Baking Without a Recipe!?

I'm kind of in heaven since that I've discovered this book about common cooking ratios on Amazon.com . I'm especially excited about the breads and cookies. I already feel like I understand why my nut-free Russian Tea Cake cookies were flat last year (not enough flour since I omitted the ground nuts). I love tinkering but I never know how things are going to come out. Today I'm trying the nut-free tea cakes again. I wish I had the courage to try ground Grape Nuts cereal as a replacement but after yesterday's baking disaster, I think I'll play it safe.

Chicken with Broccoli from A Teaspoon of Happiness

Since my son has a nut allergy, we don't order Chinese takeout anymore. This homemade chicken with broccoli was AMAZING. I didn't have rice vinegar on hand so I used apple cider vinegar. I will try it again with rice vinegar because the taste was a teeny tiny bit off and I'm sure it was the vinegar. http://www.ateaspoonofhappiness.com/chinese-chicken-and-broccoli/ I made this on a Friday night, when we might order takeout and eat something unhealthy anyway. If I'm going to start making this regularly, I'll need to tinker a bit to make it a little healthier. So I plan to try coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, and I may try some caramelized onions in order to reduce the sugar.
