Random Deliciousness

Here's a smattering of recent dishes that I forgot to photograph until they were finished or mostly finished.

Hey! This might be the beginning of me taking requests. If you want to know how to make one, let me know!

This is a coconut sweet potato soup with a coconut maple drizzle and mint.

Salad Nicoise

My all time favorite salad meal.  If it weren't for mercury in tuna, I would eat this twice a week!

This one had fingerling, peruvian purple and baby red potatoes from Wieser Family Farms. My new farmer friend. So good.  I only wish everyone else wanted anchovies in theirs.  Had to put 'em on the side. Again.

Banana Bread Part Deux

I needed a solution to the I hate nuts-I love nuts conundrum.  This cake is sooooooo delicious with pecans inside it was hard for me to let them go, but I was bringing it to my friend's dinner and she hates nuts in baked goods. So I decided on nuts as decoration.  To be honest it tastes better in the batter and I'll go back to pecans as soon as the next opportunity grabs me. But isn't this pretty?

Bachelor Chow

 This is just ground turkey sauteed with spices, onions, tomatoes, whatever. It's supposed to be our super easy cheap go-to dinner that will also make perfect lunch the next day.  But we almost always finish it. And it makes Phinny jump up and down if he hears it is for dinner.

I'm into long veggies. They are slightly more inconvenient to  toss around in a pan, but they look so much cooler on the plate. These are zucchini, carrots and fennel. Yum fennel.

Coming soon...Can an untrained caterer feed 300 people with $400 and a staff of unpaid amatures?  Jesus I freakin' hope so, 'cause we're doing it on Saturday.
