Shave Ice syrup!

I like to use this for when i make shave ice! :D

1 c. sugar
2 c. water
1 package of non sweetened kool-aid

Boil the water and sugar together for about a minute. Then stir in the kool aid. Let it cool in the fridge and then put it on the shaved ice or the snow cone stuff. I got this off of all recipes. I wasn't sure if it was going to work, but it was really good.

Working on..

And I need to post more on here.
Made some boston brown bread, but still tweeking the recipe since it doesn't come out just like how i want it..

Food Profile: Avocados!

I love avocados! They're so creamy and good! I like making guac with them and eating them in a sandwich with onion and fake mayonnaise.
So, avocados have for 1 c:
21g. fat
234 calories
it has 24% of your vitamin c,
708 mg potassium
20% of Vitamin B-6

Also:
If you put avocados in your salad, it has the right fats to make the fat based vitamins work. That means that you get more nutrients in your salad than ever! Some of the vitamins won't be released without some fat there.
If you want to keep them from browning, add lemon juice. It also adds some good flavor in your guacamole.

Thacia's Guacamole recipe:
3 avocados
2 t. lemon juice
3/4 t. garlic powder
3/4 t. salt
3/4 t. onion powder

Mash and enjoy!

I'll be doing more of these Food Profiles, looking at natural and processed foods!

Sorry about the changes on this blog. Got kind of confusing for me.

Review! Toffuti Cream Cheese!

So I really enjoy this thing called Toffuti Cream Cheese! It tastes just like cream cheese and works well on bagels, in icing and on breads and stuff. There are a few flavours, like plain, garlic herb, french onion, herbs and chives, and then a non hydrogenated version of the plain.

This isn't my pic by the way

So I would suggest trying this product and other ones and from Tofutti. they make some cheese and sour cream. 

Traveling and crazyness.

Ahh! been so crazy around here. Don't worry, i haven't forgotten about this blog. Actually I have been thinking up recipes!

Like....
Cake pops binded together with peanut butter?

Wafers
Fake Feta Cheese

updates

Hey guys. Sorry i haven't posted that much. I'm on vacation at the moment so i'm taking it easy. I'm looking for the next of the few recipes. Like foods that i see that i can healthify. :) i wanted to do Canadian Potine but i don't know how to do that. It is on my mind. Don't worry. Lol. 

I just tried some really good Boston Brown Bread. It's usually made without eggs so that won't be hard. I just need to take out all the fat and i'll be good. Time to experiment when i get home!! 

I also want to try and replicate the Old Spaghetti Factory minestrone soup because that's really good and what i usually have when i'm there. It's nice and warming and very good. Their salad is also very good. Since i can't get the Spaghetti, that is always a good alternate.
