PB & J Power Bars from Whole Food Energy by Elise Museles {book review}


January has come and gone along with most people’s New Year’s resolutions. Making better choices when it comes to food is not something that should only be thought of in January, but all year long. I am a baking blog and I think sugar has it’s place in our lives. However, I also agree that with sugar and/or added sugar in a lot of processed foods is a bit excessive and it’s wise to start paying attention to what is in our food.

I was sent Whole Food Energy to read and review and to be honest I wasn’t 100% sure what I was getting myself into! It was a pleasant surprise just looking at the content page. Divided into 3 parts the book covers everything from what supplies you should keep on hand to drinks, breakfast, snacks, and energy packed treats like these PB & J Power Bars.

I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and I was curious to how these power bars would turn out. The author states that her son has asked for these over and over again and I have to say they have been a hit with my daughters as well!

Full of oats, dates, peanut butter, dried cherries, and almonds it really does taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. No lie! The best part is knowing they are full of whole natural food that’s great for everyone! I like that they are chewy too, but the almonds give it a bit of crunch!


PB & J Chewy Power Bars

50g rolled oats
200g Medjool dates, pitted
60g unsweetened peanut butter
1 tsp of vanilla
1/2 tsp of salt
100g dried cherries
75g almonds, roughly chopped

Line a 2lb loaf tin with greaseproof paper with the sides hanging out. In a food processor pulse the rolled oats until still a bit chunky, but chopped up. It shouldn't be a powder. Add the dates, peanut butter, vanilla, and salt and pulse/process until it starts to come together and clump up. Add the cherries and pulse several times to incorporate them into the mixture. Take out the blade and add the chopped almonds and use your hands, clean please, to mix everything together. 
Place in the prepared loaf tin and using the hang over paper, fold it on and top and press the mixture down to flatten, try to make it as even as possible. Leave in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour before cutting into bars. Easy peasy.


Elise Museles is the author of the popular blog Kale & Chocolate has given us a book packed full of recipes that will keep you energised through out the day! If you haven’t heard of her check out her website/blog and this book! I have learned a lot just from reading through it and I can’t wait to try more of the recipes, especially the smoothie ones!




note: Whole Food Energy: 200 all-natural recipes to prepare, refuel, and recover by Elise Museles (from Kale & Chocolate) was sent to me to review by the UK publishers; Apple Press - Available online, from the publishers, and from all good booksellers now! No other compensation was given. All opinions are my own and it was known that I sometimes adapt recipes to share with my readers to give them a feel for the book.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Cake {the hummingbird bakery: Life is Sweet}


Yesterday I shared my thoughts with you on the new beautiful Hummingbird Bakery: Life is Sweet cookbook. So, today I am sharing with you the first thing I decided to bake from it. Which just had to be the Peanut Butter and Jelly layer cake!

I grew up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and even though I pretty much had them every day for lunch (back when you could take peanut butter to school) I still love them!


The combination of peanut butter and jelly is one that automatically makes brings “America” to mind. Therefore fitting right into everything that the Hummingbird Bakery stands for.

As usual the cake turned out great. Everything I have ever baked from the Hummingbird Bakery books has turned out lovely and exactly has expected.


There was a second attempt with the cake because the first time I didn't follow the instructions and used only 2 tins. The batter was dripping over the sides and all over the oven. Then it wasn't cooking right so, in the end I just dumped it and started again. It may have been okay, but my mood dictated that I start again. Sometimes starting from the beginning is the best way to clear your head and get what you want.

I am glad I did because it turned out lovely. The only teeny tiny gripe was the amount of frosting, but I think if I had used a bit more in between the layers it might have been okay.

It has been consistent with all the hummingbird bakery book that the frosting recipes tend to produce more then needed, but if you half the frosting it just isn't enough. In this situation I would prefer to have more then less.


