Honey Soy Wings

The Super Bowl is quickly approaching. Last year I made my superbowl bundt cake and this year it is wings. But I think, I will still break out the stadium Bundt pan again this year.

Now these wings aren’t your traditional hot and spicy but I think a good alternative.

2 Pounds of Wings
1 Cup of Soy Sauce
Juice of 2 limes
2 Teaspoons of Lime Zest
3 Garlic CLoves Chopped
1 Tablespoon of Ginger Zest
1/4 Cup of Chopped Cilantro
3/4 Cup of Honey
2 Tablespoons of Butter
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste

In a bowl or a large zip lock bag, place the wings, soy sauce, lime zest, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and chopped cilantro. Make sure well coated and placed covered or zipped in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours but definitely longer is time permits. In a frying pan heat oil and butter, once butter has melted add the honey and wings (remove the wings from marinade and at this point you can salt and pepper them). Let the wings cook for about five minutes on each side.

Chocolate Flourless Cake

This is a fantastic go to cake. It is quick, simple, and always a crowd pleaser! When it is freezing outside this time of year dense foods sound and taste so appealing.

Chocolate Flourless Cake

9 oz of Bittersweet Chocolate (chopped)
1 Cup of Butter (2 sticks)
1 1/2 Cup of Sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla
6 Eggs
1 Cup of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Preheat Oven 350

In a double boiler melt chocolate and butter stir until smooth and remove from heat. Whisk in sugar and vanilla into chocolate followed by beating in each egg one at a time. Slowly sift in the cocoa powder. Pour batter into a greased 10 inch springform pan. (If you only have a 9 inch just bake it for about 5- 10 minutes longer) Bake for 35 minutes, when you test the cake you want moist crumbs on the toothpick.
Best to serve with vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream… maybe both!

Spaghetti Squash- a great simple heathy side dish

Spaghetti Squash

There are words, that I think are fun to say. There are also foods, that I think are fun to work with. Spaghetti Squash would be one of them. It is so incredible how with just a fork the squash is easily separated and looks exactly like spaghetti! This is a great vegetable for winter and very simple to work with.
You can either cut in half and roast or roast uncut. I roasted my uncut, I am in dyer need to have all of my knives sharpened.

Preheat Oven 375

One Medium Spaghetti Squash (about 2.5 pounds)
1 Teaspoon of Vegetable Oil (Brush the squash with before baking)
3-4 Tablespoons of Butter
1 Teaspoon of Kosher Salt
1 Teaspoon of Pepper
If needed add more salt and pepper

Prepare the squash for roasting by brushing it with oil and piercing it. Roast squash for about 1 hour. Let cool for about 5 minutes before working with. Cut the squash in half and discard the seeds. (You can roast any kind of squash seed just like a pumpkin.) With a fork comb through the squash and pull it from the skin. Season with the butter, salt and pepper. Serve warm.
