This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Avocados from Mexico for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
After growing up in a house with two boys who proclaimed anything with a liquid base to be “not real dinner” (all I have to say to that is – milkshakes. Seriously. Yes.), I always feel like I have to defend soup when placing a bowl of it in front of someone and calling it a complete meal.
These chocolate hazelnut linzer cookies filled with raspberry jam are a Valentine’s Day dream!
Nothing bespeaks true love quite like a good sandwich cookie.
Think making sushi at home is hard? Think again – these Sushi with Curry-Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Avocado and Cardamom Millet Rice are super easy and super delicious.
So, if I had to choose five things to be stuck on a desert island with.
A lifetime supply of sushi (with an accompanying surfeit of soy sauce and pickled ginger) would be top three.
Need a little extra luck this new year? Head on over to Marcus Samuelsson’s blog to check out my post on this delicious and comforting black-eyed pea stew with cornmeal dumplings (adapted from Cooking Light January 2013).
This pasta with roasted vegetables and chipotle-goat cheese tomato sauce hits the spot with its creamy spicy sauce and heaps of veggies in every bite!
When The.Boy. and I first started dating, he was quite concerned that I would be one of those vegetarians.
You know which kind I mean. The sort that attempts to force their ethical, moral, socio-economical, political, and taste bud-ical beliefs on just about everyone they encounter, not limited to but including friends, family, boyfriends, random first dates (that then, I’m sure, never turn into second dates), and anyone standing in front of the mass-produced non-cage free/free-range chickens at the supermarket.
This rich red velvet and cinnamon layer cake is filled with a whipped cinnamon buttercream and frosting with an easy light whipped cream – perfect for Valentine’s Day!
I should really start this post with the disclaimer that there is not a single beet in this cake.
That may seem like superfluous information to some of you, like I’m just throwing out random tidbits of useless particulars. (So in that vein, for the record, it also contains not a leaf of swiss chard nor a floret of broccoli, regardless of how much that saddens my soul.)
But I had two people come up to me in lab inquiring about the root veggie-infusion status of it, so this is, like…a real thing.
