JenWe love raisins – as a snack, in cookies, muffins, oatmeal, etc. Typically sweet treats or breakfast foods. However, the recipe I chose this week uses raisins in an unexpected way. It’s actually one I’ve made many times over the years. :) You can use any type of chunky salsa, and I typically double the recipe… AmyRaisins aka humiliated grapes.I am not a fan of regular raisins. I can tear up and dried fruit but raisins. So I asked if I could use golden raisins. I chose a recipe that would work for every dried fruit even those nasty little fuckers those sickos would hand out little boxes of on Halloween. I'd rather have ended up tripping balls on laced Zagnuts than eat a single raisin. Some people just wanted their homes toilet papered in our neighborhood. So they handed out raisins. Well meaning adults can be real assholes. See how worked up this challenge has gotten me? Whatever. Here's a recipe for bomb ass trail mix. By the way, someone's house is getting tp'ed over this. NikitaI took some time off this week because Christopher was out of school for Fall Break, and Blu needed to be neutered. At the start of my vacation, I made a few challenges for myself. One of which was to make a Viennese Apple Strudel like we had in Austria. It is made with rum-soaked raisins and a very light, flaky crust. Well....to be honest, I wimped out. I talked myself out of it because the recipe indicated that it would be best if you had a KitchenAide Dough Hook to knead the dough ball; I don't have one (insert "The Christmas Story" Christmas idea hint here). So instead, I made this Apple Rum Raisin Cake and used the Stroh Rum we brought back from our trip in 2016 to Austria. Christopher even made the glaze and poured it on. This cake makes for a great dessert or breakfast! Matt ate a piece this morning with coffee. #YOLO GeorgiaI woke up this morning after a very busy week and still hadn't made my dish for this week. And just to give you an idea of how busy this week was. We just got home from being gone all day volunteering at a fundraiser for Angel Flight. (check them out at http://www.angelflightsc.org/ ) Thankfully before heading out I made these tasty biscuits (the name is bun, but they are more like English biscuits) The husband like these so well he had at least 2 of them and mentioned several times that they were good I like them because they were not sweet at all. Until next week,
Jen, Amy, Nikita and Georgia FYI, today is Amy's birthday. So a special shout out to my lil sis. Love you Ames!! gigi
