lasagna

I made lasagna on Sunday and forgot to take a picture, but this is a picture from the website I use to find recipes. Anyways, it was so easy to make and it was soooo delicious! If you want to try go to allrecipes.com and look up bob's awesome lasagna. Other successes in the kitchen this week have been: french baguette, cinnamon rolls (a favorite in our house), and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

Clay's cookin'

Unfortunately I didn't take pics of the tacos, probably because they
were so good. Jenna's the expert. She toasted the shells in the oven,
which I would highly recommend to any other taco makers.

ribs

I made ribs last Sunday for dinner. They took a few hours but turned out really good. I also made garlic red potatoes and cornbread and corn. The potatoes were really good as well.

i forget what these are called...but they were good!

these are a mexican inspired appetizer i tried out one day. you take a tortilla and cut circles out of it using a cookie cutter. then you put those in a muffin pan so they kind of make a small cup and then you put whatever you want in them. i did some refried beans, cheese, and olives. i think you bake them at like 400 or 450 for 5 minutes, let them cool a minute and then eat. we had ours with sour cream and salsa. they turned out sooo good i thought! the tortillas got kind of crispy, exactly what i was looking for.

fruit salad

Just made this fruit salad. Kiwis, strawberries and mangos ... tasty combo. It's been a while since I've combined fruit.

one more pic

this is the last pic from the series below, its the apple pancake upside down. the cinnamon sugar kind of makes a glaze and the apples turned out really soft. it was good. the secret to making the apples stay at the bottom is to saute them first. i learned this the hard way. the first time i made this they floated so they didn't keep any of the sugary stuff on them...wasn't as good.

the last few months...if you want a recipe let me know. but here are some pics

the first is hootenanny, you've all had that.
next is some blueberry pancakes. the blueberries were good and juicy, the pancakes weren't very sweet, they were very bland and needed lots of syrup.
then there's some shepherd's pie. it's the best shepherd's pie i've ever had. serious.
this is a copy of the apple pancake from the original pancake house. it was kind of close...but some parts were almost "omelette-ey." It's similar to hootenanny but with some added ingredients like cinnamon and apples.
