Brian's Spicy Thai Sweet Potato Pile 7/26/11

Bacon...again...sweet potato fries from the freezer section, homemade thai chili sauce, fresh cilantro and green onion. I grabbed my fork and crammed as many as I could fit, into my mouth.

Delightfully tasty, tangy, salty, sour, sweet, spicy, crunchy, chewy, warm and mushy! Everything possible all on one plate - made by Brian!!!!

My First Carbonara

Sounds pretty fancy doesn't it? Also creamy and buttery too right? Somehow NO! This is the lactose-intolerant-girl's creamy pasta recipe dream. We started with some pancetta and green onion - just as Rachel Ray recommends.

The sauce is amazing - lemon juice, egg yolks, olive oil, white wine and spices. It is quite rich and tasty but doesn't take much time to prepare.

It is tangy and creamy - also, since you add the hard cheese at the end, you can make pretend it is Alfredo sauce...

To finish off the dish, we added italian sausage and broccoli. It is truly necessary to eat 2 pork products in one meal sometimes. It makes sense that when you are making a sauce with egg yolks, you kind of need to add pancetta and sausage. Adding the broccoli must balance the fat content...I think!

Totally Delicious Stuffed French Toast Day

7/17/11

We must have woken up that morning feeling HUNGRY! We had a loaf of Standard Baking Co.'s English Muffin bread in the apartment and that means you need to be eating it! Extra ripe bananas - what are they good for? Stuffed french toast! Roasted almonds and warm maple syrup and the SBC bread - heavenly!

Brian had the savory french toast - sauteed onions, broccoli and jalapeno with Hunter's Cheddar. (VT farmers - you know what you're doin'!) His was pretty great too - and somehow, he wasn't jealous of mine!
