+====== Modified Pumpkin Brownie Recipe ======
+**Ingredients:**
+  * 1 box of Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix
+  * 1/2 cup almond flour (48 grams)
+  * 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
+  * 2 large eggs (use 1 if the batter seems too wet)
+  * 1/4 cup water or milk (adjust if batter is too thick or dry)
+  * 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (optional)
+  * 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (optional, for additional moisture)
+  * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
+**Instructions:**
+  - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
+  - In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin bread mix and almond flour. Stir well to ensure the almond flour is evenly distributed.
+  - Add the vegetable oil or melted butter, eggs, and water or milk to the dry ingredients. If using, also add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. The batter should be thick and somewhat sticky; adjust with more water/milk or almond flour as needed.
+  - Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
+  - Pour the batter into the prepared 9x9-inch pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
+  - Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
+Baking for 25 minutes, result is cake-like.  Trying 22 minutes baking.
+==== Modifications for a Brownie-Like Texture ====
+To make the Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix yield a more brownie-like result, rather than a cake-like texture, adjust the ingredients as follows:
+  * **Reduce Eggs**: Use **1 egg instead of 2**. Eggs add structure and lift, so reducing them will make the final product denser.
+  * **Add Fat**: Increase the oil slightly. Use **½ cup + 2 tablespoons** of oil instead of the standard ½ cup. This will create a fudgier texture.
+  * **Add Milk or Cream**: Add **2–3 tablespoons of milk, cream, non-dairy milk, or Greek yogurt (preferably plain full fat)** to the batter for extra moisture.
+  * **Reduce Baking Time Slightly**: Bake at the same temperature, but check for doneness **5–10 minutes earlier** than the recipe suggests. A fudgy result will still be slightly moist in the center when done.
+  * **Optional: Add Chocolate Flavor**: Mix in **2 tablespoons of cocoa powder** to enhance the chocolatey flavor and complement the pumpkin.
+==== Chocolate Chip Additions ====
+  * Add **¾ to 1 cup of chocolate chips** (semi-sweet or dark chocolate work best). Fold them into the batter at the end to ensure even distribution.
+  * For extra decadence, sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on top before baking.
+==== Additional Tips ====
+  * Swirl in **½ cup of cream cheese** or **nut butter** (like almond or peanut butter) for added richness.
+  * For more chewiness, add **1–2 tablespoons of corn syrup or honey** to the batter.
+These adjustments will give you a moist, dense, and brownie-like result that pairs beautifully with the pumpkin flavor and chocolate chips! Let me know how it turns out!
+====== Homemade Satay Sauce Recipe ======
+**Makes about 1 cup**
+I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but satay sauce is really good. Recipe from ChatGPT.
+=== Ingredients: ===
+  * **½ cup** creamy peanut butter (unsweetened, natural is best)
+  * **½ cup** coconut milk
+  * **1 tbsp** soy sauce
+  * **1 tbsp** brown sugar or palm sugar
+  * **1 tbsp** lime juice
+  * **1 tsp** red curry paste (or ½ tsp chili flakes for spice)
+  * **1 tsp** grated ginger
+  * **1 clove** garlic, minced
+  * **½ tsp** fish sauce (optional, adds depth)
+  * **¼ tsp** turmeric powder (for color and mild flavor)
+  * **¼ cup** water (adjust for consistency)
+=== Instructions: ===
+  - **Heat a small saucepan** over medium-low heat.
+  - Add **garlic and ginger**, cooking for **30 seconds** until fragrant.
+  - Stir in **peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, curry paste, fish sauce, and turmeric**.
+  - Cook, stirring, until the sauce **thickens** (about 3-5 minutes). If it gets too thick, add **a little water** until it reaches your desired consistency.
+  - Taste and adjust: add **more sugar** for sweetness, **more lime juice** for tanginess, or **chili flakes** for heat.
+  - Remove from heat and serve warm as a **dipping sauce** or drizzle over grilled meats, noodles, or rice.
+=== Storage: ===
+  * Store in an **airtight container** in the fridge for up to **1 week**.
+  * Reheat with **a splash of water** if it thickens too much.
