Seafood Chowder Dinner At My Parents’ House…YUM!!

Apr8

This past Saturday, we were over at my parents’ house for dinner. They had told us one thing, but when we got there, it looked like my Dad had another idea LOL But that’s ok, because it was a very yummy seafood chowder. He took the basic idea of it, from the recipe below, but added salmon to it as well. Ours was also not as creamy, as the recipe, but it was still very yummy!! It was so good, it inspired us to make our own in the near future 🙂 It’s a decent recipe to work from, and I would recommend using it, if you’re a first timer to making seafood chowder.

Crock Pot Corned Beef Brisket with Carrots, Onions and Garlic Smashed Potatoes

Mar17

The brisket turned out fork tender, and the onions and carrots were cooked just enough. Add garlic smashed potatoes, and it made for a wonderful dinner!! Plus washing it down, with some yummy green Mill St. Organic beer, rounded out the entire meal nicely 😉

Bon Appetit and Cheers Everyone 🙂

Pistachio St. Patrick’s Day Bread

Mar17

Holy green colour Batman!! LOL Found this recipe last year, but never got around, to making it until today. With it’s green colour, it’s perfect for this holiday 🙂 A super simple recipe using box cake mix, pistachio pudding mix a few other ingredients, and 40-45mins in the oven will produce a pretty good tasting bread. I opted to bake it in the bundt pan, though the recipe says to use bread pans.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Everyone!!

Mar17

Nothing says Irish, like some good ol’ fashioned corned beef, am I right?! This year we forgot to grab, a brisket in time to pickle it ourselves, so we bought a pre-seasoned one. We bought Rachel’s brand (if you’ve heard of it), and it’s looking great so far, in the Crock Pot. We’re cooking it on low for 8 hours, and added the onions and carrots at the 4 hour mark. I know cabbage is traditional, but we just aren’t feeling it this year. Being able to set this-forget it, and come back to a fully cooked meal in hours, is a wonderful thing…especially when beer will be involved later tonight 😉

Krispy Kreme’s Lotta Latte Donuts!!

Mar16

So, my hubby and I finally tried out the coffee flavoured donuts, at Krispy Kreme. And they were good!! Both of them, were nummy in their own right, with coffee flavoured cream on top of the Caramel Coffee Kreme donut, and the mocha flavoured cream inside the Mocha Kreme donut. We’ll definitely try these again, the next time they come around. If you’re a big Krispy Kreme fan, give them a try yourself, before they’re gone!!

HOLY Wasabi Batman!!

Feb27

We had bought this at the Lindt Outlet Store, as the idea of it sounded yummy. BOY were we WRONG. Wasabi does NOT go with chocolate at all, and we like wasabi, so this was truly surprising to us. If you’re a wasabi lover, I’d say try it? But, if you’re not, keep away…it’s a waste of money. We’ll just stick to having wasabi with nummy sushi instead…

Valentine’s Day Morning Breakfast

Feb15

I thought I would make my hubby breakfast, while he snoozed, after working this morning. I wanted to make him something I hadn’t made before, and when I came across this breakfast quesadilla recipe, I knew I wanted to try it out. It was super simple to make, and turned out all right. Definitely going to make this again, but next time will add veggies to it, like mushrooms and onions and peppers.
