<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In a large bowl, beat eggs with the sugar until
well-combined. Add oil and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, and salt and mix
until completely combined. Divide the dough into 6 (six) pieces. Place each piece into a separate small bowl
and add color of choice. Fold color into dough until evenly mixed. Repeat with
remaining dough. Line a loaf pan with
plastic wrap. Add the first color of
dough to the bottom of the pan. Spread
evenly and press the dough down in to the pan.
Add the next color and repeat until all the colors are layered in to the
loaf pan. Cover with remaining plastic
wrap and chill several hours or overnight.
After the dough has chilled, remove the plastic wrapped dough and cut
lengthwise. Stack the dough on top so
that you have two bands of rainbow dough. Make ½ inch slices in the dough from the short
end onto a lightly-floured counter. Roll
each of these slices out slightly to about a ¼ inch thickness. </span></div>

Let me just give you a quick run-down of our menu for Rosh Hashana this year. As with many holidays, this menu doesn't change all that much from year to year. You can check out one from a few year's past <a href="http://frugalgourmetmom.blogspot.com/2011/09/menu-plan-monday-92611.html">here.</a><br />
<br />
The highlight of the menu and my favorite part is the Challah. You can read about how I make my <a href="http://frugalgourmetmom.blogspot.com/2014/09/yom-tov-challah.html">Yom Tov Challah here.</a><br />
<br />
I'm listing all the recipes for both dinners and then for lunch that I plan on making. They are not in any particular order as I'm not sure what I will exactly serve each day, but I know we will eat well! :)<br />
<br />
When possible, I've tried to include any recipes from online sources (like right here on my blog or Food Network, etc.) Thanks for checking out my blog.<br />

Ok, so I realize that the menu plan looks very similar to the one I posted last year. Ahem. Yes, it pretty much is the same with a few changes and tweaks. This year we are fortunate to be going to a friend's house for the Second night, so I don't need to plan a menu although I'm sure we'll be bringing something along (?) Also, a dilemma I face every year is packing school lunches for the kids. Last year they wanted nothing to do with any type of matzo sandwich situation. The solution was a vegetarian Matzo Ball Soup in Thermos containers. I chose to make it veggie so that I could pack along some cheese or sweet treat that might have some dairy in it ;) It worked last year, but that's no guarantee for this year, so I may need to wing it as we go. Anyway, here it is and <b>Happy Pesach</b>! -<br />

<b>Oatmeal Sandwich Bread </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(adapted from Better Homes &Gardens Bread Cookbook, 1970)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Packages dry yeast (4 1/2 tsp.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 cup quick cooking oats</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 cup brown sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/3 cup vegetable oil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 Tbs. salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 eggs, slightly beaten</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6- 6 1/2 cups bread flour</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
egg wash: 1 egg white, beaten with 1 Tbs. water </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
additional oats for topping</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In a medium bowl, combine oats with 1 1/4 cups of boiling water, brown sugar, oil, and salt. Stir to combine and allow to cool to lukewarm. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or in a large mixing bowl by hand, combine yeast with 1/2 cup warm water. Add the warm, not hot, oatmeal, beaten eggs, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture and combine. Continue adding flour gradually until a soft ball of dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface or continue kneading by the mixer until smooth (about 5-10 minutes). Place dough in a greased bowl and allow to rest, covered, until doubled in bulk (about 1-2 hours). After first rising, remove the dough and divide in half. Shape the loaves and place in to 2 greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch pans. Cover the pans loosely and allow to rest (30 minutes to an hour). Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Uncover loaves, brush the egg wash on the tops and sprinkle with a handful of oats. Bake for about 40 minutes. Allow loaves to completely cool on a rack before slicing. Enjoy! </div>

Here is the quilt that I have jokingly referred to as my 10 year quilt. I started this quilt while pregnant with my first child. I worked on it until I could no longer hold a needle or see the chart properly because I was so swollen all over my body my joints could barely bend and my eyesight failed me. Later, after that first baby was born I would occasionally pick up the quilt to work on and even less occasionally after a second baby was born. I worked on this quilt off and on through the past ten years. On cold and rainy days, on many a road trip up and down the East coast, on days when I had one or two sick children on the couch and on so many days in between this quilt was on my lap and in my hands. Little by little this quilt came together. I worked on small sections at a time, because that was all I could afford it. Amazingly, after all of that, it came together like it was all of a sudden and it was done. I can't help but feel a bit of sadness to see it all finished.<br />

