Vanilla Extract

This year we tried making our own vanilla extract to give for Christmas.  We aged Madagascar Bourbon Planifolia Vanilla Beans in vodka for six months to reach a perfectly rich and delicious product.

If you’re interested in making your own (or purchasing one of the few bottles we have left), send us an email.

Quick Lunch: Creamy Veggie Pasta

I realized, around 1:00, that it was in fact 1:00 and that I was still at my desk. . . and that I was starving!  Remembering I had a few things here at the office, I walked away from my desk & into the kitchen.  Into a bowl I poured one cup of cooked pasta (leftover from dinner with my Dad), scattered in some sugar snap peas, grape tomatoes and broccoli (brought to snack on with hummus) and covered all this in cling film.  Microwaving for three minutes steamed the veggies to a perfect crisp doneness and warmed the pasta through.  I then stirred in two wedges of french onion Laughing Cow Light spreadable cheese.  The result was delicious (and only 7 Weight Watchers Points Plus).
