The MessyChefs cook all the time, even when we aren’t being recorded. This weekend we made…
1. A chocolate orange cake - Grandma’s recipe uses lots of yummy orange juice for flavor.
2. Dirt pudding cups -We were invited out, and brought 6 for the 6 kids at friday night dinner to share. Organic chocolate cupcakes made from a mix - but we added some whole wheat flour and a bit of chocolate rice milk to stretch the batter. They were topped with delicious vegan chocolate pudding made from corn starch, vanilla, chocolate rice milk, sugar and cocoa.
3. Wheatberry and sprouted bean salad. Half served warm right when it was made, flavored with jalapenos, sherry and worsterstechestershchester sauce (HA!) The other half refrigerated and served chilled with some edamame and Caesar dressing tossed in.
4. Homemade energy bars. MessyDad runs about 40-50 miles/week and was spending lots of money on those bars that start with a ‘C’. Now he makes his own. This week he made a batch of peanut chocolate chip and a batch of mango.
5. Chicken parmasean. The kids don’t like it for dinner, but MessyMom and MessyDad do!
6. Twice baked sweet potatoes - made in the toaster oven so the whole kitchen didn’t have to get hot. With a pat of butter, and dashes of cinnamon and chili powder.
