This is my 3rd Crazy Cooking Challenge and this month, we're making Spaghetti with Red Sauce. I chose The Cooking Photographer's slow cooker recipe and loved it! The combination of beef and sausage was awesome and simmering the sauce all day makes it so flavorful! I love making slow cooker recipes on Sundays cuz I just put all the ingredients in and run my errands while dinner is being made. The apartment also smelled amazing when I came home, which was definitely a great welcome!
I cracked up when I saw this recipe for cuz I definitely get an image of a giant sausage in a bun when I think of Schnitzel thanks to LOTS of trips to Wienerschnitzel as a kid. This, however, was MUCH different and MUCH better too! A thin tender pork cutlet dredged in Panko and browned to perfection with a creamy dill sauce drizzled on top! Of course, I had to add my special touch of a fried egg on top cuz, well, everything's better with a fried egg on top!
We took a yummy trip to Jamaica with this Pork and Mango Stir-Fry served over Coconut Rice. If you've never made Coconut Rice before, you NEED to give it a try! All you have to do is substitute half of the water with Unsweetened Coconut Milk and add a little bit more water is your Coconut Milk is super thick. It makes SUCH a difference and the rice becomes so creamy and delicious! Now back to the pork. The sweetness of the mango paired so well with the spicy Jerk Seasoning! A VERY yummy dinner MON!
I mean, who doesn't love Mini things right? Mini Quiches, Mini Cakes and of course, Mini Muffins! When I saw these PB Mini Muffins with Mini Chocolate Chips, I knew I had to make them! I used my Mini Flower Bundt Pan and they were SO incredibly cute! Almost too cute to eat...ALMOST!
I've always kept Giada's Cannelloni recipe cuz of the yummy but super easy Bechamel Sauce. It's just a fancy name for White Sauce and also known as the "Mother Sauce of French Cuisine". Tonight, I stuffed my Cannelloni shells with a mixture of bay shrimp, Ricotta, Parmesan and Italian seasoning. VERY yummy and VERY comforting! If you wanna know how to cook French cuisine, there are online cooking schools that offer culinary classes.
If you know me, you know I LOVE Popchips! In fact, I wouldn't be totally exaggerating if I said that I practically live off of them! I switch off between the BBQ, Cheddar, Sour Cream and Parmesan Garlic flavors and was SO excited when I spotted a new one, Sweet Potato! They taste a bit like Sweet Potato Fries, but of course, a lot better for you. I also tried the other new flavors, Chil Lime and Jalapeno but wasn't a big fan of either. Oh well, one great new find is good enough for me!
