It’s been such a productive weekend!
Mom came over for help with her weekly meal plan. We spent 9 hours together. Two hours of which were spent on shopping for groceries at multiple locations because we needed some Asian specialty foods…thankfully, I live conveniently near a HUGE Vietnamese fish market/grocery center.
Saturday was fantastic.
We got practically free skinny caramel macchiatos [a FAVE] from @TomThumb, since it’s my birthday month (I <3 them!) and we cooked side by side while watching Pitch Perfect. What did we make?
Let me show you, but be sure to have a hanky near – you may unattractively drool all over yourself. At worst, you may faint from all the nummy goodies overload.
Brace yourself!
Mom’s recipe will be up here soon! I promise. Her meatloaf was delish!
We also made Red Curry (sans peppers, because my mama loathes them. Since she was going to pick them out anyhow, I opted to leave them out). I’ll have to make some more for lunch this week, because it was completely devoured – along with the Black Rice [a.k.a. – Forbidden Rice]. Sadly, it was completely gobbled before I had a chance to take a picture. Later this week, for sure!
Well, we also made three different pasta bakes. Two with homemade alfredo sauce [because, why buy bottles when you can make tons of it for less than $5?]…the other with vodka sauce and tomato-ey goodness.
Sunday’s treats were scrumptious too!
I woke up with a hankering for Eggs Oscar and & mimosas.
The bummer? No OJ. The boys guzzled it. [downside to living with three boys – it’s hard to keep the fridge stocked.]
We had crab, cream, eggs – the werks for my required dish. [Oh, I nixed the asparagus. I <3 me some vegg…but asparagus for breakfast? Yeah, that’s not my scene.]
I learned how to poach an egg about 2 minutes before I started cooking. [Inner “WOO” for getting it right on the first try.]
Succulent crab and hand-whipped Hollandaise
Now for the middle [I’m damn-near amazed that I restrained myself enough to take this picture]. The second I snapped it, my phone was replaced by the fork. snarf, snarf, snarf…oh, remember to breathe.
Last but not least…desserts!
Because how could my kitchenfest be complete otherwise, right?
Let me just say…I made 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies. I’m sure you’ve seen a chocolate chip cookie. If not…email me at cerebellumchef@gmail.com and I will personally email you a picture of my chocolate chip cookies. their awesomness cannot be captured in print. – at least not with my iPhone. Sorry, bud.
Now, the Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Banana bread is quite photogenic.
Don’t believe me?
Check this out!
[I shant add more…the picture is enough]
As Joey from Friends says – “I’m sorry, I’m not even sorry!”
I totes know that sharing these nom nom nom treats is kind of unfair (ya know…because you didn’t get to snarf them down) – but I’m hoping you’re now inspired to conquer your kitchen!
Go on!
Make something yummy![Then send me the recipe, because I want to try it too!]
