A Few New Things

Here are a few new things I have been working on for my Etsy store.  I think they are pretty cute!

Avocado and Ponzu

I'm a Foodbuzz featured publisher. Sometimes I get samples of things to try out.

On Wednesday I found a surprise package from Kikkoman on my doorstep.

Yay! for surprise packages!

As you can see from the picture above, my bottle leaked inside the package.

Whoops!

Guess Kikkoman didn't plan on freezing Minnesota winter weather.

Couldn't they just have mailed a coupon for a free bottle?

Oh, well I liked getting a package!

The first thing I tried the Ponzu with was an avocado.

Mmmmm it was soooo good!

Lime, salt, sweet with rich buttery avocado.

Yum!

Check back later for a shrimp croquette recipe using Ponzu.

Lemon YumYums

These are the easiest cookies to make.

Three ingredients!

Perfect when you have unexpected guests, like your mother-in-law, and you want to impress.

Or if you forget about the bake sale, that starts in an hour.

Lemon YumYums

Ingredients:

1 pkg cake mix

1 stick of cold butter

2 large eggs

In a food processor blend cake mix and butter for 2 mins. Add eggs, mix until thoroughly combined, another 2 mins.

With wet hands roll the batter into walnut sized balls, about 1 Tbs of batter each.

Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 mins., until light golden brown on edges. Cookies will still be soft in the center.

Optional: Roll cookies in powdered sugar before baking.

These are so good! Soft and chewy with crispy edges.

I'm adding a few of these to the giveaway box - don't forget to enter!

TLC Bay-be

I made a little snack for Lavender today.

The level in the waterer keeps going down, so I know she's drinking, but she isn't eating very much.

Of course, sitting on a nest doesn't use up too many calories, except she has to keep the eggs nice and hot.

I scrambled 2 eggs with a little milk, water, oatmeal, olive oil and brewer's yeast.

She gobbled it up!

The other ladies enjoyed their half of the snack too.