Peanut Butter & Jelly Cake

110g unsalted butter, softened
380g caster sugar
320g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
255ml buttermilk
3 large eggs
3 ½ tablespoons of jam, flavor optional

Heat the oven to 170C and line three 8 inch/20 cm round cake pans with baking paper. Beat using a stand or hand mixer the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, and bicarbonate together until you get a sandy constancy.
In a jug or bowl mix the buttermilk, eggs, and jam (flavor of your choice) together. Then gradually add half of this mixture to the butter mixture and beat on medium until combined. Scraping the sides of the bowl down as you go. Once it’s smooth and has no lumps add the rest and beat until incorporated.
Divide between the tins. If like me, you only have 2 round cake tins, bake 2 then bake the 3rd one. It just takes more time, as you have to bake again and then wait for it to cool. Bake for 20-30 minutes, as ovens vary I would check on yours at 20 minutes then check again in 5 minute increments. It should have a nice golden brown color and spring back when touched. When in doubt use the skewer test. Leave to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from pan and leaving to cool completely before adding the frosting!!

peanut butter frosting:
190g smooth peanut butter
455g full-fat cream cheese, cold
2 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
450g icing sugar, sifted
1-3 tablespoons milk
jam, same flavor as chosen above

Beat the peanut butter until lighter in color before adding the cream cheese, vanilla, and salt. Mix for only a minute until combined. I over mixed just a little and it was softer then I would have liked. Add the icing sugar a little at a time, until completely incorporated. Then add one tablespoon of milk one at a time only use if needed.

to finish: Spread a good layer of jam on the first layer and then gently spread 4-5 tablespoons of the frosting on top of that. You don’t have to go to the edges because the next layer will smoosh it out. Then add the second layer and repeat, top with the final layer and cover the whole cake in frosting then enjoy!


notes: Previous post is a review of the newly release hummingbird bakery book Life is Sweet! I love peanut butter. Just wanted to have a note on the bottom like all my other posts.... :0) Also these pictures are just okay, it's a really hard cake to photography. I need to take a photography class! Just another random thought to put here in the "note" section! 

Snail Rolls {hor d’oeuvres for children}

One of my earliest memories of making food are these snack rolls. It was when we were still living in Wisconsin, before we moved to Indiana when I was 5.

I remember sitting at the kitchen table, the same table my little sister and I got caught hiding under with a jar of peanut butter. My older sister found us and promptly told on us. We tried to deny it, but the peanut butter all over our faces and the finger marks in the jar told a different story.

Anyhow it was that same table that the three of us sat rolling out bread slices and trimming the crusts before covering each slice with either peanut butter or jelly, then we’d roll and cut them up before sticking with toothpicks and eating them up!

That is basically how you make Snail Roll, you can trim the crusts before or after it really doesn't matter and you can add whatever fillings you want.

I made them with my girls and we added in Cookie Butter spread, chocolate spread, peanut butter, and jelly. Other fillings that would be good are honey, marshmallow fluff, lunchmeats, cheese, cream cheese, and other sandwich fillers!

Then you roll them up before cutting up into about ½ - 1 inch rolls. As kids we thought they looked like snails so that's how they got their name. 

We shared them with friends and they were gone in minutes so I was in the kitchen making more to satisfy the hungry children!


They are great for a rainy day activity or for any party! 

notes: No snails were used in these rolls. 

Orange, Passion Fruit, & Champagne Jelly desserts {product review}

After being at home with my girls for the last 7 years, I have jumped back into the working world. At the moment I currently have 2 ½ jobs. It seems like I have found myself with a lot on my plate.

I am finding out what it really means to time manage. So, I was pretty proud of myself for making these jellies’s in the morning so they would be set for after dinner!

It’s pretty impressive if I even have dinner on the table on time these days!

Jelly is one of those things that everyone loves. It doesn't matter how old you are. As we get older our tastes buds change and sometimes our favorite childhood treats just don't taste the same. This Taste the Difference range of jellies from Sainsbury's is full of flavor and has fun flavor combinations! 

These jellies can be made according to the instructions and therefore will be suitable for the whole family, but making it with the suggestions I listed below make it a bit more adult.... then again maybe not?

I was sent Orange, Passion Fruit, and Champagne Jelly and Blackcurrant, Elderflower, and Cassis Jelly to try out.

