Yummy Carrots in a Muffin!!
This past weekend I made a carrot cake for my sister's shower because she really likes it. Well it turned out yummy and everyone enjoyed it!
Today I am home with a sick child so I made carrot muffins and they are yummy too!
Here is my recipe....
I used Agave nectar which comes from the agave plant. It is a sweet liquid with a consistency a bit smoother than honey. Agave is also low on the glycemic index and is metabolized by your body slower than sugar so it has a less severe effect on blood sugar fluctuations. You can find it at any health food store and I bet you’ll find many ways for it to replace sugar in your kitchen. If you want more of a treat you can put icing on them!
Carrot Cupcakes
1 Cup Flour
3/4 Tsp Baking Powder
3/4 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
3/4 Cup Agave
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Large Eggs
1 1/2 Cup Carrots, peeled and shredded
1/4 Cup Pineapple, drained, crushed in juice
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into a medium sized bowl.
3. Using a mixer, beat the agave, oil and eggs until thoroughly combined.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.
5. Add the carrots and pineapple and beat until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
6. Line 12 1/3 cup muffin cups with paper liners.
7. Scoop batter into cups, filling 3/4 full.
8. Bake for 30 minutes.
9. Cool (cupcakes can be made 1 day ahead, cover and store at room temperature).
10 Spread top of each cupcake with 2 tablespoons of cream cheese icing and serve.
Cream Cheese Icing (Make 2 Cups)
1 8 oz Package Cream Cheese, room temperature
1/2 Cup Butter, room temperature
4 Tbsp Agave Nectar
1 Tsp Vanilla
1. Place all the ingredients in a mixer and beat on medium to high speed until fluffy.
2. Spread on cupcakes.
Enjoy!

Happy Cooking!

Earth Day Cooking
What better way to honor Earth Day than to prepare a dish that's easy on the environment?

Eating local supports your economy and involves fewer miles traveled - and fewer pollutants emitted.

Happy Valentine's Day!
In honor of this sweet holiday Valentine's Day I wanted to give you a recipe I found that is great. Chocolate cake in 5 minutes. How great is that??
Make some now for your sweetie!
5 minute Chocolate Cake in a Cup!
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp flour
- 5 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa
- 1 tsp baking powder (I used 1/2 tsp and it turned out fine)
- 1/2 tsp coffee powder (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp milk
- 3 tbsp oil
- 3 tbsp chocolate chips or flakes plus 2 tablespoon extra (I omitted these)
- A small splash of vanilla extract
- Microwave safe coffee mugs
1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a big bowl.
2. Next, add in the milk, oil, vanilla extract, egg and mix well.
3. Pour mixture into mugs (at the halfway mark).
4. Microwave one mug at a time. Cook for 1 minute on medium heat. It will bubble and rise as it cooks, so make sure you provide ample room for that. Leave it for a few seconds, then microwave for another 30 seconds on medium again. The mixture will solidify, but still look a little molten. That is fine because it will continue cooking on residual heat. Overcook it and you get a chocolate rubber ball.
5. Allow to cool a little and start digging in. Of course, nothing is stopping you from embellishing your cake and eating it too!
Have your cake and eat it too!!
Enjoy with your Valentine! Have a sweet one,
Lori

