#GWYNETH PALTROW OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES RECIPE HOW TO#

So in summary, thumbs down to Bon Appetit and the new hazmat…oops, I mean format. Okay, the last one was mine, but REALLY – “Drink while you cook!” What a startling revelation! Why didn’t I think of that? “State the obvious for those that cook all the time!” What fired me up was that her recipes were beyond blah and that the magazine actually printed her “advice” when cooking: I won’t even put a link to show you my disdain for someone who dabbles in a bunch of everything and is mediocre at best (okay, I did like her as an actor, but her singing, blogging, cooking – ugh!).

Now what do I get? I get Gwyneth Paltrow telling me how to cook. I always enjoyed the at-length adventure stories that whisked me away to other cultures with interesting, tasty recipes to follow. The new format reads like Maxim magazine with short attention span articles that are the length of a visit to the toilet. The editor was the former editor of GQ and is looking to shaking things up other than martinis. Well apparently BA has a new sheriff in town (editor/sheriff/crapmaster) and the format has changed. I adored Gourmet magazine and was devastated when it folded. Being a person with a passion for cooking, I subscribe to Bon Appetit magazine. The cause of this fury was located in my mailbox. Those that know me well understand that when I get fired up about something, I get, well…pretty PO’d.

Kids loved it and it did not last long in our house (goes great with coffee in the morning). I would cut the raisins to only 3/4 of a cup though as it has a little heavier raisin taste than I prefer. It’s pretty easy and tastes so much like those little cakes I used to devour in middle school. This is a recipe I found in Have your Cake and Vegan Too, a glorious cookbook by Kris Holechek. Okay, enough of the emotional stuff…bring on the pie! Your comments have and always will be very welcome to me – a huge reason why I do this – so please throw me your thoughts and opinions, and I will provide tasty vegetarian recipes. Second, I know some friends who are also struggling with this concept and thought we could support each other and offer ideas and recipes to make things easier. Many of my recipes are vegetarian or vegan and I do not want to pretend that I am 100% vegetarian/vegan. Why am I sharing this with you? First of all, I want to be honest. I think this is something I can adapt to and have resolved also to make any meat consumed from local sources, and no factory farmed animal or product. I am guessing Mark Bittman thought the same thing when he came up with his “Vegan before 6pm” lifestyle. Quite frankly I am getting tired with this one-sided conversation with myself. One day I think that eating animals is okay, the next I am making vegan recipes. I have been internally juggling many different feelings about how I should be eating. Many of my blog posts intermix food and food politics/ethics. And I bring you pie (actually, a rather large cookie like dessert) so you can’t be too mad, right?Īnother reason for my absence is a valid one that directly relates to this blog. The summer was busy with the kids, family, work, training for a marathon (yes, it’s this weekend finally!), house/garden work and other assorted shenanigans that occur during warmer weather.

It’s been a little while since I have blogged.