First I made the Orange, Passion Fruit, and Champagne Jelly with half orange juice and half prosecco. I added in some canned mandarin’s for texture and topped with whipped cream and passion fruit seeds/juice.


Then I made the Blackcurrant one in champagne flutes to add a bit of festive fun and topped that one with some whipped cream as well.


There are so many ways to be creative with this range, such as:
  • Use prosecco in place of water, as suggested on the bottle
  • Use your favorite fizzy drink, lemonade or an orange soda
  • Different juices to match the flavors of the chosen jelly (ex: elderflower juice in the blackcurrent or orange juice in the orange etc…) if you do use half water half juice sometimes it is a little too soft when setting if you use just juice.
  • Add in matching fruits, canned usually works best because the fruit will be soft.
  • Make it a jelly terrine!
  • Make it in a flat baking tray and once it’s set use cookie cutters to cut out fun shapes
  • Make it in a trifle (my husband wanted me to do this and I just don’t like trifles that much…. I know I know we’ll talk about this later!)
  • Make it in fun shapes using jelly moulds
  • Top with whipped cream or meringues or ice cream
  • Drizzle with all sorts of fruit syrups

Jelly is fun for all ages and these Taste the Difference ones from Sainsbury’s were super easy to make and they make a great treat for any time of the day! Especially during the holiday season that is full of rich and heavy foods. Why not lighten the load a bit with a jelly dessert! My favorite part is that they are made in advance and takes some of the stress away from the big day! See my time management is already getting better! 


notes: in association with Sainsbury's they sent me the jelly to try all opinions are my own please see my contact/policy tab above. 

Fizzy Jellies

Some children will be going back to school today after a long week off, others like mine, still have an inset day.

I feel lucky at the moment to have a part time job that allows a lot of flexibility. Which means more time to play with my girls!

Although to be honest I have become chopped liver as of late. 

Who wants to play with me when they have each other and Monster High, their latest obsession?

Ah well, I do come in handy when it comes to making fun and easy treats. Also when they need anything else for that matter. 

Jelly is one of the things I let them make pretty much on their own, which they love!

Of course they love eating it as much as they love making it! They are so very impatient though and if it's not setting high enough in the fridge there tends to be finger marks in it!

There isn't much you can do with jelly, but layer it or possibly add some fruit or something or mold it in fun molds... okay there is a lot you can do with jelly! 

One of them is making it fizzy. Basically fizzy jelly is just replacing some of the water with 7-Up or any clear carbonated soda. Make sure the 7-Up or lemonade is chilled in the fridge before hand.



Fizzy Jelly

1-2 packages of different flavored jelly
7-Up or lemonade
water

Start with one flavor and break the jelly block into squares along the indented lines into a measuring jug. Fill with water up to the 150ml or ¼ pint mark. Place in the microwave for 10 seconds and stir until dissolved. If needed place in the microwave again for a further 10 seconds until it’s completely dissolved. Leave it to cool for a minute or two. Tilting the jug slightly (helps to keep the bubbles) pour 7-Up along the side of the jug to the 570ml or 1 pint mark. Then pour into whatever jelly molds you have or glass cups. Leave to set for about 4 hours in the fridge. 

Repeat as we did with a second flavor, you could do three or four different flavors if you had the patience and enough molds/glasses to divide into.



notes: Lemonade in the UK is a fizzy carbonated drink, not like the lemonade in the USA that kids sell at stands. Also "Jelly" is Jello and it comes in cube forms not a powder. I am curious if champagne or prosecco would be a good replacement to make them for adults? Might have to try it out sometime. The idea was inspired by Paddington Bear and his cookery book. 

Ginormous Jaffa Cake Cake

Until I moved to the UK I had never heard of Jaffa Cakes.

I can’t recall the exact moment I tried a jaffa cake for the first time, but I do remember thinking they were a bit odd.

The thing was I couldn't quiet decide what it was.

We, us humans, like things to be defined. We feel safer when things make sense or fit into a category. That way we can say we understand it because it fits into something we already know.

Jaffa cakes didn't really make sense to me and I wasn't sure I liked them or not. Even though I have a love of orange and chocolate. 

