Food convo thread #1

Cooking up some chicken yakitori on the BBQ, right after 2 joints and cloud watching

 

Nana fucking RAGED that cake. There is none left, it was gone in minutes. AND AND AND for the first time in my life instead of calling me fat, she said "Wow Bail, you look like a rail." I think that was a compliment, haha.

 

I made my first from scratch last thanksgiving. It was pretty bad haha. I made 5 other desserts that were awesome but the pie just didn't set up right. But I'm on dessert duty this year again so hopefully I can make something better!!!

 

Spinach Alfredo Lasagna
1/4 lb prosciutto (or more) (from deli counter, its cheaper)
mozzarella
ricotta
2 bricks of frozen chopped spinach
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 red onion, sliced or chopped
1 jar (or homemade) of classic alfredo sauce
lasagna noodles
salt and pepper to taste

preheat oven to 350° or 375°F
thaw and squeeze as much liquid out of the spinach as you can, use a kitchen towel
mix ricotta with dry spinach in a large bowl, add garlic, S&P
(prep lasagna according to package directions)
put into a baking dish:
alfredo
noodles
filling
mozzarella (shredded, not too much in middle layers)
sauce
noodle
(repeat)
prosciutto (save most for the top half of the lasagna)

very top should be cheese
bake for 35-40 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly
cool, serve and enjoy!

(its a very lenient recipe, i like those!)

 

Pie pie, delicious pie. I drew an apple on top but you can't really tell.

 

I can see it. And it looks good enough to eat. Come to kentucky and make derby pie for me?

 

What's a derby pie?!

 

delicious!

INGREDIENTS:​

Single pie crust, which you can make from your very own recipe. If you're too rushed for that, we recommend those wonderful Pillsbury crusts that you merely have to put in the pie pan and crimp! Find them in the refrigerated biscuit section of the supermarket. ​

Filling:​

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled​

2 eggs​

1 cup sugar​

1/2 cup all-purpose flour​

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips​

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans​

2 tablespoons Kentucky Bourbon​

Beat eggs with cooled butter. Add flour & sugar. Beat until mixed well. Stir in pecans, chocolate & bourbon. Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until set. Serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, or both!​

 

That does sound delicious! I have all those ingredients minus the bourbon, I'll definitely try it out some day soon!

 

make sure you use good bourbon. It really makes all the difference in the world. Preferably Woodford reserve. But thats expensive. Jim Beam, ancient age, and Buffalo Trace are all from my hometown and are delicious.

 

woww stella that pie looks great. and the apple on top is cute! haha

 

Thanks! I just tried it and it's purdy delicious. I heart pie, I'm such an old lady
