I am on an apple cider kick. I thought we had our fill of apple cider until g-pa and g-ma Lucas gifted us a gallon. Because I don't feel that sitting down with a tall glass of cider is the healthiest of things to do I began thinking of ways I could use it in baking.
First up THIS recipe. Apple cider caramels. After filling our apartment (and probably those sharing vents with us) with tear-wrenching smoke during the first attempt to reduce 2 cups of cider to 1/3 cup, I finally got things right. Well mostly right. Apparently a meat thermometer isn't the best way to measure the temperature of your caramel. It turned out a bit soft. But I think I closer than I would have, had I stuck to my first plan of using our digital human thermometer. It simply assured me that my caramel was "HOT". Lesson learned. The verdict? The caramels are delicious but didn't pack quite the cider punch I was hoping for.
On to the next recipe. When I have a long day at school/clinic I search for recipes, find the most delicious one I can, and tell myself that when I get home I can make it! Most of the time when I get home I am too tired to cook but the thought of cooking gets me through the day. It was on one of those days that I began fixating on Apple Cider Muffins. I hadn't found a recipe that I liked yet but I knew I wanted to make some.
Fast forward a few days and Chris has asked me for about the 5th time when I am going to make the cider muffins. We took ANOTHER trip to a cider mill (our 5th) and picked up more cider. After searching through many many recipes I have settled on this one, an amalgamation of many :)
Spiced Apple Cider Muffins
Yields approx. 14 normal sized muffins
Wet:
1/2 c. applesauce
1 Tbs oil
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 c. of apple cider reduced to 1/4 c.
1 apple diced
Dry:
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbs (ish) cinnamon
dash nutmeg
dash allspice
1. Reduce your apple cider. Pour one cup apple cider into a small pan and bring it to a boil. Carefully boil down to 1/4 c. Your house will smell delicious as long as you keep a close eye toward the end and don't turn your apple cider reduction into carbon like I did the first time I tried reducing apple cider! Set aside your 1/4 c of cider reduction to cool.
2. Start your oven warming up to 400 degrees. Mix your dry ingredients.
3. Mix your wet ingredients.
4. Mix your two mixtures together! You don't want them to get over mixed so don't get carried away. You want to mix them until they are just combined. NOT until they are smooth.
5. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean. I wish I had paid closer attention... Maybe 15-17 minutes.
If you want you could brush with melted butter and roll the tops in cinnamon and sugar but I was trying to keep some semblance of healthy. Next time I will add flax to up the fiber content. Enjoy!

The Mother of All Chocolate Cakes
Tonight my mom and I hosted a girls night during the Priesthood session of General Conference . We had three of our favorite people over for soup, salads, pie crust tasting, and cake. More on the cake to follow. It was so nice to get together with good friends, good food, and good conversation. I am grateful for the Relief Society that has taught me how to form and value friendships with those who are at different points in their lives than I am. We laughed, ate, told stories, ate, made pie crust, and ate some more. A wonderful close to a wonderful first day of conference!
On to the cake!
A few weeks ago I tried THIS cake. It was absolutely delicious but I don't think that the 3 cubes of butter is worth it for the filling. It was also much more time consuming to make than I have time for! While the cake is VERY delicious, I found myself longing for something more. Enter THIS cake. This chocolate cake has been in our rotation for the past year and is very impressive. Chris and I sometimes make the chocolate whip cream andeat it straight out of the bowl with our fingers dip strawberries in it. While the chocolate whip cream is no more healthy than the 3 cubes of butter filling, I feel the calories are totally worth it. Unfortunately this recipe uses a boxed cake recipe which limits the quality of the cake itself. Even the best boxed cake can't beat a good homemade version.
I have created what I think is THE perfect chocolate cake. I have taken components from the two different cakes and combined them to create cake that is truly droolworthy; cake that makes me swoon; cake that makes my husband love me infinitely more than before (if that were possible :)).
This cake has a foundation of moist rich chocolatey cake, layered with a chocolate whipped cream, surrounded by chocolate buttercream frosting, and topped with toffee bits & sea salt. Can you tell we really like chocolate in this house? Judgement is still out on buttercream vs. ganache but I will have to wait for another special occasion to have an excuse to compile this many calories in one place again before we can do the comparison.
Here's the recipe! You have most everything in your pantry already.

