2014 - Week 20 Cooking Results

Pancakes!

Delayed!  Forgot about this weekend.

Scrambled Eggs and Ramps

I wasn't as big of a fan of this.  Maybe I used to many ramps...I probably did.  Anyways, I'll probably have to wait for next year since the ramps are gone from the market.

Spaghetti with Ramps

Simple to put together and a good use of the ramps.

Grilled Cheddar Cheese w/ Chevre, bacon and Pickled Jalapenos

How could I forget the bacon?  Oh because I was in a bit of hurry.  Anyways I used some Reichert's Chevre, some Milton Prairie Breeze, and to add a touch of amazing (if that combination wasn't amazing enough, A touch of Pleasant Ridge Reserve.

I know, a bit excessive, but thats how I roll.

So it mostly was the Prairie Breeze, then secondary the Chevre, then a touch of the Pleasant Ridge.  I bought both pickled jalapenos and sweet pickled jalapenos.  After tasting the sweet, I ruled them out.  So on mine I put them, and Shannons, she declined.  It was pretty good.  Next time I'll remember the bacon.

Orange Chicken with Scallions

I may have overcooked the sauce for this a little.  That being said it still came out pretty well, very well.  I'm going to have to make this again.

Meatloaf with fresh scallions (sort of based on this)

Some beef, some mild italian sausage, some random spices.  The only thing I really forgot was the ketchup that the recipe called for.  It came together well, that, combined with some sour cream and cream cheese mashed potatoes.  Good Friday meal after a tough week (for Shannon than me, I slept in and napped most of Friday).  Looking forward to having a meatloaf sandwich here in a bit.
