simplicity attempt #1: easy, good recipes. have i mentioned that i am slightly obsessed with cooking/baking? more baking. anyway, i love a good recipe. but a good, simple recipe? to die for! lately i've been making my own alfredo sauce from scratch and it's oh so simple, plus i make mine minus the usual fat content of restaurant sauces. voila. on a side note, if you have an easy, good recipe - leave a comment! i am all ears.
simplicity attempt #2: less clutter. i feel much less stress when there is no clutter. this is hard, but so worth it.
simplicity attempt #3: someday when nate has a real job, i will subscribe to real simple. love that magazine. thoreau would barf if i ever said this to him. he thinks simplicity is separating ourselves from the institutions of the world. i think, hey thoreau, i like magazines.
I like your new photo!

ReplyDeleteSwedish Kladkakor
3 dl sugar
1 1/2 dl flour
150 gr butter
4 tbsp cocoa
pinch of salt
2 eggs
mix dry ingredients, add egg, mix, add butter. pour into a baking dish, and then into the oven for 25-30 minutes at 160-170 C.
simplified.... twice as much sugar as flour, a lot of butter, a lot of cocoa, enough egg to keep it moist.
Its a little different texture than a brownie, but very delicious.
Cocoa can be switched out for 2 - 2 1/2 tbsp cinnamon instead. Also good.
opps... melt the butter.... forgot that part...
ReplyDeleteI do confess I like magazines too, even though Thoreau is one of my favorite authors! Everything in moderation, right?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm loving your new blog.
