EwE Shrimp, spinach and garlic

-
Eating with Ellie!   Some of us used to be in an Ellie Kreiger group which after several years together folded.   Some of us decided to resurrect the group under a new name and cook from Ellie's latest book - Ellie's weeknite wonders.    Kayte chose this shrimp recipe as our first in the new group.  Since i am allergic to shellfish i substituted chicken.  

It has been a bad winter here for sickness and we have had our share already.   Yesterday on my way home from work i came down with either a cold or the flu.  The jury is still out.  I just know i feel like a train ran over me!   So wrapped in a blanket, i gave my DH step by step directions and he actually cooked this dish for us.   He did a great job!   Those of you who know him know that cooking is not his forte!  Im so proud of him.  That just goes to show how easy Ellies recipes are to prepare if he can do it!

I am definitely going to try this with chicken as I think that combination would be wonderful as well. It works so nice in a lettuce wrap to tote along for lunch that I know I'm going to be enjoying this recipe quite a bit in the future, with shrimp and with chicken. So fun that Chan cooked the dish this week...I wonder if I could get Mark to do that sometime, maybe one week we should have the guys cook it all...lol! That would be interesting. :-) Hope you are better soon. Always fun cooking with you, so happy you got onboard with this idea from the first! :-) Your photo looks really great.

You have a good husband and you can tell him I said so. He also did a great job.

Sorry you are not feeling well and hope you recover quickly and fully.

Yopur chicken looks good - a great substitute for the prawns.

YEP!! Gotta try this with chicken. It's the flavors that seem to go with anything. Sorry you are under the weather again, but you got C into the kitchen, so that's a good thing.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
