Spiced Hot Dark Chocolate

I tried this tonight, and while it was good, I overdid it on the cayenne, which over-powered the other spices. I also cut the recipe down and used way less chocolate than was called for, subbing in cocoa powder instead. The end result was less sweet than it would have been, but healthier and still yummy. Recipe.

Okra Curry

This was a yummy way to eat okra, I had never cooked with it before. She doesn't tell you to slice up the okra before sauteing though, and I found that was necessary. Recipe.

Squash and Chickpea Salad

This was so so good, like, amazing. I'm not huge into dinner foods that are sweet, so I appreciated the savoryness of this squash dish. Roasting garlic with the squash made such a difference. Recipe.

Baked Persimmons

I'm going to post more about the cooking that I've been doing, because I've been the only one enjoying it so why not share?? I made these earlier in the week, yummy but I think I'll top them with a little brown sugar next time so that they caramelise a bit more. Recipe.
