Apologies for the long absence. It's been a busy few weeks, so it's been hard to post. Plus, I've been so tired after work that I was uninspired to cook for the past couple of weeks. So to make up for it, here's a mega post of random stuff I've made and/or eaten in the past few days...
We had a French-inspired Thursday night dinner a couple of weeks ago. I made some "French" mac & cheese that included fontina and goat cheese, grilled onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives. I forgot to take pictures of said pasta because we were hongry and gobbled it all up. But I made the same dish last week, with some roasted rosemary chicken.
Back to French Thursday night dinner, we made some creme brulee for dessert. I did manage to get a picture of that. It was delicious, but I highly recommend following the directions of using superfine sugar. I used regular sugar by accident and it took A LOT of sugar and a lot flame to get the top crispy brown.
Another delicious dessert treat we had -- these little heart-shaped lavender shortbread cookies from Whole Foods. Butter+Lavender=Amazing!
For dinner tonight, I took a break from the kitchen...because -- wait for it -- my dear husband cooked a delicious meal for us! He picked the dish -- spaghetti with sauteed turkey sausage, onions, and peppers -- and did an excellent job. Yum!
And now, good night!
all the pasta looks really good.
