WE MADE FOOD

Hannah and I made alfredo last night--pretty much my favorite food of all time.




The recipe for it is on the very first post of food blog. We altered the recipe by adding onion powder and pepper and we used macaroni noodles instead of penne.
UM YUM.
I was invited to someones potluck this week so I cant wait to cook some more! and cookies today!!

Yummmm

So, two things:



Here is what the soup actually looks like. I actually got around to making it today but I still have a ton in the freezer so I think we should totally have an edible snesations pot luck one of these days...




Also, this is my new favorite website ever: Bakeorbreak.com

TWO FOR ONE!

So I'm gonna post two recipes that you can make out of one chicken! It's great!

RECIPE #1: Asian-ish Pasta With Chicken And Veggies
I've never really had a recipe for this one (someone just told me how to make it) but I'll just write it out.

Ingredients
Chicken (a rotisserie chicken is best but canned chicken/anything else works too.)
Spaghetti (I usually make a whole box of spaghetti which lasts me a loooong time)
A bottle of soy sauce (I use La Choy)
Veggies! Frozen or Fresh. I like to use red peppers, onions, peas, carrots, and corn. I typically use a whole bag of frozen mixed vegetables.

This makes a lot, so you can just use less of everything or get lots of tupperware ready for leftovers (it's really good cold, too!)

First, bring a pot of water to boil. Once it boils, add soy sauce to the boiling water until the water is dark brown, I usually use about half of one of the medium sized bottles. Add the pasta.

While the pasta is cooking, cut up your veggies and get as much chicken off the bones as you want and then chop it up. Mix the chicken and veggies together in a big pan with a little bit of oil and a little bit of soy sauce in the mix.



When the pasta is ready, drain it, and add it to the cooked veggies and chicken. Mix it all together and it is deeeeeeelicious!! Unfortunately, it's not the prettiest looking thing ever, but it's soooo good!




RECIPE #2: Home Made Chicken Noodle Soup

You can use the leftovers of the Rotisserie Chicken to make soup! YAY!

Ingredients:
The Leftover rotisserie chicken (all of it, everything!)
Water
Chicken Boullion Cubes
Salt & Pepper
A few cloves of garlic
An Onion
Carrots, Celery, or any other vegetables
Noodles

So take a big pot and dump all of the leftover chicken in it, bones and all. Then fill up the pot with water at least enough to submerge the chicken. Add the onion, 3 or 4 boullion cubes, 3 or 4 cloves of garlic, and a little salt and pepper.
Put the pot on to boil and allow it to boil for about an hour. Then, skim off all the grossness and oily stuff that forms on the top. After that, turn the heat down to low and keep it on low for hours (I usually leave it over night). Then, skim it again and strain out all of the stuff so you have a pot of yummy broth and then a pot of everything else. Pull all of the good chicken that's left on the carcass (sorry its a gross word but it's all i can think of...) and add it to the broth. Then add your veggies and cook noodles and add those too. SO DELICIOUS! No pictures of this one cause I haven't finished making it yet.

Easy Heart Cake!!

So exploring Pike Place in Seattle today, I found a nifty little kitchen shop and lo and behold! They had a sale on this super cute super awesome heart shaped silicone pan! I dont care much for the silicone, but the fact it was five dollars was much to my liking!
Anyways, Kathleen (my older sis) rummaged through her cupboards to find cake supplies! and then we found THIS:

Cocina MEXICAN WEDDING COOKIES para tu Amor Ahora!

Hola putas. After a long and serious discussion last night, Kira and I decided to share cooking secrets extracted from the remote desert of Mexico in the highest ziggurat known to man. I must warn you, once you read this recipe, I will have to hunt you down and knife you... but know that you will probably have enough time to make a batch of these mouth-watering treasures and bask in their daintiness before you join the lord Jesus.

Ingredients:

1 lb soft unsalted butter

1 C powdered sugar

2 T vanilla

1 tsp salt

2 C finely chopped pecans

5 C sifted flour

powdered sugar for dusting

Latin pop music for inspiration (Ricky Martin does NOT count)

1) First place your MP3 player, CD, cassette tape or eight-track into a music dispensing device and press play (or jugar)

2) Preheat oven to 350 degrados Fahrenhitos

3) Beat butter and powdered sugar with mixer until light and fluffy and peaks form (about 10-15 min)

4) Add vanilla, salt, and pecans

5) Remove from mixer and stir in flour by hand. Be careful not to over-mix, fools!

6) Form into futbol Americano shapes (or blobs) the size of walnuts and place on a buttered cookie sheet

7) Bake 10-12 minutes or until just beginning to get the slightest bit of coloration on bottoms.

8) Remove upon first sight of coloration and set on cooling rack

9) When cool enough to touch, place in bowl with powdered sugar on top and toss gently

10) Once cooled, place in a box made solely of Mayan gold and cover until ready to serve

When I don't follow the recipe exactly, I find my cookies taste like rotting corpse. These are very temperamental cookies so the slightest mistake will be horrific. If you mess them up, perhaps you don't deserve to eat cookies.

Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella salad

Hey all! This is my first post to food blog and I'm really excited to have the opportunity to contribute!

This tomato, basil and mozzarella salad is one of my favorite summer snacks. It also serves as a the perfect light dinner for those summer evenings when its to hot to even want to touch the stove.
It also only takes 10 minutes or less to prepare.

Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella Salad

3 Tomatoes
Fresh basil leaves
Mozzarella cheese
salt
garlic

Slice up the tomatoes and mozzarella into medium thin slices. You want them to be thick enough to pick up easily with your hands but thin enough that its not impossible to eat it in one bite.

Now this is so easy that the most important part is really presentation. You can either arrange them in stacks of deliciousness like I've done by putting the slices of mozzarella on top of the tomato and then laying one or two leaves of basil on top.
(This one is good for a one person meal or something to snack on with a friend. Forks not required.)

Or, you can arrange it with more of an artistic flair like this ...
which is a great presentation for parties where guests can pick at the arrangement as part of a larger meal.

With either arrangement, just add some garlic and salt to taste and your ready to go.
