EwE- Chicken Sausage with Quinoa

-


It's Thursday!   Thursday's may mean something different to me than they do to you.  For me it is cooking with Ellie Kreiger from her cookbook Weeknight Wonders.   This week Margaret chose this delicious dish with quinoa.  I have not done much cooking with quinoa. And the jury is still out as to whether I want to do a lot with it.   Having said that I did make this dish for lunch and it was delicious!  Hubby will eat the leftovers tonight while I enjoy a girls night out with my red hatters!

This was a mixture of quinoa chicken sausage onions red peppers.  It seems like I always leave out one ingredient and this time it was cilantro and lime juice.  Meant to put them in but I guess I was too hungry!   It all just smelled so good when it came together!  Again, can we say DELICIOUS?

Oh no!  I forgot to add the corn!  A key ingredient for sure!

Hope your thursday is a happy one!  The weekend is coming soon.

You are my soulmate. I always leave something out too. I usually line the ingredients up and I still leave out something. The corn was my motivator. I love corn so mine has corn and I love it. Yours looks just fine without it though.

Oh my that looks good just the way it is, very versatile! We really liked this one and Mark was asking me to make it again before this round was finished, so I guess that was saying that he really loved it. The colors were all so pretty. Love the thought of you out with those red hatters! :-)

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...
