I have a Star of David cookie cutter and it’s almost Hanukkah! Hanukkah and Thanksgiving all on the same day, sounds like a recipe for lots of tasty food! We’re heading out to a friend’s house, or maybe two. Lots of time with friends since family are far away.
This recipe gets a bit of tang from sour cream. Perfect if you are like us and can never use up a whole container of sour cream, it’s just not on our condiment list usually. A little bit of lemon to brighten things up as well. Plus, coloured sugar. That’s always festive! You can make the dough ahead and keep it in the fridge for a few days if needed. Perfect if you want fresh cookies the day of your holiday or if you just don’t have time to make everything on the same day.

Oh tomatillos. I can’t say I ever experimented with you as a food stuff until I moved to California. However now you rock my world. The husk on them are weird but they make an awesome salsa. The fruit itself isn’t always green but at my farmers market that’s the most popular one. These are so popular in Texan and Mexican cuisine that it’s totally worth picking up a pound or so and figuring them out. Seriously, pair them with garlic and you’ve got a winner!

More cookies, don’t be surprised. These dream cookies caught my eye. Chocolate chip with a bit of peanut butter, I’m in.
These were really tasty. The texture of the spelt flour and the flax seed was really nice. I’m not sure it needed all that coconut oil, if I made them again I would cut that way back. The peanut butter wasn’t measured so that’s probably why I didn’t think they needed all the fat. Still darn tasty and awesome warm right out of the oven. I highly recommend!

More banana muffins. I know. I can’t help it. I’m spacing on where the recipe was from so I’ll fill that in once I go through my browser history. The streusel on these was pretty cool with the nuts being a feature. I had to be sure to press them into the batter a bit though so they don’t fall off!

Seriously, my stomach has been a complete write off since Friday so I didn’t take photos of my food. I know, so sad. Let’s just say I’m keeping my calories up with toast and bagels. I had veggies last night at dinner which was exciting so I came to work today. Had to bust out the rainboots, it’s raining in SF for the second day in the row.

I got the stomach flu for my birthday and I’m still not over it. So I took today off (I made it a whole half day yesterday) to work from home and drink tea.
Okay, dragon pearl or in this case Jasmine Phoenix Pearl is one of my favourite teas. I couldn’t resist it. It’s just brilliant. It’s very floral and the jasmine is just the right amount. I guess it’s aromatic but it was great for me. It is extremely smooth and never got bitter. Totally impressed.

Well, it’s another #SundaySupper and the theme was squash. I’m going to be honest here… I don’t like squash. Sorry! However, pumpkin is technically a squash and I can bake a ton of tasty treats with that! Just can’t appreciate it savory, go figure.
I had a hard time deciding on what to create. I obviously have scones on my mind as I just made another recipe on Thursday but they went too fast. I’ve been making a lot of pumpkin creations but I haven’t had pumpkin scones in a while. I figured a nice scone with some icing would be perfect. Most scones have egg or egg replacer, I just used a bit of extra pumpkin. These turned out so nice! I was pretty proud to bring these to work, but also a little bummed because I had to share them. I guess I’ll just make more.
I like to make smaller scones and this recipe gives me 12. More than enough to share. The drizzle is so easy and the pinch of nutmeg really does stand out!
