apple nachos - gimme some oven On Friday night, I finished season six of Mad Men. At 2am. About a week after starting the season. I mean, I don’t even blink an eye nowadays when a friend asks what show they should “start” next in April. Well, to harken back to the good ol’ days when Don Draper and his family would have sat together around a “set” to watch a show, at a designated time each week, no computer in the house, but perhaps with an Old Fashioned in hand, I made a simple shrimp saute to share with you today inspired by the classic cocktail. Read more This week has been one of those perfectly normal weeks that makes me adore life. Meals shared with friends every day of the week. Lest I ever forget, most often it’s those normal things are the best things. Wishing you a weekend ahead full of the best of things. :) Read more Since I am right in the middle of binge-watching season six of Mad Men this week, I thought it might be apropos to do a quick post on how to make an old fashioned cocktail.

Mine’s visiting this week, which means I’ve totally regressed back to childhood and the water’s great! We’ve sipped wine, laughed until we’ve experienced stress incontinence, and cooked until our fingers are pruney and falling off our hands. And our tummies are plump and full. Marlboro Man had to go out of town for a couple of days, so one of the things Betsy and I made was our favorite pasta dish of all time. Betsy graduated from college, lived in various big cities, and now resides in Austin, Texas with her tech-nerd husband, Matt, where she spends her days cooking all the food snob dishes I so unselfishly taught her to make so many years ago. Come along with Betsy and me as we make one of our favorites: Penne a la Betsy, as I like to call it. The Cast of Characters: Shrimp, Penne (or other short pasta), butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, tomato sauce, heavy cream, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper.

Idea by Janice Kamide Images Source BuzzFeed Buffalo Chicken Bites One of my favorite guilty pleasures is buffalo wings, especially dipped in blue cheese dressing. There's something about the buffalo chicken and blue cheese combo that really appeals to me and I had a craving for it lately. When I came across a recipe for ham and cheese stuffed pretzel bites, I figured I could substitute it with chicken and blue cheese. I plan on making these again and experimenting with other fillings such a steak, provolone, sauteed peppers and onions for Philly Cheesesteak Bites... or even pepperoni, italian sausage, mozzarella and mushrooms for Pizza Bites. Buffalo Chicken Bites 1 cup finely diced cooked chicken breast 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup hot sauce (Frank's brand is what I used) 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled 2 1/4 teaspoons rapid rise dry yeast 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 cup warm milk ( I used 2%) 2 1/2 cups of flour Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in the middle of the oven.

Beer Bread Beer Bread Bread scares me. Not eating it. Looks and tastes impressive, but couldn’t be easier to prepare. There’s actually no yeast to worry about at all. You can use any old beer you want. Either way, it’s a sweet and salty bread with a golden textured crust and deep yeast flavor that really and truly tastes like beer. Beer bread makes excellent toast. Recipe You need: 3 cups all-purpose flour1 Tablespoon baking powder1 ½ teaspoons salt4 Tablespoons sugarOne 12oz can or bottle of beer. Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees. HonestFare.com
Recipe for Grilled Zucchini Pizza Slices This idea of grilled zucchini used as a base for pizza toppings is one of those cooking ideas that swirl around in my head, and sometimes I'm never sure if I thought of it or saw it somewhere else. I kept wondering how it would work to arrange a marriage between Grilled Zucchini and Val's Kid-Friendly Broiled Zucchini Rounds with Cheese, with the offspring having a little pizza personality, and when I saw Alea's Eggplant Pizza Bites on $5 Dinners, it convinced me to try it. Even so, this is only a recipe in the very loosest sense of the word, because anything you like on pizza could be cooked on top of a thick slice of grilled or broiled zucchini. I used an over-sized 8-Ball zucchini to make my pizza, but any large zucchini could be used here. Cut slices of zucchini about 3/4 inch thick, then brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Grill the zucchini slices on one side for about 7-8 minutes, or until there are some grill marks and the zucchini is starting to get tender.
