My never ending quest to make the perfect moist and chewy chocolate chip cookies.

Wet Ingredients:

1 1/2 sticks of butter (unsalted)

1 egg and 1 egg yolk

1 cup of brown sugar (packed)

1/2 cup of granulated sugar

1 tbs vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

2 cups of all purpose flour (I’ll use bread flour next time to see if I get a chewier cookie)

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Melt butter in a double boiler. Place melted butter in a bowl, add sugar and mix with a whisk. Add eggs and vanilla, whisk together. Add dry ingredients, flour, baking soda and salt. Mix gently with a spoon. Do to over mix or cookies will be tough. Cover bowl with foil and chill for 1 hour in refrigerator. Scoop dough onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-18 mins the edges should be brown. Cool and enjoy.

New Recipe- Curry Shrimp

POSTED ON JANUARY 3, 2015 BY PINKRUNNINGKICKS

Curry Shrimp

I usually use this brand of curry sauce to make all of my curry dishes. In the past I’ve made Curry Tofu and Veggies. Today I used shrimp to make a delicious pescatarian meal.

Ingredients:

1 box of curry sauce mix

1-2 lbs of raw shrimp (de-vein)

2 large russet potatoes

2 carrots

1 white onion

1-2 tbs minced garlic

2-3 tbs of oil (olive or canola)

3-31/2 cups of water

steamed brown or white rice

Step 1:

Dice up russet potatoes and carrots.

Step 2:

Wash shrimp. I thawed frozen shrimp which were already de-veined.

Step 3:

Chop up a white onion and add 1 tbs of minced garlic to 2 tbs of oil (olive, canola, etc.). Sauté until onions are translucent (4-5 minutes).

Step 4:

Add potatoes and carrots and 1 1/2 cup of water to pot. Add 1/2 of the curry brick and stir. Heat for about 20 minutes or until potatoes and carrots start to get tender.

Step 5:

Add another 1 1/2 cups of water and the other half of the curry brick. Stir until curry brick is dissolved. Add shrimp. Add another 1/2 cup of water. Cook until the shrimp are bright pink (8-10 minutes)

Step 6:

Serve with steamed brown or white rice.

Peace and Love

I decided that I wanted to make something low calorie and satisfying for dinner tonight.

I chose to use my Falafel Mix that I purchased from Wholefoods. I decided to bake the falafels rather than fry them. Directions for preparing the falafels are on the side of the box.
