Catch up

I haven't posted food pics in a while, but there's been cooking going on. Some things to catch up on in the past few months. I really need to get some sort of decent camera.

Creamy penne pasta with prosciutto, crimini mushrooms and basil


BBQ one afternoon with friends:

Special, impromptu tri-tip marinade. I don't really remember everything that went in here but there was a good amount of Jack D and pineapple juice and teriyaki.

Kielbasa, bacon wrapped green onions, tri-tip kabobs

Infamous, mouth-watering, heart clogging bacon-wrapped green onions

Marinated tri-tip with roasted red onions, mushrooms and bell peppers


Another meal: Grilled chicken panini on sourdough with roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, swiss cheese, arugula and roasted-garlic dijon aioli. Also Israeli couscous with sweet potato, shallots, and pumpkin butter.

Baked spinach and sausage ziti with tomatoes and parmesan

Garlic shrimp-stuffed mushrooms

Oh baby, mochiko chicken. Cooked 15 lbs of it.


Desserts: Homemade chocolate ganache, chocolate croissants courtesy of Pillsbury

My pineapple cake!

Fresh blueberry coffee cake

Simple Lemon Icebox Pie

Homemade dark-chocolate brownies, homemade hot fudge, Trader Joe's Vanilla icecream

From a mix, but still mention-worthy. 5lbs of Almond Jello

Doesn't look like much, but my favorite creme brulee thus far: An espresso-coffee creme brulee.
