Pimento Mac And Cheese

It has been a bit since I last made this the last time. I purposefully chose hooks cheddar for the color. and went from there. I kind of wish there was an option at my local grocery store for a better quality, and more flavorful pimentos. Anyways, it came together well, and was eaten with joy.

Sweet Potato Soup with Bacon and Chives

I thought I had more sweet potatoes, but when I went to make this I found a sweet potato, and then had to substitute the rest of that with potatoes. I added sour cream, and with the adjustment it came out pretty good. Certainly thick, perhaps even thicker then intended, but I had to get it done.

Chicken Cheesesteaks

I missed some directions here and there, and made corrections, and eventually made it work. I really think they should have better cheese options. I mean in this sliced “cheese” works, but do I really have to? Shredded cheese could have also worked here. A blend of Parmesan, cheddar and something more melty. I reduced the peppers in the mayo, and increased the mayo, for the purpose of making it less spicy for Shannon then added some of the extra peppers to my own sandwich. Good stuff.

Honey-Sriracha Shrimp over rice

Delayed! Shannon wanted to get Lucky Lotus, so we got Lucky Lotus.

Risotto Milanese

This is the most saffron I’ve used at one time, on the family thread where I had people guess the ingredient, and one of my brother’s stated, “I was thinking saffron, but it seemed like a lot”. I had some I had gotten from CostCo a bit ago and used the whole gram of it. A very simple recipe, but needed more attention then average, but over all quite good.
