put your apron on

I have had so many recipes being texted among friends! We are cooking!!!

Here are some standouts for me-

Coconut Curry Shrimp– PW in the house!! I love her. Anyways, easy and delicious. Make some white rice to pour it over and lick the bowl!

Crock Pot Chicken and Wild Rice Soup– IGE – another favorite of mine- now, for those of you who know me well, I don’t crock pot in this house! My mom was a WONDERFUL cook but the only nights my sisters and braced ourselves for dinner — was when we smelled dinner in the crockpot. NOT good. Tom happens to share my view on this so we don’t go there- so I made this version in my dutch oven. I liked it A LOT. Tom thought it was too salty so I  would use no salt broth next time. I sent this to some friends and the amount of positive reviews via text was HIGH.

PF Changs Mongolian Beef Copycat Recipe– YUMMMMM! Sarah (my neighbor who I cook with)  and I made this and did decide to run water over the steak to get off some of  the cornstarch but that could have been my fault. The sauce is awesome. We put over white rice and also added Sesame Chicken Potstickers which everyone loved. Tom said this was one of my top meals… ever.

I haven’t made this yet- but my friend Julie said it’s a must! Detox Turmeric Lentil Soup. On my list!

Salmon with Honey Pecan Sauce- this is a new favorite for us. So easy and so delicious.

Cauliflower Bolognese– my friend Holly said she used a pre-riced cauliflower/broccoli/carrot mixture from Target.

And now, we what we all love-

Chocolate Lava Cakes– you think this is hard- WRONG! Easy, can prep it ahead and then pop in oven when you  are ready to cook. Great Valentine’s dessert for all.

Browned Butter Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats– from my friend Holly- she fully endorses!

Keep sending me recipes- I’m in a groove these days and with my cooking sidekick, Sarah, we are trying lots of recipes we tore out years ago.
