Coconut Shrimp

"Something Smells Fishy"

This is my sisters favorite dish. Actually, let me take that back, this was my sisters favorite dish before she suddenly developed an allergic reaction to shrimp in her 20’s. After years of sampling coconut shrimp from every single restaurant we have ever been to that sells it, her heart sinks because she can no longer eat it. She was indeed the coconut shrimp queen. This post is in dedication to her former self, I pray she does not suddenly develop allergies to lobster, because then she would really be devastated.

Savory Bread Pudding

M...eat...less

Recipes have a funny way of transforming themselves. I had every intention of making some savory bread pudding waffles with a pepper jelly glaze ( which was really some store bought pepper jelly melted in the microwave…soooo good) I went to my mother’s house because I did not take the waffle sandwich maker when I moved. We turned that kitchen upside down and we have yet to find the waffle iron inserts. Needless to say, I was highly annoyed. Because bread pudding really need to cook thoroughly, I didn’t think the sandwich press inserts could do the job as well as the waffle inserts. However because I had no other choice but to make it work, I tried cooking this recipe three ways.

Classic baked Macaroni and Cheese

 

 "Christmas is coming"

 

Have you ever been to a Christmas dinner without mac and cheese? I can say with a certainty that I have never been to any form of family dinner or special occasion that did not have macaroni and cheese in some form. So here it is, my simple, easy, cheesy and delicious version of the classic. I’m sure you’re thinking, I already know how to make this, but you don’t know how to make it like me :)
