April Cooking Adventures #1

By -
If you have ever checked out National Day Calendar you will have noticed that every day celebrates at least one type of food. I gathered together some recipes last month for the food days this month.

Check out the board to see what is coming up. I've added at least two recipes for each day.

Continuing in the Pin it, make it tradition I pinned these two recipes then made them with some mixed results.

Below that is a quick look at the health qualities of the fruit (lime) and the vegetable (avocado) that I am experimenting with this month

Cooking Experiments April 1-10
The Recipe's I TriedNailed it or A FailChanges ECT

Guaca-hummus by Copycat
my version- I'm calling it a fail but it did taste good		I used greek yoghurt instead of the olive oil, lime instead of lemon and no other seasonings.

I used a can chickpeas and decided to mash them rather than use the processor, that was my big error so instead of smooth it was kinda lumpy

my version - Pale but tasty- Nailed it		I added the chili paste in the wrong spot, adding it after I had added the coconut milk which altered the outcome I think.

Other than that I followed the recipe as best I could even going to a Chinese grocer to get the right ingredients

When I started this post I intended to write something entirely different but I am very disturbed at the moment by a conversation I just had on instant messenger and I want to share it with you. Tell me do you think I am wrong to take this stance or not? The grey is my daughter the blue is me

Hey.. do you happen to have $25 to $30 we can borrow until the end of the month?
Mom Cherylann
I am flat broke

Next to physical survival, the greatest need of a human being is psychological survival—to be understood, to be affirmed, to be validated, to be appreciated.
Covey, Stephen R.. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change (p. 253). RosettaBooks. Kindle Edition. Whoa! Something most people don't even consider that! Psychological survival is just as important as physical survival. How many of us actually feel like we are understood, validated, appreciated, like our feelings count too?

I don't. Not at all. The people in my life try or at least pretend to try but not one of them actually sees the real person inside the skin I present to them. Most of them don't want to know, they are so wrapped up in their needs and wants that they have no time to notice that while I'm present, a lot of the time I am not PRESENT.
But joy is the absence of fear. Joy is your soul’s knowledge that if you don’t get the promotion, keep the relationship, or buy th…

Brussels sprouts and grapefruit, two very healthy foods that few people will eat because they only know one or two way to prepare them. In the case of Brussels sprouts that is either steamed or boiled and grapefruit, well the only way I know how to eat Grapefruit is to sprinkle with sugar and dive in.


1) Brussels sprouts with butternut squash (because I still have a lot of the frozen butternut squash left) from Happy Kitchen. Rocks. (Great collections of Vegan recipes)
2) Garam Marsala Brussels sprouts (because I'm interested in Indian food) from Whisk & Shout
3) Creamy Brussels Sprouts Slaw (because they ARE little cabbages) from The Mom 100 1) One Bowl Grapefruit Bars (because I want to have at least one dessert this month) from The View From Great Island 2) Grapefruit and Avocado Buddha Bowl (a type of dish I've heard of but never tried) from The Skinny Fork 3) Broiled Honey Grapefruit (I have never heard of heating it before eating it so I have to try it) from The Gra…
