Aplogies for rediculous delays in updates...
Brief recaps of recent activities:
Cheerful Carrot Muff-Cakes (thicker than a cupcake, more indulgent than a muffin)
The moment I posted this on facebook, there was a line outside my cubby at work. Hope they were actually tasty!
Knorr Great Chowder Cook-off = Amazing.Couldn't have asked for more gorgeous weather. First Mr. & Mrs. T's Bloody Mary competition on the Knorr test kitchen stage, brought new excitement to the C Tent. Here is a snapshot of a citrus Mary with grapefruit. Not my concoction, but loved the colors when we served them up.

Strawberries and Cream for Britt's Birthday/Graduation/Steph Going Away party
Sometimes simplicity prevails over the frills and thrills of too many ingredients. Reused the basic cream cheese frosting inside some juicy ripe strawberries from Stew Leonard's. A few simple scores on the berry and a dollop of frosting from a pastry bag and you're golden. Couldn't keep them on the plate long enough to take a picture of a filled plated dish!
Kaniwa - my new Whole Foods discovery! Relatively similiar to Quinoa - but mini mini in size. Delicious and packed with protein. I'm just eating it plain out of the batch I cooked up mid-week, however there is a great summer salad with basil, lemon and tomato I plan to try out this week.
Finally, my new addictive alternative to any pasta - I will never go back to regular (not only because I was diagnosed with wheat intolerance, but because this is just a fabulous alternative to hefty pastas.) Shirataki Noodles. I mixed this all up with some fresh zucchini, summer squash, broccoli, and sundried tomatoes with garlic chicken. Top with a few spoonfuls of roasted tomato sauce and a sprinkle of parm and YUM.
Bon appetit!
