Schmancy Olympic Challenge!!! Made Up Sport - Cupcake Throwing!



The great art of Cupcake Throwing was just discovered this year and it all started innocently! Teddy the Love Bot Bot was just about to enjoy her cupcake when someone rudely bumped into her. Accidentally getting caught up in her anger - she threw her cupcake. It missed the rude offender, but it hit right in the middle of the bakery sign. Somewhere from in the restaurant someone shouted, "nice cupcake shot!" and that is the day Cupcake Throwing was discovered!

Samaria Project - the secret "foodie"

I have been REALLY getting into cooking lately. I generally spend any extra time I have looking up recipes and tweeking them to my liking (and also to my food allergies).

Here are two recipes that have become my favorites:
Easy tasty dinner-

Jess's Bean Soup w/ vegan irish soda bread
Ingredients for soup (yet another version)

* 1.5 cups chopped celery
* 3/4 cup torn collard greens
* enough water to cover it all
* sprinkle of italian seasoning
* 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
* 1 can cannelli beans, drained and rinsed
* 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
* 1/4 cup alphabet mini pasta

Essentially, I threw everything into a pot (except for the pasta)- brought it to a boil and then let it simmer for 35 minutes. I threw in the alphabet pasta and let it simmer for 11 more minutes. Super easy - I like my soup sorta bland - so you can add in onions, spices, etc. I was just using up leftovers! This was a variation of about 5 different soup recipes! Thank goodness it turned out ok!


Vegan Irish Soda Bread
Vegan Irish Soda Bread

1 cups white whole wheat flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt

Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix the dry ingredients together. Add the yogurt and mix it in well. (Add more flour if the dough is sticky, more yogurt if it's too dry.) Shape into a ball and put on cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

This recipe came from the lovely Fat Free Vegan website