Then there was a new tax on chocolate covered biscuits. Which then began the whole debate on if a jaffa cake was in fact a cake or was it a biscuit.

Finally we would know where the jaffa cake stood and by knowing that we could sleep better at night.

It was decided they were more cake like and therefore wouldn't be taxed. They proved their point by making a large jaffa cake and I would like to think it was a bit like this one.


Ginormous Jaffa Cake Cake

orange jelly

juice of 4 large oranges
100g golden caster sugar
6 gelatine leaves

Line a 8in/20cm round cake tin with clingfilm. Before juicing the oranges, zest them and save it for cake below. Once zested juice the oranges and place in a saucepan with the sugar. Gently stir to dissolve. While that’s doing that, place the gelatine leaves into cold water to soften. Once soft, squeeze any excess water out before placing in the warm orange juice/sugar mixture. Gently stir until the gelatine is completely melted, then pour into prepared pan and set for 4 hours or more in the fridge.

cake cake:

250g unsalted butter, room temperature, cubed
300g golden caster sugar
4 large eggs
100g full fat natural yogurt
300g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
zest of 4 large oranges

Line a 10in/23cm round cake tin with greaseproof paper and grease with a little butter. Place all the ingredients into a large bowl or the bowl of a freestanding mixture and beat until everything is combined. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 55 minutes or until springy to the touch and a skewer test comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin until the tin is cool enough to handle. Finish cooling completely before placing the jelly circle in the middle of the cake.

chocolate ganache

284ml double cream
150g milk chocolate, broken up
150g dark chocolate, broken up

Place all the ingredients above in a heat proof bowl and set on top of a simmering pan of water. Once the chocolate starts to melt gently whisk in the middle of the bowl in tiny circles. It just slowly mixes the chocolate and the cream and it always gives a smooth silky ganche. Cool slightly before pouring on top of the jelly topped cake.

5 ways to use your Brioche Pasquier Loaf


1. Cinnamon Toast
Cinnamon Sugar: 2/3 cups sugar mixed with 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Toast your brioche slice and liberally butter sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top leave for about a minute then tap off the excess cinnamon sugar back into the cinnamon sugar pot/jar.


2. PB & J Sandwich
All you need is your favorite jam be it strawberry, raspberry, or bramble on one slice of brioche and peanut butter on the other. Then enjoy!


3. Hamburgers
Some trendy burger joints are now offering brioche buns for a small extra fee. And other trendy burger places are using sliced bread instead of buns. So, I thought I’d use both trends and use sliced brioche for my hamburgers!


4. Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding:
260g sliced Brioche Pasquier, cubed
100g chocolate chips
3 large eggs
40g light brown sugar
2 tbsp of dark rum
600ml full fat milk
4 handfuls of demerara sugar

Lightly butter a baking dish and add the stale cubed bread. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the stale cubed bread. Whisk the eggs, brown sugar, rum and milk together before pouring all over the stale cubed bread. Then sprinkle about 4 small handfuls of the demerara sugar over the top, this is what gives it a nice sugary crunch on top. Heat the oven to 170C. Soak for about 20 minutes while the oven heats up. Bake in the oven 40-50 minutes. Let it cool slightly before serving!



5. Classic Bread & Butter
Let’s be honest Brioche is delicious and I ate at least half of my Brioche Pasquier loaf with a slathering of butter. Sometimes with Maple Moose Butter! When it's paired with the sweetness of the brioche loaf it is something pretty special! Yum! 



notes: I was given a couple of loaves of Brioche Pasquier to try, please see my contact/policy page for further information. Moose Maple Butter was also given to me at Food Blogger Connect. Recipe is adapted from Nigella’s Kitchen.

Homemade Roasted Peanut Butter & book review

The Ginger & White cookbook was published earlier this year it shares the recipes from a beloved coffee shop(s) in London.

It stresses the importance of good coffee not the milky nothing coffees in chain cafĂ©s. In fact it’s the first thing the authors and owners (Tonia George, Emma Scott, & Nicholas Scott) show you how to do before they even get to the amazing recipes in this book.

