Happy Friday!
Recently I was given a couple samples of Not Your Sugar Mamas chocolate bars.
Not truly knowing what they were, I just thought they were another artisanal chocolate bar.
But no, they are all natural, no refined sugar, good for you chocolate bar THAT has really good
taste. Look for them in Whole Foods or just go to their website and see where you can find them.
It's really good chocolate made with pure cacao, raw foods and all natural seasonings.
My favorite was the Be Fresh.
Have you tried your sweet potato fries this way? Oh but you must!
Recently I got a chance to sit in (not fly...yet!) a Waco Biplane at Cape Cod Airfield.
You can imagine my excitement!
Next time I will go for a ride.
Cool right? I wish I had a better camera so I could take a clearer photo of the cockpit.
I was asked to review the candy cookbook Classic Candy by Abigail Gehring.
No special molds needed, easy to follow instructions, and hard to find recipes for such old-fashioned candy favorites like: licorice twists, chocolate cheesecake bon bons, cinnamon hard candies, pate de fruit, potato candy, sugar plums, gummi bears, and so much more!
If you're into vintage candy making that requires no molds, this book is for you.
Plus it comes with handy candy temperature chart.

That book is by a fellow Skyhorse author (my publisher!) and I think it came for me in the mail. I literally have a HUGE stack of books to get thru!
ReplyDeleteSweet potato fries smothered in TJs hot pepper jelly - heaven. I did sweet potato fries with PB&J in my book. I literally just bought 2 jars of that jelly...a half hour ago. I go thru it so fast.
All these pumpkin recipes - amazing! Pinning bonanza :)
So many wonderful ideas I can hear the wheels twisting in my brain.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful plane! Are you going to learn how to fly? (I've always wanted to give it a go!) Thanks for providing a recipe for gummy candies - they are my weakness.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday, Dawn! I think our big days are close - although I'm a neurotic Virgo, not a balanced Libra. :D
Great links and wonderful ideas! Loving that article on turmeric too!
ReplyDeleteI like this post a lot. I love chocolate and could not resist those. And I eat my Pepper Jelly on cream cheese.
ReplyDeleteSweet potato fries are the best! I'll have to try them with pepper jelly. I also need that candy cookbook. I love candy!
