Sweet Mood

When I need to cheer up, I like to bake. Does anyone else do that?! For me, cooking is therapeutic…and by cooking, I clearly mean baking sweets. My expertise is pretty much limited to baking cookies, cakes, brownies, etc. I don’t do a lot of actual cooking, unless it involves tofu. Weird, I know.

Tvar _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-20949449-1’]);
_gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;
ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘https://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

Well, today was one of those baking days…and I totally just made this stuff up as I went along. I thought it turned out okay, but the real test is getting other people to try it. After all, I’m the girl who loves tofu and protein bars that have that protein “taste” to them…you protein bar eaters know what I mean. My family….ehh, we don’t all have the same food preferences. So we’ll see how these sweets go over 😉

_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-20949449-1’]);

var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;
ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘https://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

I started with Black Bean Brownies. I saw a can of black beans and got inspired…I’ve read a lot about these brownies on different blogs and I’ve always been curious about how they taste. So I created my own recipe as I went along…..and I think they’re edible. Good enough for me. haha. The only thing that would have made them better would be more sweetness. The cocoa powder made them a little bitter!