Oven Roasted Tofu</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
This recipe is a non-recipe of sorts. My friend Lea ("Hi!") has asked me to share some vegetarian meals that we eat. This recipe is at the heart of many of those dishes. I make oven roasted tofu about once a week. It's a total no-brainier and I am lucky if any is leftover for lunch the next day. You need to start with a package of firm or extra firm tofu. You'll find it in the refrigerated case of the produce sections<br />
<div>
Open the package, drain the water and place it on a couple of paper towels.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqBHvX5_MRszTKU9qycRf3lLUNDGjtVPlbcT6CfKc86Sx6-b0AqeapT3ybmo2uka9ZJRAwyp2mdkjABAexx-3zVwD_a0ch5uEIwkYtEwa-ig3-nQYfTIORyTp4v_gMZaInNCHZ9ECdCc/s640/blogger-image--817027412.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqBHvX5_MRszTKU9qycRf3lLUNDGjtVPlbcT6CfKc86Sx6-b0AqeapT3ybmo2uka9ZJRAwyp2mdkjABAexx-3zVwD_a0ch5uEIwkYtEwa-ig3-nQYfTIORyTp4v_gMZaInNCHZ9ECdCc/s640/blogger-image--817027412.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Wrap it in the paper towel and gently press. Let the tofu drain for 15-30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br />
Slice the tofu into 1" x 2" pieces. You can make the pieces larger or smaller, but the bake time will very a bit. I usually get 20-24 pieces out of a one pound block.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Place the tofu on a greased baking sheet. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Alternatively, you can season the tofu with a flavor blend. I use a taco spice blend if I'm using the tofu for Mexican or Tex-Mex type meals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Roast the tofu about 20 minutes (depending on the size of pieces). Check it halfway and give the tofu a toss so that it doesn't get too crispy on one side. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The tofu can be used with so many dishes. In tacos and burritos, in salads, and a favorite way here is in all types of "bowls". Taco or burrito bowls, stir fry bowls, rice bowls, noodle bowls.you get the idea? Hope you try the recipe and enjoy!</div>

I finally typed up the menu. I'm posting this now before the craziness of actually cooking and baking has started. I'm sure there is something I forget. Blogger is giving me issues tonight and not letting me add pictures as I want to, so I'm giving up for now. I know there aren't a ton of links to recipes, but I think most are pretty simple and straightforward. If you are curious about anything on our menu, please let me know. Happy Pesach!</div>

Cake Mix Hamentaschen</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Every year at Purim it seems that I find myself with an abundance of boxed cake mix in my pantry. I'm not entirely sure how they all sneak into there, but it seems like a good a time as any to use them up. Several years ago I found <a href="http://jewishhomeschool.blogspot.com/2011/03/easy-yummy-hamantashen-recipe.html" target="_blank">a recipe from Mommzy</a> for hamentaschen using cake mix and I've been trying variations on the that recipe since then. This year was definitely no different. A couple of years ago I posted about the <a href="http://frugalgourmetmom.blogspot.com/2012/03/cake-mix-confetti-hamantaschen.html" target="_blank">cake mix confetti</a> version. I made that again this year, but changed the recipe a bit. I added a bit of oil to the dough and it seemed to make it much more pliable and less dried out. I also decided to try the same marshmallow filling, but add it before baking rather than after. I'm so glad I did. The dough is much easier to work with this way and the marshmallow filling is super good when it bakes into the center. I hope you try it for yourself!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is the recipe again with the changes.</div>

This year our troop chose the country of South Africa to participate in Girl Scout World Thinking Day. As part of our WTD presentation, we thought we would like to offer a little treat to our "visiting" troops. Crunchies are popular cookie (or biscuit) in South Africa and are reminiscent of a chunchy-style granola bar. There are several recipes out there on the web. I based our recipe mostly on <a href="https://lickyourownbowl.wordpress.com/2007/12/18/the-south-african-cookie/" target="_blank">this recipe</a> from "Lick Your Own Bowl". I adapted the recipe a bit for American ingredients and added a chocolate drizzle on top for an extra finish. Truthfully, they are excellent plain and actually my daughter prefers them that way!<br>

