Tonight I very excitedly used a recipe in my new Food Network magazine to make Thai Red Curry Mahi Mahi Salad.

Quite a name, right?  It was quite a recipe.  I think it actually would have turned out well, except I’m scared of my broiler and so I couldn’t follow the directions.  I have a broiler, [...]

Mac and Cheese

Sorry, terrible picture.  I’d already started scooping Chris’s portion out, and I was all crooked or something.  I wasn’t even drinking.  Odd.
Anyway, I used Ellie Krieger’s recipe as inspiration here, but I made a bunch of changes to make use of what we had and to up the cheese factor because, well, we are cheese [...]

We had leftover pizza dough in the freezer from the calzones, so I made us each a little mini pizza tonight.  Chris just had mozzarella, spinach and sauce on his, but I got a little carried away and added goat cheese, onions and mushrooms to mine instead of the sauce:

The flash on my camera really [...]

Enchiladas!

As promised…

I know, the picture is terrible.  I meant to get batteries today while I was out and I forgot.  I have come to realize that the man at the bodega on my block was selling me Duracell knock offs, which explained why they only lasted approximately three hours.
Anyway, enchiladas:
1/2 lb shrimp
4 – 5 mushrooms
1/4 [...]

I am including lunch today as an extra special bonus.  Get excited.

It’s a salad.  But not just any salad.  No.  This is a pear and goat cheese salad.  The pear was a little iffy – borderline rotten, I’ll admit – but this still tasted good because goat cheese tastes good and I would eat it [...]

I don’t understand tofu.  I try and I try and I try, but I just can’t get it right.
Tonight, I tried the freezer method, which I thought was finally going to be the answer to all of my tofu questions.  You drain it, freeze it, defrost it, then squeeze the water out again.
It was a [...]

Alright.  I slacked off a little last night and today with the photographs.  I had a bunch of errands to run this morning and then I had to help my friend move and between these two things, I ate:

Leftovers from Thursday for lunch, to which I added lettuce and salsa to make a little taco [...]

Me, Me, Me

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of [...]

Success!

The food processor owed me one after last night, and the pesto turned out great. Not that pesto is hard or anything, but whatever. Let’s not forget that I’m an amateur processor.
I remembered that Rachael Ray has a recipe for pesto where she replaces some of the olive oil with chicken stock, but [...]

Getting my greens

Alright, back in action. Sorry for the little hiatus. You didn’t miss much though. Mesa Grill was AMAZING and I would like Chris to take me there every weekend, please. Unfortunately, I did not come out of the meal with a deal for my own cooking show, but there’s always next [...]
