In the Kitchen

I have now completely given up on my food blog, but I still want to record the foods we try. Since this blog is our journal and I turn it into a blog book each year I've decided to post mine/our creations to preserve our love for food and trying new things. Here is what we have made over the past few months...

Pizza Dough Doughnuts

I got this recipe from Giada DeLarentiis (Food Network) and thought it was going to be great. We were pretty disappointed. I'm sure part of it was due to my poor doughnut making skills, but I just don't think the dough was right for the application.

Banana Muffins

I made these to use up some bananas and because Ava loves muffins. Ava helped make them and enjoyed the reward of licking the spoon. Ava is a good kitchen helper and will pull over a chair to stand on to offer me help. Sometimes she gets made when I don't let her help with things that are too dangerous.

Asparagus Tart

I had never made an egg tart before, so this recipe intrigued me. I wasn't sure what we would think about it, but it was a big hit. Ava loved it and woofed it down.

Cornish Game Hen with Rosemary Cream BiscuitsPeach & Blackberry Cobbler

(both from our garden) Veggie Spring Rolls with Apricot Sauce

There are 2 sizes. The bigger ones are made with spring roll wrappers and the smaller ones are made with won-ton wrappers. Everyone in the family enjoyed these. Rich made and ate the sauce. Watermelon Sorbet
