Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Vanilla Custard
I’m gonna level with you peeps. Thanksgiving is MY holiday. Yes indeed, somewhere between 13-16 people show up at my house every year for Thanksgiving. And I Love. Every. Minute. Of. It. When I released my blog to the public, I told you a fabulous story of my Thanksgiving disaster trying to deep fry a turkey. In case you missed it, you can read it here .
Killer Shrimp
I must be feeling nostalgic for some reason. Because this is another recipe from back in the day. From 1999-2004, I lived in Sherman Oaks with my pretty fabulous roommate/sister from another mother/best friend, Molly. The day we moved in, we had tons of friends and family helping us out. Molly insisted that at the end of moving day we went to a restaurant waaayyy tooo close for the comfort of my jeans called Killer Shrimp. It’s essentially a broth based soup with about 12-14 pieces of shrimp in it. It’s full of flavor and sometimes spicy. It was served with the largest basket of french bread you have ever seen.
Kelli’s Vegetable Panini
This summer I had a dear friend, Kelli, come visit me from Arizona for a few days. We met our senior year at UCLA and ended up taking some Sociology classes together.
Hungarian Langos
First off, you absolutely must love garlic to love Langos. Second, if you are eating it…everyone around you MUST eat it too. Cause it ain’t pretty when you’re the only garlic infused person in a room. I’m going to give you two recipes: the authentic recipe making it from scratch. And the “I want langos now and don’t have time to make the damn dough recipe”
Hubby’s note: I’m not Hungarian. And I don’t play Hungarian on TV. When I first started dating a Hungarian family (you don’t just date the daughter), they made this dish one night. They cooked the dough, and then handed me a whole clove of garlic and said “Bite into this!”. I’m not gonna lie to you, I thought they were crazy. I was one fried dough patty away from taking off. But OH, am I glad I stayed. This stuff is ridiculous. Be daring! Bite the garlic! You will thank yourself later. As an added benefit, vampires won’t come within a mile radius of you (nor will your spouse if they didn’t have any).