Cooking Healthy Food Fast........
So-called fast food is a blessing for rushed parents. Not only is it what the name implies but kids can’t get enough of it.
The trouble is that fast food does not get very good press. And rightly so because fast food still tends to be high in fat, salt, sugar and other additives.
But what if you could make the same meal at home? If it didn’t take that much longer to prepare and was so much healthier because you’re controlling what goes into it?
Burger, Fries and Tomato Salsa?
Ingredients:
1 lb organic ground beef
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon tomato ketchup
½ teaspoon ready-made mustard
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 small onion
Olive oil
For Serving:
4 whole grain buns
Iceberg lettuce
Tomato salsa (see below)
Sliced cucumber and tomato
What you do:
· Peel and crush the garlic cloves. Peel and finely dice the onion.
· Using your hands, mix everything, except the oil, together. Divide the mixture into 4 and shape into burgers. It’s a good idea to make the edge slightly thicker: that makes the burger less liable to break up.
· Put them on greaseproof paper and leave them in the fridge, covered with more greaseproof paper, for about 30 minutes before cooking.
· Using a little oil and a non-stick pan, if you have one, fry the burgers until cooked, remembering to turn them once. Alternatively you can brush them with oil and grill them.
· Serve in buns with salad and salsa, and with oven-baked wedges (see below).
· Chicken and turkey are much loved by dieticians for their low fat qualities, and lots of kids prefer white meat burgers
Spicy Turkey Burger
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1 clove garlic, crushed
½” fresh ginger root, grated
1 small red onion, finely diced
Handful coriander
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoons paprika
½ tablespoon ground dry mustard
½ tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chilli powder
Dash Worcestershire sauce
What you do:
Mix everything together and shape into 4 burgers. Brush lightly with oil and grill until cooked. Serve with tomato salsa and oven-baked wedges (see below).
Oven-baked wedges
Ingredients:
2 baking-sized potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons chilli or curry powder
What you do:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Scrub the potatoes and cut each potato into 8-10 wedges. Pat them dry with kitchen towel.
Place the chilli/curry powder in a plastic food bag with the oil and shake it up a bit, then add the potato wedges and give them a good shake, rubbing if necessary to make sure they’re all coated.
Spread the wedges out onto a baking tray and cook for 25-30 minutes.
Tomato Salsa
Ingredients:
2 large ripe tomatoes
½ red onion
1 green chili (optional)
Coriander or basil
Salt & pepper
A pinch of sugar
What you do:
Halve the tomatoes and scoop out the seeds. Dice the flesh.
Peel and finely dice the onion. If you’re using a chilli, remove the stalk and seeds and chop very finely. Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards and avoid touching your eyes.
Chop the coriander or basil. Mix everything together, seasoning and adding the sugar, which draws out the flavour of the tomatoes. Leave to stand for 30 minutes.
There are many variations on this recipe. Some include garlic and green peppers; others, especially in the winter, use canned tomatoes and simmer the sauce for a short or long time, depending on the desired consistency! See which is your favourite !

Cooking With Kids
10 Reasons Why Kids Should Learn To Cook!
Cooking helps kids make Healthy Food Choices - Learning to cook helps kids to learn about nutrition and healthy eating. Growing up with fast food and junk food can be a part of the reason why child obesity is on the rise. Teaching kids to cook healthy instill skills to last them a lifetime.
Boost their Self Esteem. If your child needs a boost of self confidence, (and who doesn't!) cooking in the kitchen will do just that. They are accomplishing a task, learning something important and contributing to the family.
Helps to create Family Time and Bonding. Take time to cook with your kids and they will have memories that they, in turn, can pass on to their families. It may take a longer time to get the meal or snack done but the moments with your children will be priceless.
Kids will be more apt to eat what they make. Perhaps, it is the enthusiasm of creating something themselves, but they will be more likely to eat whatever they had a hand in making.
Kids learn real lessons in Science, Language, Math and Creativity. Cooking will help reinforce all these subjects!
What a great way to learn life skills. This can be especially helpful when kids grow up to be on their own. They won't have to rely on fast food and junk food to sustain them.
They can help contribute to the family and they can feel the importance of helping.
They are working together as a team, whether it is with a parent or with a sibling to get the job done.
Cooking teaches them planning and making choices.
Practice creativity and imagination. Kids cooking activities are a great way to express themselves and enjoy their creations.
Sign-up your child for Weekend Little Chefs classes this summer or fall!
Call for more information.

Happy Mother's Day!
I hope that all the Mother's out there did something they enjoyed this weekend. Maybe brunch, lunch or dinner with your kid(s) or maybe some spa time??
I had my Mom up to my place for a few days and I took her and my two little girls to a local Spa for some pampering! My mother had never had a pedicure so this is what I treated her too. She loved it and so did my little girls! Both girls got their finger and toe nails painted after my mom and I had our amazing pedicure. It is nice to start off the sandel session with pretty feet!!
The Spa in Belfountain is great and Rose is amazing! I just found out that they are moving to the main street in Erin above the Kulhay Wellness clinic June 1st. Go check them out they all are great and we never can pamper ourselves enough as Moms!! www.thespa.ca is their website.
**Leave me a comment on what you did special for Mothers day and I will send one of you a coupon for $ 10.00 off a service at this Spa which is now going to be in Erin.
Please join Little Chefs this Thursday May 14th 10:30am - 12:30pm at the Lina Lounge www.linalounge.biz for some fun snack making as we enjoy The hungry caterpillar! Check out their website it is a great place for parents and kids.
