It’s scorching here. And obscenely humid for where we are- it’s usually like 20%, and right now we’re at 77%. Since my lunch swap partner went vegan last week, I thought I’d do the same this time. And what’s better for hot weather than ceviche? And, frankly, food that involves limited use of the stove….
The Kingkiller Chronicles: Roast Chicken Breast with Cumin-Fennel Green Beans & Mini Molasses Pudding
“The food was good though. Roasted chicken, crisp longbeans, and a slice of sweet molasses pudding. Better fare than I could usually afford for myself at the University, and hotter than the food at the Maer’s estate.” – The Wise Man’s Fear I wanted something simple and light tonight… And a treat. Apparently “molasses pudding”…

The Kingkiller Chronicles: Molasses Bread

Flourless Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Waffles
These were a big hit with my kiddo, and they’re low-carb and easy to make too for us grown-up folks. All you need is a waffle iron really. Keep in mind they’re softer than a flour waffle, but they still have a lot of fluff and flavour. You’ll also want to be careful removing them…
