Last week I was able to spend 4 days cooking, and trying new dishes. Everything was fun and yummy! It was such a treat to cook so much after being gone on vacation. I love trying new things!
First up was this amazing Fig/Asparagus/Pancetta pizza my friend Elaine invented. It was to die for! Perfect balace of sweet (figs, cranberries, etc..), and salty (pancetta). I LOVE gourmet pizzas. There are so many combos you can come up with. Here is a link to the
recipe.
Yum!
Next up were these simple yet yummy Chinese noodles. They had a very mild flavor so Matthew enjoyed them. Lot's of veggies too, which I like! Here is a link to the
recipe.
It took a bit of hunting, but I did find the "Chinese Egg Noodles", called for in the recipe...
Mmmmm....
Matthew going for it...
On Father's Day, I made a beautiful and yummy tomato/mozzarella platter. I have used this recipe for several years, and it never dissapoints. I love the addition of roasted peppers, and the garlicy/herb dressing you drizzle over the top. Here is the link to the
recipe.
Drooling...
The last thing I made was these yummy fish taco's. Sorry, no recipe, I just kind of added things that sounded good. I used fresh tilapia filets, and fried them in a beer batter. Made a cucumber/cream sauce, pico de gallo, and added shredded cabbage and sliced avacados. All on a lightly fried corn tortilla. They were really good, but don't know when I'll make them again. A lot of work for just me in the house who likes fish...
