Guinness Your Cake

I am not a huge baker, but on special occasions I usually bake one of two things:  1) oatmeal cookies (usually with raisins, dark chocolate, and ginger) or THIS guinness cake. Delish! Years ago I took the recipe from @people and I've made variations of it ever since! Today's variation: used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose, made only half the portion, and used powdered sugar with blackberries instead of frosting. 

HOW TO MAKE: 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a 9" pan. 
  2. Heat 1/2 cup of guinness and 5 tbsp of unsalted butter over medium-low heat until butter melts; remove from heat. Whisk in 3 heaping tbsp of unsweetened cocoa and 1 cup of granulated sugar. 
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 3 tbsp of low-fat sour cream, 1 large egg, and 2 tsp of vanilla; whisk INTO cocoa mixture. 
  4. Whisk in 1 cup of whole-wheat flour and 1 1/4 tsp of baking soda. 
  5. Pour batter into pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove and cool completely. 
  6. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and add a few blackberries. Yum. 

Enjoy! 

Sometimes You Slip

So, here’s the thing. It’s important what you eat MOST of the time, not SOMEtimes. SOMEtimes you slip. SOMEtimes you eat fried potato skins (eh hem). But it’s okay. What’s important is that: 1)you enjoy it, 2)you eat beaocoup shades of green for you…

So, here’s the thing. It’s important what you eat MOST of the time, not SOMEtimes. SOMEtimes you slip. SOMEtimes you eat fried potato skins (eh hem). But it’s okay. What’s important is that: 1)you enjoy it, 2)you eat beaocoup shades of green for your next meal, and 3)not make a habit of it.

Choose #GreekYogurt! Why? For one- it’s easier to digest because of its lower lactose content. It’s also about 2 to 3x higher in #protein than conventional yogurt. I like mine with a little fat, because it has better mouthfeel and because it keeps me #satiated longer. NEVER choose flavored yogurts- in the end it’s just more sugar. So.. add your own!
