your goose is probably only half-baked at this point

I was looking for a recipe for an orange-cinnamon glaze for fish and ended up with a recipe for topping for waffles that beats all other toppings forever (and we'd tried a lot of different toppings: maple syrup, honey butter, yogurt, you get the idea).  For the order of operations, I think I'd make the batter for the waffles and start the waffle iron heating, then start the glaze, and make the waffles while the sauce reduces, but this was definitely a science experiment that worked out so well that I'm now trying to reverse-engineer it into something replicable. Also, Mark Hamill looks adorable in bright orange, don't let anybody ever tell you any different. <3 Flightsuit Orange & Banana Glaze Ingredients 2 Tbsp butter, melted 2 Tbsp sugar 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup orange juice 2 bananas, sliced 1/2-3/4" thick Instructions In a 9" skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add sugar and cinnamon and whisk to combine. Add the orange ...

I accidentally became a vegetarian in May 2014, and where there've been many benefits to that, the best, I think, is that I eat breakfast every single morning now. Never before had I done that, ever , and now I get all cranky if I don't get to have breakfast. This breakfast, specifically. (For the record, I ate 320 of these in 2015 and 323 of these in 2016 and as of today, the 19th day in the Year of Our Lord 2017, I've eaten 19. I really, really  like this smoothie.) We have the ingredients written down on a sticky note in the kitchen because making breakfast while half-asleep is just not okay most mornings, but at request I'm putting it here. I'm not picky about my protein powders, so long as they're not wicked high in cholesterol or sugar. I tend to like vanilla the least and chocolate the best and strawberry's okay or whatever, nothing to write home about. Really it's all about the banana and oat flavor, for me, because mmm bananas and oats. ...

I'm rather a fan of smoothies, but they're always kind of ... harsh, somehow. Almost like they're chemically burning my throat, I suppose. And they're so cold . Which I know is rather the point, but I don't like cold things, especially not cold things that say "This is a chemical burn" in Tyler Durden's voice while they're turning my throat into an episode of Game of Thrones that spends too much time focused on Jon and Sam. This smoothie is almost 100% identical to the recipe from Oh She Glows (my colleague loaned me the Oh She Glows cookbook in exchange for pie, in case anyone's curious why I'm suddenly so obsessed with her recipes) but it has my twists to it, mostly brought on by the fact that I purchased a ridiculous number of Just Barley powdered green barley uh ... three years ago, and until today hadn't found a way to drink it that didn't involve way, WAY too much sugar. Like I'd only drink it if it were made with t...

I love chia seed pudding. It's on-par with instant Jell-O pudding as far as "this is stupidly easy to make," but it tastes better and is better for you. This recipe was inspired by the young lady who hosts Oh She Glows , but the pudding recipe is different, and the measures are different. This recipe fits nicely into two 1-cup Ziploc containers, with the measures in (parentheses) appropriate for six 1-cup Ziploc containers. You can probably guess a) how many of us I'm trying to feed, minimum, and b) how many Ziploc containers come in a pack. It's not laziness, here, it's ... efficiency. Yep. Perfect Chia Parfait Ingredients 1/2 cup (1 1/2 cups) chia seed 3 cups (9 cups) soymilk, almond milk, rice milk, coconut milk, cow milk, etc. 3 tbsp (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) maple syrup 1 tsp (3 tsp) vanilla 2 (6) kiwis 1 small (3 small) bananas, and you will have some leftover, so be ready to just eat the leftovers Instructions - In a mixing bowl (small if yo...

I love banana bread, don't get me wrong, but oatmeal's a thing I'm supposed to eat more of, and since oatmeal is gross and bread isn't, I thought, "why not make a banana bread oatmeal that I can take to work and eat with a fork so it doesn't feel like I'm eating oatmeal?" No not really. What actually happened was three bananas went too ripe to eat and I was too lazy to turn them into banana bread. Plus, I'd just discovered that I could make  no-bowl oatmeal  that tasted really really good, so I figured why not try it with fruit that's going to go bad? No Bowl Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal (with cranberries 'n raisins) Ingredients 1 2/3 cups whole oats, which you are going to pulverize into meal 1 tsp baking powder 1/3 cup packed brown sugar Couple'a shakes cinnamon 1/3 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky, your call) 1 cup milk or soy milk 3 very ripe bananas 1 egg 1/4 cup applesauce OR 1/2 apple, cored ...
