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 🙂






That vanilla infusion is awesome! Where did they buy it? Bummer about not being able to register for any more classes.
ugh sorry you couldn’t register for the extra classes! That sucks.
Oh my word, I’m making these immediately! i have agave just begging to be used for blondies. Thanks for the idea!
Katie – and you are like Ms. Cinnamon, you should LOVE them!
Also, I had NO IDEA that one could make vanilla extract, I can’t wait to hear how it turns out!
