Chocolate Bread

A few days ago @DanaLShrager (@JewishCooking Facebook group) asked for ideas — other than hamantashen — about what might make good mishloach manot for Purim. My suggestions included muffins, quickbreads and other homemade food goodies.

Like this chocolate bread. It’s rich and tender because it’s made with yogurt. It’s also easy to prepare and can be wrapped nicely to give away as a gift. You can add raisins or chopped nuts, or even leave out the chips. For sure, it’s a winner for Purim or any time.

Chocolate Yogurt Bread

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1-1/4 cups sugar

1/3 cup vegetable shortening

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1-1/2 cups plain yogurt

1/2 cup chocolate chips, optional

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9”x5” loaf pan. Melt the chocolate and set it aside to cool. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt together and set it aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer set at medium, cream the sugar and shortening together. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the yogurt. Stir in the chocolate and mix until ingredients are well blended. Stir in the chips, if used. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a rack to cool completely. Makes one bread

The holiday season is upon us and we cannot keep calm! Christmas is the time of warmth, joy, and the delightful time to exchange gifts. If you are a ‘Secret Santa’ or simply exchanging gifts with your loved ones, you better make it special for them.

Instead of presenting a product that will need to find a home in the recipient’s home (or be given away or thrown away), gifting a consumable item lets the recipient enjoy it immediately without having to make room for it. Here are a few lovely ideas.

Weekly photo blog update! Ramble about these and life under the cut 😊

We found this amazing collection of books from 1945 about historical fashion second hand for super cheap! It's illustrated, in color, and in excellent condition, I'm over the moon 🥰 also the antique book fair is back in the city and we can't wait to go visit, I'll probably go next week so I'll share more later! although I really need to stop getting books, I've been out of bookshelf space for months now and they already took over half of the dinning table 😆

This little shop in the photos is where we get spices and dried fruit and it's very pretty so I thought I would share

Today we went out for sushi to one of our favourite places! It's venezuelan-japanese fusion and it's so so good, the drink is papelon con limon and I highly recommend it!

And last are these amazing thrift finds!! The skirt and sweater are perfect aaaaa I'm going to style so many autumn outfits soon after the weird heat wave passes, I can't wait!!

On a more depressing note, yesterday was my father's first birthday since his death a couple of months ago, and I also saw his tomb for the first time, my aunt sent me a picture at the graveyard and it's such a strange sight, seeing his name on a cross on the ground feels unreal. I try not to think about it too much, it's like if I stop running or look back it will catch up with me. We lit a candle last night with Nicolas and talked about him, it's getting easier to remember the good over the bad with time so I'm happy about that 😊

I hope everyone is having a great beginning of autumn!

It was absolutely poison and he absolutely enjoyed it. Much to Dusknoir’s disappointment.

A Homemade Christmas...by Carol Ann Taylor...

Hello and good morning I am back from my blogging break with a new look blog…I hope you like it and some good news…my cookbook is live on Amazon…Whoo Hoo! I have to add that at my age I never ever thought this would happen… I have cooked for years initially taught by my mother and grandmother and as I grew older by trial and error yes I have and still have monumental disasters in the kitchen…

I'm excited to give my coworkers their Christmas bags this week! In addition to the gingerbread pancake mix (complete with a tiny jar of molasses in case they don't have any at home) they're getting a mini fruitcake, a jar of applebutter made from the apples we harvested from our own trees, and some beef jerkey bites.

Civ. 4ee9 doodles for @crynkl , the creator of this glorious amphibian. You might notice her unusual eyes. The original ones don't exist anymore, so she got these fun fresh ones. Ask him about more of her lore if you're curious (highly recommend).