That sentence alone should have been my first clue that this was going to end up being a much bigger project than I anticipated. I thought I could buy some nice valentines-themed fabric and just make a couple dozen for teacher gifts. Not a problem. As I'm scrolling down the <a href="http://sewsara.blogspot.com/2013/04/pom-pom-pens-tutorial.html?m=1" target="_blank">tutorial </a>given by SewSara, my 9yo daughter is peering over my shoulder and says "Ooh, cute!" Second clue. So somehow a couple dozen becomes 5 1/2 dozen to make enough for the teachers and my daughter's classes. Yes. And actually, I'm still working on the last few before Friday, but wanted to share them now. I found this really <a href="http://www.positivelysplendid.com/2013/01/free-valentine-printable.html" target="_blank">sweet valentine printable</a> from Positively Splendid to add to the pens as a gift. And yes, I do think they are pretty cute although I probably wouldn't suggest making more than a couple of dozen at a time :)<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Soccer Ball Sugar Cookies</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made these cookies for LD's last game of the season. His teammates loved them and I thought I'd share the technique since I've used it several times now. Scroll down to the bottom for more examples.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The sugar cookie dough is a wonderful find from <a href="http://thedecoratedcookie.com/2008/11/cookie-dough-and-frosting-recipes/" target="_blank">Sugarlicious</a>. The dough is firm and more like a shortbread dough. It will hold up nicely to cutting shapes and even putting in on a cookie stick if you roll the dough a bit thicker. Usually I bake them slightly less than what is called for in the recipe, but that could just be my oven. Make sure you check on the cookies for doneness ( a bit of golden brown on the edge is usually a good indicator). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You will also need a small batch of royal icing. I make my royal icing with meringue powder just because it's super easy and safe to eat raw. </span></div>
<div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Beat
meringue powder, powdered sugar and water at high speed in a
heavy-duty stand mixer with a whisk attachment until glossy, stiff
peaks form. Tint with food coloring paste to desired color, and beat
until well blended. Transfer to pastry bag fitted with small round
tip (#4) and store with a damp paper towel placed on bottom of a tall
drinking glass.</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last, but not least, I make the fondant topper. I use my Marshmallow fondant. You can check out the recipe I use <a href="http://frugalgourmetmom.blogspot.com/2011/05/marshmallow-fondant.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For this cookie, I used a 3.5 inch round cutter for the cookie and the fondant circle of white. I left most of the fondant white, but dyed a small amount black. I like to use Americolor Super Black. It is always good to try to make the fondant a few days ahead, but especially if you are using very dark of deep colors. The color will deepen if you let it rest for a day so you won't need to add as much color. I cut out pentagon shapes in the black fondant. You may need just the tiniest dab of water on the fondant to attach the black pieces. Try not to use too much or the colors will run and the marshmallow fondant will get too mushy! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I basically tried to follow this image (kinda-sorta).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6_iVT-4wePu4tIV3sIEYkONXyB1xSIWp_89rVExK37wK_ZrhTnitRMiHb_kbvN6R6ujcnM2ClLBkHsmrQtt5MKMXAS2ErtcCyaJCCQOb_1intGgbz1urz_9i5XBSvjSaI0fnqPx-wjI/s1600/Soccer_ball_clip_art-7.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6_iVT-4wePu4tIV3sIEYkONXyB1xSIWp_89rVExK37wK_ZrhTnitRMiHb_kbvN6R6ujcnM2ClLBkHsmrQtt5MKMXAS2ErtcCyaJCCQOb_1intGgbz1urz_9i5XBSvjSaI0fnqPx-wjI/s1600/Soccer_ball_clip_art-7.jpeg" height="309" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used the quilting fondant tool to make the stitching marks on the ball and went over the marks with a bit of food color marking pen. Once the soccer ball design is made in the fondant circle, I attach the whole thing with the royal icing acting as glue. Allow them to sit out while the royal icing dries.</span><br />

