BBB12: Potstickers (鍋貼)

Not technically part of the Blendtec "Fresh Blends" Cookbook, these were made in the Blendtec.  And they were very tasty, especially dipped in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hot sauce.  Rating: 7

BBB11: Curry butternut squash soup


Do not attempt this at home.  100% creativity, 0% good-flavor-combination.  I tried to improve on the butternut squash recipe (BBB3).  Epic fail.  Rating: 2


BBB10: Breakfast sausages and lemon curd pancakes

Breakfast sausages: With extra sage and thyme, this is a keeper.  Next time, add fennel.  Rating: 7.5




Lemon curd pancakes: A bit dry and puffy, but that extra zing of lemon is worth the effort of pressing a button on a blender.  Rating: 6.5


BBB9: Baba ganoush

Delightful, smooth, and creamy.  It's a good way to consume eggplant.  Rating: 7

BBB8: Peanut butter brownies

Warning: This had two full sticks of butter in it and still came out dry like a dog's treat.  Even with chocolate chips on top, it's more like biscotti than brownie.  Rating: 4





BBB7: Zucchini pineapple bread


I was suspicious of this one at first glance, but I am now a believer.  I substituted brown sugar for sucanat.  The flavor is a little muted, but it's moist and healthy.  Who knew bread could be made in a blender?  Rating: 6.5

BBB6: Popeye's (spinach) ice cream

Spinach ice cream is touted as the Blendtec "Fresh Blends" #1 recipe.  I like it.  But, it's still spinach.  Rating: 7
