Food Day

5/15/13

It's been a while since my first post.  I have some new recipes to share.  My coworkers and I love food - the topic of food, thinking about food, the smell of food, and eating the food.  Okay....maybe that's just me but we still have a "food day" about once a month at work.  On Thursday 5/9 we had one of these days and I made two things:  macaroni salad and Snickers cake.  Both were pretty big hits.  Here are the recipes and my thoughts about them.

Macaroni Salad 

This received great reviews.  I was a little worried because the recipe didn't use a lot of mayonnaise.  The recipe calls for vinegar but since I don't like vinegar I didn't use it.  Also, I didn't add much salt since I tend to over salt a lot of foods.  

Here is the recipe for the salad:  

The next recipe that I made for food day was the Snickers Cake.  See: 

Snickers Cake


This received great reviews.  One of the comments was that it was a little moist.  This is actually a "poke cake" so there may have been too much liquid.  (For those of you that don't know what a Poke Cake is here is the quick explanation:  Bake the cake, while the cake is still hot poke holes throughout the cake w/a straw, let cake cool, and pour the liquid over the cake so that the holes fill up w/liquid)  I think that Nick ate about 75% of this cake.  Every time he wanted a snack he asked for a piece of the cake.  He also asked for me to make it again AND soon.  Overall, this was a huge hit!! 


Until next time!!
