Hello Friends! Sorry, it's been a while, but I've been having some computer/blogspot issues lately. I am back and better than ever (well, maybe)! Today I have some posts about my recent eats. The above picture shows my basic "diet" each day. Mother's milk tea, green smoothie, and water, water, water! yummm! On days that Matt makes up something really yummy, I consider myself very lucky. The other day he made us some super yummy stuffed french toast. This is one of our favorite things on the menu at a diner that we used to frequent in Washington state.
Stuffed French Toast :) Even though we have been VERY busy to say the least, we decided to take on the extra fun of doing another chopped challenge. I've posted about our other two chopped challenges, but I'll remind you what we do. We start with 4 ingredients, hidden in a basket. You must use those four surprise ingredients within the course that you are making. Another part of the challenge is you only have 40 minutes to make up a complete course that will be judged on creativity, use of all the ingredients, and plating.
Matt opening his basket.
He found: Turkey legs, Minute brown rice, turnips, and lemons
Matt had his work cut out for him!
Turkey legs...ready to go! Do you think they'll cook in 40 minutes on the grill????? NOPE!
The end product was turkey with various veggies in a spicy sauce served with rice! It tasted better than it looked ;)
Now it's my turn to make dessert.
In my basket, peanut butter, scotch biscuits, hot chocolate packets, and dried paw paw
Here it is folks: peanut butter paw paw truffles (one dusted with hot chocolate mix and the other dusted in crushed biscuit and topped with a peanut butter cocoa sauce), hot chocolate + wine in the shot glass with a peanut butter chocolate dipped scotch biscuit to dunk in the hot chocolate.
As always, we had a blast being creative in the kitchen! Come visit me and I'll challenge you to a kitchen duel.
Enjoy today!