I finally finished the second handprint quilt! It only took five years and a new sewing machine. And yes, this is the second one. If you remember back in 2010 (ha!), I made <a href="http://frugalgourmetmom.blogspot.com/2010/03/quilt-is-done.html" target="_blank">this quilt</a> for Miss D's Early Childhood class. I traced and appliquéd each child's handprint and then helped each one embroider their name on the block. I pieced and quilted the blocks together and then put the quilt up for an art auction to raise funds for the school. Miss D loved the quilt and begged us to bid on it. Well, we did but the bidding got too deep for our pockets :). I promised her that I would make another quilt with our family members. As typically happens here, I quickly tried to get going on the next quilt gathering handprints, signatures, adding appliqué and embroidery to each block. I ran into a snag, actually several, when my 40 year old sewing machine up and quit on me. And so the project sat, in a box, for over a year while I figured out what to do. I ended up with a beautiful new machine for my birthday and started working on the quilt again. Unfortunately at this point I had lost that initial drive and energy to finish it and again it sat waiting to be finished. Well fast forward a few years and I found <a href="http://knitnlit.blogspot.com/2013/02/modern-half-square-triangle-quilt-long.html" target="_blank">a new quilt project </a>that has inspired me. The only problem was this unfinished quilt waiting in a box. So I promised myself that I needed to finish this quilt first. And despite the fact that my perfectionism has kept me stuck for all these years I decided that a finished quilt is far better than a perfect quilt! So here you go. Although far from perfect, it is a finished quilt that my family can enjoy- finally!</div>

<br />
<br />
Yom Tov Challah<br />
<br />
2 pkg. yeast, 4½ tsp.<br />
1½ c. warm water<br />
½ c. sugar or honey<br />
6 – 6½ c. bread flour<br />
2 tsp. salt<br />
½ c. oil<br />
3 eggs + 1 for egg wash<br />
<br />
(For Rosh Hashanah – use honey in place of sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla extract)<br />
<br />
In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a dough hook, place the water and sprinkle with the yeast. Mix gently until dissolved. Add the oil, eggs, sugar (vanilla, if using) and about half of the flour. Blend on low until well combined. Add the salt and continue slowly adding flour to the dough until it begins to pull away from the sides and form a ball. Knead the dough in the mixer or by hand for another 5-10 minutes adding any remaining flour, if needed. Place the dough in a large, oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 1 to 2 hours. Alternatively, the dough can be placed in a large container with a cover and placed in the fridge overnight. To form the loaves, divide the dough into 2-3 pieces. Roll the lengths into long ropes (about 18" long). Holding one end, wrap the rope around in a spiral. tucking the end under the loaf. Place loaves on lined baking sheet. Brush with egg and sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds or with a streusel topping*(see below). Allow to rise a second time for about 20 - 30 minutes. Preheat the oven. Bake for 40- 45 minutes at 350˚F. Allow the loaves to cool on a rack. <br />
<br />
If adding raisins, flatten out the lengths of dough before shaping in to ropes, add the raisins and roll back into ropes. Also, chopped apple can be added in the same way. <br />
<br />
*Streusel Topping:<br />
Mix equal parts Sugar, brown sugar, flour, a good sprinkle of cinnamon and just enough oil to make a crumbly topping.<br />
<br />
Makes 2 large loaves. Can make 3 smaller loaves, only bake 35-40 minutes. <br />

Here are some of the details from Miss D's 8th Rainbow Birthday Party. I already described <a href="http://frugalgourmetmom.blogspot.com/2014/08/rainbow-tie-dye-cake.html" target="_blank">the cake</a> in all it's glory in a previous post. So now I want to share a bit more. The bunting for the party was really simple to do with a stack of rainbow colored felt from the craft store. I bought two of each color and then a couple of white as </div>

</div>
well. I cut each 8" x 12" sheet in two and then notched out a triangle on the bottom of each. I cut out the lettering from white felt and just used a little craft glue to attach it. I then used a hole punch at each top corner to make a hole to thread some ribbon and there you go!<br />

On to the food. Of course the rainbow theme needed to continue to the food. I decided to do a rainbow fruit tray in lieu of the skewers. I knew there would be some younger siblings present and I always worry about those sharp sticks in young hands. </div>

We also had some veggies and snack mix. Somewhere along the way it has become tradition to have veggie sushi as well for birthday celebrations. <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/vegetable-sushi-recipe.html" target="_blank"> This recipe</a> is the one I basically follow. I usually do veggie sushi because it's not as intimidating ( for those that haven't yet tried sushi) and it also holds up well on a buffet table. </div>

Meringues with rainbow sprinkles. I love meringues. They're light and sweet and just fun to have at a party. The only issue is the weather. Humid summer birthdays means that they need to be kept in a sealed container until right before the party. Even still, they may get a bit sticky and soft by the end of the party. As a side note: those sticky, soft meringues are perfect with ice cream- trust me :)<br />

