Bon Appetit!


 One of our favorite things to do together is cook. We enjoy trying new things, experimenting with recipes, and recreating old classics. Here are some of the things we've made:

Corned Beef and Cabbage
I had never even had this before, but Andrew's family makes this every St. Patrick's Day. It was really good and not that hard to make.
Heart Shaped Pizza for Valentine's Day






 Chimichangas
Inside the flour tortilla we have refried beans, onions, spices, and some of our leftover turkey. After frying them in a pan of hot oil for a few seconds till they are crisp, we top them with shredded lettuce, fresh tomatoes, cheese, sour creme, salsa, and in Andrew's case, Valentina brand hot sauce. A Mexican delight! 

Turkey Dinner
 It wasn't Thanksgiving, but we had bought the turkey when it was on sale back in November, and couldn't help making all of the traditional dishes that go with it. Whoever said you couldn't be grateful in February?


Fabulous French Toast
Andrew insisted that we cut it in triangles because the presentation makes the food taste better. We topped it off with strawberries, whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar. Serve it with bacon and a fried egg and it doesn't get much better than that.
