Clean Eating Zucchini Chips | The Joy of Clean Eating

Brownie Mosaic Cheesecake
Behold, a gorgeous four-part cheesecake in all of its glory: Oreo crumb crust. Creamy cheesecake. Fudgy brownies. WOW. Although the cheesecake is comprised of four components, it wasn’t complicated at all to put together, so please don’t be intimidated! We need to talk about the crust. The cheesecake itself has the perfect texture – wonderfully creamy and melts in your mouth. Craving more cheesecake? One year ago: Hearty Beef Stew with Sweet Dinner Rolls
Minimally Invasive » Yep, More Chicken
Hi, it’s me, your favorite disappearing blogger! I’ve been tied up with work and taking care of the doggies while Gil‘s away this week, but I didn’t want to let too much time pass before posting about this heavenly dish – skillet rosemary chicken. I still haven’t quite figured out what makes it so wonderful because there’s nothing out of the ordinary about it. I mean, combining chicken with lemon, potatoes, garlic & rosemary… ROSEMARY! But really, there’s just something about it that knocked my socks off. It’s probably the copious chicken fat the potatoes and mushrooms roast in, now that I think about it. recipe after the jump Skillet Rosemary Chicken lightly adapted from Food Network If I plan ahead next time, I’ll probably marinate the chicken for a couple of hours before continuing with the recipe. Preheat the oven to 450. Pile the rosemary leaves, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and the red pepper flakes on a cutting board, then mince and mash into a paste using a large knife.

Homemade Vanilla Extract | Eliza Domestica
This stuff is so ridiculously easy to make. All you need is some cheap vodka, a few vanilla beans, a mason jar, and time. Lots-o-time. But that time part is easy when you store it away and just forget about it for a couple of months. Okay, it happened to me. The bright side to this tragedy is it made my kitchen smell delicious for a couple of days. As far as vanilla beans go, you have quite the option to pick and choose from. I think a jar of this would make a nice gift to a special baker in your life or even as a housewarming gift. To get this party started, slice each vanilla bean in half (almost), lengthwise. Place into a mason jar and fill with vodka then seal tightly with a lid. Ingredients 3-4 vanilla beans Cheap vodka Mason jar with a tight seal. Cut each vanilla bean in half, leaving a half inch connected at on e end. Place in a cool dark place, like the back of your cupboards and let it set for 2 months or longer. Remember to give it a good shake every couple of weeks.

Caramel Filled Chocolate Cake Cookies (a.k.a. Rolo Cookies)
Yes, my love for pie runs deep. However, do you know how much I love cookies? If I was ever going to start another food blog (and no, that is not going to happen…I barely sleep as it is!) Our holiday card this year included some miscellaneous data like how many dishes I washed this year (9,015), trips to the market (732), and cookies I baked (472) – in hindsight I think all those numbers are a little conservative. Anyway, a month or so ago I was trying out a bunch of new cookie recipes, and shouted on Facebook my utter frustration that none of them were any good. Apparently 4th time is a charm. These were a home run. Caramel Filled Chocolate Cake Cookies (a.k.a. Ingredients • 1 (12 ounce) package Rolos • 1 box Devils Food Cake mix, sifted • 2 eggs • 1/3 cup vegetable oil • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine cake mix, oil, and eggs. Roll in powered sugar and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. (slightly adapted from Six Sisters Stuff)
Baked Apple Chips
I am totally guilty of snooping in other peoples carts at the grocery store. I want to know what other people are getting. What if I'm missing out on something! Saturday (after my super muddy FUN mud run and 5 showers later) we went to the grocery store and the lady in line ahead of us had a bag of baked apple chips in her cart. I thought these would probably not be that complicated to make myself...I also figured they would taste better warm and fresh out of the oven. What you will need:2 applesCinnamonDirections:Remove apple core. * UPDATE: Check on them at the hour mark and every 30 minutes after that. These were SO good!!
Sweet potato, balsamic-caramelized onion and goat cheese galette
When Whole Foods Yorkville in Toronto offered me the chance to participate in the “Blogger Gobbler” challenge around Canadian Thanksgiving, I was intrigued. A challenge involving creating a holiday recipe with two secret ingredients – sweet potatoes & 365 Balsamic Vinegar. A challenge to say the very least. We had free range with what type of dish we could make from appetizers to dessert (!) and I thought long and hard about this and finally decided on a hearty main dish to make for our vegetarian guests over Thanksgiving. So often a vegetarian’s lot during holiday meals ends up being a cobbled-together plate of side dishes and I wanted to make something special for our non-meat eating guests that everyone would be able to enjoy.

And guess what?