Rainbow Jello. Yes, I realize I painstakingly made the cake with all natural dyes and then go and add multi-colored jello to the mix. I know. I really couldn't help myself. There are many recipes for this layered jello around. Basically it involves making a batch of each color and layering it with a lighter version of the color and letting it set up in the fridge. It's not a difficult dessert at all, but it TAKES TIME! I used small (4 oz.) jelly jars and only used a tablespoon or two of each color to layer. You need to wait in between the layers until they are set before adding the next, but it will go a bit faster with each progressive layer as it chills. <a href="http://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/spiked-rainbow-ribbon-salad/22c19080-fcf5-4b96-be13-fb62661b33d9/" target="_blank">This is the recipe </a>I based it on - minus the alcohol of course! </div>

I have <a href="http://frugalgourmetmom.blogspot.com/2014/08/spiderman-basketball-birthday.html" target="_blank">mentioned before</a> how it has become a tradition at each birthday to have these shortbread cookies. I made two versions for this birthday. Number eight ones and a "color your own cookie" variety. The eight cookies were frosted and decorated with sprinkles. I used these for the favor bags. The rectangle cookies were simply frosted with royal icing and allowed to dry firm. I placed some food writer marker next to the plain rectangle cookies so that the children could decorate their own (although I think perhaps the adults had more fun with this activity). <br />

Still going back in time to catch up on posts. This time for Miss D's eighth birthday. It was the last party at our house in Georgia...sigh. It was a great one though. Lots of good food and lots of really wonderful friends! Miss D wanted a rainbow party and that's exactly what we delivered. </div>

The cake: Ok, so rainbow birthday and the immediate thought is the rainbow cake. You know the one. The towering stack of brightly candy colored layers of cake. Been there, done that. Looks cool in pictures and definitely is stunning to cut into, but not always a joy to eat with the artificial colors. I knew I wanted something a bit different, but still along the rainbow theme. I researched online for some natural dye bases to give the cake the rainbow effect. I knew that the colors wouldn't be quite as vibrant as the artificial so I decided to use a layering technique for the batter to give a tie-dye effect. Instead of baking each layer separate, the colored batter gets poured into the pan in succession. As the next color is poured into the pan, it helps spread the color(s) next to them. The key is pouring slow and steady. So for instance, one cake I poured them in the ROYGBV order, and then in the next pan, I poured them in the opposite order VBGYOR to add to the tie-dye effect. I think the pictures below probably explain it better than I can. This cake looks innocent and simple enough on the outside, but it's the inside that is really the "wow" part of the cake. Apart from a small amount of decoration on the outside fondant layer, the cake is all natural color and flavors. Woohoo! <span style="text-align: center;"> </span></div>

And out of the oven and cooling.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Alright, so I started out with a good white cake recipe. I made four batches of it. Each batch I divided into six bowls and colored with about a tablespoon or so of natural dye. One batch was baked in two 8" square pans. The remaining three batches were baked in a large 9" x 12" pan. This is the white cake recipe I used:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<b>White Cake </b> (adapted from The Southern Heritage Cakes Cookbook, Southern Living Books, 1983) </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
1/2 cup shortening</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1 1/4 c. sugar</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
2 cups cake flour</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
1/2 tsp. salt</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
3/4 c. milk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1 tsp. vanilla extract</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
3 egg whites, at room temperature</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
In the bowl of a large mixer, cream shortening with sugar until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Measure out milk and add vanilla extract. Add flour to creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Be sure to begin and finish with the addition of flour. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites gently into the batter.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<b>For the Rainbow Tie dye effect:</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Divide batter between 6 small bowls. To each bowl you will add about 1 tablespoon of natural dye. Fold dye into batter until incorporated. Pour into prepared pan in the order that you wish to see the colors. Begin pouring batter in the center of the pan and slowly add each color in succession. The color you add first will end up on the outside and bottom of the cake, the last color you add will remain toward the center. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes. Cool cakes in the pan 10 minutes before removing to cooling racks.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Natural Dyes: </b>I needed about 1/4 cup total for a quadruple recipe of the white cake. Now, I will confess I really wish at this point I had a juicer on hand to make these dyes, but I didn't and it really was do-able with just a mini-food processor and a strainer. For all of the dyes (except the yellow), I took about a 1/2 cup of raw vegetable/fruit, pureed it in the mini processor and then strained it into a separate bowl. You may need to use a rubber spatula to press the puree a bit and squeeze out the juice. </div>

