I love and savor my weekends and every minute I get to cook when I am relaxed and at home!Ever since we watched an episode of Jamie at Home with Jamie Oliver cooking all these root vegetables into a delicious mash, Brian has been squeaking about it! Jamie called the dish Bubble and Squeak which is traditional in England.

I usually make these muffins with carrots, but recently I had too many roasted beets leftover. I decided them to turn them into a delicious breakfast and snack that I can take to work. Beets add natural sweetness, stunning color, and most of all, they are so rich in iron.I especially love using beet powder for frosting cookies and other things, because I dohttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MangoPowerGirl/~3/8PPK1ML6SQk/sweet-beet-muffins.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (MPG)13<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=5s2XDNTn"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?d=41" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=OwM3fcf0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=OwM3fcf0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=hKqcIRjZ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?d=52" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=9ZnG1jqZ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=9ZnG1jqZ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=uc43l6dK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=uc43l6dK" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MangoPowerGirl/~4/8PPK1ML6SQk" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.mangopowergirl.com/2009/02/sweet-beet-muffins.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194653855636112812.post-3675511944428070746Sun, 08 Feb 2009 23:28:00 +00002009-02-17T21:59:57.594-08:00indianappetizerHave I said often enough that "I don't fry?" Ok, I take that back. When you live in one of the most overcast, drizzly, damp cities, sometimes you need to fry just to have some fun and warm you up. Once in a while an exception is ok, if you eat in moderation and don't go crazy! In India we fry bhajias during monsoon. I only wish that every time we fry, it could recreate the charm of monsoon!I http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MangoPowerGirl/~3/ci5SgTcsZdY/yes-i-did-fry-bhajias.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (MPG)14<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=B6JSi9YO"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?d=41" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=lXhWuzNX"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=lXhWuzNX" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=9e7KeSHr"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?d=52" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=FmscXZkm"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=FmscXZkm" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=DdaSG9U3"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=DdaSG9U3" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MangoPowerGirl/~4/ci5SgTcsZdY" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.mangopowergirl.com/2009/02/yes-i-did-fry-bhajias.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194653855636112812.post-4056414683809125420Sun, 01 Feb 2009 05:00:00 +00002009-02-05T22:54:56.151-08:00cheesetartlocally producedcascadiadessertappleOne of the best things about living in Seattle is freshness and finding it in many different ways each season. There aren't that many fruits in winter, but apples are abundant here.I tried to create a dessert for those who hate dessert. I used local apples, raw milk cheese, honey, and pastry sheets, then spiced it up! It has a savory edge to it and the real star ingredient is the Chinese 5 spice http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MangoPowerGirl/~3/4I1RW30gAoI/little-local-pleasures.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (MPG)10<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=4UDoZGKw"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?d=41" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=KYdJMApC"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=KYdJMApC" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=2FQZx3rr"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?d=52" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=RunxOuLD"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=RunxOuLD" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=Db5dvmdH"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=Db5dvmdH" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MangoPowerGirl/~4/4I1RW30gAoI" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.mangopowergirl.com/2009/01/little-local-pleasures.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194653855636112812.post-3457290880493935699Mon, 26 Jan 2009 06:00:00 +00002009-01-26T15:31:30.377-08:00snackmangohealthydessertIt is winter and I miss warmth, the sun, dryness, and of course mangoes! Honestly, it's been hard to find inspiration to blog. No, I haven't stopped photographing or cooking or eating! for that matter, but putting it all together takes energy, and who isn't a little lethargic this time of year!So what do I do in winter, when I miss mangoes? Stock up on this stuff :) I enjoy dried mango slices. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MangoPowerGirl/~3/eQY9RSgno9k/ginger-mango-mounds.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (MPG)11<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=x8JXOrXe"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?d=41" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=boe2ifEp"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=boe2ifEp" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=GE958gO1"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?d=52" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=2C0ngok8"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=2C0ngok8" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=UTCTu9sy"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=UTCTu9sy" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MangoPowerGirl/~4/eQY9RSgno9k" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.mangopowergirl.com/2008/12/ginger-mango-mounds.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194653855636112812.post-6412959835815459984Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:03:00 +00002009-01-11T13:38:37.482-08:00pike place marketdrinksseattleteafarmers marketsIf you have visited Pike Place Market in Seattle, then you must have been to Market Spice? If not, then you must go to Market Spice the next time you are at Pike Place Market. They make some of our favorite teas and blends, which we love so much that we even had people send their eponymous "Market Spice Tea" to us before we moved to Seattle. They were also one of the first market shops I visited http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MangoPowerGirl/~3/b-OqoHH9DOw/spiked-market-spice.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (MPG)10<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=455z5Vkd"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?d=41" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=s7k0Vxi9"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=s7k0Vxi9" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=V0WZLUpG"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?d=52" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=S6x1Nc2b"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=S6x1Nc2b" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?a=IDgBXAgQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/MangoPowerGirl?i=IDgBXAgQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MangoPowerGirl/~4/b-OqoHH9DOw" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.mangopowergirl.com/2009/01/spiked-market-spice.html
