This brightly flavored ginger carrot soup topped with coconut-laced collard greens and Dukkah, an Egyptian condiment made of toasted nuts and seeds, is full of the kinds of great flavor and texture you can crave!
Good news.
I still eat vegetables!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These oreo-like cookie sandwiches are all grown up with their hint of spice and sprinkling of salt! They will be a definite WOW on your cookie tray!
You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and put on a purple shirt and dark blue jeans.
And then you get into lab and find that EVERYONE ELSE IS WEARING PURPLE SHIRTS AND DARK BLUE JEANS.
Whoa!!!! Coincidence. (Or conspiracy. ??)
And you’re all like OMG! We sOoOoOoOoO didn’t plan this.
This elegant tart has a crisp cookie crust that is filled with a layer of salted caramel and topped with a thick decadent ganache.
I feel a leeetttllle bit bad about depriving you of your normal Wednesday health-full post.
But totally NOT because today a group of other bloggers and I are celebrating our friend Audra of The Baker Chick, who is giving birth to her first baby in January!!
And such a ridiculously fabulous event as that deserves the most decadent of the decadent.
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Millennial Central for Budweiser. I received a product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.
Truth. I drank three beers this weekend in the name of science.
It was kind of sort of a non-IRB approved “social experiment”, if you will. Or some kind of new drinking game?
I call it – “Stress Drinking With A Purpose”.
(Be honest – it needs work if it’s ever going to catch on with the frat bros. Something short and sweet and cutesy and totally descriptive like “Beer Pong” or “Flip Cup”. I’m on it.)
Mostly it involves drinking beer instead of watching the endless football games that are playing on your tv against your better judgment.
Or drinking beer instead of preparing for a presentation you have to give in a mere 48 hours…
Spinach pie or spanakopita gets a wintry twist with the addition of caramelized roasted delicata squash chunks!
If you ever want your fiance to reconsider proposing marriage to you, just desecrate the food of his ancestors.
Switch up ingredients! Add orange vegetables! USE LESS NO BUTTER!
And do it all with the kind of reckless disregard for tradition that makes people turn in their graves.
The perfect chewy chocolate chip cookie filled with chunks of gooey chocolate as well as traditional chips – these definitely hit the spot when you’re craving a little bit of homemade indulgence!
Cue the caroling and rev up your ovens.
I official declare it: The Holidays.
We are in it, people. Whether we like it or not.
Whether cookie baking, with all of it’s running back and forth to the oven every ten minutes, makes us feel like we’re in lab putting coverslips full of adipocytes through an exocytosis assay.
Anyone? Just me? Bueller?
Hmmm.
Welcome to Eats Well With Others, where we take a vegetable-and-cupcake laden approach to life (always with a bit of laughter on the side)!
