TTSPTip: Play With Your Food! (Faking Your Way Into Baking)

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: October 29, 2011

Fake your way into baking by using semi homemade recipes and jazzing it up! Now, I can say I have a much stronger sense that certain ingredients like vanilla can enhance flavors, but nutmeg and cinnamon can be paired up with certain fruits to round it out or add depth, and make cakes and other baked good from scratch. The same goes for non baking food. Play with your food, and you’ll have a better sense of how seasonings work, and more confidence!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 31, 2011

have made scones from scratch, biscuits, dinners, a peach cobbler with fresh sliced peaches, cakes, and interesting drinks! I have a few pictures of them prepared items and will try my best to share the recipes. Although I use recipes, I also get creative and add my own ingredients to it to give the dishes originality.

Must Try Junk Food: Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 2, 2011

For starters, the cookie is a whopping $.50, the perfect amount of money to try it, and if it doesn’t taste good, you didn’t go broke in being adventurous. (I find that to be a plus. Anyone else with me, here?) Biting into it, one will notice the chewy texture, and the golden buttery taste of the cookie, and then boom

Opa! My First Greek Yogurt! (Then my second one)+ A recipe!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: March 18, 2011

Greek yogurt was pretty good It’s thick, creamy, chock full of protein (12 grams!) and does vary from your typical very sweet yogurts out there. It also taste a tad bit more natural than say some other yogurts that are just full of sugar. Plus, it’s so thick, I turned my spoon over and the yogurt didn’t even budge. COOL!!

I expected this to not taste that much like a vanilla cupcake considering it has a graham cracker base. Upon opening the bag, you’ll notice that there are sprinkles on your goldfish grahams to imply that is it indeed a cupcake. (Nothing spells a cupcake like sprinkles, and don’t you forget it :) ) With the first bite, I was only able to taste a graham cracker and maybe a bit more butter

Strawberry Shortcake for Breakfast? Sorta!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: March 1, 2011

I figured toasted almond was more easy to imagine taste wise and wasn’t as interesting compared to the pink prettiness of the Strawberry Shortcake. I picked it up, excited about what newness I’d experience upon tasting it. And I sniffed it a little. OH goodness! It was heavenly! So juicy, sweet and flirty to my nostrils! SOLD!