Here's the recipe! You have most everything in your pantry already.
You can thank Annie of AnniesEats for the cake and frosting inspiration in this recipe!
For the cake:
2¼ cups all-purpose
flour
2¼ cups sugar
1 cup plus 2
tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2¼ tsp. baking soda
1½ tsp. baking
powder
1½ tsp. salt
1/3 cup vegetable
oil
1 cup plus 2 tbsp.
buttermilk
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. Cocoa water (mix 2T cocoa with 1c. + 2T water)
3 large eggs
1 tbsp. vanilla
extract
To make the cake,
preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Grease and flour the edges of 3 8-inch baking
pans, shaking out the excess. Line the bottoms with rounds of parchment
paper. If you don't have 3 pans use 2 and plan to cut your cakes into 4 layers. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa
powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed to blend.
Add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, cocoa water, eggs, and vanilla to the bowl
and mix on low speed until well blended and completely incorporated.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake 20-25
minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let
the cakes cool in the pans about 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and
allow to cool completely. Remove the parchment paper.
For the Chocolate Whipped Cream:
3 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
1/3-1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder (more like a 1/2 if you like it dark!)
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Stir all your ingredients together then whip till thick, stiff, and creamy! (approx. 3 minutes)
For the buttercream:
12 oz. chocolate
¼ cup cocoa powder
¼ cup very hot water
1 cup butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
For the buttercream:
12 oz. chocolate
¼ cup cocoa powder
¼ cup very hot water
1 cup butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
In a heat safe bowl, melt your chocolate (stirring frequently) until it is completely melted
and smooth. Set aside and let cool to room temperature. In a small
bowl, combine the cocoa powder and water and stir until smooth. Combine the butter, confectioners’ sugar and
salt. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5
minutes. With the mixer on low speed, gradually blend in the melted and
cooled chocolate until well incorporated. Blend in the cocoa
powder-water mixture until smooth. Smear it all over your face and lick off taste- enjoy!
To assemble your cakes, level layers if needed. Place hearty amounts of the chocolate whipped cream between each layer. Spread a thick layer of the buttercream on top and around the sides until it's pretty and holding as much chocolate as possible:) Top liberally with heath bits and give the edges a light sprinkle with sea salt.
We are counting down the days until we can eat this cake again! Luckily, I saved half of my last piece for secret eatings tomorrow. Which is a good thing because I have a paper to start, write, finish, edit, turn-in tomorrow before noon :) Cake for breakfast? I think so...

Fancy Orzo Bake
I think what motivated me the most to start blogging again were all the delicious recipes that we try around here. I love cooking and usually end up making 1-2 new dishes a week. Chris is fantastic at trying and critiquing food. Here is our system.
1. When I see a recipe I like I star it in my google reader.
2. When it comes time to make dinner I scroll through my hundreds of starred items and pick one that I happen to have all the ingredients on hand for :)
3. I don one of my many super cute aprons and make a mess in my miniscule kitchen. Seriously. Think of the spot in your kitchen next to your sink. You know that square of counter that's barely big enough for your cooling rack? That's the size of my BIG section of counter.
4. After eating we talk about what we liked or didn't like about the meal. We decide if we would make it again and if we would, what changes we would make.
5. If the recipe is delicious enough to make again it goes in a special recipe file in my OneNote with all our changes included to the side.
This system works fantastically for me. When I have to make dinner for people I go straight to my OneNote for our tried and true recipes.
This latest recipe is being added to OneNote today. I starred the recipe thinking this is WAAAY too fancy for us. We are nowhere near that refined! But it looked yummy so it got a star. I was feeling creative last night and so into my closet, i mean, kitchen I went! The mess making was minimal. With the exception of the spinach I usually have everything in my fridge. Dinner came together in a half hour.
The original recipe calls for olive oil and Parmesan as a topping but if I wanted Chris to eat dinner I knew I had to tamper with that a bit. I solved the problem by making a light cream sauce after the veggies were cooked and before adding the spinach.
Recipe adapted from How Sweet Eats
Fancy Orzo Bake
serves 4+
1 cup orzo pasta
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped (original recipe called for green (bleck!) You can use green if you want! )
1 cup of sliced mushrooms
1 T butter
1 T flour
1 c milk ( I used 1%)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
3-4 cups of raw spinach (Chris LOVES spinach so I increased the original 2c.)
1 15-ounce can of white beans, drained and rinsed (I used great northern, cannellini would work too!)
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (Not the stuff in a can unless you are desperate!)
1/2 c mozzarella cheese
fresh herbs for garnish, such as cilantro, parsley and basil ( I didn't have fresh so I went with dried basil)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Prepare your pasta according to the box instructions. Decrease cooking time by 1-2 minutes.
While pasta is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add onions and peppers and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add in mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes more, tossing occasionally.
At this point, push your veggies to the side of the pan and add your butter to the naked part of the pan. Make a roux. Melt butter- stir in flour- let cook for a min-whisk in milk. Your veggies will work themselves into the mix as your stir and whisk. Don't worry about them :)
Add in garlic and spinach, and stir until spinach wilts, then turn heat down to low. Add in white beans and your drained mostly cooked pasta. Off the heat and add half your Parmesan. Stir it all up!
If your skillet is oven-safe top with the remaining cheeses and pop it into your oven and let it sit until things are toasty :)
If your skillet is NOT oven safe, spray a baking dish and transfer your pasta mixture. THEN top with cheeses and put in the oven.
Garnish with basil.
You can add chicken if you would like! Rotisserie chicken would be fantastic in this!

