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!!
