http://socalsustenance.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 25, 2011. Fat Free Lemon Glazed Cupcakes. Lately it seems that the creative juices often flow whenever the heck they want, with little regard for convenience or time restrictions. This was the case in Virginia, when I had the chance to hang out and bake with the wonderful Bonnie of Bonz Blogz. Fat Free Glazed Lemon Cupcakes. 1/3 cup egg whites. 1/3 cup skim milk. 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. 2 tsp lemon extract. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. 1 2/3 cups flour. 1 tsp baking powder.

http://socalsustenance.blogspot.com/2010/02/pb-j-hamantaschen.html

Saturday, February 27, 2010. PB and J Hamantaschen. Perhaps you've seen pictures of small, triangular shaped cookies filled with ooey gooey goodness floating around the food blogs in the past week or so and wondered. what's the fuss over these funny little things? The festive celebration of Purim, a Jewish holiday commemorating the offing of a certain pointy hat wearing bad guy, starts this weekend. Jewish folks are to eat, drink and be merry. not too bad as holidays go right? The other cool thing? Wore ...

SoCal Sustenance: Moonshine Whoopie Pies

http://socalsustenance.blogspot.com/2009/10/moonshine-whoopie-pies.html

Thursday, October 22, 2009. I've been reveling in the picture perfect weather here in sunny California, and the kitchen at Chez SoCal is definitely open for business once again. One of my favorite food blogs to frequent is also a local LA gal, Sara, over at Culinerapy. Perusing her site a few nights ago, I was delighted to see a recipe for a New England staple, the whoopie pie. I've been pondering, mulling, and plotting this recipe ever since. I've had this recipe. Makes 9 - 10 whoopie pies. Combine flou...

SoCal Sustenance: September 2010

http://socalsustenance.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 30, 2010. SoCal Locals and a Giveaway: Earnest Eats. First things first, let's start with the awkward formalities. I've been gone for entirely too long from the blogging world, and I do apologize for my absence. The reason is a good one though, I promise. The location is the same as I've mentioned numerous times before, upstate New York. But this time the reason is a little different. Of epic taste proportions. Is that blatant enough for you? The Earnest Eats line consists of two prod...

Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Walnut Brown Sugar Shortbread Bars. Being off the radar for so long from the blogging world, it's hard to approach the proper tone upon returning. Will anyone still want to read this? Have I been unfollowed by the world? Is this thing on? Tap tap* Are those. crickets? I stood before Ben and Jerry asking for sweet creamy divine intervention, and I got nothing. Not a twinkle, a flash or a glimmer. I Didn't. Want. Ice cream. And this is how I knew I'd hit my rock bottom. 9 ounces b...

SoCal Sustenance: Ginger Lime Macaroons

http://socalsustenance.blogspot.com/2010/03/ginger-lime-macaroons.html

Thursday, March 25, 2010. So what's the deal with Passover? To get the full effect of that sentence, read it with your best Seinfeld inflection. Once again Passover has crept up and is here to stay for the next eight days. This holiday commemorates when the Jews had to haul tuchus out of Egypt, and in the rush their bread was unable to rise. To celebrate this, we eat Matzoh. 3 cups shredded coconut. 1 tsp fresh lime juice. 1 1/2 tsp lime zest. 2 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, finely minced. Preheat oven to 325 de...

SoCal Sustenance: April 2010

http://socalsustenance.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 29, 2010. SoCal Sustenance Blog Anniversary! It's hard to believe that one year ago, I was toiling away at my very first post. Here in SoCal. It makes me giggle a little to read back through my old posts, complete with newbie goofs, cringe worthy photographs and the requisite corny food analogies. This blog was created out of personal curiosity about what this blogging world was about. I've learned leaps and bounds more than I ever anticipated, and enjoyed it much more as well. Wash and c...