New Henne Happenings
Hello. Long time no talk. Sorry about that. I was busy. A FEW things have happened since we last chatted. Ready for a list? I love lists.
1. 13 months ago I did this little thing called GETTING MARRIED. It was wonderful, fantastic, stressful, delicious, fun, and beautiful. Basically everything I ever dreamed of. Minus the stress :) Hopefully I will get around to blogging about that in the future! Here are a few pictures in the meantime.
2. I now have a new last name (Henne) and this blog MAY have a new part time author. Meet my hubby Chris!
3. We moved into our little apartment in the ghettos of Ypsilanti. Our first few weeks were very interesting. I woke up with every siren, flash of light, or thump. Now, after a year in our apartment, I sleep through most of the unsettling noises :)
4. Chris began his job as a Software Developer in Ann Arbor. He loves his job. He works with fantastic people and his company is flexible enough to let him work from home (or my parents home!) whenever he wants. This means we get to spend long weekends with our families who live an hour away.
5. I started my Speech Language Graduate Program! I am 1 year into the program and will graduate in T-minus 11 months! I am in my last clinical semester with two medial internships ahead of me. I have decided not to do a school internship with the hopes of finding something I love in another area of SLP. Things in my new program are great and my classes are easy for the most part.
6. Chris and I became Temple workers at the Detroit Temple. We work with my parents and it has been such a fulfilling experience for both of us! Our marriage is blessed because of our time spent in the temple. We always leave happy!
7. No animals or children yet but I am anxious to get kitties once we move into a place that won't charge an extra $1500 a year per pet. I am also thinking about fostering Greyhounds. The children will have to wait until I am not spending every minute of my day in the speech clinic!

This Is What Happens When You Decide to Get Married!
Life explodes! The past two months have been the busiest months of my life! Here's a quick update on whats been going on :
1. Chris was able to make it out to Utah for a week-long visit and some much needed face time :) He got to see where I lived and meet a whole bunch of family up in Idaho. It was such a wonderful trip and I loved having him see what my BYU life was like. Being engaged long distance was pretty much the least favorite part of my life last semester. I love being home and close to Chris now!
2. Four trips up to Idaho filled with photo shoots, wedding dress surprises, bridal shower, wedding shopping, and lots of driving!
3. I graduated! BYU and I had to say farewell. The past four years have been such wonderful years and I will miss being in Provo. But, it is certainly time to move on. I walked across the stage and picked up my empty diploma envelope and felt a slight sense of accomplishment. I'm sure it will kick in eventually :)
4. I moved out of my apartment in three hours from start to finish and drove across the country with my parents in a '93 Park Avenue pulling a U-Haul. That was exciting. We made it with only a few stops to see to the car. Nothing big though... just the breaks going out and the car smoking is all :) We made it though! Something tells me I will not be driving that far with that car ever again.
5. I got to spend a week hanging out with Chris before he started his job in Ann Arbor, MI. It is about an hour commute WITHOUT traffic so we see each other only in the evenings now. During our week before work we went apartment shopping, played at the hands-on kids museum in Ann Arbor, went mall shopping, ate at our favorite restaurants, and started reading together. It was so nice to have that time with him and we are so excited to live in Ann Arbor in the fall!
6. Mom and I have been wedding shopping like crazy the past week. We are having a large sit down reception here in MI and Mom and I are going to be doing all the decorations so we are keeping quite busy with that! Here is the inspiration picture for the tables- only replace the green with Tiffany blue. Oh, and all the flowers will be white. It should turn out pretty! 
7. I found out last night that I have been accepted into the Graduate School Program for Speech Pathology at Eastern Michigan University! I started the grad school process last summer as I studied for the GRE. I took the GRE in November and had my applications in by February. I then spent a whole month calling schools to make sure they had my paperwork in order (most of them didn't). Then after being wait listed by two schools and rejected by another Eastern informed me LAST NIGHT (its May already, a little late for acceptance letters) that they had accepted me to their program! Eastern is located about 15 minutes from where Chris's new job is so it really is such a blessing that I was able to get in. Now we can be in the same city and both get to do what we were hoping to do with our lives! And we get to be married.... that's nice too :)

Thoughts on My Current State in Life
I should probably break the silence and share something with you all....
A little while back
Last summer to be exact
I met a boy named Chris
Eventually we did kiss.
We talked all summer and semester long
At Valentines he sang me a song
We have become rather close
Of his character I love to boast.
At Christmas we became a big deal
Yes this is happening for real
All doubt and fear have been buried
WE ARE GOING TO BE MARRIED!
The big day is August seven
We will be sealed on earth and in heaven
We sure are excited
And our parents are delighted.

Today
Today I am sitting in the computer lab. The soft pitterpattering of keyboards all around me. It's comforting really, to know that there are atleast that many fingers feverishly typing. I check out pictures on facebook. Next next nextnextnextnext. Good wedding. Click Next next nextnextnext.... I drool over cooking blogs and committ myself to making Pomegranite Cheesecake for Christmas Day.
Its snowing outside. In a few hours I will have to scrape my car off again so I can drive. Third time today. The guy who was sitting here before me must have been awfully smelly. Or maybe its the guy next to me...Oh good. He's married. Someone loves him. Even if it could possibly end up that he is the one being smelly around here. Hmm... he's discussing life goals with his mother..... Moving on. I have a huge paper due Wednesday and grad school applications galore to get done. Thursday is the last day of school and finals start Monday. I just rocked a quiz.
But really, the only thing on my mind is going home for Christmas in 10 days!!!! Can I just hit fast forward??
