Because I don’t have a sweet tooth, I decided for my boobie bake off entry I would enter a shrimp pasta bake. My original idea was that I would bake shrimp with sundried tomato pasta. Well, I couldn’t find sundried tomato pasta, I could find it as part of a trio, but not by itself, [...]

Weekend Cooking

I did quite a bit of cooking this weekend. I have already posted about my Boobie Bake-off entry. We are still enjoying the fruits of my labor on that one!
I also tried some other recipes this weekend.
I had a pork loin in the freezer, so I decided to defrost it and find something interesting to [...]

This one?

Here is my entry into the Boobie Bake-Off!!! It is a Raspberry Sweet Roll. I used a plain white bread dough recipe, then rolled it out into a rectangle, slathered it with seedless raspberry preserves, sprinkled on some sugar, rolled it up and cut it into slices. I put [...]

I am a horrible baker. I was bad when I lived at sea level. Now I really suck, living 7,500 miles above sea level.
That’s why, when I discover a great short cut baking recipe, I’m all for it.
I found one of these wonderful little short cuts watching Paula Deen’s show a few weeks ago. I know- [...]

Love in a pot on the stove…
Originally uploaded by All Things Mimi
My appetite is slowly but surely returning after my little foray into digestive hell.
It has been cold here today (we had our first snow flurry during recess), so I decided to make one of the most off the chain comfort foods I know…..risotto.
This is [...]
Enough with the crab thing….

That SUCKS. I may be in pain and unable to eat anything but saltines, but I’d kill someone right now for blue crabs. Seafood is a myth in Colorado. We hear about it all the time, but we never get to see it. When I come home in December I want seafood three meals a [...]
Crab Cakes win

So with the dozen crabs I cleaned this morning I had enough meat to make four crab cakes and I have some left over and am thinking about crab quesadillas for the next bit of crab left over.
There are about a million recipes for crab cakes on the internet, but I will add my meager [...]
Oh yeah! Crab!

My neighbor came over today bearing gifts; a bunch of blue crab (sorry Mimi); so not only do I have some picking to do, I will be contemplating crab recipes for tomorrow. You gotta love good neighbors!
So many options; stew, crab-cakes, gratin, eew – can’t wait to play around with these puppies!
Chili – finally!!!

It has finally cooled enough to have the first pot of chili of the season….it seems a long time coming and truthfully, I am pushing it a little bit, but I have been craving chili for weeks now. To make it even better, I used my hand-me-down cast iron dutch oven, given to me by [...]
Endorsement

Feeling tired and lazy from the week and not having any groceries in the house, I went to the supermarket to get something to eat. Because I hadn’t seen it before and thought – okay this is a trusted product, I gave the Kashi frozen pizza a try. It was the Mediteranian pizza and was [...]
