Time for a quick food post. I'm in a rush. Kinda.
Starting with a Vitamix Recipe for BBQ Beef sandwiches. This was ridiculously easy. You just throw the BBQ sauce ingredients into the blender- blend. Then dump in a crock pot with a seared chuck roast. It was OK. The BBQ sauce is very basic and I usually prefer something way more spicy/sweet. This was just your basic BBQ sauce. So it won't be my go to. I did like the cole slaw though. I just used pre-shred veggies because I didn't feel like figuring out what to do with the rest of a huge cabbage... Served with Sweet Potato Fries.
Then it was time to make dessert. I made a Banana Mocha cake. I was scared it was going to taste like banana bread but it came out as a cake. The espresso didn't really make a big difference in the cake but it did in the icing. I didn't do ganache. I just free-styled a chocolate icing spiked with espresso. It came out great! It was a great cake overall. Not my favorite flavor- not sure I would make it again but I did really enjoy it. This is my 2nd cake of the year- my goal is to make four cakes. I think the next cake I make will be a red velvet cake for Juneteenth.
