Chicken Alfredo

Shannon loves herself the Alfredo, a bit to much.  It's so easy to make that I'll make it from time to time for her.  I figured since I had leftover cream, it would make for a good dinner.  I turned out well, as one would expect.  I did have a minor issue because I didn't start boiling the water early enough.  So the chicken and the sauce were done and the water was still coming to a boil.  Oh well it still worked.

Bacon Tuskegee (replicating the dish from La Mie)

I have loved this combination of flavors for a long time.  Who would've ever thought Dijon mustard, peanut butter, egg (runny yolk), and red onion on toast would work so well together.  Certainly something that I can make on my own, but I still find myself buying it from time to time.

Gemelli pasta with Sausage, Onions and tomatoes (pasta from Lucca)

So my dad was on his way back from visiting some of my siblings and nieces and nephews, as he likes to do, so he dropped by for some dinner.  I was able to whip up this pretty quick, it was meant to be a quick meal anyways.  Quickly added a salad and then we had a dinner.  I didn't have enough pasta for the amount of sausage that I had, and I really should have cooked some garlic with the onion, but over all it still turned out pretty well.  Shannon helped me clean the arugula for the simple salad

Hamburger (from Ebersole Cattle Company, first time for me buying from them, it is of the Maine-Anjou breed)

I wasn't overly impressed with the ground beef (could have just been the way I prepared, I may buy some more sometime).  I suppose it was ground for a general purpose.  But it didn't, to me, seem like it had enough fat in it and the grind was to small.  I really am looking for a beef vendor that I can count on for high quality, tasty, grass fed (sometimes corn finished) quality beef that doesn't necessarily have to be organic, but the animals do have to be treated well, even in slaughter.  If you have any ideas, let me know.

Chorizo Tacos

I had a bit of leftover chorizo and what better to have some fresh tacos with?  So it worked up fast, the only disappointing thing was the avocado.  It was not pleasant once it was opened.  But a simpel combination of the chorizo, onions, beans and tomatoes made for a good simple taco.

Molasses Cookies

For game night, I made some Molasses Cookies.  They turned out vey well, though they were big.  But I suppose I could've made them smaller (but didn't want to toy with the cooking time).
