Well, here it is the 13th of January and I have yet to fulfill the promise I made to myself to post to my food blog regularly in 2011. Shame on me! So I am making up for a few posts here.
I was responsible for dessert on Christmas Day at the Penroses (the Meandering Ones). I made my favorite Lemon Cheesecake and a Chocolate Cream Pie.
The Chocolate Cream Pie scared me a bit since I had never made one and I don't like it so had know way of knowing if it was going to be good. Yikes! This was mostly for my dad and made with a gluten free pie crust. Turns out it is not hard to make, yeah for me. I even made fresh whipped cream to put on top. At least this time it did not turn to butter :-)
I also made several kinds of cookies but for some reason did not photograph any of the evidence. What was I thinking. Cookie choices were: Gingerbread with lemon icing, GF Sugar, Peanut Butter, Pistachio Cranberry, Shortbread with Rasberry filling and Jewel Bark.
New Year's Day - Football and Food at my house. I made Roasted Tomato Soup with homeade croutons,Italian Cheese and Ham and Cheese Sandwiches. Yummmm!
Picture is of the Italian Cheese - French bread spread with Pesto sauce, provolone, fresh mozzarella and tomato slices. So delicious. It was inspired by a grilled version that we get from The Pantry in McKinney, TX.
Somehow getting back into the groove after the holidays has been difficult to say the least but I feel I am on my way. My mind is constantly thinking of new things to cook and I got several new cookbooks for Christmas that I have to go through.
Happy Cooking!
