After letting the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, take it out and let it sit on the cooling rack for a bit. Remove the paper from the bottom. Whoops, some cake went with it.<br />

This recipe....so good. That's all I can say. It came from Eating Well in Season: The Farmers' Market Cookbook by Jessie Price and the Editors of Eating Well. It was published in 2009. This meal took a long time to cook, but it was super quick to prepare! It was full of flavor and I will probably make this many more times. It was under the winter recipes part of the book, but that didn't stop me!<br />

First up: parsnips! Peel and core the parsnips and then cut into sticks. I did not particularly care for the smell of the parsnips, but the flavor was oh so yummy.<br />
<br />

This was such a task for me to cut! A rutabaga is usually coated in wax. That was easy... cutting it was the difficult part! My "sticks" were uneven, but it was okay! The smell was similar to that of horseradish, but not as strong and the taste wasn't even close!<br />

We usually go to the Farmer's Market, but this year I wanted to attempt to grow my own! I went to Home Depot and bought all of the things I needed to do so! Including items to build a shelving unit to hold them! I had no idea what I was doing, but when I got there the employees were so helpful! I told them the basic idea I had for the shelf and they helped me design it. We gathered all of the appropriate materials including wood, a drill, screws and planting items and headed home!<br />

It has been very rainy these past few weeks, so I didn't want my plants to drown! They still received plenty of sun, so they were okay!<br />

They are small tomatoes, meant to be grown in a smaller area. (duh!) They are starting to get very tall, so a lattice will be be put up behind it to allow it to grow straight up without toppling over.<br />

Once they grow a little larger, they will have individual pots. These are starter boxes, so they are okay for now. Starting from the left I have cucumbers, squash, snap peas and green beans. Like the tomatoes, they will need a lattice behind them to help them grow.<br />

The recipe is fairly simple but I did not care for it all that much. I don't think it had enough flavor. There seemed to be something missing. Although I did not like the meal, I wanted to share the recipe. I think that everything I try (and document) should be shared regardless of if it was a success or not. <br />

I feel like I never have enough magnets on the fridge in the kitchen. We had a few bumper stickers lying around the house that I had wanted to make into magnets. They could be used in the kitchen or put on the back of your car!<br />

The first two I did had to do with beer! One is from Victory Brewing Company and the other is a bumper sticker that Ian received when he became part of the Homebrew Association.<br />

The recipe calls for sharp cheddar cheese, shredded. I was too lazy to make it shredded so I just chopped it up. I'm sure I could have bought the cheese already shredded... whoops.<br />

This recipe was absolutely delicious and fairly easy to make! It became a tad messy, but it was so worth it! You do have to let it sit overnight, which is the only sad part about this delicious dessert.<br />

Take another wire rack and place it over the cake pan. Invert the two. Remove the pan and cover the cake with the other rack. Invert again. As you can see, my cake got a little stuck. No biggie, I worked with it!<br />

<br />
Grab that grocery list!<br />
<br />
Cake:<br />
-1 3/4 cups bleached all purpose flour, plus more for the pan<br />
-2 teaspoons baking powder<br />
-12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter, room temperature<br />
-1 1/2 cups granulated sugar<br />
-1 /2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract<br />
-3 large eggs<br />
-1 cup whole milk<br />
<br />
Chocolate Sauce:<br />
-4 cups confectioners' sugar<br />
-1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder<br />
-2/3 cup boiling water<br />
<br />
Also, coconut. 3-4 cups. The recipe called for unsweetened, but it was very hard to find so I used sweetened and it didn't make it too sweet.<br />

Combine the yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, cardamom, cayenne, turmeric, salt and pepper.<br />
<br />

I used greek yogurt, so it was a bit thicker than if I used regular yogurt. It was still a great marinade.<br />
<br />

I forgot this step, but did it before I put it in the oven. Either way will work fine. I massaged each piece of chicken with the marinade. The recipe calls to <b>marinade it overnight</b>. I have a vacuum sealer that has a marinade option on it. I had it in the container for about an hour. The flavors were still fantastic.<br />

I used to keep my spices in a drawer, however I wanted them to be easily accessible. Here's a neat idea!<br />
<br />

<br />
The first step is to obtain small favor containers, super glue and magnets.<br />
<br />

It has 25 containers in it.<br />
<br />
I glued magnets on the back of the containers, made labels for the side and put them on the side of my fridge! The side of my fridge is against the counter that I usually work on, so they are easy to grab when I need them.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of how it turned out:<br />

NOW! I used a pan that was too big, so it spread out too much and tasted/seemed more like a bread pudding. It was delicious, however I was not a big fan. I decided that the filling itself was very yummy. So, I just made a regular pie with the filling...adding pears to the mixture.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's measure out everything!<br />
<br />
<b>Crust:</b><br />
-2 cups yellow cake mix (not the super-moist kind...which I used. Perhaps a reason my pie was more of a bread pudding?)<br />
-6 tablespoons butter<br />
-1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)<br />
<br />
<b>Fillings:</b><br />
-3 apples; peeled, cored and thinly sliced.<br />
-2 tablespoons of lemon juice (in my traditional pie, I used the juice of one fresh lemon)<br />
-1/2 cup of apricot jam (I used preserves)<br />
-1/2 cup raisins (optional)<br />
-3/4 teaspoon cinnamon<br />
-4 tablespoons white sugar<br />
<br />
<b>Topping:</b><br />
-1 cup sour cream<br />
-1 egg<br />
-3 tablespoons white sugar<br />
-1 teaspoon vanilla<br />

<br />
This recipe was fairly simple, yet a little time consuming. Took about an hour all together. The flavors blended very well together. I may use a little less blue cheese next time because I found it overpowering, but it did go nicely with the pear. The brandy had a nice warm feeling as it made its way to the stomach.<br />
<br />

<br />
This smelt so wonderful while I was making it! Curry is a delicious spice and reminds me of Ramen Noodles. I'm not sure if it should, but that is what it does!<br />
<br />
What do you need for this delicious recipe?<br />
-1/2 red cabbage, thinly sliced<br />
-1 red bell pepper, chopped<br />
-1/2 red onion, chopped<br />
-4 tablespoons of white or red wine vinegar or cider vinegar<br />
-1/2 cup Greek yogurt<br />
-1/2 cup mayonnaise<br />
-1/4 teaspoon curry powder (I used 1/2 teaspoon and could probably have used more)<br />
-2-3 handfuls of raisins (I used two personal sized boxes)<br />
-salt and ground black pepper<br />

As stated in my post, I did forget the garlic until afterward. I missed over that step. Oh well, it was added after and tastes delicious.<br />
<br />
Get those grocery lists out!<br />
-1 2/3 pounds of tomatoes, diced. (I used two)<br />
-1 onion, chopped<br />
-1 mild fresh chilli pepper, chopped (I used a cubanelle pepper)<br />
-pinch of sugar<br />
-4 garlic cloves, chopped<br />

-3 tablespoons olive oil<br />
-zest and juice from 1 lemon<br />
-1 tablespoon cider vinegar<br />
-salt and ground black pepper<br />