I am always looking for a good cup of coffee. It’s not just about the coffee though they cover everything you’d expect from a cafĂ©. Breakfast & Brunch, Lunch, Sarnies, Baking, and Pantry bits & bobs.

Normally I would head straight to the baking section of any cookbook and I’m not going to lie it’s where I first looked. They have delicious looking scones, cakes (a few gluten-free), and loaf cakes, but it was the Sarnie section that I was drawn too!

With recipes for Goats’ curd & baby spinach on white stick with red onion marmalade, Pulled ham hock on potato soudough with roasted mustardy shallots, and Salt beef on sourdough with cucumber pickles & mustard mayo where else would you want to go to lunch? Heck these sandwiches would be good any time of the day!


Still to me the best sandwich in the world is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It’s the American child in me. So, when I saw they had a recipe for homemade Roasted Peanut Butter I knew I was in love.

I whizzed it up and enjoyed my childhood favorite with an adult twist. My friends’ grandmother makes all sorts of jams and she gave me a homemade apple plum jam that I used to make this sandwich!

Roasted Peanut Butter
from The Ginger & White Cookbook

500g unsalted peanuts, with skin
1 tsp sea salt
175ml groundnut oil
1 tbsp clear honey
1 tbsp demerara sugar

Preheat the oven to 180C/160Cfan/gas4. Take two glass jars straight out of the dishwasher and place them in the oven to dry while you roast your peanuts so they will be sterilized when you’re done making the peanut butter.

Place the peanuts in a large roasting tin and roast until golden, 35-45 minutes. Move them around about half way to insure even browning. The skin will peel off to revel a nice tan color underneath. Once they are a nice bronze color (plus the smell fills the kitchen) they are ready.

Place the peanuts, still in their skins, to a food processor or blender with the rest of the ingredients and blend until combined and a consistency you are happy with.

If it feels too thick add a little bit more oil, you want it to be paste like. You can add more honey or sugar to taste. Transfer it to your sterilized jars, seal tightly, and label with the date! Or spread some on toast right away and enjoy!!

You Can Take the Girl out of America, but...

Recently I have been told that I occasionally sound British. More specifically strangers have said to me that they weren't sure about my accent as I said something that sounded American, but then I sounded British.

I’m not sure what that means. Nor am I really sure how I’m suppose to feel about that?

Maybe that’s why I get mistaken as Irish sometimes. An American accent with a British accent twang perhaps? American accents are actually closer related to the Irish/English then the English/English.

I don’t actually know if that is true, I was just told that by a fellow American Expat. She has been mistaken as Irish before too. One very nice Irish twitter friend I tweet occasionally told me she gets mistaken as American.

Crazy. I suppose I should have expected after 8+ years that I would pick up on the British ways of saying things. It’s not a bad thing, but I like sounding like an American. It’s a part of me, ya know?

I will get used to it, just like I had to get used to my last name when I married.

However just because the girl has been taken out of America does not mean the America has been taken out of the girl! Here are some Peanut Butter Thumbprint cookies filled with a raspberry jelly!

And yes I used cups!! You know what else? I use an American laptop because I can’t type on a British keyboard! You didn't need to know that random fact, but I felt it’s about time I confessed.

Don't be put off by the cups because these cookies are yummy! They are great as an after school snack or just because you like peanut butter and jelly!



Peanut Butter & Jelly Thumbprint Cookies

1 1/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (plain flour)
½ tsp baking soda (baking powder)
1 tsp flaky sea salt or ¾ tsp fine sea salt
8 tbsp (1 stick (114g)) unsalted butter, melted
½ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup golden granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup natural smooth peanut butter (stir well to blend the oil before measuring)

Mix the flour, baking soda, salt and then set aside. In another bowl mix the sugar and melted butter, before whisking in the egg, vanilla, and peanut butter. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for an hour. Don’t worry if you need to leave it for longer, you can leave it over night if you must!

Preheat the oven to 325F/160C/gas3 and prepare two baking sheets. The recipe makes about 4-dozen cookies.

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes, until lightly colored on top and underneath, one cookie will need to be sacrificed to check the bottom. Because the cookies are soft to the touch as they come out of the oven when you turn one over it will most likely crumble.

