Sweet Tatter Squares

Ever since I was diagnosed with Diabetes, I have been really worried that I would have to give up some of my favorite foods. But I’ve come to realize that just because you need to change your lifestyle to something more healthy doesn’t mean you have to give up on good tasting meals. When I started this baking project, I considered to myself… “Erin, what would you really want to eat right now if you could still eat anything?” Taiyaki. I love Japanese food.

Well, there’s tons of recipes for that out on the internet. What kind of twist can I add to that? Sweet potatoes. I love sweet potatoes too. I love it in souffles. I love it alone with a bit of butter and cinnamon. And the Japanese use it in their cooking all the time as well. Sweet potato tempura is the best!

That’s me. Doing the victory cake dance. I am victorious. I delivered the cake to my idol, Jennie Breeden. All hail the cake queen, baby.

Did I just give false information? So I turned to my tried and true source of information, Wikipedia. (Yes, I know Wikipedia isn’t always 100% correct.)

So here we go, ringing in the new year with an entirely new website layout, an entirely new theme, and an entirely new … wait, I’m still the same! It might take a bit of time for things to smooth out, but worry not, the old comics I have drawn are not gone and lost forever. They will be going up in a gallery soon.

So one of my friends on Facebook recently experienced the not so joyous experience of food poisoning at its best. Eggs past their prime. Well, just so I’m not misquoting her: “WORD OF WARNING: please read expiration dates! Especially on eggs. Apparently the eggs I used to make my omelette yesterday expired before Christmas. Me and the toliet had a very intimate morning and I got nothing done.”

So let me put on my glasses and start my food nerdisms.
