Ah, Pinterest – so full of pretty little things that I probably never will try! Very rarely do I actually do any of the crafts or DIY projects I find (except for this one) or try out any of the recipes – Until last week!!
A few weeks ago I came across this pin:
Which actually from blogger Leana at A Small Snippet. So – if you visit her blog post here, you’ll find the whole recipe.
It’s actually quite delicious!
Changes I made to better suit my tastes:
- I omitted the peanuts because nuts in meal-type foods are not appealing to me
- I also omitted the sesame seeds and sesame oil (I just used extra veggie oil) because I didn’t want to buy sesame oil
- I added a little less than 1 tbsp of red pepper flakes because I’m a spicy food wimp AND it was still too much heat. (However, I accidentally let the flakes heat for waaay longer than two minutes, which probably didn’t help)
- I threw in some sauteed shrimp for a little extra oomph and protein
- I used 5 tbsp of maple syrup instead on 6 tbsp of honey because I was told to avoid eating honey when you’re pregnant
- I served it (to myself) hot because it was dinner and it was freezing outside when I made it
It was SOOO good and I have lots of leftovers too!
Other food stuffs I have my eye on to make one day:
Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercreme icing and chocolate ganache from Bakerella.
Salsa fresca (my favorite “style” of salsa) from SmittenKitchen.com.
Pink lemonade pie. IT’S PINK! And it’s from PreparedPantry.com.
