Grrrrr! It’s so frustrating to lose an entire post that was
completed and scheduled to post the next day!
How did that happen? I spent a
good amount of time writing and adding links and pictures only to have my “saved”
post completely disappear.
Have any other bloggers have this happen? Did you ever recover your post or is it still
M-I-A? In a nutshell, yesterday’s non-post
was about these Avocado Balsamic Chevre Cookies. I was inspired to create the recipe from
Baker Bettie’s Cookie Wars Contest where you
have a list of unusual ingredients to use to make a cookie recipe.
Several ingredients that stuck out, as the name makes
apparent, were avocado, balsamic vinegar, and goat cheese (chevre). I wrote how much Kelley was going to love me
for this recipe as she absolutely cherishes creamy goat cheese and tangy
balsamic vinegar.
After getting the approval from Kelley to use the goat
cheese we had (trust me, I learned the first time I didn’t ask), I set to work
mixing ingredients and baking. Doesn’t that sound so manly? Well, I have no shame; I just demand good
food and feel I must make it myself.
The end result was nothing more than an awesome cookie with both
sweet and savory ingredients that work well when combined. For anyone who cares, these are also
gluten-free when the recipe is followed exactly. So, that’s my story in a
rather large nut shell.
Oh yeah, Happy What I Ate Wednesday! Sorry for the rant, guess it happens to the
best of us. Boo.
Let’s move on to today’s eats….
Brekkie – miniature fat free refried bean and corn bread
casserole (recipe to come); baby carrots, and overnight oatmeal crisps.
Snack – the last Avocado Balsamic Chevre cookie (Kelley had
the rest…they were for her, I guess) and a mix of green and red tea.

Lunch – cool Quinoa Curry Salad that I posted about on
Monday, I love not having to use the work microwaves, it’s the little things,
you know? Dehydrated okra, more baby carrots, and a No-bake Quinoa Almond Protein
cookie…..or two
Snack – just work and some tea; I wish I could eat work…..then
spit it out; but that wouldn’t be nice
Dinner – bowl of mixed steamed veggies generously seasoned
with many herbs and spices (of course cayenne); a couple Quinoa Almond Protein
cookies; pumpkin peanut dessert dip with yogurt and cinnamon.
Another veggie-filled What I Ate Wednesday is over, but good things there’s
always next week! This week, my extra
extra cup of veggies was nothing too imaginative; just a lot of veggies steamed
and seasoned. I’m not complaining,
though…I love them like that!
Random Question: Do
you like the show “Chopped” on the Food Network?
I can’t stand the drama they have worked into Food Network (especially "Chopped") and wish they would just show back to back episodes of “Good Eats”, now that’s
a good food show!
