Kitchen Adventures
After visiting Grandpa this morning, I had an exciting day in the kitchen, experimenting with all sorts of new food!
The full Dinner - a little bit of everything I made.
First, I made a whole wheat baguette. It turned out marvelously! Really light and fluffy with a crunchy crust. It makes crackling noise when you squeeze it just like a baguette should! To top the baguette, I made an eggplant bruschette, from epicurious. It was DIVINE! I will certainly be making it again!
Inspired by Vegetarian Times, I am growing sprouts. Today at the store I purchased Quinoa, mung beans, and sunflower seeds to try sprouting. Right now I have the quinoa. Tulipchica told me that might be an easy one to start with - and it's always nice to start with success! Hopefully in 3-5 days I'll have sprouts!
Also from Vegetarian Times, I made black bean and banana empanadas, which turned out wonderfully, and Pineapple Banana Chutney which I served on top of chicken on a bed of couscous. I was originally going to do Tofu, but the market was sold out of the Tofu that I like, and I had some chicken at home.
