Just…. no.

41 Comments

 

Have you noticed how everyone is posting their favorite recipes online lately?

Quarantine fever is driving everyone into the kitchen and they just can’t wait to share.

Every time I look I’m inundated with pleas of,  “Try this, you’ll love it!” or  “Our family’s favorite. You won’t be disappointed!”

In truth, I rarely love it…. and am more often than not disappointed.

 

Friends are always extolling the virtues of kale, tumeric, tofu and other completely unappealing things…

And after the recipe I saw yesterday?

I realize I simply need new friends.

Yeah.

I’m pretty sure parsnip spice cake won’t be happening in our kitchen any time soon.

      1. Okay, I understand that.
        I wouldn’t be able to make it anyway, as I am all out of parsnips (yuck).

        I would have to substitute the main ingredient with this kale I have.

  6. I don’t like or consider any cake made with vegetables, not even zucchini bread. And even though I like kale, I’ll be damned if I’d eat it in a cake. What is wrong with people? What happened to good old fashioned chocolate or lemon cake? German chocolate cake, yellow cake with chocolate frosting, orange cake with chocolate frosting…..you know I love chocolate right? lol

  8. Zucchini Bread is really rather good. You do not taste the zucchini, it just makes the bread melt in your mouth. That being said, I don’t make it either. My ‘other mother’ does and it is delicious.

    What I am seriously looking for is a good recipe for Pineapple, chicken and shrimp Pad Thai with that AWESOME sauce that goes with it. …………

  11. I’m running a contest for the baker of the best carrot cake–all they have to do is send me a carrot cake they have baked. We could do a tie in contest with you running one for the best Margarita and we can announce the individual winners together!!!

  12. I’d try parsnip cake. I’d probably even sarcastically say “I can hardly taste the parsnips!” because I’m assuming it wouldn’t taste like parsnips. When I’ve had them they’ve had a mild radishy spiciness but beyond that no real flavor.
    However I won’t bake it. I can cook if I have to, even bake, but I enjoy food so much more when someone else makes it. That’s why I’ll try pretty much anything if someone else makes it.

  14. I don’t understand this business of vegetables in desserts -except for carrot cake. Now that is the best invention ever!

  15. I actually quite like parsnips. They have a spiciness that I think would lend itself quite nicely to a spice cake. I used to be Team No Vegetables in my Sweet Baked Goods, but I quite like carrot cake (especially if it’s LOADED with cream cheese frosting – sorry Rivergirl 🙂 ) and let’s face it, while not rocking anyone’s world, zucchini bread is a helpful way to use up the most prolific vegetable in the universe.
