Fried GoatChz Salad w Potato. Spaghetti and Meatballs in Garlic Bread Bowl. Remember those meatballs I made for a “special idea” on Friday? Here is that idea, Spaghetti and Meatball Pot Pie. I took the concept and figured if pizza was a good pot pie, then spaghetti and meat balls would be too. This isn't as much a recipe as it is a process. I started by greasing the inside of ramekins (1 cup sized, 3 1/2” in diameter). Then I put in a mix of white and mild cheddar cheese. Next I add in two of the meatballs and sauce.
Top that with some vermicelli that had been tossed in the sauce too. Another piece of cheese. For the crust, we made one order of our standard pizza dough and then cut out 3 1/2” circles. I rolled those out a little bigger and then pressed them over the top of the ramekins. Since I wanted the crust to be reminiscent of garlic bread, I made a glaze of butter, roasted garlic, parsley and thyme. I fired up Alexis' Big Green Egg to 450f and set it up in “convection oven” mode with the plate setter legs down.
About 15 minutes in, they started to brown. Creamy Chicken Picasso. This totally irresistible and colorful chicken recipe is so not low-fat. But I really didn’t care this time; it’s that good. I saw this in a Dutch cooking magazine while waiting in line at the supermarket. Their recipe used pork, I think. I had to work from memory, so I’m pretty sure it’s different from the original recipe but nonetheless delicious. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; if I’m going to ingest this much fat and calories in one sitting, it better be something pretty darn good, special and delicious. There are loads of bell peppers in this but somehow the pepper flavor is remarkably subtle and not at all overpowering.
The chicken is super tender, the creamy tomato sauce is to die for and it’s all topped with gooey melted cheese. Ingredients: Directions: The peppers, I opted for one of each color. Turn the bell peppers into rings. Slice the onions in half rings. Three images of me grating garlic. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly brown the chicken. Chicken and Bean Burrito Verde. Directions Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Transfer the bean mixture to the small bowl of a food processor and process until smooth.

Chicken Potpie. My Drunken Noodles. Crab Cakes. We leave mayo and a deep fryer out of the equation to make flavorful, healthy crab cakes In the skilled hands of a four-star chef or a seafaring Maryland man, the goal of a crab cake is simple: Use just enough ingredients to build flavor and bind the cakes, but never at the expense of the crab itself.
The goal of the corporate cook is quite different: Make an inexpensive crab cake that will hold together under duress and leave them wanting more. That's why mayo and a deep fryer are invariably part of the process. Our cakes take the former route. You'll Need: 1 can (16 oz) jumbo lump crab meat 2 Tbsp minced jalapeno 2 scallions, chopped 1/2 cup minced red bell pepper 1 egg, lightly beaten 2 tsp Dijon mustard Juice of 1 lemon 1/4 tsp Old Bay seasoning 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 cup bread crumbsMango-Avocado Salsa How to Make It: *Preheat the oven to 425F.
*Gently mix everything but 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs. *Bake until golden brown on the outside, 12 to 15 minutes. Baked Crab Cakes with Spicy Avocado Sauce. I will be the first to admit that I haven’t eaten enough crab cakes in my life. And it’s not because I don’t like them; it’s more like I have this irrational fear of them. That does sound a bit odd now that I’ve actually put it out there, but crab cakes seem like something of a caloric commitment, you know? I sort of have this aversion to ordering a crab cake, knowing full well that it’s been fried, and then too often it’s rather heavy, possibly even greasy with very little actual flavor and not crabby enough (which makes me a little crabby). But then if they’re not fried, well, they tend to fall apart and be a little dry and lack flavor and aren’t really very interesting, and so one just moves on to other things. Well, to my credit, I thought this recipe from Gourmet had promise.
Assembling the crab cakes was way easier than I thought it was going to be. It feels pretty darn good to think that I have one less thing to fear in life.

Zucchini Cakes. I think it’s safe to say that the zucchinis have won. Dan and I are officially sick of the stuff — we’ve eaten zucchini in some form or another every single day this week. Roasted, mainly, but also sauteed, mixed in with scrambled eggs, and cut into strips for fries. These zucchini cakes were a last ditch effort to keep the fruits of last weekend’s labor from going to waste, but there’s still one gigantic squash left. Thankfully, my parents were happy to take that off our hands before it started festering in a dark corner of my fridge.
Tired as I am of zucchini, these cakes were still pretty tasty. Kind of like crab cakes, only filled with zucchini instead of crab meat.
