Hungarian Cauliflower Soup
Okay peeps! I’ve got to churn out some recipes here so my long diatribes about being a mommy and my liver damage will be pretty short for a few posts here. I have tons to tell you about Cabo, my sister-in-law’s wedding, bachelorette party numero 3, our new puppy, and summer. I will get to all of it because there is so much great stuff to share….In the meantime, it’s only 82 today so why not make soup.
As you should all know, I am Hungarian and was raised eating delicious (and not so delicious) foods. I absolutely loved this soup growing up and now my hubby loves it too. Dig In!
Chimichurri Steak (And Thanksgiving Debrief)
Wheredya go?
I’ve missed you so,
Seems like it’s been forever,
That you’ve been gone….
It’s been a week. I’m so ashamed. I’ve missed my computer, designing new recipes, and posting them for you. So, what’s new? Anything happen to you? Thanksgiving – that’s right. How was yours? Did ‘ya do Black Friday!?!? Did you eat turkey leftovers till Monday even though you probably should have tossed them on Saturday?
Simon and Garfunkel Chicken Stuffed with Gorgonzola Cheese
Gosh, that’s a mouthful. But I feel like it needed its whole title, ya know? Sing with me – parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme….Here is the deal. I am SO NOT a big fan of chicken breast. It just seems boring. I like it in my salads but honestly, to BBQ chicken breast? It usually comes out dry and yuck. Now, my father-in-law LOVES chicken breast. Being a loving daughter-in-law, when he came over for dinner one night I made him this chicken. On the BBQ. (well, Ryan grilled it. He’s the grill master. Which reminds me, get ready cause I have a Labor Day weekend grilling extravaganza coming your way – time to get your man involved! Okay – back to this chicken now.) When I took the first bite I thought to myself, “Holy Bananas!! That’s YUM!” Add the cilantro corn and fire roasted artichokes on the side and it was a completely yummy meal. I borrowed the seasoning ingredients from my pals at Amazingribs.com and then stepped it up a notch by stuffing this chicken with gorgonzola cheese. Here we go peeps!
Hubby’s Note: Men love fire. Men love food. Thus, men should grill. I learned how to grill about a year ago from Craig “Meathead” Goldwyn on his site www.amazingribs.com. It’s so much more than ribs and if you are a man, you need to check it out. If you have a man in your life, you need to send him there for tokens of wisdom such as “If you boil ribs, the terrorists win”. Anyway, I found this spice rub (and the S&G moniker) on Meathead’s site. And my amazing wife pumped it up a notch. Hubby inspired, hubby approved!
Garlicky Yummy Pasta
I was raised in a family where there was NEVER enough garlic in each and every dish. We are Hungarian which loosely translated means country of people who live for garlic. If you know me or my family you’re nodding right now and thinking of langos. And then you’re wondering if you have any Bridgeford dough in your freezer. In the meantime, I’m sure you have some kind of pasta floating around so make this for dinner tonight. Keep in mind though….Whoever you make this for has to eat it too. Cause your gonna be a garlic stink bomb.
Hubby’s note: Two things. First off, did my wife mention she loves garlic? Second, be forewarned. I’ve left quite a few garlic “stink bombs” in our house after this meal. Those things linger.
