Delicious (Spicy) Videos by Biteable. It's not what you think...

Biteable is a new company currently in beta that helps you, the average person, create animated videos with ease. Whether it be for a product, your business, a school, or new venture, their platform promises to make video production a cinch. Below is a sample of our video. We think it is very clever and certainly takes the shopping experience to an interactive level. They created this one for us and chose music and animation, but once they go live, you can customize your own video production.

Upcoming Craft Show: Naturally Bazaar!

We just wanted to share an upcoming craft show we will be attendingon 02/23. The show is called, "Naturally Bazaar" and is held at a well stocked vegan grocer called "Viva La Vegan" in Rancho Cucamonga. While we are not vegan ourselves, our spices are vegan friendly. Moreover, they are great on so many different foods including those of a vegan diet. Add tons of flavor to tofu, legumes, veggies, pasta, rice, veggie burgers, and more! We provide recipe tips for all: omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans. Eating should be tasty for all, don't you think.

 

Come see us February 23rd, 11-3pm @VivaLaVegan in Rancho Cucamonga.

4 Ingredients: 1 Incredibly Delicious Tapa!

Here is a delicious tapa you can make with a few ingredients. It is called, "pimiento piquillo relleno de txaka," or piquillo peppers stuffed with crab mixture. For this recipe, you would need to plan ahead since these peppers are not readily available in your grocer.

 

Piquillo peppers waiting to be stuffed!

 

Finished product - you and your guests will love them!

You will need:

1 jar/can of piquillo peppers. A specialty grocer either Latin or Spanish might carry them. And of course, you can order them online (amazon, etc).

1 package of imitation crab meat

4 hard boiled eggs

Mayonnaise

Finely chop the crab meat into tiny diced pieces. Do the same with the eggs. Combine these in a large mixing bowl and slowly add mayonnaise. Keep adding mayonnaise until the ingredients start to stick together. The texture should be like a thick paste. Then take a piquillo pepper and stuff the mixture in with a spoon until filled. Repeat will all the peppers.

That's it. It is ready to eat or you can refrigerate if serving later. Accompany with some slices of french baguette (us Spanish eat everything with bread...lol) and a glass of wine.

Makes a great appetizer! Enjoy

Sweet Somethings...

Who doesn't love chocolate? Now that a sweet holiday is approaching we thought we'd post a sweet recipe. Of course, chocolate is to be enjoyed any time and any place as far as we're concerned. So this is a pretty easy chocolate cake featuring our European Cocoa powder. Enjoy!

 

Recipe: Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake
2 cups white sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened European Cocoa Powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease bundt pan. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, mix for 2 minutes on medium speed of mixer. Stir in the boiling water last. Batter will be thin. Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
Bake 40 minutes minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake tests done with a toothpick. Cool and remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or frost it! Adapted from All Recipes.com
