Dream Punta Cana

Avoid crowds by planning Septmeber summer vacation. I love it! This year, we went to the Punta Cana. There is nothing more relaxing than lazing around on the beach, sipping virgin pina colada and letting time pass slowly by with no obligations.

                                     

The pciture was taken on 09/10 by our Canan camera. It was the supper harvest moon. We can see it once every four years. I was amazed how detailed the imaged came out.

Matcha Latte

An herbal tea that has a savory nutty flavor and aroma. This Civil War-era coffee substitute is making a comeback.

Ingradients:

- 1 cup fat free mile ( almond milk, soy milk, rice milk)
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- Honey upon your taste

Preparation:

Bring 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, or cow's milk to a bare simmer in a small pot over medium-high heat.

Place 1 teaspoon matcha powder in a heatproof cup. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup boiling water, then almond milk, tipping cup slightly to help create more foam. Sweeten with agave syrup.

Matcha (green tea powder) is available at Japanese markets and other Asian markets, Wholefoods has it as well.

Grab A Mug! Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake in Your Microwave!

Microwave mug cake? Yes, it is super easy and tasty! Don't just take my word for it, try it and you will love it!

I don't like baking because I'm afraid of gaining too much weight and I have alway felt it requires too much work. I found the mug cake recipes at spoonful.com and could not help wanting to try them out. I started with the recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake because I happen to already have all of the ingredients in my cupboard! The result was great!

You can get a warm and yummy mug cake in 5 minutes( from the begining to the end)! The most amazing part is that everyone can make it in the office! Afternoon sugar rush? Well, grab a mug and make a cake!

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons flour - I used gluten free flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
3 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil- I used extra olive oil
1 tablespoon peanut butter

Directions:

In a large mug ( I used 1 cup size ramekin ) whisk (with a small whisk or large fork) together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt). 

Add the milk, vegetable oil and peanut butter. Whisk until smooth.

Cook in the microwave on high for 1 minute and 10 seconds. This recipe will rise a lot and then deflate. I know it's strange, but trust me it's delicious! Serve immediately!

Happy Valentine's Day!

It is another snow storm! I was going to take some pictures in Central Park, but the weather is so wet! I lost the motivation! Luckly, received the lovely roses! Quite fitting in the white background!
