2014 - Week 47 Cooking Results

Tenderloin Pizza (idea from AB live)

I was extremely happy with how the curst turned out on this one.  Sometimes you have sauce spill over over the side (crust ruined in that area), or there just happens to be a bit to much in that area (ruined again), or for whatever reason there is a break or tear that happens while cooking or before cooking that you miss (more annoying, and still ruined in that area).  But this time, there was no sauce spillage, no tears.  Just crust perfection.

In thinking about it, one could do more to make it more like a tenderloin, and maybe at some point I'll do that.  Pickles, Mustard...shredded lettuce after.  Something.  Anyways This was a good starter for the idea of a tenderloin pizza and we all enjoyed it.

Korean Tacos (sort of like this)

Delayed until today.  Even though my "busy season" is supposed to be over, I've still been busy, so I never got home with enough real time to get home and do the day before prep for this.  I did this Saturday (after getting the pumpkin bread in the oven).

Spicy Carrot Sandwiches

These are good as always.

Pork and Sugar Snap Peas

I saw some noodles in the cupboard that were bought for some reason that I don't remember, so I figured I should probably get them out of there to make more space (and not to waste them).  I guess they need to be made with something that is a bit more saucy because the noodles were pretty bland.  Occasionally there would be a bit where there was enough sauce and combined together well, but not mostly.

Skillet Cheeseburger Mac & Cheese

Quick, simple.  I swapped out the cheese called for for with Prairie Breeze.  It sort of did taste like a Cheeseburger.  I would make this again, because it is so quick and simple.

I pulled some chocolate out of the cupboard and I thought I had enough in the way of Lindt Chocolate (my normal brand for baking), but when I pulled out the 2nd bar that was there, it was the Lindt Excellence Chili Dark Chocolate Bar.  Now this is a perfectly tasty bar, but I'm not going to experiment (to often) on my friends when I'm not totally sure that it even sounds good.  So I then checked what else I had up there and there was a handful of bits and pieces and then some Callebaut.  So I used that on one of them and Lindt (70%) on the other.  Good stuffs.
