Let It Be Sunday!

June 7, 2015 by Joy the Baker 18 Comments

Coconut Whipped Cream

[H]ow has your week been? I hope you’re all eased into the weekend and you’re feeling happy, well, and making your own coconut whipped cream.

I’ve been visiting Philadelphia again this week.  The days are so warm and gorgeous, I feel like everyone that spent a cold cold Winter here deserves these pretty days much more than me.  I’m soaking it all in just the same.

While you meander through these links, just know that I’m here trying to figure out the easiest, most approachable way for us to make fried chicken at home.  I have a major craving.  I’ll solve this for all of us.

The Internet for our knowing:

•  This week Congress reworked the post 9/11 Patriot Act.  This is a big deal because most of us weren’t paying attention to the details of US surveillance until Edward Snowden asked us to pay attention.

•  NYT Op Ed:  Edward Snowden.

•  Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian has been jailed in Iran, without being charged, for nearly a year.

•  What’s Causing Baltimore’s Crime Spike?

•  Judge This: the power of first impressions. Clarity or mystery, which do you choose?

•  Men that take up more than one seat on a train because they think they deserve a whole lotta leg spread vs. lady who simply wants a seat.  I’ve Been Sitting On Manspreaders For The Last Month and I Have Never Felt More Free.    

•  Google wants to count the calories in your Instagram food porn.  Please no.

•  How my doppelgänger used the Internet to find a befriend me.  So… just for future reference, if you look exactly like me, cool.    No need to stage a photo, I’ll take your word for it.  If, however, you have Tron’s doppelgänger, he’s happily accepting all staged photos and emails.

•  How Many Steps A Day Should You Really Walk?

•  I’m interested in this book:  The Good Gut. The scientific authors are trying to keep our good body bacteria from going extinct.  The key? All the fiber all the time.

•  Enough with the love locks.  They’re really really heavy.

•  I had no idea I should be braising radishes!  From The Kitchn: Braised Radishes with Shallots and Bacon.

•  Roasted Strawberry and Toasted Coconut Popsicles!  It’s time for popsicle diet.

Have a happy day!

Friends! Here’s the easiest, most roasty toasty Friends! Here’s the easiest, most roasty toasty Friendsgiving appetizer: Toasted Marshmallow Sweet Potato Bites and, our secret ingredient:  @bluemoonbrewingco’s Pin Pint Seasoning.  This Thanksgiving seasoning brings a hint of sweetness, citrus, and hops to the roasted sweet potatoes layered between butter crackers and toasted marshmallows.  They’re a perfect salty-sweet bite! ⁣
⁣
#ad #21+ #BlueMoonSeasonings⁣
⁣
Here’s what you’ll need to make them: ⁣
-	Sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced ½-inch thick and cut into 1 ¾-inch rounds using a sharp cookie cutter⁣
-	Olive oil⁣
-	A generous sprinkle of Blue Moon Brewing Co’s Pie Pint Seasoning⁣
-	A sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and ground coriander⁣
-	A generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt⁣
-	Round butter crackers (like Ritz)⁣
-	Large marshmallows, cut in half⁣
⁣
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  Arrange sweet potato rounds on a parchment lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.  Toss to coat. ⁣
⁣
Sprinkle generously with Pie Pint Seasoning, pumpkin pie spice, coriander, and sea salt.  Roast until tender, flipping once through baking – about 20 minutes. ⁣
⁣
Remove from the oven and, once cool enough to handle, layer each sweet potato round on a butter cracker on an unlined baking sheet.  Top each with half a marshmallow. ⁣
⁣
Set the oven to broil and place the bites under the broiler.  Keep a very close eye on the marshmallows as they’ll burn in literal seconds.  Remove from the oven and enjoy warm or at room temperature with a Blue Moon Belgian White Wheat Ale, of course!
Pumpkin pie who? We don’t know her. Fluffy CRANB Pumpkin pie who? We don’t know her. Fluffy CRANBERRY CREAM PIE is an absolute dream dessert this holiday!
