Spanish Breakfast Casserole with Eggs and Bacon

Delayed…until today.  I did make the croutons and then I made the dish this morning, for tonights dinner.

Fire Roasted Tomato Bisque

This turned out pretty good.  using some locally sourced (well stored) carrots, and some other of the ingredients, I was able to make this in good time.  Though I skipped the part where they said to leave part of it unblended, to create a more rustic mouth feel, I suppose, however, I blended it all.  This did lead to a minor flub on my part where for some reason I pressed blend after I had taken the blender lid off.

Luckily, it was on pulse mode and didn’t spray everywhere, though I did make a bit of a mess and may have had a minor burn where it got on my arm.

Instead of using croutons, I made some grilled cheese sandwiches.  it fit very well with the weather of the day.

Macaroni and Beef Casserole (Macaroni replaced and reduced)

Using the Dreamfields pasta, and less then the recipe calls for, I was able to pull this off.  It turned out quite well, though I substituted the Panko for some sourdough breadcrumbs I had stashed away in the freezer.

Ground Goat Burgers

A little salt and pepper, some of Joseph’s sourdough buns and some stone ground dijon mustard.  Good things.  Instead of going with a single serving fries (kind of silly), went with a reasonable carb limit.  Then had a salad on the side.

Corned Beef Hash

Tis the time of year where Brett at the Cheese Shop tends to make a cured meat of some sort.  This year it was Pastrami.  So I adjusted the Corned beef has, to be Pastrami Hash, and was quite happy with the results.  Not to mention I got to eat a couple of pastrami sandwiches out of the deal.  This turned out quite good.

Quick Turkey Chili

It was quick…but also not the best.

This morning I also made some Blood Cake (Cheese Shop) over eggs on toast.  This was a quite good breakfast.  Now I sip some coffee with some leftover cream and am enjoying my morning.

We also made a trip out to Reed's Hollow (the night that I discovered how long the casserole would take), and had a fantastic meal.  This is a great addition to the Beaverdale neighborhood.  And I'm glad to see the Hole in the Wall to get transformed into this.

We also made an early dinner trip to the Cheese Shop for their St Patrick's Day specials.  This was also delicious.  And certainly not the first time I've wanted all the things, but had to settle for one or two.
