I didn’t cook much this weekend; I haven’t had the time. Most meals have been thrown together in 5 minutes or less and were far from blog-worthy. Who am I kidding? Most meals have been candy and Reese’s peanut butter trees because I’ve been stressed. I’m sure life will be back to normal once these last few finals are finished.
Even if I’m not feeling the holiday spirit right now, my taste buds definitely are; I’ve been craving peppermint in everything. I’ve pretty much been satisfying those cravings with peppermint extract in chocolate oatmeal and cheap mints from the store, but here are some recipes I’d make with peppermint in them if I had more time.
Homemade peppermint patties(vegan + gluten-free)
Paleo mug cakes(just add 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract)
And now I’ll take one of each, please.
def checking out the patties. i was craving those on friday. and now again. thanks for that!
Aaww finals really aren’t conducive to cooking 🙁 Good luck on all of your exams!! Sending some good juju your way 😀
Peppermint anything rocks. Good luck on your finals!
Good luck 🙂
You know, I haven’t had one bit of peppermint this year. Odd. Last Christmas I was ALL about it. Will be making a peppermint smoothie tomorrow morning for good measure 😉
I’ll take a grasshopper brownie please! 🙂 Good luck on your finals!
Oh good lord, I knew I shouldn’t have clicked on your post. I’m in trouble now 🙂
Good luck on the finals!!!
Hey! I’m sorta new to baking so I’m glad I came across your blog. Having lotsa fun browsing through the baking recipes you’ve shared here. Good stuff! The raw dark choc peppermint pudding looks GREAT! Nice one!
Good luck with your finals! Have some peppermint tea while you’re at it–great for focus! Yes, peppermint anything is awesome, and for someone who really needs to avoid cacao, it’s one of the flavors that really works with carob subbed (esp if you use some cacao butter too)…
Good luck with the finals! Just think, halfway across the world, my brother isn’t doing finals. That’s almost as good as not doing them yourself, right?
I don’t know what it is about this time of the year, but I just love peppermint! Everything has to have a splash of peppermint in it.
ohhh I love anything mint and chocolate…so good!
Great tastebuds! This is out of the world…