Which is okay as they firm up while they cool. Which is why when they come out of the oven you need to put the “thumbprint” in the cookies before they cool. I used the bottom of my silicone pastry brush to make a hole in the middle to hold the jelly a bit better. When making the “thumbprint” you need to be very gentle as the cookies are sensitive.


to finish

3-5 tbsp Jelly/Jam of any flavor 

Before serving fill the “thumbprints” with jelly! Then Enjoy!



notes: I did try to hunt down some Grape Jelly as is traditional in PB & J, however I didn't want to pay the extortionate shipping fees for one jar of jelly! Natural Peanut Butter & Co. comes in 340g(12oz) tubs that equals one cup. I bought all the ingredients for this recipe. When I say I can’t type on a British keyboard I mean I won’t. I get really frustrated without my American keyboard! O_o Recipe is slightly changed from Alice Medrich's recipe in Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-your-Mouth Cookies.

I made these for Treat Petite Baking Blogging Challenge hosted by The Baking Explorer (this month's host) and CakeyBoi! This month’s theme was America! Can’t wait to see what next month’s theme is! 

Homemade Strawberry Jam with Janet

One of the things I look forward to every June is going to Spencer Farm and pick strawberries. 

The kids love berry picking! Every year I have high hopes that we pick enough to make jam. 

But year after year the delicious berries are eaten up before I can I hide some away! 


Until this year! We picked 28lbs of strawberries! So, my oldest mini baker helped me make our very first batch of jam. It turned out beautifully!!

You can find the recipe I used at H Family Happenings, where I guest post, last Friday, my strawberry picking experience for her Flaunt my Friend Friday! 

It is very satisfying to eat the jam we made from the berries we picked. Next year maybe I can even grow my own....hmmmmmm....;0) ~ Janet 


almost empty jar

Update: June 2014
Homemade Strawberry Jam


I was lucky again this year to get enough strawberries to make the jam again! The jam, like the strawberries won't last that long, it's that good! ~ Janet 

Peanut Butter & Jam Pinwheel Cookies!!

These Peanut Butter & Jam Pinwheel Cookies were a huge hit this morning when I took them to a friends for a play-date! Enjoyed by the kids and mothers! They were super easy to throw together.

If they are made in the evening the dough can rest over night and once cut they bake in 10-12 minutes. Easy and super tasty!

 If these cookies are any indication of the rest of the recipes in this book my friends, family, and I are in for some really amazing treats!

If you are desperate for this recipe it is located in the hummingbird bakery Home Sweet Home. As it was just released I won't be sharing the recipe here at the moment.


notes: buy the book: Amazon UK & USA (kindle edition only)
update (later today) I googled these cookies and found the recipe here!

Rainbow Dash's Rainbow Jellies!!


So, this isn't so much a baked good as a fun treat for kids!

My oldest turns five in December and she wants a birthday party. At first she wanted a My Little Pony Party (or maybe I wanted her to want one!) and now she wants a princess party!

I have a bunch of great ideas for a My Little Pony party and if I can’t use it for her birthday I’ll use it for my 30th in May! ;0)

A rainbow cake with blue frosting would also be awesome for a My Little Pony Party!! 

Anyway, every once and a while we pick up the MLP magazine and they had a ‘recipe’ for rainbow jellies (jello in the USA) I thought these are easy enough and would be great for a party if you topped it with fluffy light blue cream! I didn't do the topping but the girls and I had fun making and eating these rainbow jellies!


To make Rainbow Dash’s Rainbow Jellies: Buy any number of different colored/flavored jelly (jello) make according to instructions and layer in the order of a rainbow* starting with blue/purple at the bottom and topping with red. If you make it in a mold that needs to be turned out start with red at the bottom and so on… Also be sure that each layer is set before adding the next!


I just wanted to not the subtle colors of the UK jelly. The reason it’s subtler is because it doesn’t have huge amounts of unwanted e-numbers and additives! If you made it with Jello you’d get much more vibrant colors, but all those extra unnatural things your body really doesn't need!
