2011 - Week 44 Cooking Results

Sausage and Cheddar Pizza

This is one of my favorite combinations.  However, there are the inherent problems in this.  Both sausage and cheddar tend to release extra fat, so that is just something you have to deal with.  It reminded me of the combination (though better tasting) that I'd order in college.  I've been playing with the sauce recipe a bit, because following it has made it a bit runny, so I'm swapping some of the whole tomatoes with diced tomatoes.  And this was, perhaps, to much of a swap.  Though the taste profile is still there, but it was perhaps a bit too dry.  So I'll play with it a bit more and see what happens.

Les Is More Burgers (p265 The Splendid Table's How to Eat Weekends)

So this was an interesting way to make a burger.  A quick hot sear plus a finish in a BBQ sauce?  It actually tasted pretty well.  I think everyone was generally happy with the way they came out.  The BBQ sauce was pretty good.  I have to admit that I didn't think I needed all the sauce to simmer the burgers, so I separated it out.  I'm actually looking forward to using it, probably this upcoming week.

Chevre Omelettes

I made two, they weren't the prettiest (need more practice), but they tasted good.  I had chipotle chevre and Shannon had chive chevre.

Soft Tacos with Sausage and Feta

This was quite delicious.  It was simple, quick and just good.  After a long day I went directly into cooking this and was quite simple and just turned out well.

Pumpkin Mac and Cheese

So I had put this in the oven, opened the fridge and there was the pumpkin that I intended to add to the mix.  So it was just a baked (although good) mac and cheese.  So I'll have to make this again.
