Hello everyone-
I’m at my computer with my Ry-guy doing homework next to me enjoying his goldfish with chopsticks. So cute. He’s really good at it! He’s a true foodie in training. I couldn’t be happier.
I have been cold all day. I just put the biggest pot in the house on the stove with three turkey breast carcasses from my freezer, celery, onion and carrot. Soups on! Fortunately my vegetable drawer had soup essentials. Since cooking in my awesome commercial kitchen I know more of what I have on hand there than at home. Last night I had to scrounge around for a fresh garlic clove!
I was out most of the day gathering delicious ingredients for the appetizers I’ll be preparing for 3 parties over the weekend. I’m using three of my favorite cheeses, boursin, gruyere, and blue cheese. Here’s what I’ll be making:
1) Bacon wrapped dates
2) Bacon wrapped shrimp with chipotle dipping sauce
3) Smoked ham & gruyere with dijon mustard in puff pastry (Ina Garten)
4) Zucchini puffs with blue cheese
5) Bread sticks wrapped with prosciutto, boursin and baby arugula.
Dessert? Of course! Mini key lime tarts. If I have time, I think I’ll make tiramisu. It’s out of the March 2013 Cooking Light Magazine. Might have to go a little heavier on the Kahlua than they recommend:-)
I’m ready for the weekend!
Have a great evening~
Angie
