Professional Hiatus
May 8
Well from now until probably most likely the end of May I will not be baking or cooking as much as I would like if at all. I’m in Minneapolis this weekend and then will be packing up my house for our move at the end of next week. With our new house needing much renovation I won’t have a kitchen for at least a week but I’m going to assume it will be longer then that. So please don’t forget about me check back in June for those recipes to be put back up.
I will try to post reviews of places while i’m out though. As well I think i have a couple of recipes I haven’t posted yet so I will get those up.
Thanks to all my readers out there.
Peanut Butter Chicken
May 2
Peanut butter chicken is one of my favorites to make for its simplicity and just down right good taste. Now obviously if you don’t like peanut butter you will not like this. This is an asian inspired meal with a little american kick. Now with all my hot things the hot sauce is something that can be reduced but for this one I wouldn’t take it completely out. I saw a peanut butter chicken in a Mens Health Magazine and thought that I could handle figuring it out and this is what I came up with. My first couple were pour in some of this and some of that so I have tried to get my best guesstimates of how much of what is in the sauce.
Egg & Bacon Toast Cups
May 2
Now lets just set the record straight. First off I hate eggs. Unless they are thoroughly mixed into a batter. What you are about to learn how to make I in no way want to even taste it. I do however have a wife that loves eggs in the morning so I make them for her. I also found this recipe and thought it would be a fun one to try. Especially for those who have kids these little cups are a great little breakfast treat. Lets just say this is simple and very quick to make. It requires little skill to make so most if not all of you can make it. I found this recipe from www.foodgawker.com on The Noshery
Who doesn’t like a good pancake. This is actually one of the few breakfast items that I normally don’t ever eat at its designated time. I almost always have these for dinner rather the a breakfast. Part of it has to do with the fact that syrup is too sweet for me in the morning. However I love a good Maple Syrup. My wife on the other hand loves her plastic bottle mass produced yuck in a bottle. LOL We actually have to have both cause I will not use hers and she will not use mine. Its kind of nice that way. Not to mention I like blueberry and she likes chocolate chip so we also have different pancakes. I have that picture posted towards the bottom. So I decided instead of buying the bisquick pancake in a shaker thing I would give an attempt at making some. Let me tell you I won’t do it any other way. They are easy to make and taste so much better. Not to mention the fluffiness and lightness of these hotcakes were awesome.
