Incoming... Food Dump!

=> Since midterms are "done" for a while and we're still trying to procrastinate studying, zee wonderful and long hiatus is OVA!!

=> Except all details have now been forgotten and well as the title implies, a food dump. Ready? Set? GO!!


9/27/11 - Quickie: Chicken fingers with a mayo mustard sauce and a healthy side of broccoli.


9/30/11 - Potluck Prep: Spiced Trail Mix Cake and Cranberry Biscuits all set and ready.


10/2/11 - Pasta Casserole with tomatoes, ricotta, cheddar, and fresh herbs. We had sooooo much that it lasted probably around 3 or 4 days of breakfast lunch dinner.


10/5/11 - Stale Bread: Toss it with some EVOO and a whole lotta dried herbs + chicken + leafy greens = Salad a la Not Quite Fusion! The pizza's just a Ristorante Pollo pizza but it looked so good (and tasted quite good too) that a picture just had to be taken.


10/13/11 - Lazy Day In: We called it in a lazy day, had asparagus that had to be eaten, have a bunch of Mac and Cheese... ended up creating a house favourite. No big. =)


10/15/11 - One of many Apple Pies that this house has eaten our way through...


10/16/11 - Crock Pot Ribs: After high anticipation (mainly on E's part), Ribs were actually falling off the bone (this picture took a number of tries attempting to pick one up without destroying it).
Of course, with all that meat we've got to have some veggies! Pretty sure that was a Cauliflower Pasta Bake with Ricotta Cheddar Cheese Sauce.
Mmmmm... S'mores... $2 S'mores Kit. Be jealous.


10/17/11 - Chocolate Chocolate Upcakes: Shhh... Little known secret is that the Cream Cheese Icing failed. They still turned out though; instead the originally planned layered upcakes, we injected them instead and topped them with a eetle swirl.


10/24/11 - Taca...whaa...?: Hailing from Old El Paso's Taco Lasagna Kit it's the Tacasagna!!

=> Last but not least, today's feast!! (Oh hey! That rhymed!)


Manicotti-esque Stuffed Chicken; stuffed with spinach, carrots, celery, mozzarella (it was supposed to be mozzarella & ricotta... but our ricotta started molding), basil, marjoram, pasta sauce. Covered in another tablespoon of sauce each, baked at 350 for 45 minutes and topped with Parmesan. Liquid from the sauce & veggies from the chicken was then mixed into the pasta to give it some added uumph. Made nine of these so it should last us a few days again just like the huge pasta casserole from earlier last month.


H bought back some apple pie (yes, more apple pie <3 ) the other night so we whip up some whipped cream. Lo and behold, we would whip too much. So what do we do? Make a French Vanilla Cake topped with Milk and Dark Chocolate Shavings of course!

=> Wow what a long post... let's call it a night. =)

As always,
You don't need to be Marie Antoinette to eat cake!
