Fast Food Friday @spabettie

When I wake up and it is dark and cold, and it is still cold when I return home from tennis, I want something warm. Earlier this week, I also wanted that something to be light, fresh, and bright – like the summer we just had.

Fall is my favorite, do not get me wrong! You all know I love my comfort food as much as anyone. Still, sometimes I want bright and fresh.

and warm.

and fast.

Hello from record breaking sunny Portland!

We are seeing temperatures in the high 80 range – which is a stark contrast to the snow I just saw in Boulder and Denver. I experienced that two day, most flights canceled, blizzard of Colorado.

and we had a great time.

More on my trip later – I want to talk about what I made when I got home.

Cashew Hot Cocoa with Cinnamon Whip and Double Chocolate Mug Cake @spabettie

Usually when we have snow days and are stuck at home, we enjoy some Baileys Irish Cream in our coffee. This year when we had our day of snow and another day of ice, I was sipping on a deliciously rich hot cocoa from a mix.

The next day? A fluffy, fiber rich double chocolate mug cake. Two ingredients, from a mix.

Fiber rich? Yep – the hot cocoa was too. This unique hot cocoa …

Shiitake Shallot Quiche @spabettie

I have never made a quiche before.

Before vegan, I was not a big fan of eggs, they grossed me out just as meat did. I do love a good tofu scramble however – that Kala Namak brings that perfect salty sulfury flavor. I love French toast, and all kinds of other things typically made with egg.

They love this stuff.

I did use some of this to make grilled chicken for Jason, but what I was anxiously awaiting grilling season for? Grilled barbecue potato salad.

This couldn’t be easier, and was a great addition to a big day of grilling we had a while back. I sliced red potatoes and red onions, skewered them, basted them with barbecue sauce and wrapped them in foil. We placed them on the grill for about 15 minutes at 350-400. This cooked them through, softened them. I then unwrapped the skewers and placed them directly on the grill to achieve the delicious grill marks.

These were great as is, I ate a whole skewer while I was preparing the salad. Again, couldn’t be easier – take the potatoes and onions off the skewers, place in a bowl and toss with more barbecue sauce. Top with fresh green scallions. Delicious! I left some skewers intact, because food on a stick is just fun. This particular style of barbecue sauce is spicier than I usually use, but it was a nice change – great flavor and definitely a good pairing for grilled potatoes.

WHILE I RECEIVED PRODUCT FROM KC MASTERPIECE FOR REVIEW – I AM NEVER COMPENSATED TO GIVE A POSITIVE REVIEW.