Red: I used canned beets for this. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Orange: Carrots, or you can buy carrot juice.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Yellow: One egg yolk (for each recipe so, 4 egg yolks total)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Green: Fresh spinach, or buy spinach juice.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Blue: Use fresh or frozen (thawed) blueberries.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Purple: Fresh or frozen (thawed) blackberries.</div>

<br /></div>

I used a cream cheese frosting in between the layers and a vanilla butter cream frosting for the outside of the cake. Why two frostings you ask? Well, this was Georgia, in June, and hot, hot, hot. The butter cream is a bit more stable and able to withstand the heat, but with the faint hint of fruit and vegetable flavors in the cake (not overwhelming though) the cream cheese was a natural balance. Again as with many of my cakes, I used <a href="http://frugalgourmetmom.blogspot.com/2011/05/marshmallow-fondant.html" target="_blank"> marshmallow fondant</a> for the outside. I left it naturally white. I wanted a cloud-like effect. I made a few clouds out of royal icing. I used a bit of extra fondant and had the birthday girl cut out shapes and decorate them with food writers. She was thrilled to say that she helped decorate the cake and I think it made it very sweet. You can see some stars and flowers that she decorated and I attached to the outside layer. </div>

We had a Spiderman-themed Basketball party. The kids watched an exhibition game at the college and then got to play around on the court at half-time. We made little goodie bags with snacks for the game. Afterwards, we took a break to enjoy some cake and watch an old spiderman tv episode on a projector screen. </div>

The Cake: The Bottom layer was 9 x 13 two layer cake with one layer chocolate and one vanilla. vanilla butter cream. The top layer was a 12 inch oval of red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. The whole cake was decorated with <a href="http://frugalgourmetmom.blogspot.com/2011/05/marshmallow-fondant.html" target="_blank">marshmallow fondant</a>. I used a fondant mold to get the "brick" look into the skyline and then hand-cut the buildings. The mask used fondant for the eyes and a black royal icing for the web detail. </div>

I made several batches of fondant and colored them in advance to let the colors deepen. In fact, both the fondant and the royal icing for the cookies needed to be made in advance so that the colors would deepen. I used Americolor Super Red and Super Black. I think they produce the deepest colors using the smallest amount of product. </div>

Here are the cookies. It's a long-standing tradition now ( about five or six years) that I make these shortbread cookies for the kids' birthday. The recipe is very straight forward. I use<a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/shortbread-cookies-recipe.html" target="_blank"> Ina Garten's Shortbread cookie</a>. I usually ice them with royal icing and sometimes use sanding or colored sugar to decorate.</div>

I found <a href="http://www.thecountrychiccottage.net/2013/04/teacher-appreciation-gift-ideas-in.html#more" target="_blank">these cute tags</a> (via pinterest) with a Mason jar theme. I bought a case of the new Perfection green pint jars and added the drinking straw/lid and used the rings that came with the jars. I added in a few single serve packs of lemonade and iced tea mix into the jars. Along with the drink container, I made a batch of Lemon Shortbread cookies like<a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/daisy-shortbread-cookies-recipe.html" target="_blank"> these</a>. I added some lemon extract and zest to the shortbread dough and added lemon juice to the icing glaze. Sweet, tart and buttery all at the same time..yum!<br />

Roll out the dough to a 1/4" thickness. Cut using 1 1/2" round cutter. Pinch the rounds to form a triangular shape. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Immediately after removing from the oven, use the end of a wooden spoon to make an indentation in the center of the cookie. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. </span></span><br />

Weekend was pretty busy. We had a Girl Scout event yesterday. Our troop did a presentation on Brazil and we made <a href="http://frugalgourmetmom.blogspot.com/2014/02/brigadeiros-brazil-gs-world-thinking-dy.html" target="_blank">brigadeiros</a>. It all went really well and the girls had a blast!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Menu:<br />
<br />
Monday: Meatless <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/bobbys-goulash-recipe.html" target="_blank">Goulash</a> - Substitute a bag of Boca crumbles for the ground meat makes the recipe super quick and easy for Monday. I'll add some veggies on the side.<br />
<br />
Tuesday: Grilled chicken, salad, Asian sesame dressing, brown rice<br />
<br />
Wednesday: Pasta night<br />
<br />
Thursday: Back to back after school events today, so I plan on packing a picnic. Calzones, crudite<br />
<br />
