Sweet Substitute

There was no lunch post because there was … no lunch.  Sitting in the house all day makes me feel yucky, I took a nap.  When Adam got home there was still no eating but we did do lots of kitchen stuff.

Starting with making vanilla extract –

My aunt and uncle gave us this for Christmas, all you do is add vodka and wait for 4-6months.

The other side of the family gave us this adorable planter and we set him up as well.

And then finished with … cookies!  Suzanne’s Specialties sent me this Organic Agave Syrup and I wanted to try baking with it.

I followed this recipe for agave cinnamon blondies.

We tried to follow it exactly so we could get an idea of cooking with agave, but I did sub 1/4 t cinnamon for the vanilla extract.

The verdict?

Delicious!  They ended up tasting almost like cinnmon muffins.  I highly recommend this recipe!

I got the bad news today that I can’t register for any of the additional classes I wanted, boo.  Right now all I’m in is two classes and a lab so hopefully I will at least be able to find some sort of job.  For now, I’ll distract myself making dinner 🙂
