What's Cooking?January 18, 2008
In this issue: Ale Bread, Veggie Smoothie, Vegan Petits Fours, Pixel-Art Cookies, Edible Googly Eyes, Milk Chocolate Marshmallows
Hi Crafters,
There's nothing more relaxing to me than spending time in the kitchen cooking. I love the smell of fresh bread baking and the gentle hum of the mixer when you're putting ingredients together. Here are some of my favorite food posts, where you can learn how to bake your own ale bread, create edible googly eyes, or design your own pixel-art cookies!
The great thing about these projects? You get to taste test whatever you make!
Cheers,

Drink Your Veggies
If you've made a resolution to eat healthier in 2008, give Fat Free Vegan's smoothie recipe a try. It contains pineapple, mango, and spinach--which gives it a pretty green color and tons of vitamins but not any overpowering spinach flavors. Link.

After more than a year of painstaking directed research by our Experimental Foods Division, we have finally achieved one of our most important longstanding goals: the production of edible googly eyes. Like many other great inventions, it seems almost simple in retrospect, but in this write up we walk through the process and show you how to make your own.HOW TO - Make EDIBLE googly eyes! - Link & photos.
Milk Chocolate Marshmallows
The idea of homemade marshmallows keeps tempting me and I'm falling off the edge for these chocolate ones that Amy of Angry Chicken just made using the recipe from Cooking for Engineers. They look scrumptious! Link.
