Red velvet is actually a chocolate cake but it doesn't taste like rich chocolate cake to me. The red color comes from red food coloring that you put in. I have a favorite recipe that I use that is a combination/variation of several different recipes I've tried over the years.

I bake Bilby, though not really done much over the last few month.
I may make mince pies later, as my daughter and her partner are coming over tonight.

Some bakeries make it with the liquid from beets. There is a slight difference in some of the ones I tried, but it could be a number of things.
These recipes are making me hungry! I miss cooking.... :(
Hi everyone!
So, my eating habits are terrible and I'm trying to eat healthy. My grandmother moved in with us in October, and has been making me eat breakfast. Now I can't live without it. I've also decided that I need more fruit in my diet, since my fruit just consists of a glass of apple juice. So I thought, SMOOTHIES!
And then I remembered- I HATE fruit. I LOVE green apples, green grapes, blueberries are good. I cannot even smell a banana or I will gag, same with oranges.
I thought it'd be easier to start having fruit if I put it in smoothies. I'm just starting right now, but I'd love to share a few recipes and hope I get some back! The best part about smoothies is that you can make them up as long as you have a blender and fruit. :D
My recipes
Apple Blueberry Smoothie (Makes 2 normal ones or 1 big one)
Ingredients:
1) 1 green apple-don't peel it (peel it if you wish, but fibre comes from the peel, so I keep it on.), take out the core, then chop it up into tiny cubes.
2) 20 blueberries
3) 1 cup of chocolate milk- or white milk. I like chocolate!
4) two tablespoons of Greek Yogurt-vanilla flavoured or plain to help with the thickness
5) maple syrup- about 1/3 of a cup, makes it sweet!
Directions: Put in blender and blend until you think it's smooth.
That gives you 2 servings of fruit, and about 1 1/2 servings of dairy products (I'm using Canada's Food Guide)
Chocolate Chip Smoothie (Makes two normal size or 1 big size)
Ingredients:
1) 1 green apple-don't peel it (peel it if you wish, but fibre comes from the peel, so I keep it on.), take out the core, then chop it up into tiny cubes.
2) 20 blueberries
3) 4 strawberries (cut up into quarters and don't forget to chop of the green leaf at the top and throw it out!)
4) 1 cup chocolate milk-or white, I like chocolate.
5) two heaping tablespoons greek yogurt
6) maple syrup-about 1/4 cup
7) a quarter of a bag of chocolate chips (40 chocolate chips)
Directions: Blend until you think it's smooth.
That gives you two and a half servings of fruit, and 1 and a half servings of dairy products (courtesy of Canada's Food Guide again)
Happy inventing and happy eating! :D

I'm on a wheat-free diet for health reasons, so finding recipes is difficult, to say the least. Add to that, that I really don't enjoy cooking, and you won't find me in the kitchen unless I am in the mood. I prefer microwave cooking to stove top and oven, because the microwave timer works wereas the stove one does not. Also, the more complicated the recipe, the less likely I am to try it! As well, I live way out in the mountains where getting unusual ingredients will not be possible. Expensive or fancy ones are out also, as I am a poor widow (cooking for 1). Now that we have all that straight, let me ask if there might be some ricipe(s) that could work for me?
I made another smoothie this morning because my apples were starting to get brown. I chopped off the brown and this is what my recipes did! I thought it was better than dessert! Really chocolatey and full afterwards.
Heaven in a Blender (Makes 1 1/2 large cups or 3 normal cups)
Ingredients:
1) 2 green apples- cut out the core- peel it if you wish- I keep the peel on for fibre. Cut it up into cubes.
2) 7 strawberries- Cut off the green thing on top and discard it. And cut the strawberries into quarters.
3) 20 blueberries
4) 1 cup of chocolate milk- or white milk. I like chocolate!
5) three tablespoons greek yogurt- plain or vanilla.
6) maple syrup-1/4 cup
7) 40 chocolate chips
6) 20 butterscotch chips.
That gives you four servings of fruit and 1 and 1 half servings of dairy products (Canada's food guide.)
I'm so full right now! Yay! :D
