Thomas and I usually spend a significant portion of our day with the Food Network channel on. (His favorites are Ina and Giada). Matt seems to have a thing for peanut butter lately, so I tried Ina's chocolate cake recipe with peanut butter frosting for his birthday. It was SO delicious.
I got the idea for black bean burgers from Sandra Lee's show. She actually drives me crazy. I can't stand the way she talks and I think her "tablescapes" and tacky matching outfits are ridiculous. But these seemed tasty and healthy, so I gave them a try. We had ranch dressing instead of the usual condiments and on the first round we had them with sweet potato fries. I am pretty pleased with myself because sweet potatoes have always been one of the very few foods I don't like, but I've finally embraced them. Speaking of good foods, we're off to eat Momma Johnston's fine cooking and meet new baby Violet!
Peanut Butter is ALWAYS my thing. That cake looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWe are excited for you guys to move out to Virginia. You will only be about 1 1/2 hours from us so we can get together!
Ina and Giada are two of my favorites as well. And I don't know anyone who can stand Sandra Lee! Anyways, thanks for the food posts. They make me happy!
